He is more a west coast guy from a recruiting standpoint, and the probably can compete in the PAC-12, especially once USC is gone to the B1G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any other job where you can come completely undone, fail in every aspect to the detriment of your employer and not have a monetary consequence. It should work both ways. Number of wins, bowl games, championships, recruiting rankings should all have bonuses attached. The idea that we are paying multiple coaches millions for sucking it up is 🤬 Golden parachutes are pretty common for high paid execs in all industries, especially for Fortune 500 companies and then high flying tech companies -- both private and public.

It is about keeping the class intact and making sure the pieces behind the scene at bay. Running meetings, coming up and following game plans. Keeping structure not only on the field but off the field. Knowing communication and leadership style as well. I think you truly think it is as easy as saying here you go, run the ship haha. But fair enough. I will say I believe Etheridge would be a better resort than caddy. Edited September 18, 2022 by DAG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if people know this but he was selected to American Football Coaches Association institution which is pretty damn cool. Things like that are very meaningful. That tells me he has taken the necessary steps in working on his craft on and off the field as a leader. So I would love to see him succeed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckMic91 369 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think our biggest problem is going to be finding the right coach. Not because we can’t I just don’t trust us to. You have the “untouchables” that if you hold your nose and pull the trigger and take the horrible media backlash your program will be fine. Meyer, Gruden, Briles. You have the guys that if you opened the bank for they may leave retirement. Stoops, Peterson. you have poachable HCs from other teams. Aranada, Kiffin, Freeze, Wittingham. you have NFL guys. Rhule, Moore. I’m sure there are others. you have the “pure recruiter” hire like Deion, McGee. The options exist when Harsin is fired. Will we choose a guy, target him, open the checkbook, let him build a staff, let him rip. Hopefully the Harsin debacle showed the need to spend money on the right coach and NIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read some of us that are not sold because of experience and other things. I agree with some of you that say it’s about the recruiting. I want to expand on what I think makes Deion a great choice. We, Auburn, need a culture change!!! That is what Deion can do. Auburn, and even some of us on this board, have been stagnant for a while now and have just accepted mediocrity. We need life breathed into the program and something exciting to look forward to! This is what Deion can do. Not only being a great recruiter, he can bring in a great staff. You know they say you want to bring in great people to make you look better. That’s what he can do. Change culture and bring excitement to our incredible university, we definitely deserve it at this point!! Look Deion is a great player and person and maybe a decent coach, but he is not a D1 SEC West team coach yet. Maybe someday but he doesn’t have the experience yet. Again I think the world of Deion but we don’t need someone OJTing at Auburn 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
