This is different now to me

[cole256 17,039]

This may be the most talent depleted team I've seen at Auburn. This changes how I'm looking at what we need as far as coaching. 

So I know I won't get credit, acknowledged, or whatever because the admin don't too much care for me, but a very long time ago I said we needed Sanders, of course I was stupid and all of that....now over the past week some high profile media has said it and the "insiders" here have mentioned it and now it's ok to say. 

 

But I was sort of going back and forth with it in my mind, but seeing how depleted we are he's obviously the best choice. I think he's shown a lot as far as being able to coach but even if he couldn't we're at a point where we need a talent upgrade or we are going to be just like one of the Mississippi school's. Like this is serious right now, we are at a crossroad where we could fall off the map. 

It would be worth it to bring somebody in that could stock us back up with talent. There's nobody else that could come in and recruit in between bammer and Georgia

I agree 100%.

It wouldn’t be any crazier than hiring a guy with a 5-19 HC record or a guy 7 years removed from high school coaching.

Agree need someone to help draw recruits and put Auburn back to a positive look.

For what it's worth here is an article of the flight tracker

We need someone who can be a game changer. Deion could bring that. Immediate attention to the program, I believe he’d be a hell of a recruiter. I don’t know how he will actually do as an SEC head coach. Could end up being a great decision or an absolutely terrible decision. Don’t have much to lose at this point.

[autigeremt 6,569]

Hiring Sanders now might be a good talent draw but can he coach and produce in the SEC on the field? Is Auburn ready to be a lab for this? That’s just as important as recruiting.

We have a lot to lose. We cannot afford to regress any further, therefore, the next coach needs to be picked appropriately.  You can easily dig your program into a black hole with continuous failed coaches.

You did good, bud.

I have no problem with the opinion. Just don’t understand the constant need for the prefatory whine about “credit.” That said, it would make those Aflac commercials must-see TV.

I did read where his dream job is FSU which makes sense, but what happens if we hire him and then that job opens? He likely bolts.

That is the old Kirby Smart argument.

Recruiting is a big part of it. But the ability to assemble a staff is also important.  If memory serves, Sanders convinced Mike Zimmer , ex coach of Vikings to join his staff in some capacity.  I said 2 months ago that Sanders intrigues me. I don't think AU should hire Sanders to make some statement or prove a point. He needs to be vetted fairly like all the other candidates.  Find out his vision for the program, what he looks for in coordinators etc... He will definitely fix our most pressing need which is talent acquisition..

What happens if we had hired Kirby and that job opened up. I guess we’ll never know.

I think he heads right back to his alma mater in my opinion.

I've explained it quite a few times, I don't see people say this to the all the other people that do it. I definitely don't see you or anybody else question it when a post is made and someone is saying we were talking about this or we said this is the paid forum a week ago....but ok cool

[jptiger 481]

I don’t see any negatives to hiring Sanders. Coach Primetime has a nice ring to it and he/Auburn would without a doubt be an instant major player come signing day. Get him before he’s gone.

Ok but so what? You'd rather have somebody who sucks because they aren't wanted?

I don't know what you are talking about as far as proving a point or making a statement

Nope don't do that. Who cares if he his here and leaves in a short time but gets us stable with recruiting. I don't care if he leaves in 3 years as long as he does that I'll be happy.

Not at all, but didn’t Kirby want more control a la Saban and he wasn’t going to get that at AU. Nobody has since Dye.

And he would instantly bring attention to Auburn. It would be must watch TV. Plus he is such a great interview.  Auburn has been boring for a long time now...we need some swagger.
