It means we actually might get a good coach without spending 59 million bucks. AU could load up on incentives and maybe not pay tons up front. If I understand the situation correctly.

W.E.D 11,070 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 5 hours ago, Zeek said: AUBURN, Ala. — Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, who was an all-American running back at Auburn and has served as an assistant coach the previous four seasons, will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. As a player at Auburn, Williams helped lead Auburn to an undefeated season in 2004 while earning All-America honors that year. The 2005 NFL Rookie of the Year, Williams had a seven-year NFL career before entering the coaching ranks. The Auburn graduate is in his fourth season as an assistant coach where he has served as the Tigers' running backs coach. Amazing. So pumped for him. Love that the guys I went to college with and watch are now leaders for Auburn. Go Crazy, Cadillac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can restart his career and not give up any money. Back load a ton of incentives and make even more Panthers payout + AU salary and incentives. What am I missing?

If I'm Rhule , and pissed at the Panthers , I can take a minimum salary, still make bank , on a contract that will pay me a ton of money on the backside with incentives. What am I missing? Not being an a$$. I just don't understand the downside for either party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuscAUse! 1,400 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I wasn't wrong. He may or may not be offered at AU, and he may or may not accept, but if you wanted to try and work a deal on a name College coach, Rhule is your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Brown 2,391 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Carnell played for my old alma mater, the Etowah Blue Devils. My hometown is Attalla. I have always admired his accomplishments. I hope whoever the new coach is, that he keeps Caddy. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone4jc 2,241 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This made me smile. Did not even think about him being the first African- American head coach at Auburn.

Taker 494 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hear me out... Now that Harsin is gone the team instantly comes together and we see a massive improvement from all units in all 3 phases of the game. OL blocks and opens holes/gets push RB are able to break loose and really open up the field WR show massive upswing in route running and catch radius QB looks settled and is able to make the throws needed down the stretch DL wreaks havoc on opposing OL and lives in the backfield Secondary becomes lock down due to the DL being so dominate Carlson remembers how to kick. All of this happens because of Caddy and Zac bringing this team back together and them believing in something bigger, we storm to an impressive 7-5 record and make a bowl game (and win it) That's the pipe dream fellas (and ladies) #NOThardforharsin #CRAZYFORCADDY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ber798297 241 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) It’s been a great day. I’m so happy for Caddy. I love how we are all united again. I know it won’t last long as there will be debates over the new head coach in a couple of months. But I’m going to just enjoy this. Long post so I apologize in advance. We may not win anymore games this season and I am ok with that. The trash needed to be taken out. Caddy will be a great leader of the guys. My son is a senior in high school. In his four years of playing football, he’s had 6 head coaches. Yes you read that right… 6. They had a few coaches quit on them. One even quit 2 weeks before fall camp. Fortunately, each year we’ve had parents who were assistant coaches step up and fill in. Our football program suffered and morale was low. This year when the coach left two weeks before fall camp, my son emailed the AD of his school and asked for a specific assistant coach to be named interim head coach for the season. He stated in his email that the coach was respected, trusted and loved by the players. The AD listened and convinced that coach to take over. This was the best decision my son’s high school AD ever made. This coach got the program back on track and we actually were in contention for the playoffs this year. We came up short because our QB got hurt and lost a must win game 2 weeks ago. My point in this long post is sometimes it’s not all about the Xs and Os. Sometimes it’s who the players can get behind and execute those Xs and Os. I think Coach Caddy is that Coach. Let’s get behind Coach Caddy and stay behind him the rest of the way no matter the outcomes. Edited November 1, 2022 by Ber798297 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
