Viper 3,132 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 7 hours ago, VegasEagle said: I not sure everyone had seen my post about the CEO. But a Ceo with over $100 million said he would become an Auburn fan and become a cash supporter if they hire Sanders. It's mind boggling if AU doesn't hire Prime. I hope it is true that Kiffin and his agent are using this to make Ole Miss pay him more. It should default to Prime and recruiting will be off the freaking charts. Also, Saban is retiring soon. This hire is not just key in and of itself. It is also key to get out ahead of Saban's successor. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdp5150 167 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 In the era of a transfer portal the recruiting “prowess” of Coach Prime may not be as great as it used to be. If a coach cannot produce results those players are gone after a year anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s freeze or grimes. it’s more likely that we’ll need to borrow money from him to afford another buy out in 2 years.

Mikey 16,579 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 One thing about this "reach for pie in the sky" fascination with Sanders by some on this message board: In the unlikely event that such an irresponsible hire is made and it, predictably, blows up in Auburn's face, these posters who want Sanders won't have to take the flack for making such an unjustified hire. AU has employed a professional, experienced AD. He's the one who would be a nationwide laughing stock. I don't look for him to be silly enough to buy a pig in a poke. I equate hiring Sanders to some get rich quick scheme. Those sucked in by such schemes usually lose their money. We have more to lose than just money. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one I have watched, he seems to handle everything ad hoc, no plan stands out. Sometimes seems not to be aware if what needs to happen next. I’m hoping (if they interview), they request to see a plan. His persona can get recruits (sometimes), but major CFB needs outstanding plans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as an alpha ruthless competitor with the work ethic, coaching ability, and reputation to get whatever staff he wants and recruit at level we’ve never experienced. He doesn’t need to the money. He’s worth more than the other candidates you mentioned plus saban combined. He’d only leave jax st when and if he felt the school was a platform he could dominate from. Put another way, I always knew it’d be a stretch for au to want Deion and maybe a bigger stretch for him to want au. But if he did, imo, he’d take us to a level we’ve never been. Just an instinct. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,051 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 See? For whatever reason this is the only coach whose character is being questioned for no reason. I'm just surprised that with everything that's discussed, all of the small irrelevant stuff that gets brought up I haven't read on here anybody asking the question what coach has the best interest for the players? The student athletes, what's in the best interest for them? Who has a track record as far as that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead hire the guy who's NEVER been a HC on ANY level? And who averages 2.3 seasons at a program? THAT'S who, far and away, would have more success than Prime at AU?

Guest MustardSeed Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The best argument for Prime was what we saw tonight. He’s like a Caddy. Full of passion and love for people. Not sure he’s ready to be an SEC head coach but if he can get a team to gel half as well as Caddy and recruit top notch, I won’t complain… unless of course I do cause we stink but hey…it’d be entertaining at least! Of our “list” there’s really only 2 I’m not in favor of. Prime isn’t one of ‘em. Caddy showed tonight how important character and chemistry is. I think Prime could potentially build on that.
