It's the typical ex-AU player is the bestest and all we need is a coaching staff full of ex-players and we're set mentality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUY2K 258 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I hope Auburn didn’t break the bank on Kiffins contract with little left to hire decent OC, DC, and assistants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC - edit (I see Charlie Weis Jr is Co-OC at OM) DC - Will Muschamp (Lane’s offense coupled with a top notch defense would be something special!) I’m sure Monte would continue in an advisory role RB/AHC - Cadillac Williams Does he retain any more of our guys, like Ike or Zac? Anyone else from OM staff? Any other known connections that would be a good fit? Zac E is good enough to stay on, otherwise, no one else on the current staff should be retained but let go to pursue other successes. I think Travis Williams is worth a look to return. Will Muschamp is banned from entering Auburn city limits. My personal out-of-the-box pick is Mike Leach for OC since he'll get fired after Lane beats him and since LK does most of the work, ML will only have to work about 20 hours per week which leaves him plenty of time to steal snarky remarks from me. #WDE Edited November 23, 2022 by Systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s likely the only way we would get him is if he was at least a co offensive coordinator. Same thing for T will. He will not take a demotion from his DC job to be a LB coach again unless he was somehow let go from his other job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying he is a great recruiter. I was just making sure bird meant how the post came across because I could’ve sworn him saying he was a great recruiter before. Plus bird always posts coaches’ best recruits whenever he says that someone is a great recruiter so I’m just giving him that opportunity now. So it’s a question for him not me.

Son of A Tiger 555 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Kiffin vs. Leach should be a shoot out in the Egg Bowl. Maybe 70 p0ints total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,831 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Yeah my opinion/word on the street is that Caddy is a decent recruiter but the lore of him being a crazy great recruiter is fable. maybe someone can correct us if that’s wrong. He is certainly very good at making bonds and connections with the players he gets, so this isn’t meant to attack in any way. But more importantly for this discussion, i get a little miffed at folks who get worried about Auburn’s contracts, $ issues, and such. First of all, it’s not “real” money. Most people, including myself, that contribute to the program love Auburn but do so as tax writeoffs. Plus, what’s it to me if somebody decides to spend their money that way? And finally, do we understand how much money comes in from football when the program is successful? $10M is a drop in the bucket! In other words, just don’t worry about such things. When Lane is the coach, he will be able to get who he wants and the $ will be there. Just sayin. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre serious about getting a top coach, 9.5-10 is the market rate. I dont care any more about that than I do players getting NIL money. Who deserves it more than them? The TV money is exploding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - the Auburn PTB "should" fine Caddy a promising landing spot; they have the resources to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
