A lame duck HC could mean a fast track route to a HC position for a good coordinator if they are paying attention. Our last HCs were not far removed from coordinator positions here. And supposedly the DC was all but hired this last time around. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just over 24 hrs in….

Rumors of facts.

Thanks

Where has Berman been? I don’t recall seeing him since maybe the Alabama game. Haven’t even seen him on the bench, so I thought maybe COVID related, but it has been a while. Anyone heard anything on him or have I just missed him?

Doesn’t have to be…. But it’s gonna be.

Auburn is getting one soon........ Bucee's is our recruiting advantage now! Aaaaaand Niffers? #1 Class coming soon

He probably does win 11 in 2020. I just said he had not reached Sumlin’s top, just as you said he’s not reached KS’s low. I’m not trying to argue, nor insinuate that I’m in the minds of their fan base. I said what I’d think, though as you said it really doesn’t matter. It’s obvious expectations are greater than 8 wins, which is where he is. Based on recruiting, his perception, beating Saban, and salary should they stumble, they’d be hoping for LSU to call. As it relates to the topic, Mason has more of a buffer here, but less talent. More talent there, but higher expectations. His decision to weigh the pros/cons.

What else are they saying? Just out of curiosity.

I get what you are saying. Now, I do say given the well known disaster of the current state of the OL, and the problems that have stemmed from it, I a wise man would learn from his mistakes as well as the mistakes of others. With a fresh start, and the selling point of dire need, we have a grand total of 2 OL committed. One of which is the son of the fired OC and will probably not stick. Yes, Harsin needs time. But the clock is ticking loudly and I don’t see much correction happen. I hope that changes though, and am willing to give him a chance.

The portal hath not giveth.

Yeah, but this is the foundation. Strength is/was the RBs on offense. That who’s leaving… Worm and possibly Tank. And the three year starting QB that was born orange and blue and about as much of a foundation as can be off the field, and often times on the field. Another important phase is the actual rebuild. This all would be lightened if we were blowing the doors off recruiting. And we are not.

You’d best be deciding if you want oak or hickory stake and sharpen your chainsaw.

Fisher has yet to win 11 games, which Sumlin did his first year. Then got stuck at 8 except the final year was 7. Otherwise similar results. He’s had time to recruit and great classes always create buzz and hope. For better recruiting, and the money he makes, I’d think the expectations would be higher and leash shorter.

Are these not emailed by now? Seriously asking if things are that far behind the times.

They fired Sumlin after 6 years of the exact same results they are getting with “an elite” coach in Jimbo.

McGuire and Pate. Both are Auburn fans, and walked on.

You think he’s not a money grabbing coach? Wait until Mobile tosses heavy change his way. There was enough ways for me to say “no, nope, negative” to this one. Rumor around here are there are some pictures that may have in some hot water soon. And he’s a Saban buddy, feeding that program. I’d imagine more money grabbing here.

The last I saw of him, he had an armful of study material. Maybe he’s ready by now?

I’d imagine that time has already been taken and there will be a hire soon.

I saw the intentional groundings, and was frustrated during the the game. I expect missed holds/hands to the face etc…. The grounding is so obvious though. Maybe Bo knew better than we thought https://auburnwire.usatoday.com/?p=29438

McGuire, I think. Unless a punter can pull double duty.

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/auburn-football/bo-nix-reportedly-out-for-this-weeks-south-carolina-game-tj-finley-to-start/ Not 100% credible, but looks like there may be some fire causing all the smoke.

This wasn’t even a knee jerk flag being tossed because of a big collision. Instead, booth initiated. That’s what really gets me.

It has gone from trying to slow down the HUNH, to simply using it as a way to sub. Rules have been shifting against the defense, so they have to find ways to get an advantage or even it out. I hate the fake injury method, but you can’t blame them (or whomever) for balancing the scales. And I’m not sure how to fix it, since player safety is the hinge phrase.
