Yes that's exactly what I said. Us and LSU not being good the last couple of years absolutely equals me saying playing in the sec championship is trash

I have come to determine over the years that Cole doesn't really know much about what he types.

Meh, it will me roughly 1 of 2 responses or some combination of the 2

1. He wasn't talking to me and I should mind my own business

2. Insinuate I'm some sort of racist because I wasn't fully on board with hiring Deion

Absolutely. That particular stat is thrown around here a good bit. I think It's impressive cut come on

You know how you can hear it takes more than recruiting? Well this to sort of in a way. It going to take more than getting the wins when us,LSU and Texas am are trash right now

Playing in the SECCG is "trash"

While it is bama hate week, I'd also like to point out that's it's also time for the annual Operation Iron Ruck. AU & UAT veteran students are marching from Auburn to Tuscaloosa in order to bring more attention to veteran suicide.

Kiffin should come in and keep the defensive staff as is!

So, you just want to keep the current staff and just change the HC?

Carnell can recruit and knows talent regardless of stars.  Proof is in the pudding!

Tank and JH!!!!!

Rodney Garner is listed as the primary recruiter for Tank. I'll give you Jarquez though

So you wouldn't keep Caddy?

I've gone back and forth on this in my head multiple times and I'm thinking I wouldn't keep him on staff.

If he wants to grow in the coaching profession, he needs to go elsewhere. I would help find him a landing spot where he could continue to expand his professional toolbox.

I hope Auburn didn’t break the bank on Kiffins contract with little left to hire decent OC, DC, and assistants.

We're not a poverty program.

Well, he's a great running backs coach, a great recruiter, and popular with fans. He'd have to be insane not to keep him, but then again we are talking about Lane Kiffen.

I keep seeing this here and is it really true or is it a view through O&B glasses?

Plausible deniability?

They've got their rivalry game on Thursday. Telling his players anything else right now would be monumentally dumb

yep, and im telling yall, if he comes here and does well and the next coach at bama (when ever that is) stumbles, he is exactly the kind of person who would leave Auburn for Alabama.

im not saying thats a reason not to hire him, just an observation.

The gumps would never hire an Auburn HC to be their HC. It just won't happen.

Just now, Brad_ATX said:

I don't think he was checked out at all.  His players were dog crap at executing in key spots tonight.  Kept shooting themselves in the foot.

Fair point

Y'all losing your minds over 1 bad game where it was obvious the HC was checked out

Gotta love how it's always a rally on how players don't know anything.....also seems about right to see stuff like "prisoners running the asylum" .

Same guys that get triggered when you question have they ever played or coached mind you, because they get upset that their armchair coaching isn't valid. Now let's go even further to say players don't know anything period. The players are dumb, they need the old guys with the money to make decisions for them.......

But then when the team don't play for a guy who doesn't give a damn about them the board is crying again. Around this time last year most of the people saying this were laughing and celebrating players and coaches leaving......we're learning the hard way though, keep it up!

I don't know that anyone said the players are dumb but, I guess you have to keep to your script.

They’re young adults, Caddy won’t be HC but they know what they’re talking about more than random fans on a message board

They know next to nothing about running a program. It's an emotional appeal by them. I get it, Caddy is great at connecting with the players in the locker room, meeting rooms, practice fields, etc. but that doesn't mean you hand the keys to the program to him.

I don’t think it’s necessary to tear in to caddy for his lack of experience. It’s a waters wet debate. It’s highly doubtful he’s even in play this cycle. But he should be get a permanent position of some sort and be in consideration down the road. Imo 15 years from now whoever we’re about to hire will probably be gone (hopefully after winning many many “big games”). And caddy will still be here.

The only way you guarantee that is if it's an AD position. You don't drop a bank full of money on a HC and then tell him who he has to keep.

If Caddy wins out and takes us to a bowl, he earned at least 2 years.

yes yes i understand this dude i am 67 years old so i have a little bit of a clue. but you people are looking at it wrong. punt bama punt. kick six. you guys know the list and i think caddy belongs on that list for how he turned the team around on short notice and gave auburn their pride back. i stand by my words.

Sure, I agree, put him on that list. However, that doesn't guarantee him a spot on the next staff.

There’s a guy, apparently an offensive innovator, who has a Group of 5 team ranked #17 in the nation. Actually played for a natty in only his second year as a HC.

What is so damn great about Lame Kitten. Hell, I would take Monte over the Brat. His 15 minutes of fame is up. He is using Auburn to get more money out of Ole Miss. Fired 3 damn times and that is a Big Time Hire.

Why is this a thing right now? "possible verbal commit but won't know anything till after the iron bowl?" 

Feels like an attempt by the ptb to redirect the herd towards a new narrative for some reason. Feels like a controlled and orchestrated redirect.

Our ptb's are really good at utilizing certain journalist to spark a fire on twitter to accomplish this means as we saw w the Harsin deal in the off season. No big deal, just sort of interesting to me.

A verbal agreement but holding off the announcement until the end of the regular season isn't uncommon.

Yeah, but why? I knew it was Kodi but I feel like I'm missing the punchline here somewhere.
