You can always blame it on auto correct.....

Steering a couple of OL recruits to your potential employer is one helluva way to ace a job interview. Unreal if true.

Some of us need to deprogram ourselves from automatically dismissing the man as a show boater. You might be shocked to learn about how old school he really is as a coach. Is he known as some brilliant OC or DC guru? No. Was Dabo? Nope. But Dabo has proven you can win big by winning the hearts and minds of the players and coaches. Deon seems to have some of those same attributes. https://www.si.com/college/2022/06/09/deion-sanders-fuels-rise-of-hbcu-football-daily-cover All that being said, I seriously doubt a 100% united Auburn front could sway him enough to pursue this 24/7 meat grinder of a job. Read the article.

Hubris....

A future Tom Brady is not on the bench, but it's better having more options than not having them.

Welcome! And now the naysayers in 3,2,1.........

It was refreshing to see a QB make the short, quick throws look crisp and routine. The recipients were consistently given a good ball to catch and run with. Execution in this area of the offense was a huge improvement. Can't emphasize that enough. The playmakers having more opportunities in space while forcing the opposing D to play more honest and cover more of the field. The 2 ints are great opportunities to learn from.

Hasn't it been said it'd be nice if some of these 4 star kids would wise up and seek immediate playing time elsewhere (us) versus riding the bench behind 5 stars at UGA and UAT? AND, in the process weaken some of the incredible depth those two juggernauts enjoy? At best, Ike Hilliard transforms this motivated kid into a productive player. At worst, he ends up at safety anyway. Only this time, he's grateful in the knowledge that Auburn gave him his one shot at WR. Yes we need top tier playmakers. But equally important, we need DEPTH. This kid potentially offers it at two different positions. That's a bonus if you ask me. Gotta start somewhere.

Could be extremely motivated to prove the doubters wrong. Sold.

Sounds a little like the ole ball coach (Spurrier).

Sooner or later, moped or motorcycle, football player or not, riding with no helmet in the streets multiple times will draw attention.....

2017. Dominated both UGA and UAT. Took their foot off the throat of LSU. A QB (Stidham) who could actually complete a deep ball with regularity (Slayton). And had beautiful chemistry with first down machine Ryan Davis, who was unguardable in some games. A healthy Kerryon guarantees a trip to the CFP.

Yes. Harsin inherited that mess from the great Chris Peterson no less.

Nevermind. The hate is pretty strong and personal. It's a good look, too. Really. Carry on.

In 7 years, 5 1st places finishes and 2 2nd place finishes. That's not steady winning? Judge him on his performance at Auburn, but let's be reasonable.

'Mikey' Farrell. No wonder.

Consider whom Auburn has beaten so far. FSU, UCLA, Oregon St (twice at their place), and Stanford. All historical programs. Single handedly eliminating the PAC 12’s 3 best teams. Hopefully the bats have awakened now. What better time than now for some sweet revenge on Arky and Ole Miss? Both of them are owed some serious payback.

Most sinker ballers take time to get settled in. Nervous. Amped up. Gonzo's stuff looked a WHOLE lot better in the 2nd. Left handed hitters he's handling. It's the righty's that gave him trouble in the 1st. Ok. Our lineup has struggled since the Regional, except for Sonny. We need to start getting on base.

In a nutshell, Auburn abc baseballed and outexecuted Oregon State to death. We didn't have to bunch 3 or more hits together to scratch out a run. We had timely hits yes, but just as important, we made timely outs that moved base runners along. There was minimal wildness in terms of wild pitches, passed balls, hit batters, and walks. The walks bit us some, OSU received 12 to Auburn's 10. But hit batters flipped it around. Auburn was hit 4 times, OSU 1. Another major factor. Auburn struck out an eye popping 35 OSU batters! OSU struck out 22 Auburn batters. Game 3 was an incredible 14 to 5 in Auburn's favor. The bullpen was lights out. LaRue and the pitching staff deserve major props for winning that battle and keeping us in every game. The overwhelming advantage in strikeouts was a tremendous equalizer. We put the ball in play WAY more than OSU. It can win games when you're being out hit as OSU did in 2 out of the 3 contests. Magnificent poise and mental toughness on the biggest stage in a hostile, completely foreign environment in every way imaginable. The time difference. The late starts and finishes. The weather. The turf. The hour+ travel distance between the hotel and the stadium. The early start for Game 3. This bunch doesn't have a whole lot of boppers, but they are A+++ in the guts, grinding, and execution departments.

Bless his heart, it was obvious KH couldn't see the ball. I hope he never sees a replay of his last at bat. At worst, it's a 2-1 count if he never takes a swing.

Honestly, in this case, I'd rather have a guy with a scorer's makeup, who's not afraid to take and make the big shot. AND who puts severe pressure on a defense. If he's really good, it should open up floor spacing, making it easier for him to distribute. He wouldn't have to be as adept as Cooper or Harper or Green.

It may not have seemed like a good hire at the moment to some. But given the simplicity of the offense and the roster at the time, could a bona fide expert Xs and Os and technique coach really have made a big impact? What we needed was talent at a position. All Kodi had to do, was relate, recruit, and convince players to buy in. And he delivered in big way. The risk was not that big considering the circumstances. No one could ever question his leadership. Switching from QB to WR. That was one helluva of an example of sacrifice for the good of the team. And a sign of future good karma. Like catching Auburn's first TD pass ever in a National Championship game. And later moving into coaching.......

No more "Two and a Barbeque". Classic. You tell'em coach! It was surreal watching Auburn totally dominate and destroy a pair of historic programs. One after the other. This was different. The entire weekend was a mismatch from start to finish. And if they played again? Same result. Weird. Did I just say that? Coach BT was having a real hard time hiding his excitement about where this team is. As if he senses something great is about to happen. The light bulb, so to speak, may have come on for this team.
