I answered your question a few texts ago. I said Georgia and Bama wouldn't give a damn what schedule they play. I also said LSU faces Florida which over time can be argued is harder than us facing Georgia. 

There's your answer. I think those 3 would trade schedules because I think those 3 aren't programs that are scared to play anybody.

How in the world can playing Florida be considered tougher than playing Georgia.  That makes no sense.

Maybe Roberts created the list bc Freeze tried to keep McGriff on staff!! I don’t know and believe only few do know. I definitely know posting that as Roberts did was certainly not an outcome from his extreme leadership position. He missed it by a long shot but maybe Freeze did too.

McGriff was gone to aTm before Roberts posted his tweet.

i was just going to ask this myself. i think we had a highly rated secondary? why would you not retain crimedog?

Crime is not a completely innocent victim.  Reports that he physically assaulted Roberts on the practice field have circulated.

I'm sitting over here trying not to judge the intelligence of the people pushing Carnell for HC....

Don't apologize for a long post. Apologize to your [Enter] key for abandoning him.

I had an anxiety attack just looking at the wall of text.

Macready says that we're waiting on the game to finish to make an offer out of respect for Caddy. If true, stupid stupid stupid.

In reality, we will all be behind whoever our next coach is because we want him to be successful..

I guess there will be the occasional wing nut that will be hoping our next guy fails...

This new AD and prez seem to be working well with the PTB so I’m quite optimistic that they will hire someone that will be successful.

This.  If we don't give our next HC everything he needs, then we might as well just give up.

Isn’t that pledged money, not necessarily the actual fund?

Isn't our supposed number just pledges at this point as well?  I genuinely do not know.

“We’re gonna float a lot of big names for about a month then hire someone that no one has heard of until right this second”

It worked out so well the last time. 😒

I'm not finding any evidence he's a strong recruiter, which should at the very top of the list of qualifications for the next HC.  With Freeze supposedly being off the table, Lanning is starting to become more intriguing to me.

They would lower them for this "special class" of people.  Welcome to the death of meritocracy.

They already do that.

It’s hard for me to believe that this guy made the short list over Deion.

Why?  On paper he's much more qualified for an SEC HC position?

Rita Rodriguez is why Saban is in Tuscaloosa. Rich had accepted the job and hours later his wife Rita said she didn't want to move to Tuscaloosa. So they stayed at West Virginia. In 2007, they had to beat a bad Pitt team and they would play for the Natty. It all fell apart in that game and they lost. They were undefeated going into that last game. Pat White and Steve Slayton were QB and RB on that team. West Virginia was still Big East back then. We went and played them in 2008 at their place and we were up 17-0 at half. They scored 34 unanswered and beat us 34-17. Rich later got the Michigan job and FLOPPED!!!!

I remember Alabama fans wore shirts that said "Thank you Rita Rodriguez" because if not for her, Saban never gets the call and they never have this dynasty. 

Ruined my business plan of selling houndstooth sombreros.

Because of Sankey and Freeze/Barney 

Interesting.  Rivals mods were adamant that Sankey had approved Freeze back to the SEC back in February.

OM got jobbed on the backward pass.  Refs obviously blew the play dead as players from both side just stop and stand around.

2 big things I did not like, should've gotten 7 on at least one of those early FG drives and not kicking the FG when they went for it.

I thought the shuffle pass was an ok call, the guy was across the goal line and it would have been a TD without an incredible play by the DL.  The 99 yard drive under that pressure was well called and executed.

Overall I give Kiffin a B- in this one.

I thought it was the right call there.

I liked the call to go for it, but I'd have probably run Judkins.

SIP > SEC  ?

SIP = missisSIPpi, also referred to as The Sip by some.

LSU 2019. Before that was Ole Miss 2015 and before that was TAMU 2012.

That is the most mind-boggling stat from the Saban dynasty. From 2011 to today, only 4 losses at home. 

I don't know if I'll see another coach as good as him in my lifetime.

Huge Auburn fan, but I work the chains at Ole Miss games. Rumor floating around at Ole Miss today is that Kiffin will sign his Ole Miss extension on the Jumbotron just before kickoff tonight. 
 

Stay tuned.

Please tell it will be done WWF intro style with theme music and some pyrotechnics.

You are the ones spouting generic lines about Gus 2.0.  For instance, gus while not completely shutting the door did a lot better job than Freeze.  When Freeze beat alabama twice, ole miss had the inside track to the west and SEC but could not finish either year.  Gus in 2013 did win the West and SEC but did not win the BCS.  In 2017 Gus won the West but not the SEC.  So Freeze isn't Gus 2.0 because Gus has more accomplishments than Freeze.  For pete sake, for you people that want to hire a cheater at least go out an find one that can cheat us some BCS championship

  Freeze is so incompetent he couldn't even cheat Ole Miss to the West.

Dude.  It's Ole Miss.  He "cheated" to bring in some studs but never had any depth there.  A coach can only do so much with OM resources. The way he got those studs is completely legal now, and I never cared about it in the first place.  I wish we'd have "cheated" more and signed some OL and QBs.

Interesting, I haven't heard that. Thanks.

I'm not claiming it's gospel, just what I've been told from both sides of that rivalry.

It was never about his personal indiscretions. 

Ok, fair.  I have been told by OM and MSU fans that Cohen was very involved in Freeze's indiscretions being brought to light.  The implication was always there was now bad blood between the two.

There are a lot of coaches out there who would be worse hires than Freeze.  I hope we don't hire one.

Told, "It's not going to be Freeze"

I assumed when we hired Cohen that Freeze was off the list.  I think that's a shame, he'd be on my list.
