My guess is he's juggling offers from multiple schools right now. He should not have lost last night but he's done well with a depleted roster this season.

If we can land him and pair him with a strong DC the rest of the SEC is on notice.

Everyone is talking about being a portal king.  Well in a year or so they won't be able to come in and just start playing 

Why?

I agree 100%.

So I'm supposed to forgo millions because QB1 and my LT get knocked out for the season?

If anyone in the future asks "why does Auburn keep hiring these unknown coaches" show them this thread. Never before in my life have I seen a fanbase not want a coach, who would be in a dynasty if it weren't for UA, because he was snarky after a win 10 years ago. Someone mentioned before he's been lucky because he's had great QBs... do you not think he had a hand in them being on the team? "He won't be in it with his heart" "The fans won't accept him" Good grief. Some of you are so paranoid he'd leave for UA when Saban retires... ya know that whole "little brother" stereotype... this is where it comes from.

This has truly been a pathetic thread to follow, reeking of insecurity and LBS.

The harsin effect. His failure is our success. 

It's often said you have to hit rock bottom before you can recover.

That's nice of them but they are children and have no idea what they are talking about.

The place looks first class from those pictures above and the players are absolutely loving it.  It's going to be a huge inducement when hiring our next coach.

It makes me so happy they told Harsin and Co. they could not move in 😆

Yeah I don’t care. The names are stupid. Dude, it’s a university. The taxpayers are the biggest donors. And for the athletics side it’s ESPN and CBS. 

You think the tax payers are the largest donors for the football complex?

The best thing for Auburn would be to get Gernier as many reps as possible, regardless of outcome.  The best thing for the coaches is to try to win games, which can be at odds with the first sentence.

The tickers may be sold but I'll be shocked if the butts are in the seats.  I hope I'm wrong, this team still deserves support.

I doubt anyone see's the play chart other than the OC, not even the HC.  The HC may have input such as I want 60% runs on first down, but the play chart is the OC's game notes, how he wants to flow the game.  No other coach would need this.  The position coaches would only need to know all of the plays in the package for the game, formation personnel, and assignments.   I wouldn't think knowing the OC's 20 play options for 2nd and 5 - 8 would add much positive value.

Yeah, this seems like trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

You think he would come here after AU made so much fun of him as a non-OC ( what alot of people were referring to him as)?

Yes.  I'm not sure why your reasoning would even play into his decision.

Thanks, that was my guess but not a surname I think I've ever seen.

What’s idiotic is pretending Lane Kiffin suddenly isn’t Lane Kiffin anymore.

When I say “Ole Miss is Ole Miss” it obviously refers to expectations and job prestige. He can win 8 games a year in Oxford until the end of time and be fine. Not that way at an Auburn or USC. 

But once again you’re being intentionally overly quantitative. That’s what happened the last time we went and found the “third winningest active coach” in Bryan Harsin.

You completely ignore the human element. And in this case, the human element is Lane Kiffin is a man-child who has made a mess at literally every stop except FAU. Give him time in Oxford. He’ll do the same. 

How on EARTH after the interpersonal disaster we just experienced under our last HC is Lane even being discussed? 

But he's not winning 8 at OM, he's winning 10.  

How do you pronoune Woltolsz?

I’d take him over Hugh and a lot of the other lower tier candidates

Bring Bo and Dilly in too 

Just curious but why do you have him over Freeze?

I wouldnt think so either but this article says otherwise. Im not one to trust various media sources like this though and i highly doubt dillingham is an option whatsoever

It doesn't pass the common sense test and not a single AU beat writer is discussing it from what I've seen.  Roberts/Cohen aren't staking their careers on Dilly Dilly.

39 minutes ago, ThurstontheWelshCorgi said:

Kenny Dillingham 👎 and I actually liked Dilly as a coordinator but a coaching candidate? Hard pass.

Dillingham is not a candidate for HC at Auburn.  I could see him following Lanning to AU as OC though.

I'd rather have Freeze than Lanning.  Lanning is probably my top Tier B choice though.

Anders broke all of Daniel's highschool records. There was plenty enough reason to give the benefit of the doubt on Anders.

Why do I care about his HS results when I can look at his career in college?

I know he left under awkward circumstances. But is he forever burnt at Auburn as a coordinator, or could he coach the defense for Kiffin, Freeze, or Deion? I think he probably knows now he’s not getting that big HC opportunity any time soon, after Auburn and Tennessee passed on him. 
 

Alternative, has the shine worn off T Rob? And I’m sure many here would like to see T Will come home. 

Why would you want T-Will to come back?  His LB recruiting was not good at all and he tried to sow dissension on the team based on race.

Lanning is intriguing but he has a $14M buyout according to an Oregon fan on another board.  I was completely against Freeze last season but he's continuing to prove he's a very good coach and I'm warming up to him.  Kiffin is a "safe" hire but I'm not sure what he'd cost to bring on board.  Deion is in Tier B for me but I wouldn't hate the hire.  I'm not big on Grimes or Rhule.
