Against one of the top rush defenses in the country, on the road, with the same oline harsin had. Pretty impressive even though losing still sucks.

He took the same team that should have lost to Mizzou and rushed over 300 yards against Alabama on the road with that oline. We could do a lot worse with a new coach.

Lose. Its spelled lose. Loose is what the juice got.

What Dave aranda doing?

i agree, but i think its not kiffin either. someone else. don't ask me who, but i think its someone else.

wut?

those who use the term "jaba" deserve to be mocked and ridiculed. sounds like something a teenaged girl would say.

agree with this. i didn't want freeze, but in the current environment (read jimbo's albatross of a contract) point 3 can't be overstated enough. hopefully Auburn does use that leverage to its advantage.

which is saying something considering we now have paying players and basic free agency.

Sabotage may be a foot. This could be a trick to distract a fired up Auburn with nothing to lose headed to t-town when they know saban is about to retire and bama is actually about to hire kiffin. ::adjusts tin foil hat::

if i were going to hire Caddy, i would make his base salary low (2-2.5Mill), load him up with money for assistants, then incentivize the hell out of his contract. give him a shot to make 15 Mil if he wins an NC and signs a top recruiting class. i think thats how you drive a young up and coming coach. thought Caddy may not even care about the money at some point (2-3 mil per year).

my point is that IF someone were to do it, Kiffin is exactly that someone.

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 fun part will come when saban retires after this year

dabo's recruiting has messed his roster up. he stopped signing full classes (i think one year he signed 16 players) because he didn't believe in "processing players" and therefore could not keep his lines stocked. by the time he realized it the damage had been done and its not been a quick fix. we could do worse obviously, but i don't know about dabo. plus his personality is terrible.

gross

I hurt for him that they didn't get the win last night. The way the game started it looked pretty disastrous, but they went to the half MADE ADJUSTMENTS (who ever heard such a thing) and came out and just about won the game. I love Auburn, I love Caddy, and I love be how much he loves Auburn. Losing sucks but I'm so happy he got this opportunity and I also hope he gets to continue to grow with Auburn, whoever the next coach is.

Perhaps, but the roster will be stocked

my only concern with kiffin is he is an absolute mercenary. otherwise im all for him.

im not saying that. im saying we are where we are with harsin. the chance its going to get worse with prime is incredibly small but the chance he could be outstanding is much high. even if he is as bad as harsin was (which would very difficult) Auburn isn't any worse off in the grand scheme. Auburn is a going concern so to speak, its not going anywhere. if we make 10 bad hires in a row, there will still be an 11th hire to try and make up for it. don't let the fear of striking out keep you from swinging.

see, i see prime as low risk, especially compared to what we just had. there is not ceiling and honestly could he really do worse than harsin?

i even impress myself sometimes

aside from rhule, who i don't think is a serious candidate, we won;t know about any of these until after the season.

Side note: heupel is a weird lookin dude

yeah, gus didn't even know what he had in Cam until 4 or so games into the season.
