W.E.D

I don't know much about HS football, just going off his recruiting profile that said he was a corner. Did he play both ways?

He's a 5* DB from pinson that is an EE at Bama and should be starting classes on Tuesday

I'm sure Nix got some extra years, money, guarantee, something for that.

Yes. Lane is taunting Auburn and daring us to do it

Lane really laying into this. Borderline shook Nix is our #1 guy...guess we're trying to figure the contract out

He was with Hugh back at Ole Miss and apparently something called Lambeth. So they have a relationship. Who knows. He's making 1.5mm at PSU, so we'd probably need to bump that.

Lots of threads on on3 being deleted

Tom Allen a new DC name Solid name and much better than Durkin. Penn State hired him a month ago

Believe as an LB coach. I hope we don't hire a HC who watched a player die during a workout. I guess we'll need a little extra baptism, grace, and forgiveness if that happens

Lmao DJ Durkin is now being floated by "insiders" on forums. Pathetic

Kent Austin

Right. We didn't get "hugh's guy" the first go around b/c we were scared of a 2mm buyout and ended up paying Montgomery a 2.5mm buyout. Fail with who you want

Seems like the Weekend updates are: OC - Waiting for Nix. No one knows what the hold up is. I'm guessing it is contract buyout related just like it was last year. DC - Since Kiffin might be delayed a week Hugh might look at other options. This makes zero sense to me. If he's your guy, what is a one week? At worst it is 2. Just be patient

Lane is trying to stop it. That tweet, getting ESPN to run the play calling story, etc

Welp, looks like another week with no DC. It really doesn't matter as long as Kiffin happens after the NFL season

I mean, we literally just brought a former player home to coach and be the Co DC

He's got 2 massive buyouts. He's set for life

At what point do we move on from Nix? Monday? There is really no reason for him to not jump on board if he's coming.

No on follows NCAA rules

3 dolts. 8 people with reading skills and critical thinking. Couple mad responses too

Similar to on the field coaching restrictions, the NCAA puts a restriction on recruiters who can visit players off campus. Usually it is a 1 to 1 of On Field Coaches to recruiting off campus. I'd guess Kent Austin will not be a designated off campus recruiter. I'm actually kind of shocked more schools have done this more often as it breaks up responsibilities and a greater focus on both. Players can still video call with position coaches and meet them on campus.

For the life of me don't understand the staff's thinking here. They came to realize the obvious on QB, but we all know our pass rush was bad. McCloud seems okay, but we could definitely use another on pass rushing downs. Riley get's another attempt to convert to edge? Maybe cost prohibitive to get a pass rusher too.

DC - TBD (Kiffin or TRob) DL - Garrett LB - Aldrige S - Kelly CB - McGriff OC/RB - Nix QB - Kent Austin WR - Marcus Davis OL - Jake T TE - Ben A Bold are the Open positions

You don't resign from an 800k job with a buyout gor nothing. Hopefully it's not too big of a deal and he can be fine in his career and life. Hate it for him, he was one of my favorite all time guys and essentially my entire college career. Guy loves Auburn.

Derrick Nix from Ole Miss
