Who was the senior athletics director for compliance before this guy?

Per Al.com auburn just hired a “senior athletics director for compliance”. Rich McGlynn will be the next AD. Worst possible outcome.

To me it’s simple: Option A - Mark Stoops - two 10 wins season, recruiting, connections, turning UK into a football school. Option B - Kiffen and Freeze - who is their defensive coordinator option C - everyone else

I don’t understand why guys like Jeremiah Wright do not get opportunities. 4 star recruit by some services. Yes, the moving back and forth hasn’t helped but heck the guy has physical ability. At this point, why does Caden Smith not get some reps? just my thoughts.

Start TJ, and use RA Strategically. Mainly not after a successful pass down field. I spend most of the games watching the offense/defensive fronts and even I questioned taking TJ out after a successful play.

We have got to make it to 4th quarter their d is already putting hands in hips

That’s a great point. It’s has gotten so much harder to simply “stop the run” with these spread offenses. Ever play is basically 4 plays in one. You have any kind of run game with the QB read off of that. You also have teams running a bubble screen to one side of the field and quick game to the other side. It’s a numbers battle that the offense has an advantage unless you have a defensive line that can disrupt.

Colby Wooden playing inside (1" & 3") would be my plan to collapse the pocket and a lot of Jayson Jones. At 6'6 he can get in passing lanes very easily.

A lot of different things can be done in coverage, but a lot Saturday will come down to D-Line play. #1 Stop the run #2 Defensive Lineman can effect a quick passing game in a couple ways. First and foremost is interior guys getting pressure in the QB's face and getting him off his most comfortable spot in the pocket. On plays they are not able to get penetration they need to get their eyes and hands up to deflect short passes. Outside rushers and guys coming with pressure need the interior guys to force the QB off his sport in order to give them a extra second to second in a half to get sacks.

If that’s the case then I am frustrated to the core. Auburn will always be handicapped in recruiting.

That’s a great point. I just know rich McGlynn getting anymore power is bad for auburn. Also not good for the next AD trying to come in and hit the ground running.

Auburn is required to compete with other schools for recruits with compliance departments that are not worried about making themself famous. Rich is more worried about telling students working for the athletic department they can’t give a player a pencil in class than helping auburn be competitive.

Could not be any worse news

South Carolina listed him as a TE 6-5 212

Any chance we look at Eric Shaw? South Caroline transfer WR, from Notasulga. We could use a big bodied WR. 6-4

Kessler is not right with the shoulder tonight. Up 12 I would sit him and get stretch some minutes. We can’t risk him hurting it worse.

Guys - Auburn, UK, Ark, UT - top 4 teams in SEC. Neither of the 4 have beat the other top 4 on the road. I’m concerned but we are okay. We also have played competitive basketball every game. UT and UK have blow each other out at home.

Its not an assumption. He posted on twitter about a team that he no longer plays for. He needs to worry about UCF.

I put a lot more stake in comments from guys like hall and wooten compared to former players that transferred out. You cant build football teams around guys that do not want to be coached. We live in a soft generation. Harsin has a lot to prove in terms of offensive line play, but I want a tough smashmouth football team. I want tough players, not cry babies that run to twitter when a coach chews them out and holds them accountable.

Is it just me our have we brought in more DB’s than can actually see the field? I understand injuries and the age of spread offenses. Did our staff have concerns about the position after spring ball. Interested to know if anyone has some insight. I support the coaching staff and who they recruit/ target in portal.

I think it had a lot to do with playing too many snaps. Truesdell and Fair would be great for each other.

Would be a huge get. True NT size. Looks a lot like Jeremiah Wright with more D-1 experience. As mentioned above a true NT would free up some much for other guys up front, think of Colby Wooden and Derick Hall being single blocked.

I hope your right. Sick of seeing talented guys transfer.

Just sent to Denver in 6th round.

Other postered said it could be academic or behavior. My point was we have to stop losing players we sign. Period. I don’t care what the reason is.
