Radio discussion…

It was an SEC decision not to use them due to safety reasons.  The technology hasn’t been vetted for player safety.  
 

Can everyone please now shut the frick up about that?  
 

That is not the issue with this game.  

Nope, I will continue to talk about it because it was a completely ignorant decision. Who at the SEC made the decision and why? What was their reserach based on? Why did SEC head coaches not have more input on that if that is true? Considering the NFL has been using it for years the decision is completely stupid. Is that the sole reason we are losing? No. But you cannot say it is not one of the reasons we are getting drilled right now either.

So dumb to not utilize the helmet speaker technology. So freaking dumb.

 

IT DOESN'T TURN OFF

Totally agree. I don't understand this decision either. GIven the fact that it never is turned off, unlike the NFL, I cannot see a reason to not use it, especially knowing the other team is choosing to do so, thus given them an obvious advantage over our defense.

I have heard that the former AD at R.A. Hubbard High School has been contacted.

Bill Clark was in too much pain to coach at UAB so I’m sure he’s too hurt for Auburn.  

Hearing that situation has been fixed for the most part. At least not near as bad as it was when it basically forced him to stop. Regardless, I think he is just a name being thrown around due to the info that his back is better plus he is the homegrown candidate. I assume there are several names ahead of him. 

Bill Clark's name being thrown around with Freeze, Sanders, Kiffin, and Rhule. Apparently he has been able to get in a much better place with this back problems and is talking about getting back into coaching. 

I am of the opinion that before we hire a new AD, the PTB would get rid of Harsin first. Do we want our brand new AD's first major act to be firing our football HC? Kind of gets them started with something negative. Makes more sense for his first big thing to be hiring the new coach, not firing the old one first. Just my opinion on how that should be handled.

The delay has jacked up our rhythm. Combined with our comfortable, maybe too comfortable, lead to start the day, it is making me a bit nervous. 

Streaming on ESPN+/Hulu. No ESPN/2/U/News or SECN coverage. 

Any word on a new start time? I am streaming the Squeeze Play broadcast right now hoping to hear something. 

Coach Harsin could give no guarantees to Nix about next year and is actively recruiting JUCO transfers. That is tough for a 3 year starter to swallow coming into his senior season, especially for a legacy guy like Nix. 

Not really a specific band, but I have been on a specific genre kick lately. I am a classic rock guy for the most part, but lately my radio has been staying on Sirius/XM's Prime Country (80s & 90s) with a smattering of Outlaw Country thrown in for good measure. I have no clue what got me started except maybe my subconscious is longing for something else from my teenage and early 20s years.

Shula is not a good/winning coach anywhere he has been, which made his hire even more confusing. If have to disagree with him not having talent. He has a butt-load of talent on that team. He just can't control them and he can't coach him. Problem I hear, and David can back this up, is that Shula is in too much control and does not give his coaching staff the support they need.

I have a very good source connected to the program. Shula has shut off programs that was their for support and guidance to the players. These programs have been there for years.

Let the crumbling begin.

Who can UAT get? They will never be able to bring on the top, proven coaches. It will have to be somebody from a lesser program. Bobby Johnson would be a good candidate. Would Nutt leave Arky? Who in the pros would come back to the college level? Is there anybody decent that is willing to saddle that horse?
