DWWD34 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Can't please everyone. Not saying dude is Malzahn 2.0... But geeze it's not like he's even really had a chance to showcase his material. Regardless, if you think CGC made a hire detrimental to AU and did not explore all options.. Well you just haven't been paying attention the last few years. War Eagle and welcome home Loeffler!

bootskii 264 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Some of you guys sound like the nay sayers when Coach Chizik was hired. The guy has a great back ground. Tutored under Lloyd Carr and coached for Meyer. Both are great head coaches and have won multiple NC. I say give the guy a chance. I am just curious what type of offense he runs and what sort of recruiter he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU-HANDLEY-TIGER 205 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I love Auburn and would play for them no matter who the coach was, but kids that have no attachment need something to excite them- THIS AIN'T IT GUYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairAthlete7 21 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Not that have now or ever will have any input on the hiring of Auburn coaches, but I'm not overly impressed. The only think I can think of is, "I hope he didn't teach Tebow that horrific throwing mechanic." Tebow's throwing motion has been like that since he started playing the game. NFL teams can't even fix it. I wouldn't put that on Loeffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA 1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think a lot of these posts fit in the " do not talk bad about" category. Time for the delete button The man hasn't even stepped foot on campus yet. I think I will wait on his results before I pass judgement. Some pitiful showing of support by a lot of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyb147 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 1. Temple literally rushed for twice as many yards as they threw this year. QB trouble and so forth. Can't say I like that. That's because Temple didn't have a true QB on the roster. They have a bunch of athletes that they throw the QB label on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jojo1515 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 JMO which means nothing....Outside of Kerwin Bell, this was, to me, the worst name out there as a possible OC. I will support CSL 100% but I will expect at best a tie with this past season on offense for the next few years until he shows me something better. 116th in the NCAA in passing....that should be plan Z, not plan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnCHE01 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 While I'm excited about the hire, I'll take the wait and see approach. Gotta give the guy a chance. I trust Coach Chiz with the hire. One thing is for sure, Clemson will not know what's coming! Welcome to the Plains coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc14au 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I hope all this negative talk does not stick with the players ............I think the mods need to get involved and scratch some of these commits ....yes I know you can't please everyone but everyone that looks/post on here should welcome our new OVC.

bigbird 60,603 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Loeffler's Owls offense finished seventh in the nation in rush yards per game (256.4), 39th in scoring offense (30.6 points per game), 63rd in yards per game (383.2) and 116th in pass yards per game (126.8), as the team posted a 9-4 record. Imagine what he will be able to do with the talent we've brought in. This is a very good hire, some of you that are disappointed need to give the man a chance before you impugn his abilities.

NoALtiger 3,873 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I agree with what a lot of others have said regarding the strange timing. After all this time has passed, I wouldn't have guessed this would be the hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcrosson 203 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think it's a bit absurd for people to come on a message board and act like Auburn fans aren't being supportive just because they're using this forum to communicate mutual feelings (that are obviously shared by many) concerning this hire that aren't the most positive. Seriously? Most everything I've read has gone something like, "I'm not thrilled with this hire and I don't understand why we waited so long, but I hope it works out and he turns out to be good." How is that out of line? How is that unsupportive? I'm sure that there's not a single Auburn man or woman on this board that is thinking, "Oh, well to hell with Auburn now that they hired CSL" or "screw the offense, I'm not supporting them!"

Ronin 2 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Timing is weird but I like the hire. Unlike some of the earlier posters, he was one of the prospects that I was most excited about. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandelay 5 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 “Scot is a rising star who has worked with some very good quarterbacks, and has achieved a tremendous amount of success,†Chizik said. “He is a tireless worker, is an outstanding recruiter and knows the rigors of competing in this conference.†Read more here: http://www.wareagleextra.com/#storylink=cpy We're going to need an outstanding recruiter to work some magic down the stretch!

gottl49129 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Don't judge this on 'name' value. You all would have hired Turner Gill. Will his offense perform well, and will Auburn win games? Based on what I am reading, I love this. He seems to be able to adjust to his personnel, and those who know him have great respect for his ability. When has Temple ever been relevant in football? I think this combination is going to be really good. Hopefully he's a lights-out recruiter too because there are some great kids out there who haven't decided yet. Let's see what happens when they get to meet him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegle777 78 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 When did we hear the disappointment about a coach being hired before? I think it was our HC. How did that turn out? Oh yeah, a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. I will withhold judgement until the guy is given time to work his plan. Welcome Coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUQBDad 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I love Auburn and would play for them no matter who the coach was, but kids that have no attachment need something to excite them- THIS AIN'T IT GUYS. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS A LOT OF THE SR PLAYERS IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT ARE HIGHLY RANKED ALREADY KNOW THIS GUY...ALMOST ALL THE FRESHMAN DO INCLUDING KIEHL...HE CAME TO SPRINGDALE TO VISIT US RECRUITING FOR FLORIDA.

au_weagle 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Here's the thing. It sounds like Loeffler was begging to get out of Temple. They were forcing him to run an offense he didn't want, and even though he's this passing guru, his team was 116th in passing mainly because they were without QB's. So when an SEC team comes calling there is no way he wouldn't accept immediately. So. There's no way we didn't miss on our first guy. This simply took too long. Having said that, 116th in passing sounds a lot like 5-19. So Im gonna take the wait and see approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
