mcgufcm 4,107 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I wasn't aware he was ever on the list. Good hire for UK if it's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootskii 264 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 wow Kentucky did well for their hire. I wonder who Tenn and Arky get. Everyone keeps saying Gruden but that man isn't leaving that cushy job he has right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEAugirl 9,635 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Supposed to be announced this afternoon. If true, good choice for UK. And we don't have to compete with them anymore over available coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDob06 443 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Not to change topics, but do you think this makes Jimbo Fisher less attractive now? I kind of do (I was actually never sold on him in the first place). One of the things that was good about Jimbo was his staff. If his DC is a head coach at KY now, he won't be on the AU sidelines. I know I am going to get flamed or someone is going to say, "how could he be bad if his assistants are getting hired for HC gigs." A valid point. But all I'm saying is that the Jimbo Fisher hire isn't as appealing if Mark Stoops doesn't come with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the least concerned with Stoops because he was bound to get a HC gig sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAub 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I hope that if Mark Stoops name was on the list, that it was on the bottom of the second page of the list and that we'd not be so desperate to get that far down the list. Then again, 5 & 19 got hired last time, so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty evident Stoops would be up for HC jobs this year. Funny side note....Jimbo has publically come out and DENIED DENIED DENIED that UK was talking to Stoops. He also has DENIED that he has talked to Auburn. It is also rumored that Stoops is going to take FSU's OC James Coley with him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,416 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 If everyone wanted fisher because of his assistants then he should not be considered for auburn. The HC needs to stand on his own. Today's further mentions of Peterson and Paterson in addition to bob stoops, petrino and others are the dynamic leaders we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I have heard many times that Jimbo's assistants weren't that fond of him, and if the above is true, it would support what I have heard. The DC gets a head-coaching gig, and takes the OC with him. May end up taking more than that before it's all said and done. I wasn't ever that fond of Jimbo for our next coach, and this just makes me feel that much less fond of him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBourne 425 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Seems like Stoops would have had a great shot to take over FSU if Jimbo was leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURandy56 148 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I wonder if this might mean that Jimbo is not leaving FSU. One would have to think that Mark Stoops would be a leading candidate to take that job. At least this takes Kentucky out of the running for Bobby Petrino, who is my choice for the AU job.
