gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Chad Morris is one of the best offensive coordinators in the country and the search committee is doing their due diligence. An interview does not equal a hire. True. He learned everything he knows from Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displ8stAUTiger 4 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hold on gentlemen....this is merely Gus lining up his OC. You will soon see Malzahn being introduced as the HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaric 4 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hold on gentlemen....this is merely Gus lining up his OC. You will soon see Malzahn being introduced as the HC.

Barkchevious 75 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I guess not bad to interview. To do a thorough hiring process you need to look at a couple of offensive guys and defensive guys and see who gives you the best "feeling". You also have to listen on what their "plan" is for taking us to the top. I agree, a little. Doesn't hurt to interview someone. My problem with it is- I get the feeling it doesn't take much to impress JJ. What if Morris shows up to his interview and brings donuts and coffee for JJ and his crew, then proceeds to use a few big words that are outside of JJ's comprehension level? Then JJ says, "President Gouge, I am completely confident that this is the man for the job! And Dr. Gouge, by the way, what does 'delineate' mean?' JJ is going to jack this up somehow.

dcafd4au 0 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Gus might hust be happy where he's at. This! We keep debating on whether or not we want Gus but I haven't seen anything to show me that CGM even wants to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthyfan 124 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Huh. I tell you one thing: If Chad Morris is getting an interview, then how is Gus not more qualified? Then again, how many points do you deduct for Kristi? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdp5150 167 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If this is the case then it can only mean the interviews with established HC resulted in them turning us down. No way we interview him if we have the possibility to hire a Peterson, Fisher or Patterson. Also there is no way a HC committee would interview for Gus's OC. No way. Looks like a case of the Monday's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDob06 443 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It could also mean that we aren't going after anyone who is that big-time. I am not on a search committee, but I know when we interview people at my job that have very similar backgrounds and qualifications, it becomes hard to decide on who to hire. I wonder if the search committee is having a hard time narrowing down a HC based on all of the coordinators they are interviewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEAugirl 9,635 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I am absolutely convinced these crappy names are being floated so when they hire Petrino or Malzahn everyone gives a big ol' sigh of relief..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
api1957 1,783 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 These are just interviews. Relax. I've done a number of interviews. You don't hire the first guy you like (right away). You compare each interview to your favorite just to see if anyone wows you more. It is called being thorough. IF Chad Morris gets a HC gig elsewhere and go to BCS bowls in 5 years wouldn't you as a search committee be kicking yourself? Especially if you had that guy on your list and you didn't interview him because you jumped at the first guy. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Chad Morris appears to be a competent OC but I prefer Auburn not be his proving ground as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsontiger98 9 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The more I think about it................smokescreen to throw off the trail. God I hope so. But haven't we wasted enough time already? Well, technically it's only been a week. We knew that most interviews would not happen until after the season which was this past Saturday. Interviews started hot and heavy yesterday. Patience grasshopper. Patience. Hot and heavy? Is this a Petrino joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger1992 999 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Chad Morris appears to be a competent OC but I prefer Auburn not be his proving ground as HC. Which is also why I don't want Malzahn. Auburn would essentialy be GM's proving ground as well. I don't think one year in the Sun Belt is enough to prove anything.

Tiger4life25 74 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If this is the type we are looking for then we are in the bottom section of the SEC with the likes of Vandy, Kentucky, and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyeCampAlum 335 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not a fan of Morris, but come on. Auburn is "too good" to hire a coordinator? You mean, like Chip Kelly? Mark Richt? Boom Muschamp? David Shaw? That, friends, is a silly argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUHEARDOC 0 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I hope he is a fall back incase we don't get our first choices. I would be a little underwhelmed if we are really pushing for Chad Morris. He is a good OC, I just don't want AU to be a proving ground for another inexperienced HC. There have been some great coordinators go on to be great HCs, but there have also been some to never have success as an HC. In the current situation, and playing inour conference and division, I would just hate to see us gamble. If we get burned, it could be 3-4 more years of less than .500 teams.

taylojo 0 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I doubt Chad is up for the challenge. If he's not, it could be a career killer for him. Too much risk for him, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Muschamp? David Shaw? That, friends, is a silly argument. We are at a time that hiring a PROVEN HEAD COACH is crucial, this is no time to be experimenting with maybes. We miss and the likelihood is good that we would then be left in the dust of the TOP SEC which we are already looking at their hind-side. We need to do what some others have done like Arky(BP), S Carolina and uat, I see your point but timing is important on what type of hire you need too.
