AU can get a good qb with a good oc/qb coach If Lashlee leaves, it will probably be too late for Stidham's choice. And Gus just loves to take his time waiting to hire someone that could attract recruits at the end of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year when Gus Waited until after the bowl game to introduce Steele... I wasn't saying he takes a long time to announce things (other than starting QBs). I was making the point that if Stidham wants to enroll in January, he will announce early to mid December most likely and since we appear to back on the way to a bowl game that will be played Dec31 or Jan1, I am just assuming we won't hear anything about an OC until then. So we will most likely miss getting the chance to woo Stidham with a new OC. That's all I was trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylor will be cleaning house but likely after a bowl game and most likely if KB is able to land an OC job....anywhere.. it will not be known immediately and odds of him going to TAMU is about zero. I am beginning to think the premise that Stidham will follow KB somewhere is losing credibility if he wants to enroll in January. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,833 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I saw this mentioned on Saturday and this is now my pipe dream: Kliff Kingsbury gets fired from Texas Tech, Gus pulls him out of Texas to be our OC when Rhett moves on and CKK improves our passing concepts dramatically and at the same time sells a fellow Texas boy in JS in leaving the state to come to AU Edited November 21, 2016 by Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different philosophies that are too different to be compatible I'm inclined to agree, but dual-threat Manziel had the best season of his career with Kingsbury. And I believe they led the SEC in passing, rushing and scoring. They haven't finished any better than 9-4 since he left. WDE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Muschamp, he might leave for the first opportunity. I do however, think CKK could help gus with his passing game and gus could teach CKK a power running game. IT could just be a perfect match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I personally (which doesnt mean much) don't see CKK as some hot commodity for a HC job. I don't think anyone except TTU was after him as HC and that was only because TTU needed to bring back the Mike Leach vibes and he was the on-field face of that era for TTU. I could definitely be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would def convince Stidham's girl tho haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we'll have to concoct a new hail mary plan then. How can I convince my employer to pay me a truckload to stop working for them?

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) If Lashlee is removed, I think Gus will move fast so he will be able sign Stidham before someone else does.

aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 So long as we're talking pipe dreams, either Morris or Freeze would be perfect OC for Gus. Neither likely to happen - just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTCOMPANY 394 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 From what I've read on here, this has been known for a while. Hopefully Gus has a 1b, 1c in line, since KBriles is probably a no at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
