TitanTiger 20,486 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just got a message on my phone that Nebraska has fired Pelini. If a change at DC is made, why not look at him as well? Because he's a complete douchebag. And a whinyass to boot. He was as a head coach. As a DC I don't recall him being a problem. You think a character trait changes based on one's job title? If he had been a problem when he was a coordinator, Miles would have canned his butt. Maybe they hid it well, I don't know but I don't recall any problems with him while he was an asst. coach. I'm not saying he is necessarily the guy AU should hire in the event they do move on but it's at least worth consideration. The link I provided included time where he was a coordinator. And I still don't see where merely going back to a coordinator slot would cause someone to stop being an ass. It's fine if you want to consider him. But you said he made more sense than Muschamp. I don't see that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,785 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I just hope Ellis will do the honorable thing and resign. He has to know the direction he is heading is not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,486 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Seriously, Bo Pelini will not be coming to Auburn. He'll likely be hired somewhere as a defensive coordinator if he wants to work next year. I don't think he'll be at Auburn either, but it wouldn't be because Auburn is beneath him.

The main reason I said that was that with the history of Muschamp already being there and the circumstances of his leaving it would seem more likely that if it came down to those two then Bo would be more likely.

lala 327 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 His ego is too big for that kind of step back. On the other hand I think Will's ego took a hit and he is trying to figure his place and would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any issues with CWM from the past could be worked out just fine. And I do believe he otherwise enjoyed his time here both as a GA and as DC. Pelini has zero history here and is way more of a loose cannon than CWM has ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand I think Will's ego took a hit and he is trying to figure his place and would be good If he wants to coach that's what he's going to have to do. He's not going to get a HC job anywhere. The next coach at Michigan might want him to be the DC there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarcara 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 All we have to be on defense is average. 20 ppg, 350 ypg. This should be one of the most attractive DC jobs in the nation because of how great the offense is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Chiz coming back to work under Gus. None of the others have any experience being a DC at any level. Don't see Mich st. dc leaving. Doubt Moo state or Ole Miss unless Mullen or Freeze go to Florida. Even then they'd just take their staff with them unless the coordinator were to be elevated to HC.

I'm not entirely convinced that a change is coming, at least at the coordinator level. A position coach or two may get the axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerrules 517 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Auburn has a decision to make;1)hire a young but recognized, very bright defensive mind who we think is the next "elite" defensive coach or 2) hire an established, tried-and-true defensive coach that will cost big bucks, but little risk. I expect Auburn to choose option 2, but for those that follow more closely who would be the candidates for a young coach on the rise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
