RunInRed 16,407 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I've been told there's mutual interest between Malzahn and Muschamp. Would be a formidable pair on respective sides of ball.@TravHaneyESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war eagle6 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If im not mistaken, cooper had over 200 yards against fla this year. So, is that the coach or the players? Yep, but u left out that the defense scored 2tds in that game. With our offense, that game gets ugly by halftime! And the toothless ones start exiting the stadium in a hurry Some guys are almost unstoppable. Cooper is one of them. He is, but Bama did put 672 yards on Florida. They had far more stops on d than we did and they were worn down. Guarantee u if our offense was paired with that d, it would have been a BLOWOUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I hate it for Ellis Johnson. I understand the reasons and I am sure the PTB had everything to do with it. He is a good man and was probably going to coach for just a year more. Early retirement for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausburn 159 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 http://coachingsearc...g-search-ticker Auburn: According to Auburn Undercover, defensive coordinator / linebackers coach Ellis Johnson has been dismissed. According to AL.com, the school will owe Johnson nearly $2.2 million. Two names to keep an eye on are former Florida head coach Will Muschamp and Memphis defensive coordinator / safeties coach Barry Odom. Keep track of open FBS assistant jobs here.

TheBlueVue 177 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 No doubt a change had to be made but, I too, liked EJ. Despite the defense being awful, he seemed like a stand up guy and would usually answer a question without ducking it with aggravating coach speak. Hate it for him but dude's got plenty of money. He can do whatever he wants to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the PTB were behind this. This was all Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just my opinion, but I think Gus did a good job coming in and hiring a group of older, well respected coaches and they did a good job getting these guy's confidence back. Problem is that this older group may be falling behind times a little, especially with the HUNH offenses. I think the last straw for Gus was CEJ's decision to cover Cooper one on one. He said it before the game but I did not think he would follow through, but he did. While we had more passing yards than them, it was hard earned. Our guys were making catches under tight coverage. Cooper on the other hand was usually wide open with several yards of separation. I think we have talent and did better against the run, the passing defense went farther south this year over last. I think CEJ's decision last night cost him the immediate decision. Gus does not want to call the defense but he will hold his DC responsible for the outcome. While there may be some truth to the fact that the offense should have scored 70 instead of 44, that is a far cry from a defense that allows 55 points. Gus is doing what he should, CEJ is a good man and he knows that he has not met expectations. That's why they get paid big money. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchyfish 67 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Let's get Muschamp, Shannon, and Rocker to be tri-co-defensive coordinators!!!! War Eagle!!! Recruiting dream team LOL Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigman334 56 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 why are we so high on Muschamp? i for one hate the jerky sideline attitude. thats a trainwreck waiting to happen on live tv.. i've seen several hate the guy on the other side of the state for that attitude but muschamp is much worse. he looks like an idiot at times. i dont know if that image is worth it.
