Bones4AU 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Odom is intriguing. Clark has done a remarkable job at his last 2 stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

younggun 14 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Coach Klein-DC and LB coach ; Coach Jimmy McGinty- demands 100% effort ; Coach Molly McGrath-high school experience only but runs a good program ; Coach Veneer-DC and ST coach, did wonders at his last stop.

lutzintheredzone 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Tyson Summers from UCF he also coaches linebackers. Id hire him for linebackers. I think UCF has had Top 10 defense last 3 years. Last night they said no 4.He got wins over Baylor,Miss St,Penn St out of conf gave South Carolina and Missouri fits.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 David (honk if you sacked Brodie) Gibbs Thank you. Not sure if he's at the top of my list, but I wouldn't be mad at all. Not sure why so many Auburn fans misremember his 2005 defense as a bad one. The 2005 defense was just as good as Muschamp's on average: Gibbs '05- 15.5 PPG, gave up 23 to Tech, 20 to LSU, 27 to UK, 30 to UGA and 24 to Wisconsin in the bowl game (which I'm not sure if he was coaching for) Muschamp '06- 13.9 PPG, gave up 27 to Arkansas and 37 to UGA Muschamp '07- 16.9 PPG, gave up 26 to USF, 30 to LSU and 45 to UGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeagleTheBeagle 60 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Venables, Durkin, and... Not popular but I like Manny Diaz. Just looked at some numbers... La Tech (from 2013 to 2014) - Total D = #70 to #30 - Rush D = #96 to #15 - TFL = #69 to #6 - Sacks = #73 to #32 - Scoring D (in Conference) = 26.6PPG to 19.9PPG He can definitely coach. I think he just got caught up in a bad situation at Texas. He's a master of the blitz too...makes for some exciting defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,527 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Pelini and Shannon are a toss up for a decent plan B then Aranda fwiw, some of the guys we're apparently seriously considering...like Odom and Clark...are way, WAY not ready for the SEC West. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutzintheredzone 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I will take the UCF guy since im from Orlando. Like Jesse Palmer said last night their not highly rated but they're fundamently sound. Diaz got blasted by the big schools at La Tech,Texas,Miss St. He corraled Cam ,but we didnt know what to do with him till South Carolina that year.UCF won are barely lost, to big name teams unders Summers. If we bring back a former coach other than Muschamp it would be Rhoades if that how its spelled. Not his fault for Tony Franklin. Bo Pelini seems like a full of himself jerk. What is Jim Levitt doing, he did wonders with USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 8,359 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 You forgot former Heisman winner Kevin O'Shea from Urbania. We are dead in the water should a team run the Annexation of Puerto Rico. His brother might be a better option despite his short resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meh130 888 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Any of these three young, up and coming FBS DCs: D.J. Durkin - Florida Tyson Summers - UCF Barry Odom - Memphis I like Durkin the best, because he has already coached and recruited in the SEC. Summers had a bad fourth quarter last night, but UCF has had an incredible year defensively. He also has a history of coaching in Alabama and Georgia, so he probably is better suited for Auburn's primary recruiting ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has a history of coaching in Alabama and Georgia, so he probably is better suited for Auburn's primary recruiting ground. This is a thought process I haven't seen enough (and haven't expressed myself enough either). I'm a former coach, so I certainly understand the importance of scheme, teaching the players to execute, and motivating players. But, I also subscribe to the "It's not the X's and O's, it's the Jimmies & Joes" philosophy. It doesn't matter if a team runs a base 4-3, 3-4, or 4-2-5: If the talent isn't there, it's very difficult to be successful.There are plenty of coaches that win games largely because their team is more talented than their opponents and not because they are X's and O's wizards or master motivators. Finding a DC that is a quality recruiter and is familiar with the areas in which the Tigers recruit is just as important (if not more) than the scheme the coach will bring in.
