aubiefifty 16,823 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 who do you guys think is the best coach on the auburn staff and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Herb Hand. Dude knows his stuff and really connects with the OL. Gus seems to trust him. I think it's probably the best coaching hire in 10 years. Plus he can cook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUIH1 1,515 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hand is a good choice on O. Horton is also very good. Our RBs have been good to very good under Horton. On D, I am going with T Williams based on potential both on and off of the field. The D staff under Muschamp was very good with T-Rob, Thompson and of course Muschamp himself. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyAU 3,634 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Can't say they are the best yet, but I am excited to see what Hand, McGriff, T.Will and Burns bring forward this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Garner proves to be at least an above average DL coach on the field at AU then I will think about giving Garner props as an on the field coach. Garner did recruit lights out in this past recruiting class and I gave him credit for it. I want a legit on the field coach (better than average) to coach our DL. Hopefully Garner will prove me wrong this season since he has so much talent to work with. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austudnt23 1,432 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Horton is our best assistant on the staff. Mcgriff on D. Garner best recruiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Almost as absurd as almost completely discounting CRG as a coach which he seems to have done many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesWeCam 1 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Horton - the guy has consistently produced RBs year in and year out regardless of who they are. I doubt Barber or CAP get the numbers they did under any other coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not about to label any wet-behind-the-ears coach as the "best on AU's staff" until they've been coaching in the SEC for a while and proven themselves. The SEC West if a rough neighborhood and I'm too skeptical of this coaching staff right now to tag any one of them as the best on the staff. Our entire coaching unit has a LOT to prove this season and that starts with the head man in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said nor implied an opinion of any coach as best on staff. To be blunt, I think it's a dumb topic in the first place. What I said was the opinion of T-Will being considered as one of the best in year 1 is almost as absurd as nearly completely discounting CRG as a coach like AUH1 has done many, many times.

I don't completely discount CRG as a coach. I consider him to be an average at best on the field DL coach and a very, very good recruiter when motivated. Now, Mike Pelton is one coach who I completely discounted as a coach and recruiter. So compared to Pelton, CRG is an improvement. Again, CRG has a stacked deck at DL this season and if the DL plays up to potential/well all year, I have no problem giving him credit for it. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies elli - I just jumped in to post and hit the quote button.....My post was just a random thought. I do however agree with you.....the topic is dumb as we overhauled nearly half the coaching staff and have no clue how some of these coaches will produce in the SEC West.
