I am saying winning cures all. Quote the creed guys or accept the reality. Winning is everything and until AU has that mindset there will be these type of games , seasons, and continued coaching get carousel. I know it's sucks. What's high horse about stating the truth? What Petrino did was not some minor thing. He put his employer in a very precarious and extremely embarassing position. That shows who he is. Sometimes it's bigger than a game.

MaxP 137 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Says the guy even considering Briles? At least what Petrino was involved in was consensual. I sincerely hope you aren't actually a preacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take average with character every day and twice on Sundays over selling out morals to win a damn football game. Integrity is everything. There are more important things in life than football. When AU starts becoming a win at all costs program like the turds, that's the day I stop cheering. Oh please dont stop cheering. You being a fan means the world to me.

He & Duke Williams should have set records together. Jeremy Johnson is one of the most physically gifted QB's Auburn has EVER had. Then, he could not convince either offensive tackle to stay for their final year of eligibility. As a result, we down graded at both tackle positions and the Center position after we were forced to move our center to LT. These issues are all compounded by the fact that we were unable to sign 5* OT Martez Ivey even though he was living with our Chandler Cox's family. Then we signed Tyler Queen instead of Lamar Jackson. Let that sink in all night... Could've had both but we choose not to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A head coach of a major sport is an important image reflecting the culture of the school. Petrino would suggest "this is a school where we only care about getting ahead no matter the cost." If you want to pull for a school with that mentality, try that other school in Tuscaloosa. Or Louisville? We give student athletes second chances, bball coaches second chances.?. We will stay irrelevant with coaches like CGC and CGM I want to say a lot but it's not my character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Jacobs used a committee including Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan to evaluate available coaches and they signed off on Gus. I have no problem with the hiring but once you hire them you have to give them marching orders and you have to hold them to it. You do that by the contract. The BOT unfortunately just sign off on what JJ writes. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. AU is a dumpster fire and is not an attractive program at all right now. All we're going to get is some retread HC that has been around the block a time or two. We are not going to get an ace HC like a Petrino. Not now. Not with our recent history and not with Saban at UAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Briles clearly shows he wasn't aware of what went down at Baylor and then apologize for not being better aware i don't see how the fanbase takes him in. IDK....maybe they'll surprise us and welcome him in. Petrino just isn't going to happen. Neither is Herman unless they don't get into the Big 12. We all love AU and it's one of the greatest places but at the moment i don't think the top coaches see it as a top 3 or 5 place to go. We def. need to be coming up with some names though. I don't even think looking at the Texas HCs is a good place to start rn. As I've stated a couple of times. I think Briles would be a good hire for on the field production but I doubt it happens. im fine with us not even approaching Hermen unless it's at a time later than the end of this season. i think with the known family atmosphere that auburn has and the amazing recruiting that has been going on here, a coach would view it as a top tier job. Maybe not a top 5 job overall but you're talking about the one team that has more of a chance than anyone else to bring about the end of the Saban era, national tv pretty much every week, has reached the national championship game twice in the past 8 years (who else has done that besides Bama/Saban?...maybe someone I honestly don't know) etc etc. coaches know auburn can be just as big of a pedestal as anywhere else. the problem will be the fact that it we ditch Gus, we're still gonna be paying him a lot too. and will the ad or whoever tf he chooses as a "selection committe" go with hire that will bring us the most wins or the hire that will bring us the most class while still keeping us relevant some years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
