A former player from the Bowden days is interested in the job but no word if AU is interested in him. He has bounced around a lot, especially the past 5 years, and none of them really look to be quality stops. Wasn't really worth putting in a "What We Are Hearing" column IMO.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I hope we never ever hire James Willis again. Do y'all remember when Saban offered James to be UAT's LB coach? He took the offer and left Auburn after only being on AU's staff a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I kinda thought Gus would have hired a new DB coach by now. He said he wasn't going to hire anyone until Sugar bowl was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we're waiting until after the championship game to announce the hiring of Derrick Ansley. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoundationEagle 637 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm guessing it's or really hard to find a good coach to come in knowing there's a 75 percent or higher chance he won't have a job after next season. Our offense is a joke ran by a clown and our defense has been exposed and is losing a good portion of the guys that made it good to begin with. No way in hades Id lay my future at the feet of Gus. I'd bet most coaches feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally have talent at every position and the depth we need to not fear injuries. I doubt any coach is afraid to come to Auburn for fear of being one and done.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 "We finally have talent at every position and the depth we need to not fear injuries." Are you joking? We have talent but not at every position. We better fear injuries -- just look at this years. We didn't have a better QB when Sean went down twice. And when Kam Pettway missed some games, Kerryon tried to carry this team cause we didn't have anyone who was a strong #2 RB. He tried to carry this on his back but he couldn't.

They see money, SEC, loads of talent, etc. They also know that if they excel at their job, they could be kept on even if there is a change. Example: Dameyune Craig I think the real story is that @bigbird is holding out for more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any coach is afraid to come to Auburn for fear of being one and done. I agree with this post. Gus has recruited plenty of talent. He just has problems coaching said talent. A good HC would love to coach this team. After three years a good head coach would have the team going in the right direction. However; while Gus is simply not a good HC (Gus caught lightning in a bottle in 2013 just like Chizik caught lightning in a bottle in 2010 and has been average since); our biggest problem is not Gus, it is the AD. Our AD lacks the ability to go after and ultimately hire that good HC that would love to coach our football team. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year we have Stidham, Sean and maybe Woody at QB. At RB we KP. KJ. Malik Miller and a couple of freshman coming in. Lionheartkc is right we are better off on depth this coming year then the year that just ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope... dead serious... QB: Stidham, White, Barrett, Potentially Queen and Willis. Should only need Stidham and maybe White RB: Pettway, Johnson (uninjured, which is why he couldn't carry the team at the end of the season), Miller, Barrett, and potentially Matthews WR: The whole stable of sophomore WR phenoms TE: Cannella and Harris OL: 3 solid returners and several ready to step up, plus maybe Ashley out of the blocks LB: Finally a full stable of talent DL: The next round of rock stars lead buy Davidson, Brown, and Cowart. DB: Three returning leaders and several guys who stepped up this year and are ready to improve next year K:Carlson X2 We're loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
