auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Why not bring in Art Briles as OC? that's a smarter move than giving the OC job to an OL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Why not go ahead and throw $1,500,000 at Lincoln Riley to jump off of the Sooner schooner and come over the plains? Give him a guaranteed 3 year contract and let Rhett carry his clipboard and give advice when asked for. Just a thought or lack of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck I may have taken too much from the theory that he could be the biggest mover in the offense by me leaping to him may not be coaching QBs.

It just proved Clemson got hot at the right time. There were weeks earlier in the season tOSU would have beaten Clemson black & blue given how the teams played in certain weeks. E, you may be 100% correct but you can insert any top tier team's name in this statement and it be true. To say OSU would have beaten Clemson is just as incorrect. They may have played better in said week but had they played each other Clemson may have performed better. There's no crystal balls and that's why it should be settled on the field. Maybe this will drive a 6 or 8 team playoff eventually. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,658 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 It's not rumor, it's speculation and "what if" scenarios that people love to ponder. If Hand were to move to OC, who would help get the OL ready to play?...we'd need a pretty talented GA to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 If Rhett is still the QB coach I believe that some of the PTB will be grabbing pitch forks, unless Rhett spends months training under a qualified QB coach to learn how to teach fundamentals of the QB position, such as footwork.

How do you know that Rhett isn't an outstanding QB coach. until this season it appears he has just been a yes man and hasn't had the opportunity to put his spin on it. Go look at his year at samford. avg 28 ppg, 166 rushing pg, 225 passing pg. his QB threw some picks but very avg numbers (10) for the season. I think Rhett has the potential to be a good coach if Gus will step back and let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply wasn't qualified enough. He should have been a OC at a SMU or UAB type school, for a while, before moving up to the big league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rhett could be an excellent coach, but Gus (trying to help) is in the process of ruining his career before it starts. Rhett needs to separate himself from his mentor to prove himself even though he steps back from his $600,000 salary. This scenario is also the only way Auburn will know what we have in Gus. Gus seems to blame Rhett, not by design, but through his cryptic statements to the press, when things tighten up on the offensive side of the ball. Time for Rhett to grow a pair. JMO, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eastern division leader is like the worlds tallest midget. LSU would've hypothetically went to the SEC that year and went to the playoffs according to your logic because they won an extra game. Not necessarily. Penn State never led Ohio State in the polls for example. And we are, for this discussion, assuming LSU never led. Penn state never lead because they lost 2 to Ohio States 1, and they lost both before beating Ohio State. I also would argue that there is probably a little bit of bias in there. Ohio State, bama, FSU, Notre Dame, USC, etc tend to always get a bit of a name bump in the polls. Still... if Penn State had just lost 1, they should have jumped Ohio State in the polls and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
