GwillMac6 20,677 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 but seriously if the PTB and the AD want to hire a OC for gus and do not trust him to do that just fire him. There is no reason to keep him. If they are worried about the buyout blame that all on our HIGHLY QUALIFIED AD jay jacobs....... he loves to give our coaches cushy parachutes.

vandyvoot 8 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow, we all need to take a step back from the edge for a moment. Everyone is going insane over the Crepa article, but has anyone even considered the possibility he just read what was in the 127 pages of this thread, hypothesized a turd of what all we have said, and printed it to see if it would stick? EVERYTHING he wrote has been basically said in this very thread. Most of us have little to no clue what is going on behind closed doors. We are mostly creating our own theories and wish lists and wondering why that wish lists isn't coming true or poking holes in everyone else's theories.

JGLEATON 1,244 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If K Briles was a done deal and Gus #1 choice until PTB meddled... I say let Gus have his first choice, and go all in after K Briles and make him turn us down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, it is a fact of Auburn football; but the other fact remains, CGM has done an excellent job of keeping his hiring plans under wraps longer than most other coaches we have had. When that happens media writers are desperate for something to write. They also know we are desperate for something to read. So I truly would not be surprised in the slightest to see stories stretched to get the journalists "clicks" up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I still wonder just how plausible is it that no one has a clue and they (in the media) are left grasping for straws like we are. But if it was leaked by either JJ or CGM, well, we've got far bigger problems than needing an OC/QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 That "journalist" will do anything to tear down AU. He hates AU. I think he is stuck covering AU and Gus and he is bitter. Do not listen to that hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charhair 345 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 As far as that article goes, it could have just been JJ/certain people who forced the Rhett outing (if that wasn't Gus' decision) saying no Briles or anyone with ties to Gus. Considering that's what we've all been wanting (outside of no briles, for some of us) it may not be a bad thing. Outside of in house promotions I know the coaches with ties to Gus only have faint ties to him but it could be an effort to make sure we move our offense in a different direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the PTB are waiting for Gogue to be gone and a new President be hired. Gogue doesn't care a whit about athletics. We need a University President that understand both academics and athletics are important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a hack and has done his job by putting down Au/Gus time and time again over the years. He lives for controversy at AU. I am not saying the OC search has gone well Or that the Au administration is not a problem. I am saying that this Jerry springer journalist is smiling right now at our "demise"...

It's his team, he should make the hire he wants to make. If the ship sinks, so be it. Meddling from the powers that be is an age old problem at AU. In any other instance I would agree and would have a problem with this. The way i see it is that JJ is trying to save both his and Gus's job. I would normally agree that it should be up to the HC to select who he wants. However, i think JJ and whoever the others may be feel like we can't waste another year with the talent we have on this team. With JS we have a great chance to be in the hunt for the playoffs if we can fix our offense. I hope the powers that be win this tug-of-war if it leads to an OC that doesn't have close ties to Gus and it makes him hand over a little more power regarding the offense. And that's saying a lot b/c i'd love for JJ to be fired tomorrow but if we can get a good OC i don't want the talent we have to go wasted yet another year.
