The dang pissing matches on every thread is fricking unbearable. I could not agree more with this post. I am relatively new to this forum given that I have just recently discovered it and I do not post much because of this. Upon finding these forums I was extremely excited to discuss AU football with individuals who are as consumed or devoted to AU football as I am but after ciphering through the different forums I realize this is not the case. I get so excited when I see an ample amount of new replies on different forums only for that excitement to be diminished by constant arguments that usually have nothing to do with the actual forum topic.

AU64 10,122 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Anyone name and Offensive Cordinator at any school who has had a run of success beyond a few seasons. Seems that these guys get hooked up with a hot quarterback and look great and when that guy is gone the offense looks pretty much like everyone else's. Seems downright foolish trying to identify an OC based on what he did the past year or two . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an OC he was well regarded. Some coaches just don't translate to good HCs. Take Kiffin for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He coached Smith under Dana Holgerson who is always heavily involved in his QB development so questionable who gets the real credit there. He inherited Manziel from Kingsbury and TAMU's offense regressed when he took over. He's hopefully learned under some stronger QB developers, but some are pumping him up as some offensive genius that would be a huge hire, which he hasn't shown at any of his stops. He's more of a Scott Loeffler Part Deux. I would rather have Chip Lindsey than Spavitol any day. Chip Lindsey has very limited experience at the collegiate level which the administration already said would be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augrad68 165 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 http://www.coachingsearch.com/coaching-search-ticker This site is also putting the skids on both Briles: Auburn: Art Briles won’t be considered for the Auburn offensive coordinator job, according to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy, who adds that the job is wide open, and the new coordinator will run the offense. 247Sports reports Kendal Briles also won't be in the mix.

Agreed... but at least they couldn't be quoted as saying something akin to "as far as we are concerned, the whole Briles family are a pariah." If they hire Chip, just expect a lot of spin and BS about how his past experience makes up for his lack of time at OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hover over anyone's name and you get the option to ignore them. You will find that most of the derailments come from a small handful of posters, so putting them on ignore cleans up the threads significantly.

KMR4AU 2 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The head coach at Bob Jones high school tweeted 13 hrs ago that Chip Lindsey is the new OC for us. Any reason this guy would have inside info to be believed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason this guy would have inside info to be believed? I don't think he actually knows anything, I know him. Chip Lindsey went to BJHS. Think this is just wishful thinking on Kevin's part. Kevin wouldn't have crossed paths with Lindsey as he didn't come to BJHS until 2008 and Lindsey graduated in 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
