aucoff22 5 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Why doesn't Gus just be a man and hire who he wants? Tell JJ to go EAD.... What would Bruce say to JJ if he told him to cut Steven loose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gotten cold feet if I were him given the particular sitch. I wonder if this is the Lindsey hire with the large buyout issue? Can't think of another Plan A...since Briles was nixed...

aufan57 922 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I saw Mike Yurcich's name mentioned in a Montgomery Advertiser article. Has a good resume. I do not believe his name has been brought up in this thread. BIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of tongue in cheek but that's what I'm saying he needs that kind of power to run his program the way he sees fit.....

Now its plan B The time to get cold feet would be BEFORE you parted ways with your OC just weeks before signing day. That sounds so unprofessional as to border on intentional. How can you be so incompetent as to not have everything completely ironed out before the Lashlee news broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,685 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I am suprised Dan Enos name has not come up even once in all the speculation I have read on message boards. Is he still not permitted to take a job within the sec? I think that was the case last year when bowl cut tried to hire him. FTR I would love to have him. Great QB coach and passing scheme guy.

AlaskanFAN 1,666 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I have been thinking about and I will throw this out there. I don't have answers, I just like to stimulate conversation. When Gus 1st went Arkansas in 2006 his offense was successful because is was new, inventive caught the SEC off guard and got them to the SEC championship game. It is was believed to be hamstrung the last few games by Houston Nutt possibly being a cause of them loosing the last 3 games. 2007 and 2008 at Tulsa his offenses lead the nation. He is allowed to run his offense completely with out restrictions. When he came to Auburn the 1st time in 2009 The running and passing game picked up, Chris Todd and his broke arm had a career year. 2010 with much help from Cam Neton we won the SEC/NC. After that we know how things went. 2013 he comes back we reach the NCG. Yet after that the offense slowly dies. And now here we sit. The years of success Gus has had really are 2006, 07, 08, 10, 13. In 06 his offense was innovative but he never was able to truly unleash it because of Houston Nutt. At Tulsa in 07 and 08 he released his offense and was gone before coaches in the AAC could adapt. At Auburn in 10 he had Cam. 2013 he comes back but SEC coaches have seen his variety of offenses in 06, 09, 10, players are more athletic, can adapt faster and the HUNH type offense had become more popular. He has seen what works and does not. He tweeks the offense, also has one of the great plays in Auburn history - The Prayer at Jordan-Hare and the greatest play to ever end a college football game - The Kick Six and boom back in the NC game. Then 14, 15 and 16. So to me, his best seasons have always been a flash in the pan. Catching a conference off guard and leaving before the conference defenses have a chance to adapt. (See Nick Saban Defenses adapting for understanding, heck see Saban offenses for that matter also). Also he has had a lot of luck or miracle or supremely well executed plays, depending on you point of view. So is hiring someone from the Gus tree a flash in the pan type situation? Catch to Conference off guard the first year but after that, not gonna happen. Bye bye Gus. What about hiring a former HC. Flash in the pan, because they are only going to around for a year. In the what have you done for me lately college football world how is possible to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
