Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Breaking news!!! It is being said for a sum of 350 K we can get the new OC from UCONN ! But also just in, Coach Malzahn is considering hiring his own self to call plays. This will allow him to save AU some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 No really, this was only way we could actually justify giving Rhett a raise. He takes the job at UCON for 250 and we give him a raise to 350 to come back. So everybody is happy, WDE and nobody looks bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Has anyone mentioned Wade Christopher? I am sure we could have 2 2000yd rushers and throw for 6000yds if we could get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every coach's contract should bar him from taking an SEC job. As a lawyer, I have to say that it might be unenforceable (non-compete clauses involving "professionals" are illegal), but there aren't any cases I'm aware of deciding whether coaches meet the definition of a professional (which traditionally meant doctors, lawyers, clergy and some say educators). It would be enough of a potential monkey wrench to make the parties pause before a coach from AU goes to another SEC school. LOL.....Muschamp would have NEVER accepted a contract with a no SEC compete clause. Muschamp had us by the balls, and we were so desperate to snag him that we gave him whatever he wanted.

If Gus didnt like to use the TE much, but here is a guy MY who used them 30 times, then MY may not want to deal with having to change his schemes. And add to that, Yurcich will have to maybe use Gus' terminology, and make sure his running schemes are used too. And then as these coaches have to make changes to their offensive philosophy, then add in trying to get these players to learn all this new stuff. Is it better to bring in someone from Gus' offensive philosophy tree, and not go so far out to bring more passing punch to the offense? It could cause issues in executing such a new offensive plan...just wondering...personally, i think we need to go with someone like MY and accept the gamble it brings...

I see where you're coming from, but you can't bring in a guy like Jarrett Stidham, and have him doing handoffs and bubble screens. That would be such a waste of potential. Jarrett's a peacock!

Gus is intentionally looking for guys who don't run a scheme like his. Where is the logic in that if he plans to force them into his scheme? I think it's best not to assume the worst in him all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yurcich is a FB coach - for a half million dollars he can translate 100 words and mold a scheme. We aren't building rockets with blindfolds on. Successful people move and migrate with great success every year. When you have turnover on staff it's ALWAYS time to upgrade. Seems like a perfect fit to balance out Gus. If we want to beat the best, we are going to have to get out of comfort zone. Hire this guy, put him on plane and focus on Saturday. We need to fill some big holes. Keep it simple and have high expectations (that is what Steele did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is much better to hear if this is what Gus wants and is willing to do. So if someone like Yurcich is hired, then we won't recognize his prior offenses? I would much rather use a proven OC's success, and then add some of Gus' plays that were very successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
