That'd be great, but what would his rationale be for leaving a perennial top ten, blue blood name, that will always get the benefit of the doubt (see 2004), plays in an easier conference with worse defenses and has a much easier shot at the playoffs every year? Is it he needs to prove himself against SEC defenses? I think he's done that in 2 sugar bowls. I just don't see what his motivation would be to come here as opposed to staying where he is. Maybe I'm missing something. Money and a chence to lead us to a championship. OH and did I mention money ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe706 2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 OU can match the money aspect and I believe would after the showing he has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB would be great but we all know who runs the media in Alabama and I have a feeling it would end up being a 3-ring circus. Yurcich seemed good but I think air-raid when I think Okie State. Helfrich...no, just no. Riley, after seeing some of the should-be felons on OU's team, that hire will make me feel a little dirty too. I don't know that I can lay any blame for OU's questionable players on Riley... that's all on Stoops. Still, I don't think I could be any more shocked by the announcement than if it were Riley. Of those mentioned, Gilbert is probably tops on my list too. Yurcich was up there too, strictly on resume... but he got his raise and is out. I don't quite get the people who are pro Briles but anti-Lindsey. To me, they are kind of interchangeable. But, like I've said... I really do think it's going to be someone who hasn't been named. That seems to be Gus's calling card on hires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm missing something. I have to say, I would laugh my butt off if he came to Auburn because of all of the moral issues going on with OUs players. I don't see it happening, but it would be come nice instant karma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,784 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Maybe if we can get this to 100 pages of drivel it will collapse under its own weight. Then maybe we can have a serious thread about the OC search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyAU 3,630 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Tubs may take over as AD, then hire his new HC and maybe contemplate keeping Gus as a consultant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harp_AU2013 221 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 maybe he is waiting until the guys start to show up tomorrow before making the announcement and letting them be the first to know.. as a recruit, I would like that because the coach is showing that he cares more about you than the fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
