I wish him the best, but he didn't have to take a shot at Gus or Auburn as he left. This firing gives me comfort that the issue wasn't just Gus, as some have claimed. There also seems to be some reasons that he has never really been a QB coach or stayed at one school for very long. I hope that he doesn't go to the turds because my opinion of him would change even more. However, their recruiting is already about as good as it gets and their receivers may suck. I could be wrong, but I think our wide receivers are about to improve dramatically. Being in an offense where they regularly get to do their job in game situations will lead to a significant improvement in their performance.

When Texas was having trouble with drops, back in the early 2000's, I believe, they made their receivers work with a tennis serving machine and catch 100 tennis balls a day. That's not a standard catching drill, but it worked. You are, however, correct that Kodi has not proven himself as a commodity, so he would not be hired by most Power 5 teams. Craig, on the other hand, has falling stock since the fact that teams aren't fighting to keep someone as good as he is on the trail raises a big red flag.

I think people will give Kodi more credit for this rather than crediting our offensive style being altered, sheer natural WR talent being upgraded, and an improvement in QB play as being chief reasons for the increase in statistical production. That is not to say he should get NO credit but there are a ton of things working in Kodi's favor moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that there is no new drills under the sun. Trooper Taylor also had our guys catching tennis balls and some people on here were upset about WR coaching under his watch as well. We have a lot of things changing in the offense that should bolster our WR production even if Craig was coaching them JMO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem believing that part of Craig's problem as a receiver's coach is that he's never had a real passing attack to work with. That being said, it's a lot easier to teach a position when you've played the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen the improvement in the Hawaii WR's catching ability after Mr. Miagi stopped by for a week and trained them on how to catch houseflies with chopsticks.

Yeah, if he goes there they might finish #1 in recruiting or something. Oh, wait..... That's the place he can do us the least harm. UAT is going to get/buy almost everybody they want anyway, and if he gets their receivers to drop as many passes as ours dropped while he was coaching here, we'll benefit from him being at Tuskaloser.

LKEEL75 2,566 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So if he gets hired by UAt as an offensive analyst (like Little Nicky loves to do). Then: 1) Is the buyout still in effect? 2) Can he recruit from this position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, probably yes and no... most buyout clauses require you to take a similar level position to be nullified. If he is hired to fill the wide receiver coach opening, then no and yes.

But as others have said, it is no secret that CDC left on bad terms with Gus and would not work for him again. So that is not going to happen unless something changes.

corchjay 5,311 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I need the don't even care gif. I've been done with DC once he left this last time. If he goes to bammer he is no different then Willis in my opinion. Good luck to him but I won't give him a second thought now or ever. Hopefully the rest of the Auburn Faithful do the same. And how's he gonna hurt us at bama. What sign another #1 recruiting class? Just like players I'd rather have coaches that want to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang that's brutal, I assume he was at least doing some recruiting through yesterday. As I recall, that's always been Craig's calling card, right? Mobile got less important now that the crazy cajun is in charge. Old Ed is going to be in for a rude awakening come 2017. I do not see the corndogs winning more than 8 games. Coach "O" has more BS than any coach in the SEC. I like the guy ok, but I just do not think he is going to pan out to be a great coach for Lsu. They will be trying to get Les back asap.

GwillMac6 20,689 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Craig going to Georgia would hurt us in recruiting way more than he ever could at alabama. Bama is going to get number 1 classes from here till saban calls it quits. I do not think kirby is going to keep this up where a top 3 class is the norm. Getting a ace recruiter like Craig though would certainly help him in that regard though. I would be sick if he went to Georgia thats where we got eaten alive this year in recruiting and would get even worse if he went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I agree GWill the state of Georgia recruiting needs to be a huge priority for our staff. We need to be grabbing 5 of the top 20 from there... we got 1 this year and he was #18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
