Tiger 8,826 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm warming up to Mullen as well. What are his *facepalm* coaching tendencies? Every coach has them, what are Mullen's? Anyone know? This obviously should have no influence on if he's qualified to be our HC or not but I wonder if Cam would be as involved in the program as he is currently if someone other than Gus is HC. Especially Mullen considering he was Cam's QB coach for a few years before he left UF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuCivilEng1 11,010 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I really think Derrick Mason would be really popular with the people here. He seems like a really cool and motivating guy. The players would love him and Saban would just look like a total a**hole compared to him. He would also probably keep some of our defensive coaches. Mason and Steele on the same staff. We'd be like the 2005 Baltimore Ravens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,826 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 IMO Mason being a defensive guy he'd probably like to bring in his own guys. I'd probably be OK with that since it's his expertise until I think about our past hires. Gus - great O mind - trainwreck offense as HC Chizik - great D mind - trainwreck D as HC Let's hire a special teams coach and just hope punting and FG kicking are our biggest issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuCivilEng1 11,010 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I would assume that Auburn's defensive staff is better than what Vandy can afford. I don't see him bringing many with him. He'd be crazy not to at least keep Garner and TWill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like wise; if he is an offensive minded coach, who does he hire as a DC? Mason seems like the kind of coach that has a clear vision as to how to run a program, recruits well, inspires his team, has a never die attitude and is well respected. If you saw last years Vandy game, you probably saw the fight in Vandy's student athletes and at the end of the game, they fully expected to win that game. He ended the season with wins over Ole Miss and Tennessee (the champions of life). The man can coach and represent a school. I like that. I also see what you're saying, but I feel like defensive identities are easier to replace than offensive identities. I just remember when Gus was OC and how we didn't really seem to have a viable backup plan if/when he took a head coaching job (and how obviously we didn't). When you become as dependent on the coordinator of the side of the ball opposite your HC's background side, you're gonna have a bad time. And I feel that happens far more with offensive coordinators. See Bobby Petrino for us as well. That being said, I'll take Mason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kidding aside I'd actually be fine with Mullen or Mason too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning4AU 405 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I could get behind Mason and Venables. Mullen....no. My tops are (in no specific order): Mike Gundy Chip Kelly (Go After) Bob Stoops Chris Peterson (Even though I don't believe he'll ever leave the West) Gary Patterson This of course is like a military "dream sheet," a listing where you get to put down you preferred bases, but no one ever gets.

api1957 1,783 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Tennessee might be making a push for Bob Stoops behind the scenes. We better lose fast so we can get in on some of these coaches before it's too late. (Half joking, I wanna win out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
