And that allergic to height guy does not seem close to slowing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now pass that vino over here. It's after lunch and I'm thirsty. You gotta admit, though. We play both of these teams every year. They're both in our conference and they're our main 2 rivals. Nobody can claim a rivalry like the IB, much less the IB and the DSOR. One has been recruiting at a historic level for 10 years, and they just passed the baton to the other one. I'm usually not given to whining, but man, this is not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it means A lot more when the head of the program exudes that. Why I wanted Kiffin after the LSU game and still want him if we need a new coach. Hoping LSU doesnt get their hands on him.

looney 794 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Are there any stories floating around out there about how an eventual AU commit/signee trolled another school's fanbase? It seems like it happens to us frequently. UT obviously got a dose of it today. I'm sure it happens all the time, but I don't remember ever hearing about an Auburn commit being disrespectful to another school - but I could just be living in an AU bubble. I've been thinking about this today. If I were a coach, I like to think I'd tell recruits to avoid that sort of disrespectful showmanship at a signing/commitment ceremony, that they should be graceful in acknowledging the schools and coaches that recruited them, and thank them, but state their intention to attend X university - or if they're unable to handle it like that, take their show somewhere else.

He is also a good recruiter. You need to see butt cut Kirby speak in person away from the cameras to see what I am talking about. As a head coach and a closer to go into a kids home he is everything that Gus isn't personality wise. Gus is a much better person and does not use the language and aggressiveness Kirby does. I would want Gus raising my kid and I would want Kirby coaching my kid if that makes sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew Herman was going to kick ass in recruiting though. He just has that IT factor and personality that connects with recruits. You could tell from his days at houston he would be a elite recruiter. They got the right guy for the job. James Franklin is a great recruiter to. Common denominator is great recruiting head coaches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to start establishing depth at key positions. Yes, that starts with recruiting but it also involves getting players more live reps during the soft parts of our schedule; not waiting until guys get hurt. Cutting down on freaking attrition will help that depth issue tremendously IMO. And before someone pipes in that our attrition is normal and on par with our conference brethren......When we don't bring in the top talent compared to our main rivals on the front end, then when we lose players to attrition it hurts us even more than them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't just recruit good players that we think we have a chance of signing. If you have ever watched Kirby speak at a coaching clinic he is an alpha dog mentality. He makes kids want to play for him. If you are in a bar room fight do you want to side with the skinny kid talking about family or do you want to be with the alpha dog? Somewhere on our staff we need 1 coach like this. A younger Garner if you will. I can mostly agree with that. I think T-Will is pretty aggressive in that way. I'm of the belief that a coach can motivate in different ways and be successful. I certainly see Kirby having that mentality to fire up his players and stand with them through thick and thin. He doesn't belittle or place all the blame on his guys like Saban. He clearly goes to bat for his guys aggressively. But the same time a coach like Urban Meyer isn't a firey HC but highly successful. Players have to believe in their leader; no matter what style they may utilize. I don't mind us talking about the "family" aspect b/c that's what largely makes Auburn a great place. Many recruits have commented on having a family atmosphere as a key point in their recruiting. It's time for us to add being consistent contenders for championships to our selling point. Can't continue to be so up and down. IMO until we can stop having mental brain farts in games we should absolutely win against better teams then we are likely not to get the elite 5* guys on a consistent basis. But personally, i'm fine with the *4 and some 3* guys sprinkled in b/c at the end of the day they all have to be developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What players have we lost, other than for legal issues, that could have helped us win games? There may be one out there that dropped out of AU, went to another P-5 school and became a solid contributor but I don't remember such a case.
