tbone1430 1,346 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I know we’ve talked about who would replace Gus ad nauseam, but what about our other coaching spots on offense? These are just some names I thought would be interesting to consider, not necessarily who I think would come to Auburn: OC: Jeff Scott, Tee Martin, Joe Brady QB: Dan Enos, Derek Dooley RB: Dell McGhee, Cadillac WR: Jeff scott, Joe Brady if they were OC O line: Good lord anyone other than Grimes. What say y’all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFriction 1,179 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Offensive coaches wish list: OC, RB, WR, QB, TE: who we have now OL: anyone but grimes. We’d be undefeated if we had an OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that will happen and I understand how it goes but honestly if I'm a new HC at Auburn and you have the defensive stability we have the past 4 years if it ain't broke don't fix it. Just wishful thinking so we don't worsen the one good aspect of our team which is defense. We just need a new HC and offensive philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Depends on who replaces the head guy. If you roll the dice on Steele (which absolutely should be considered, not saying it should be the final choice), you replace the offensive staff. If you hire a guy like Cristobal (or any other established coach), his staff is coming with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one to tell a new HC he can't keep what's working. Maybe time to do things the way "they haven't always been done." P.S. New fodder for no change..."We'll lose Steele!"

Doesn't his brother work in the AD? Wasn't that one of the main reasons he was hired? I think he stays because this is by far the most success he has ever had as a DC. The narrative on Steele before he got to AU was he was just a mediocre DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm an OL kinda guy. We are reaping the results of inconsistency in OL development and recruiting for the past 4-5 years. I know we all like to blame Gus for everything because that's the simplest solution but I believe our woes to be the conglomeration of little issues. I remember when Gus replaced Grimes with Hand, for the most part it was met with rejoicing. "Gus is gonna bring back that Tulsa offense to Auburn" we thought... And we watched as sack counts skyrocketed. And recruiting at OL was thrown to the wayside. So poorly was OL neglected we had to steal D-linemen to make up for it. Guess where next year's back up at D-Line will be... Non-existent. But the point is, what looked like a good hire at the time had turned sour in just a few years and I don't think it's fair to persecute someone for not having that kind of foresight. That's where I would focus the changes into the off season. And go heavy into the transfer market. I know we also like to complain of passing trees, and maybe I'm just completely ignorant and haven't played enough Madden but timing and catching seem to be what I see as the issue. I agree I'd like to see a little more intermediate passing but overall I think it's improved over last year. Kenny D I believe can develop a QB. Bo has a long way to go to unlearn high school habits, and Gatewood... I don't know. I know the reports I heard coming out of Fall Camp was that the offense moved better with Bo. Maybe Gatewood had the same -itis Joiner has? Maybe he doesn't have the "it". Maybe what little we've seen of him again inferior competition is an overinflation of what he can do... I just don't know. But I fully believe that if you put Gatewood in with the same game plan as Bo, you'd have similar results. Why? Because an offense is the sum of its whole. Remember when Malzahn would run 4 wide leaving the RB with crazy amount of room to run? We can't do that because we can't even generate a run game without bringing in our heavy run packages. Which then telegraphs plays so on, so forth. But we have issues that had been ignored or overlooked that now impede this team's. Make no mistake we'll fight to win the rest of our games and should be close in all of them. That buys Malzahn another year, but 2020 looms large and if changes are not made before then, it will not be pretty. TL;DR Malzahn is safe for one more year, but will have to make improvements on OL or else 2020 will be too ugly to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. You’re right. Enough is enough. Chip Lindsey was Gus’s offensive pass guru and he lasted two seasons, before Gus took over again. This was supposed to be Gus’s opportunity to show the Auburn people his worth as an offense guy. He blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
