I'd love to see the quote from Mario and see how long ago he said he'd come to AU in a heartbeat. He's currently coaching championship contending team at Oregon, he's recruiting better than Auburn, and has the best facilities money can buy. All things considered, I think he'd have a hard time leaving that situation right now today if AU needed a HC immediately like FSU or Arkansas.

He's not currently recruiting better than Auburn. He got a first year bump last year but currently sits numerous spots behind us, with 1 more commitment, with a better season, and with far less controversy. Oregon can't recruit like we can year in, year out. He's got an easy path to the playoffs, but very little chance of winning once there. Maybe that's good enough for him. But if it's not, he'll answer the phone when we call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? I would agree with that statement about candidates entertaining the Auburn job. People are listing candidates that have been allowed to build their programs the way they see fit. Our PTB's have demonstrated for decades to be some of the most meddling in the nation in regards to our football program. Even to the extent of almost costing us our accreditation. So while I don't have a low opinion of Auburn I do not have an extreme amount of confidence in the people that football coaches at Auburn work for or will have to answer to. Hell I am in one of those situations now. Current job was great across the board and a couple changes in upper level management now have me sending out the resume's.

Texan, please keep us posted on your job possibilities. Hate that, but definitely get it. Two years ago, the same situation landed me in a different school system after 12 years in the former, with a different grade, different leadership style, different growth mindset, and definitely different culture. Every commuting mile is absolutely worth it. Blessed. Do you have a greater confidence with a different AD, a blossoming basketball program, and rumors of waning Harbert influence? Just wondering if the chips might fall more favorably this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if the chips might fall more favorably this time. I am hoping to shorten my commute now lol. The commute before was worth it, hopefully I fill find the new fit like you did. I will have confidence when Auburn actually demonstrates it can change (much like most say with Gus). Football has always been the important sport so I don't think basketball success influences that much. A good start for me would be tomorrow they announce Gus will be here one more year and the department will work on changes or they thank him for his time and fire him. I don't see how the Alabama game (especially without Tua) will make a difference in their decision. Lol though maybe Tom Herman will be available, the woman that left to buy groceries for dinner is ready to can him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck job hunting. It's my understanding that was a big factor for Patterson not taking the Auburn job. Then we eat dinner about once a month with a guy that played for the retired coach than many around here want lol. Even a guy like Cristobal that is rumored to be interested in the job has seen how a program is (Saban's) when allowed to do it their way. I don't expect a coach to have full autonomy at every university, but man our PTB's have one of the worst reps in the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but JJ was the AD when we wanted Patterson and Green is now. If we want to eliminate JABA we need to start with a man that can change the culture. Bruce Pearl is doing it, we can find a football coach that can do it too. Nothing beats a failure but a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our handling of Gus is not from what I have heard changing anyone's minds. As I said I have no issues with firing him if the money doesn't touch academics/student fees. Also if they come out and just do it. No secret games of who can we get while trying to keep Gus on the line. Cause make no mistake, they up that buyout and fire a coach that isn't losing and things go worse they will be laughed at and highly criticized. Man up and do it like Texas aTm boosters did.

How can the PTB really be that bad when Gus is making the same mistakes, running the same offense, and hiring the same unqualified coaches as he was in 2015. If the PTB meddled that much, wouldn't things be a lot LESS Gusified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned it before, but I have a D1 tied in friend that tells me out PTB's play an impact on having to settle for unqualified coaches at spots. No idea on this one, but it wouldn't surprise me if Gus was had to take Nix as the starter and stick with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dependence on Bo (making him throw more than any QB he has ever had) coupled with his mistreatment of Joey, I think the Bo call was all Gus.
