Very good dc with the elite players we've had last 4 to 5 years. But hc. No way imo. If that's the hire, just freaking keep Gus. Definitely dont downgrade. I have heard before that Steele does not want any HC job anymore, so doubt it is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,856 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Can confirm that Steele does not want HC job. Is there chatter on other boards about Gus being let go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the last days of World War II, there's a few fanatics still holding out but everyone else knows it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinned Tweet AUFAMILY.com @AUFAMILY At some point, it’s no longer even about Gus. It’s about us. We, the fans, the butts in the seats, the donors, the lifeblood, have the power. What kind of football program do we want? What kind of program are we willing to fight for? If this is not it, our time for action is now. 6:33 PM · Nov 16, 2019·Twitter for iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense that he would not. It is a lot more responsibility and work, and he already gets paid $2 million to do what he is best at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put 75% on head coach issues/scheme, 15% on QB play, and 10% on OLine play. I DESPISE being mediocre, and quite frankly, I’d rather be bad and be getting somewhere than consistently average and never beating our biggest rivals unless there’s an alignment of the stars. I really hope that some AU fans don’t take the narrative that “our boys didn’t quit.” Of course they didn’t! They are amazing men that play this sport for fun/career, and we love them for it. I also hope that this doesn’t get to the narrative of “Welp, who else would we get any better?” That to me is a secondary question that presupposes that we need to make a move first. As for any insight that I have, I called my shot before the season started: We are getting the football-only facility done, and we are going to be a great team with an 8-4 record going into our bowl game. The folks with $ are going to make a move, as Gus’ last friends in the world were Leath and Harbert and one is gone and the other is being replaced. I don’t know if anyone noticed but during the game we announced that we got $10MIL from a new donor. That’s huge. The $ noticed that fans left at the end of the 3rd. Of course we can’t score 3 times! As far as a replacement, I said it then and I will say it again (and folks can take it or leave it) that we have a guy in mind and the guy has already heard from us. War Eagle! In other news, glad the photo-student is OK—That was scary. Prayers for Tua. Classy kid that has a devastating injury. Davidson played through a bad back tonight and Seth played through that same pesky shoulder. Proud of our guys. They deserve better. AS ALWAYS I REALLY REALLY appreciate your insight!!!

War Eagle! Could it be...? Or maybe... Or possibly... Or is it the hometown favorite? Blink twice if I'm close! Note: I am not actually expecting a response though I would not say no to a PM. I would take the info to my grave. Eagle Scout's honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And true...let's lift up PTB...obviously when you're close to a situation, it's a lot different than our "inquiring minds that want to know." I mean, if you've ever sat on a secret that you absolutely cannot tell until the time and occasion are right, you know how difficult it can be. Thanks for sharing, PTB.
