chizhead 618 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 When I am on the board keeping up with the PTB and the coaching search, here is what I hear playing in my head. I can just see Benny Hill and that, my friends, is JABA at its finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Troy coach and has recruited decently at WVU. Personality-wise very similar to Gus Dan Quinn || Recently fired Atlanta Falcons Head Coach || No official interview has been set. I think the PTB were a little shocked with fan response to this name being leaked. Seems they thought fans might be excited by an NFL name but a lot of Auburn fans are Atlanta pro sport fans and hated the idea instantly and vehemently. Jeff Brohm || Purdue Head Coach || his name was floated out there as being likely to receive an interview. He apparently really wants the job at Auburn. However, Auburn fans haven't forgotten the absolute butt whooping Gus gave him in our bowl game. Eliminated or No Real Evidence of Being Pursued: Hugh Freeze || Liberty Head Coach || too many concerns on baggage and unwanted NCAA attention Lane Kiffin || Ole Miss || while fans and players are interested there's no reliable evidence Auburn has or will pursue him. Character issues and a tendency to bolt have been mentioned Mario Cristobal || Oregon Head Coach || while he hasn't put ink to paper yet he's agreed in principle. His wife has also tweeted out than you's and his quote about the contract seem telling. Still has yet to like/retweet/tweet anything about the extension which is odd considering his usual activity on the platform. The Athletic Department seemed prepared to go get him but the boosters couldn't get out of the way. Tom Allen || Indiana Head Coach || no real connections showing Auburn interest. Doesn't help he has a massive buyout too. Luke Fickell || Cincinnati Head Coach || never coached outside of Ohio despite working at 3 different schools. His contract is all the way through 2026 and there's been no buzz around him as a real candidate. Jamey Chadwell || Coastal Carolina Head Coach || never heard his name mentioned even once. Now the Chantis are looking to give him a huge extension. Don't want to read through 250+ pages? I got you. Here's where we stand right now. Will update each morning.

They’re just as bad as the PTB. They would rather see AU suffer Bc Gus was let go than see us ascend to new heights. Sad really Who has said this? I have not seen it anywhere?

But we can’t have anything nice here 😂 If Mario wanted to be in Auburn he would be here. Auburn may have kicked the tires on him and vice versa. And maybe he decided to stay. None of us here factually know what happened. I will say coaches talk and are connected, maybe he knew he would not have the control he wanted and said no thank you. Or maybe Auburn wants another person they can control. All we know for sure he ain’t coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very contrast to the school/town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,660 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm thinking if we #StopSteele it ends up being Napier. No baggage Good pedigree Good head coaching record even at a smaller school Good recruiter Young kids, beautiful wife, seems like an "Auburn man" fans could feel comfortable with Unlike Gus he has more than one year at a smaller school Might be one of the cheapest options considering he only makes like 800k right now Biggest problem is his passing schemes aren't great he'd need a very solid OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle1982 449 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just a quick nugget here. This may give some validation to those who believe that the wheels were turning internally to remove Gus well before the State game. Got to talk to one of the players this week when he came home for break. He said that Gus had been acting really weird for a couple of weeks before all of this went down. He said the dancing in the locker room after the State game was something Gus had talked about doing all week almost like he knew it was his last opportunity. He said they had a feeling something was about to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
