Not the guy that has the most in common with 75 year old super conservative white millionaire. THIS! What’s been so odd to me is to read comments where posters are addressing concerns with a candidate’s personal past. I could not care less about any of that and Auburn shouldn’t either. People make mistakes and are able to repent for their past. So long as it doesn’t affect their job performance it shouldn’t concern any of us. NCAA violations are one thing, whether Freeze made up with his wife or whether Sark is going to AA meetings ain’t got nothing to do with Auburn IMO.

wcware 1,365 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I hope every recruit in the country see’s what is happening with this coaching search. I hope they re-evaluate what’s best for their future. As of right now until I see culture change my child would not play football at Auburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa 1,908 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If there are truly this many issues with our PTB, then we are screwed and will never really be great again until they are gone and there is new blood. Doesn't give me hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnFTW 71 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 What I hope will happen is that they interview Tony Elliot and Napier and hire whoever is better. I'm still hoping these guys can turn around this coaching search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a total pipe dream IMO. I wouldn’t be mad at his hire because I think he’s the right amount of ridiculous that we need at Auburn. Just don’t see it coming to fruition. You know, after sleeping on it, I agree. I dunno how successful he'd be, but he's clearly learned since UT and USC. But you know what? As much as I hated getting scored on, that play this year where the WR got behind the DB and housed it and he hucked the clipboard 40 feet in the air before the play was over...I didn't hate that. I see some "fan" in that. That exuberance when a play just "worked". Honestly, I was glad he was back in the SEC because I think he is legitimately the only person on the planet that can really and truly get under Saban's skin. Saban is the best at what he does and you have to respect it, but it's just so business-like and buttoned-up. Admit it - we all like Bama losing, but seeing Saban fall on his face adds more than a little bit if icing to the cake. I think Kiffen is the anti-Saban. The anti-PTB. Exuberant. Has fun with it. Doesn't take himself seriously. He is straight out of The Breakfast Club, and Saban is Paul Gleason. He reminds me a little of some of the young baseball players, like Ronald Acuña Jr or Fernando Tatis that had a swagger borne of realizing they're getting paid to be involved in playing games and doing so at a high level. Anyway. No clue if we get him. But if we do, even if we keep winning at the same clip for a bit, there's no doubt it'd be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guide your child as you will but you are fooling yourself if you think other programs don’t have internal struggles and alums with big $$$s that guide decisions.

Auburn Tiger 1,340 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I just h e a real hard time believing we would just hire Steele and co. The apathy and disinterest is gonna be even worse than it was at the end of Gus’s tenure. Seems to me these people don’t care about a winning program if they go that route.

He literally just got to Ole Miss and they love him there. He had a pretty good first year there and probably thinks he can win there in short order. Not really much incentive to leave other than money, and his reputation (which he is trying to improve) would take a huge hit with literally everyone else except for Auburn fans if he left now. I think the AU "committee" is looking for the next young guy that has not run a big program before that can be hired for relatively cheap, while making sure Steele stays as DC as sort of an insurance policy. Just my .02. There are several names out there that fit that description that have been discussed here. Supposedly he let it be known he was interested in the Auburn job.
