Faced 4 a schoralship reductions a year. Which is huge at a place like FIU. Currently has Oregon recruiting better than they ever have. The rumored staff was not only great recruiters, but solid coaches. That’s what AU needs to get to the next level. Not this constant limbo of only hiring people that have been associated with AU What was the rumored staff? Only name I remember being mentioned was Dell Mcgee as RB coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think MC is coming here now at all and congrats on the win tonight. Made me some cash on that money line. But to answer your question, yeah, we can cover that pretty easily. An $8M buyout won't scare Auburn money folks if they truly thought they could get him. We literally just paid a guy $20M to go away and were already paying him $7M per year. Like it or not, football culture is just different in the SEC vs the Pac 12. Money isn't an object if it means winning here. I think you seriously underestimate that part of this conversation.

Would be completely shocked at this point if MC left Oregon for any job right now. However, I'd watch out for Miami in a few years. They may try to get him home.

I'll be really worried when NS leaves Alabama, tbh. Cristobal has spurned Miami twice before, but has Alabama ties, and would probably be an attractive prospect to them (much malice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneyDuck5 15 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 And for honesty's sake, and from my end, this never felt like a situation where Cristobal was going to leave, under any of the circumstances (future game to play, signing day), and it definitely didn't feel like Chip Kelly OR Willie Taggart (Chip Kelly shopped jobs each year, so we got trained to it), and Willie Taggart got his "dream job" offer after not even a year! If coach's agent played the role but wouldn't let Cristobal sign til after the start of early NSD, I'd suspect the culprits to hate are agents misleading boosters into thinking coaches were actually game, when coaches were not. Has anyone checked who Malzahn's agent is? Is it also Cristobal's agent? Why am I saying this? I hope to assuage reason to hate Oregon or Cristobal over this... is all.

Oh I don't think anyone here hates UO or Cristobal over this. We hate our own boosters and internal power players, but that's pretty much where it stops. Our boosters being meddling and screwing things up goes back decades man. It's why everyone is tired of it. But I do look forward to ripping your hearts out again next time we see you on the field 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the hubris of this board was insane, and everything else points to people saying anything to save face. Like people were like "we should leak the offer to show $7.1 million to save face" like wtf kind of culture do you come from where that's a thought? I'm not a troll, but I am opinionated.

And, didn't Gus not only advocate for this, but also pay for part of it? Like I said, I think he's a good dude. I think he's a nice man. I've heard varying reports of how he is in person, but no football coach can be nice all the time, so I completely understand that. I just rewatch that 2017 Sugar Bowl whenever I feel bad about the idea of firing him. Like you can see the team like quit and bail as soon as Sean White gets hurt. Sean White who he also kept in, hurt, during the IB that year. Offensive guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know players are gonna find out now He is loving it, when Sark turns us down it only adds to his program’s recognition nationally that his OC rather have kept that role than HC at his rival Auburn. if it spins that way, that is.
