Who gives a hell if he wins the race to sign the most 3 stars? It's an unknown. He, at least, maximizes what talent he does have. 0 losing seasons, 3 straight division titles, 2 out of 3 conference titles and 4 straight bowls at UAB is nothing to scoff at. He's a good coach. Whether that carries over to coaching in the SEC remains to be seen, but that's the case with Napier too. This exactly, but most are ok with Napier it not Clark plus I believe most coaches would do a lot worse at UAB all around. UAB has got to be the hardest place to recruit to. I would take my chances with Clark over Steele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about all this noise about insubordination and a coup, but am definitely in "clean house" mode at this point. Bring someone new in and give them full control. By the way Go Huskies.

PoetTiger 1,899 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We all have our preferred choice. Let’s not beat each other up about it. One thing we can all agree on, either Nap, Elliot or Sark is better than Steele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But it's not full of 9-36 coaches who nobody bothered to offer a HC job to for 20 years suddenly becoming world-beaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasEagle 202 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I give up. We can afford $7 -$10 million a year coach. It will pay for itself and then some. Alabama has to be laughing at us. They showed us the formula, and, we can't copy it. Step #1 Find a world beater coach. #2 Put our people on airplane, with instructions of don't come back without him. Pretty simple. Auburn is lucky to have it that way, and, I hear nothing but trial runs with OC/DC and second tier coachs. Awesome job with keeping up with the Jones.

DAG 33,988 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Both guys seem to be program builders and get the most out of their players. The key is who they surround around themselves. For Bill, it needs to be recruiters and for Napier , it needs to be quality coordinators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixtosanders94 2,180 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’m not sold on Napier. But then again I’m not sold on Sark or Clark or Elliot or anyone... As usual, we just have to accept that Auburn cannot hire a proven HC and that whoever we hire will be a crap shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are either working or we don’t pursue them when we should (Cristobal). I honestly think we could have had something great if he came in and cleaned house and we gave him full control.

We choose not to. Big difference fam. TAMU showed you can poach a sitting proven even natty winning coach with a big enough offer. Cristobal raise is only to 4.6 million. Our boosters wipe their hemhmroids with more money than that 😂🤣. They choose access over wins. Doesn't mean we can't get lucky. All of our average at best hires have had huge success for at least one season. Just need to sustain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdp5150 167 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We need a coach that can walk into the living room of a 5 star recruit right after Saban, Kirby, Coach O, Jimbo, Lane, and still win their fair share of the battles. Out of our list, I think Elliot seems the best choice, but to be honest he doesn’t seem all that enthused to interview for it. Sark seems to be the 2nd best.

Especially since he was the guy who brought in tahj boyd as his lead recruiter. He basically feels like dabo used him as the fall guy. Boyd is the godfather of clemson football and transformed and shaped clemson and dabo in to the big brand name that they are today. He saved dabo's job. Napier only had Kyle freaking parker the baseball ⚾data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== first player to work with at QB. When saban didn't give him the OC job he could of chilled, rested on his laurels and been content with having job security continuing to be the bama wr coach for several years but he bet on himself and left the nest to become Arizona states oc and look at him now. Yes!!! Kyle freakin Parker at QB and they still played for the ACC Championship in 2009 and broke a then school record for points scored in a season. Someone mentioned earlier today about if Tony Elliot came to Auburn he would try to bring Brandon Streeter with him. I think if we hired Napier that he might have a chance to poach Streeter away from Clemson also. Napier and Streeter were both offensive GA's back in 2004 under Tommy Bowden at Clemson. https://www.thecoachestree.com/leagues/ncaa-football/conferences/acc/divisions/atlantic/teams/clemson-tigers/2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
