When Auburn has to settle for UAB's HC there's another punch in the gut. Exactly. This IS the bottom. There is no going down from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the fact that they would be pushed on him, but they are historically decent recruiters, right? If recruiting is our biggest issue with Clark (outside of the fact that he's like the 5th best option we went after), shouldn't that mitigate some of the concern? Why would you want to keep traitors on your staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear it’s going to have to get horrendously bad from a financial standpoint for any real change to be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hugh Freeze is sounding like a pretty good choice right about now....AMIRIGHT!?!?!? LOL! Oh boy, I am NOT going to miss THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Auburn has become a big joke since all the fat cats who's really running show behind the scenes. Here's my UPDATED list. Steve Sarkisian, Brent Venables, Luke Fickell, Hugh Freeze, Joe Brady, Lane Kiffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USATiger 741 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 9 minutes ago, Brad_ATX said: Again I ask this question because I think it's potentially intriguing: Does Clark hate Bama more than anyone here now? It was Bama and their board that killed UAB football right when he took over. There's legitimate motivation on his end to despise Tuscaloosa. No, and that comes from a player on UAB's team. I know the kid well, and assisted them with getting to UAB. The kid chose UAB over a bunch of schools, including some SEC schools, because he loves Clark. I know Clark was a big bammer, he isn't anymore. Still shouldn't be our next coach regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewzums343 76 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Bill Clark isn't going to win us a national championship, Bill Clark won't beat Georgia and Alabama on the road. Don't do it. Look for some more candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the first guys were forced to say no and the second guys were never even contacted. If Bill Clark was truly the best candidate that Auburn COULD hire no one would be mad.

My point is, this evidently is not a big enough gut punch to the PTB. I think the only thing that would cause change is for things to get really bad financially in the coming seasons. If the PTB is willing to let a “sun belt” coach walk because he wanted autonomy, then it really didn’t bother them that much and that’s scary.

tbone1430 1,346 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Only way to fight this is for us to pull donations and refuse to go to games until true change at the top is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn Tiger 1,340 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’d bet dollars to donuts Jordan-Hare will be packed out next season. The one thing we have to bargain with, and we won’t do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus being fired is not the problem and never will be. What Auburn wanted was a BETTER coach and they absolutely could have had that. These guys aren’t turning down Auburn. They are turning down the stipulations the PTB are placing them under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
