No coach other than one just looking for a quick payday, or exit from a bad situation, is going to agree to those terms. Whoever does IMO doesn't have what it takes to be a winner.

AUx 3,006 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 2 hours ago, AuCivilEng1 said: I think they fired Gus with money that had been raised by the boosters. But nobody wants to front the staff buyouts and he doesn’t want to pay for it with athletic department money, since they are struggling to keep people employed with the pandemic stuff. That’s my theory at least. ^ this! Had enough ammo for the firing, but the backfill was supposed to be Steele, requiring cash that would have been in budget. Buyout for additional staff wasnt part of the (idiotic) plan. Hope the problem is just egos vs such fiscal incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve thrown ourselves behind every half decent person who name has been brought up. I would HAPPILY take Napier or Venables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligas 581 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 At this point I think the only way Auburn can come out of all this smelling like a rose is to call Hugh Freeze and/or Lane Kiffin and offer them the job with no strings attached. Give them complete control of all staffing and personnel decisions, a healthy budget for staff and a salary in the top 5 in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuMarine 1,372 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I have so much respect for Napier and Clark (if it is true that Clark said no) to not take this job and be handcuffed by the boosters.. good for them.. not sure they can get anyone to take the job.. and that sets up nicely for Steele..

I'd reboot and send a new ambassador, tail between legs, to extend the same offer to MC and Napier first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Clark did not say no yet. I hope he does but he did not say no. That was a rumor started on rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,860 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Apparently we have a bunch of selfish children running the show. I’m beyond mad, I’m actually sad, disappointed and embarrassed by this whole fiasco. I’ve lived through a bunch of losses and highs and lows that one endures as a lifetime AU man, but this is different. This is a new low and I can’t believe I’m even typing that. Wow.

AuCivilEng1 11,005 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Dude, at a certain point it’s going to become the thing to do to turn down an Auburn HC offer. They probably just all think, hey let’s all just say no and then we don’t have to worry about recruiting against Auburn anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
