AUBwins 10,075 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if AG kills it and totally screws up their plan to oust him. I believe in him, if he's given a true shot to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,650 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 If this all ends in Greene leading the search, hitting a 360 tomahawk dunk to land Cristobal, and he fights for Cristobal to have autonomy I'll name my first son Allen.

That's the 5,000,000 dollar question. Being in charge of the search doesn’t mean you make the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to back off of "QB development at an elite level"- looks like he *recruited* Tajh Boyd but did not coach him, and while he's been very successful as a QB coach, "elite" might not be earned quite yet. https://ragincajuns.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/billy-napier/1008 I knew a little bit about him, mainly what I've read on here and his wiki. Not that it matters now. Thanks anyway. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been directly turned down by the head coach or UL-Lafayette. It's reported they have now been turned down by the coach at UAB. That's an ugly mirror no one could turn away from. In no way, shape, or form could they be doing a worse job and they know it. To not get out of the way is blatantly saying "I don't care how bad I do, I just care about staying in control. Even if it means controlling a sh*tty program." I don't mean to be trite, but I'm trying to piece together the logic, too. Your point holds unless, the overriding, bullying, controlling power-holders are continuing to reach their desired outcome: Steele is already currently employed and (presumably) ready and willing to be HC full-time. We assume the point of the committee is to do what will bring excellence to Auburn. Their motives may be (certainly appear to be) different. "They" need to be excused to the kids table while the adults finish AU's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicitytiger 281 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 But honestly, this is what we do. Auburn is great at screwing up things that are important to us. It’s in our dna. Part of our allure. Take one of Chan Park’s classes and try to tell me we have things together as a University 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeattleTiger86 22 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Since no one else seems to want the job and the PTB want to keep the assistants, need to think outside the box like Memphis in basketball. Just give the HC position to Caddy and give him some time to figure it out. When the current assistant contracts expire, he can hire some NFL buddies to help. #HireCaddy 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they are irreplaceable or something. I mean at some point, long before now, it should have been sorry, we tried but it's not gonna work. It's gone way beyond strange in insisting these guys stay on. I mean wtf. By the same token, wtf is wrong with Steele and Garner that they think this is gonna work out well for them? The dislike is growing to hatred pretty much. I swear 10 year olds could handle themselves better. I just don't see a path forward for Steele and Garner at this point. At least not in any sort of tenable situation. Any type Steele HC announcement is going to be met with a worse reaction than Schiano got at Tennessee. It seems as though Clark would be the same and I have to agree with earlier comments that if you acquiesce to Clark's demand for hiring his own staff, which he should demand, then why didn't you do that for the guys you'd rather have? There is no good answer to that other than "we burned those bridges and Clark is the only one who gave us a shot to reconsider". That answer isn't good enough for me and it shouldn't be for Auburn.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Auburn fans can stop being afraid of Saban, Coach O, Fisher, Smart, Mullen or any other SEC coach. The people AU fans needs to be afraid are power brokers who's been calling the shots for many many years. Until somethings to force their hands, Auburn will always be treated like the little kid who gets pushed around and kicked around around and he's never able to get up and stand on his own two feet again cause he keeps getting knocked down every time.
