Hopefully it is a done deal with Cristobal and we are just dotting Is and crossing Ts. If it were to be Napier I think that is a big chance we would be taking and I think if it is Napier, it is because we whiffed on Cristobal for whatever reason. I’ve pretty much given up on freeze. The longer this goes out , I don’t think it will happen. I am honestly leaning towards LK being a serious option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Freak 2,528 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Steele is the fallback candidate. Auburn is JABA, but not that JABA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be exactly like something that Auburn would do. Discipline your mind. Control your thoughts and do not speak of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Auburn have enough money to outbid Oregon for Cristobal. I did read that the extension being mentioned was actually being worked on before this season even started. I think another hurdle is that he has an amazing class coming in that will sign in 2 days. He will dominate the pac 12 with that class. With Nike money and great recruits he is set. Just depends on if he wants to go to the Sec. that is the big question and it appears that he will stay unless he changed his mind overnight. You never know.

Steele should be the fall back TO the fall back candidate! lol. And honestly even way further down that list. Look He has been a good DC for us. But he was a terrible Head Coach AND NOT EVEN A GOOD DC for literally any other school until he got to Auburn. At least Chizik was a rock star DC for AU and Texas before his disaster at Iowa State.

tbone4jc 2,241 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Whomever the new coach will be, I hope he has a chip on his shoulder. I hope he feels he has something to prove and not just happy to be here. I hope he has a plan and not gimmicks and a bunch of tricks. I hope he can adapt his offense during the game when the original game plan is working. I do not see Mario Cristobal as being that dude. IMO, he is not an upgrade and he is a "safe" pick. I don't want a "nice guy" coach. I want a edgy coach that runs a clean program. Who is that? I've already mentioned his name but of course that probably won't happen.

Seems like the more Muschamp guys he loses, the sketchier the defense gets. Watching us get steamrolled every week in the running game was hard, after the 3 or so years of nobody being able to run on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJB74 77 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I don't understand the hype around Cristobal, those of you that want him please enlighten me He had 1 good year at Oregon...that's all.....he has a losing record..... please tell me why he would be a great coach at Auburn The worst compliment you can give someone is......"He has potential" which means he has done nothing yet.....

Now whether that means the P5 coaches saying no to us or ruling them out due to baggage, I would think MC is and should be #1 choice to try to get. Another surprise P5 if possible (Lane for example), then Napier for Elite recruiting and coaching pedigree. Then the backup options, then Steele lol.
