Would love to see Deion replace Napier at ULL assuming he bolts. He'd possibly take some recruits away from LSU and the Texas schools. Then, if Harsin doesn't work out and Deion still looks really good do it. Worst case he'd bolster the talent level for the next guy

Perhaps. I could accept bringing Dell home. Since the Piggies showed that hiring a Georgia assistant can work.

Looks like LSU will hire Lincoln Riley after all. Who will Oklahoma replace with? 🤔

LSU goes after Jimbo and Riley. Auburn goes after Bill Clark and Bryan Harsin. The tale of two football programs.

TBF, I don't think we actually went after Clark. Also, LSU literally promoted Coach O last time.

Doesn't mean I'm happy with our current predicament, but yeah.

We did go after Cristobal first and pretty hard. He's being named as the #1 guy for a lot of top schools.

We messed that up tho

I'm not giving up on Harsin, but if he doesn't work out it will be all about how he didn't fit in. We will be stuck with former Auburn assistants for 50 years.

As usual. Although, I think I can tolerate Harsin being a dud more than I would have for Cristobal. He was my number one choice and I would have been beside myself if he had come here and failed.

I'm 100% convinced he's is a mediocre coach.  I'm not sure he'd ever beat our rivals with any consistency. He'd recruit well, but we'd never be coached well enough to do anything with it.

His time at Oregon has shown that. He was my #1 too

Yep. That is what drove me crazy about him. He consistently loses badly to bad teams. With that being said, I think he could be mark richt like and I am desperate enough to want that. Of course, I would be pissed with paying him 10 million a year to never make the playoffs. Ugh double edge sword.

Yeah, he would have been our "best" hire perceived by media and fans.

They shot and missed last time, that’s how they wound up with Coach O. They thought that was a good hire too.

Deion Sanders as coach 😂😂😂

Clown world. Dude is a commercial. It would all be swag until Georgia and Alabama stomp his lights out. 

Laughing about Deion Sanders becoming a successful D1 coach reminds me of multiple people laughing about Trump being elected president circa 2016.  
 

With the amount of bling he’d bring to a program, I wouldn’t put it past him being highly successful at any level short of the NFL, and that might even be possible.  I’ll admit it’s hard for me to take that thought seriously, but I’d bet a value meal on it.

He’s coached at least 17 games on the college level. I’m sure that tells us all we need.

Hey FSU tried coach Willie and we tried Terry Bowden and Brian Harsin, so why not someone try Coach Prime?

Maybe because Bill Clark wasn’t actually a candidate…however maybe people should see that most people saying these things are most likely the same ones who wanted the last AD fired and thought Green was the best hire ever even though the last AD is the one who got Bruce Pearl to AU and Green hired Harsin 😂  Certainly ironic

Well, in our defense, we also went after Chizik and Malzahn so at least we pursue mediocrity with passion

In terms of coaching candidates It really is depressing to think that the bigger the fish the farther they swim away from us 

[passthebiscuits 6,889]

I think this rumor is just wishful thinking…like the time I was dating this girl in high school, and I really wanted to date her best friend instead. But if I dumped the girl, of course her best friend wouldn’t date me. So I hoped some other dude would come “steal” my girl away, so it would free me up for the friend.

We also don't need an Athletic Director that's trying to get out of Auburn, making this kind of decision.

Somehow, the Auburn PTB seem to believe that mediocrity isn't really mediocrity if you overpay for it.
