According to Napier, he decided 2 years ago that he would complete his contract at Louisiana. He had a 4 year contract. He said that he had told recruits that he would complete the contract and that was why he had taken his name out of consideration for several jobs over the past 2 years. TIFWIW, but it at least came from his mouth. Politicians and Football Coaches... You would actually trust this? That's rich 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy to see Miami get their guy so they can feel just a bit better about being absolutely in every way inferior to our coaching staff.

I’m glad that Auburn allows us to have these fun times, by continuously whiffing on proven coaches to take chances on people you have to google. They are thoughtful in that way. What’s even more fun is watching other schools give that our dream coaches opportunities. It does a great job of keeping us humble by being able to see those schools make alpha moves that big time programs make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we offered him just before they backslid their way into the PAC12CG vs Miami who offered having just lost it Also who knows what other PTB stipulations might've killed the conversation. Can't "go get 'em" if you're also going to insist on handcuffing them. Just speculation of course... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle231 52 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Here is what I don't understand. If we hired Chris Peterson would you want him to bring in an OC that wasn't aligned with his offensive philosophy? Harsin is Chris Peterson's most successful protege. He has been highly successful at running the Peterson offensive approach which is by nature versatile. Yet is seems like many will be highly disappointed/confused if we go with Zak Hill or Eric Kiesau. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really were not bad at all. I’m not worried about the offensive scheme. But if we don’t have the horses to pull the wagon, the wagon won’t move. Zak Hill has no experience recruiting this area and quite frankly isn’t a good recruiter in the areas he’s familiar with. We need at least one guy running the offense to be someone southeastern recruits are familiar with and Harsin and Hill aren’t that guy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there’s a good chance that our offensive coordinator is some dude that coaches Boise High School football.

Well, if MC is dumping Oregon so quick to go to the sh*thole that is Miami, he would have done the same to us. Glad we didn't subject ourselves to him. He's still unproven as a HC. UO had the best talent by far in the PAC12 and he still lost games he had no business losing. Edited December 6, 2021 by boisnumber1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to those that claim they know, he is. But who really knows. The only thing I've gathered from 49 pages here is that all of the whiners, bitchers, and complainers are out in full force, but not a single one has offered a truly feasible option at OC that is better than who they are complaining about. Seems to be the nature of it. I'm not sure there are any truly "great" options out there. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a hybrid but his O. If he hires Hill, that’s a good thing. So I guess I’m in the minority. If we can’t improve on the O line, his scheme will not work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
