Zeek 16,650 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The Hot Board is supposedly: Eric Kiesau - really not a fan of this option but I could see it playing out. Harsin would predictably get flamed for just continuing the Boise Boys initiative. Picking someone familiar with the team and offense isn't horrendous though. Brennan Carroll - don't know much but I like it at first glance Matt Wells - meh not the kind of recruiter we need Dell McGee - feel like his name will be linked to us forever and never actually materialize Zak Hill - not atrocious Jeff Lebby - not sure he'd be interested but not a bad choice Kendal Briles - dear God please, I wanted him in the first place Mike Sanford - **** no dude just got fired Jeff Grimes - definitely intriguing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing overwhelming that screams must hire but obviously thought highly enough of to move up the ladder so fast. I noticed while he was at Navy he coached quarterbacks, fullbacks and wide receivers. At a service academy, that might be one position group. I like it. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally love that no one has credible info. It’s not that I dont enjoy getting the info, but that we seem to potentially finally have a leader of the program that actually controls the message. I didn’t hear anyone saying they actually heard Bobo was going to be fired. Just speculating it may happen. A whole new world…a new fantastic point of view… (wait sorry.

Butthead 525 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Serious question. When a head coach fires a coordinator with a 3 year contract does he have to get AD approval? If so does the AD have to go to boosters to see if they will pay the tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If short routes and the middle of the field are obvious answers, why are the millionaire coaches not taking advantage of that? They are definitely not blind, so they see the same things that you do. Is it possible that being an offensive coordinator is more complicated than that? I have been asking the same questions. And as stated, the issues are more than just being able to throw over the middle or short. But Maybe The answers will come with our next OC. Gus(and his minions) , and Bobo obviously did not have consistent answers. But as you know, these challenges have been faced by all teams in the modern era of football, and other coordinators have been successful. Or we can just throw up our hands and just come to the conclusion it is just too complicated. But I bet the right person will find some answers for the right price. It will take both talent on the field and scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 McGee, Baby Briles, and Grimes are the guys we need to go after. McGee fills our recruiting void in a huge way but he's not an experienced play caller. Auburn alum so we know he won't be dogging it if he comes home. Baby Briles has the Xs and Os aspect and it's been long enough since he left Baylor that the radioactive fallout is clearing. Not sure how much he moves the needle with recruiting. Grimes is a familiar face who does everything well but does not recruit as well as McGee and isn't as strong Xs and Os wise as Briles. This would be the Gus hire but not in a bad way (if that makes sense). Got nothing against the guy but I hope it's not Matt Wells. We need someone who can recruit this area. If it's Wells then we need to bring on a Co-OC who basically only recruits but makes OC dough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 11,005 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Joe Brady, Dell McGhee (Harsin calls plays), Jeff Grimes, Kendall Briles! Those are my 4 favs. But we are Auburn. So it’ll likely be someone like Cody Booth, TE coach at Colorado St. and we will all flip our sh*t and then slowly talk ourselves into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
