Popular Post cole256 17,080 Posted September 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2022 This may be the most talent depleted team I've seen at Auburn. This changes how I'm looking at what we need as far as coaching. So I know I won't get credit, acknowledged, or whatever because the admin don't too much care for me, but a very long time ago I said we needed Sanders, of course I was stupid and all of that....now over the past week some high profile media has said it and the "insiders" here have mentioned it and now it's ok to say. But I was sort of going back and forth with it in my mind, but seeing how depleted we are he's obviously the best choice. I think he's shown a lot as far as being able to coach but even if he couldn't we're at a point where we need a talent upgrade or we are going to be just like one of the Mississippi school's. Like this is serious right now, we are at a crossroad where we could fall off the map. It would be worth it to bring somebody in that could stock us back up with talent. There's nobody else that could come in and recruit in between bammer and Georgia 21 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenlee36 1,654 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We need someone who can be a game changer. Deion could bring that. Immediate attention to the program, I believe he’d be a hell of a recruiter. I don’t know how he will actually do as an SEC head coach. Could end up being a great decision or an absolutely terrible decision. Don’t have much to lose at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,629 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hiring Sanders now might be a good talent draw but can he coach and produce in the SEC on the field? Is Auburn ready to be a lab for this? That’s just as important as recruiting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot afford to regress any further, therefore, the next coach needs to be picked appropriately. You can easily dig your program into a black hole with continuous failed coaches. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read where his dream job is FSU which makes sense, but what happens if we hire him and then that job opens? He likely bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves, Sanders convinced Mike Zimmer , ex coach of Vikings to join his staff in some capacity. I said 2 months ago that Sanders intrigues me. I don't think AU should hire Sanders to make some statement or prove a point. He needs to be vetted fairly like all the other candidates. Find out his vision for the program, what he looks for in coordinators etc... He will definitely fix our most pressing need which is talent acquisition.. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jptiger 481 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I don’t see any negatives to hiring Sanders. Coach Primetime has a nice ring to it and he/Auburn would without a doubt be an instant major player come signing day. Get him before he’s gone. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if he leaves in 3 years as long as he does that I'll be happy. Edited September 25, 2022 by autiger88 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, but didn’t Kirby want more control a la Saban and he wasn’t going to get that at AU. Nobody has since Dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be must watch TV. Plus he is such a great interview. Auburn has been boring for a long time now...we need some swagger. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
