For all the Coach Prime fans …

I don't believe he'll get the job in the end just because AU will choose someone else. But I 100% believe he'll give AU an interview.

Golf posted something to the effect that he may very well get the job. 🤷‍♂️

This would be my order of preference at this point:

1. Aranda (best available)

2. Prime (willing to take the risk with the right contract due to exposure/recruiting - would need strong coordinator hires)

3. Kiffin 

4. Grimes (with lack of HC experience, would need strong coordinator hires)

Whomever is hired needs to be very aggressive in the transfer portal with a strong emphasis on OL and DL/LB

My hope is that we release Harsin after the LSU game but no later than the Georgia game.  We hire the new AD during the bye week.  Discussions and interviews with potential hires begins immediately after the bye week.  We announce the new coach after the Iron Bowl.  Current staff minus Harsin can coach until the end of the year with Caddy or Etheridge acting as the interm. I think this is best case scenerio if we can also hold on to our current commits.

I believe he referred to Deion having a chance at HC.  I'm pulling for Deion but I don't equate "having a chance" and " may very well get the job" as being the same thing.

At some point Prime is gonna leave JSU, he is too much of a competitor not to. However based on feedback from a few he has not accomplished everything he wants to….primarily as it relates to getting JSU and HBCU’s back to the table in big time athletics. If he was coaching at James Madison or a SE Louisiana he would leave a lot sooner. With that said money is the big denominator here, if someone throws Kelly or Jimbo type money his way it very well may change things.

I don’t see the AD time line working that fast.

I don’t think AU throws that kind of money. That would be double what Harsin is making.

I think we’re forgetting Deions financial situation and the income hes already walked away from in broadcasting. Plus if Deion left Jax St and the HBCUs at this point for just money, it’d be a very bad mercenary look for him. Now if some of the AU money “somehow” was donated to directly improve the HBCUs…. (which Deion would have to do legally at a personal level). IMO Might get interesting

I think some are also forgetting that he is very interested in progressing his son’s trajectory. It would help that if he were to take his son where ever he goes, which I think would happen.

Another take on Deion... Could it be possible,  he would like to go to  P5 school and bring his son with him?  Give his son a chance to prove himself against the best and get more exposure His son is tearing it up a JSU right now. Sorry Hank didn't mean to piggyback off your post.

Just like he is reiterating what he is hearing I am doing the same. I think you are missing the point of what Prime is doing to get JSU and  HBCU’s back to the forefront and more visible for athletes who would have traditionally chosen Power 5 schools. It’s something of great importance to him, and I am told he is committed to seeing that through. If he is comfortable that he has done that then yes I can see him moving on, but what I am hearing is outside of a Godfather like offer, he is staying put.

I don’t doubt what you’re hearing. 

My proclamation is if Prime interviewed for three P5 jobs less than 10 months ago, if AU requests an interview from him, he will interview. 100% guaranteed. Whether they can agree on terms, that’s 100% unknown by anyone.

I’ll bet @augolf1716’s entire stash of PBRs on it…unless Ian drank them already.

Let me get this straight — Golf is reporting Sanders will be the next coach at Auburn and will be flown in and on the sidelines tomorrow night for the LSU game.   😜

Not only that, Sanders will take advantage of his covid year, suit up & get two pick sixes for us.

There is no realistic available HC that would set our recruiting ablaze like Prime.

And it would be a nice F U to FSU lol

You're both close but what Golf actually heard was that Sanders will pick up two sixes and have them flown in to the LSU game for Golf tomorrow night.

Interviewing, offering and accepting are three different things. And i know neither can come without the other. I believe he is setting the table for his eventual move, getting a feel for offers, building relationships, etc. But as I was told someone would have to make him a GODFATHER like offer to leave, and I hope Auburn makes that type of offer because it’s the only thing that will pull him away 🤷🏽‍♂️

Of course his son is gone go with him. They’re a package deal, whoever gets Prime is getting Prime Jr
