Who do you mean Samford because I can assure you that the team in West Alabama would never hire a high school or FCS coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,809 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 SI published their predictable, quasi-informed Pat Forde drivel re Harsin's tenuous coaching situation. Forde actually gets through the entire story without using the phrase "NIL". The BOT "meddling" was a disbelief at Harsin boldly condemning NIL as a new but legal way to attract recruits and KEEP current key players with money via "third parties" (cough, cough). Harsin of course came around (too little too late?) but Forde lives to tweek Auburn and his yellow journalism attack of "the loveliest dysfunctional village" is off base as usual, we (and Forde) now know the BOTs "review" was making sure the coach was kidding about no NIL under his watch. Unfortunately potential new coach candidates may take Fordes partial info at face value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think there are a few off this list we can all but eliminate. Including Urban Meyer, Kevin Steele, Skip Holtz, Ed O, Bob Stoops, Bobby Petrino, Jeff Fisher, and Lance Leipold all seem like non-starters for various reasons. My top 5 candidates to consider would be: Hugh Freeze, Lane Kiffin, Deion Sanders, Dave Aranda, and Jeff Grimes in no particular order. I can write more about this if anyone is interested in my opinions on the matter. It does seem like it's just a matter of when not "if" Harsin will be fired. Alot of the same names that were on the list when Gus was fired. Seems like Freeze, Kiffin, Urban, Rhule, etc. are always on the list, no matter what team is looking for a coach. Remember, NOBODY had Bryan Harsin on any list when we hired him? It was Mario, Kiffin, Freeze, Steele. I think that nobody knows who is on Auburn's short list. Just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, of all the above, Freeze is #1. Unfortunately, character-wise, he also seems to be #2. Pun intended. But at some point, everybody deserves a second chance. I say we give Freeze his second chance. I think he would make the most of it. Hugh Freeze HAD his second chance - at Liberty. He sleazed it up: https://thecomeback.com/ncaa/hugh-freeze-liberty-dm-sexual-assault.html He should be a non-starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,778 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) So our first hopes should be Kiffin, Prime and Grimes. If they say no, who should our backups be, if we feel Freeze is a nonstarter? If we get the AD it looks like we will, hopefully he doesn’t rely on his personal connections.

If u look around the NFL some teams have a lot of RPO /zone read installed into their offense. Pretty much every team uses the concept in some way or form. The quarterbacks are way more mobile. My point is I don’t under the term gimmick because the pros are using the concepts but being more creative with it based on their personnel. It's somethings idiots on this board say to feel like they have more football IQ than they actually do. Or very old people, like the types that called the I formation a gimmick cause it wasn't what they were used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't done especially impressive, unless you consider 8-5 last year with an NFL QB impressive. Of the 3 coaches I mentioned, he's the only one who has done well at D1 coaching, QB development, and recruiting. The knock on Kiffin is recruiting. I agree it's debatable whether or not Freeze deserves a chance at Auburn. I had no idea until a few minutes ago that he has shown questionable character at Liberty, although I don't know the extent.

Hugh private messaged a sexual assualt victim who called out leadership at Liberty for sweeping the incident under the rug and attempted to defend said leadership. The dude is beyond being a scumbag. He's the kind of person you don't want anywhere near people you care about. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, keep in mind that his recruiting prowess at Ole Miss was built on cheating. He has no other record of recruiting in the SEC to point to, so there is no reason to believe that he would be a superior recruiter in the current (e.g. NIL) environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,778 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) So, it didn't look like it preseason but there's going to be a LOT of teams looking for coaches. Nebraska, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Arizona State, Wisconsin, Colorado, probably West Virginia. I would fully expect Colorado to go after Grimes, but again, if Aranda takes the Nebraska job I am almost certain he'll accept the promotion at Baylor. TIFWIW, but...
