There are very few coaches that would be considered sure fire. Lincoln Riley was when he was at Oklahoma. Smart was Saban’s right hand man, people knew he was going to be really good. Brian Kelly had a great record at Cincinnati and made Notre Dame relevant again. Other than those hires, it’s really a crap shoot. That’s why me and others are clamoring for Deion. All things being equal, go for the guy who is an elite recruiter and can attract the most talent. Having experience doesn’t mean anything nowadays. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Auburn continues to hire the same coaches with the same backgrounds and it’s gotten us nowhere consistently. Yes, we’ll have those special seasons, but those are every 5-6 years sandwiched between mediocre seasons. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of the rollercoaster seasons. Go get Deion and see what he can do, it’s not like we’ll regret missing out on these other coaches who will probably flame out in 4 years anyways… There are several proven Head coaches out there that could turn Auburn around. The problem is would Auburn be willing to go after them and would they even come to auburn. Most of the people on here don’t want them and dismiss them right on the spot.

It's not like they've come back with future HOF coaches. And please, please, please, don't name the university after him because he has ONE good year. Would it be Sanders University or University of Sanders? I'd like for the recruits to get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run, winning institutions always outlive personalities. It’s about having having the confidence to not worry about giving credit to who helps you get there.

CameronCrazy 1,105 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 To be me, Matt Rhule is the closest thing to Bruce Pearl that’s out there. He’s a program builder. He’s an immediate hit with the media and will bring positive publicity to Auburn. My only question is recruiting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you took my first point seriously enough to respond the way you did was surprising, hence the gif. If you've watched even a small percentage of commitment videos then I think you could see the reference in my post. It was a joke.

At the end of the day, I don’t think a lot of people that are brought up even matter because they wouldn’t even come to Auburn. It’s like people on here want and think Deion would be the answer to all the issues at Auburn. Personally, I don’t think he would even come to Auburn if asked. If the criteria for selecting the next guy is proven history, creativity, experience and SEC familiarity, then the first call should be to Urban Meyer. When he says no, Lane Kiffin. After he gets his raise at Ole Miss and turns us down, The call will be to Freeze and he will accept the job. I believe Freeze (if he can get the backing and stay out of trouble) will have Auburn consistently winning 9 games a year and occasionally winning the West and SeC championship. If that’s not enough for people in the Auburn family, then you aren’t being realistic. Teams are too good and are only going to get better when OU and Texas get to the conference. Auburn has never and will never have a run of dominance like Alabama has done, and to me is not realistic. It doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like to have a run like that, history tells me it won’t happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s Gus with a passing scheme. He was 1-3 against Gus and even with all of the cheating he did he still won nothing. Also, he had and continues to have bad losses. I mean, he had an NFL QB but still went 8-5. If he didn’t beat UAT twice none of you would want him. Can we raise our standards to more than “he can beat Bammer”? I mean, bring Gus back if that’s the case. Then, off the field, he’s just a terrible person. So, no, please drop this facade that he’s some great coach when in reality he is nothing close to that… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 1,893 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Watched Texas vs. Iowa State so I didn't have to suffer thru Auburn Ole Miss. I'm really impressed with Iowa State's coach, Matt Campbell. Beat Texas 3 in a row, and it would have been 4 today if their superstar WR wouldn't have dropped a wide open TD pass with 2 minutes left. If you can build a good program at Iowa State, you are one hell of a coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
