CameronCrazy 1,062 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We need to hire Jeff Scott as OC/WR coach and Mark Freeman as QB coach. Freeman can help us finally land some Thompson players. Throw the bank at Jim Leonard and settle for Zach Arnett as DC if he turns us down. Third option would be to bring back Kevin Steele. But absolutely under no circumstances are we to hire Todd Grantham. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Colorado was having a hard time coming up with the money they are contracting out. It's interesting that even with rumors that Colorado has no money to pay staff, Deion landed a top OC and DC in a few days. Colorado will get the money in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuscAUse! 1,410 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Does Colorado have a site or forum where all their fans can keep up with their favorite coach? Asking for some friends....... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll announce it when they announce it. Alot of people act like they've got to know every single thing that's going on at every second. It's like it's more entertainment to alot of our fans than actually getting the hires right. It's the "microwave generation" we now live in where everybody is accustomed to having instant results and can't wait for anything. Just have some patience for once. If we have learned anything from our new president, new AD and other new hires it's that everything is tight lipped until THEY are ready for the public to know. Most of our fanbase have asked for leaders like this and now it seems we have them so let them do their thing. WDE 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChrisH 135 Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 Good grief we are an inpatient bunch. The man is trying to hire staff, recruit the portal, and recruit high school guys before early signing day all at the same time. Most of you guys have twitter pulled up in the background of your Excel spreadsheet and bitching about how we dont have coaches after a week.

Damn I don’t think it’s as much of being impatient but it’s more about being confused as to the fact that assistant’s are being hired and announced and not coordinators. Also, there is a time urgency in play like it or not with regards to recruiting. Recruiting is still based on relationships. So the longer we don’t have the coaching staff in place the more detrimental it is to landing recruits. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU North 164 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Just read where coachs Simmons & Aigamaua did an inhome visit with OL Weden yesterday. Does anyone know the current status of coach Simmons? Was not really aware that he was still on the staff and recruiting. TIA WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the longer we don’t have the coaching staff in place the more detrimental it is to landing recruits. I understand your arguments. However, we don't know if the coordinators haven't been confirmed and are getting people on their staff with CHF going and getting those people. Maybe the coordinators have contract obligations that they can't get out of yet (NFL) or maybe they are in line for openings (see UNLV) Either way we don't know but with how much recruiting that is being done is really amazing in my opinion. He is all over the place recruiting HS and so are other coaches. I get your urgency also but there isn't much time at all and with Crime Dog we gain a few things in South FL. and now people that he knows from UL that he was Recruiting is now known and are looking at AU. Portal evaluation takes time and looks like they are being picky with it. pretty fast in little over a week in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA WDE If the staff isn't full, then enough off-field position guys can recruit to equal a full staff. Whether Simmons will be retained in an off-field position after the staff is filled is unknown at this time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great if Freeze and staff are out recruiting like crazy, but if I am a player I would want to know who my coordinator is going to be. No way am I committing to or even considering a school without knowing that answer. Do these coaches have the balls to tell a kid they just have to wait and see? Auburn is in no position whatsoever to tell this to recruits/transfers. Just my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is committed to being AU's DC, why wouldn't it be announced, even if they are going to finish a contract with another team? The college regular season is over. Maybe the NFL doesn't allow that, I don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
