Randy4AU 109 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Didn't Crime Dog, when he was hired by Freeze, say that he was really excited to be back in Auburn and wanted to stay here until he retired? Man, are we in for another year of off-season drama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujohnson 304 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) I would think that techniques between a lot of positions coaches are similar at this level and that getting talent and being able to motivate are a more significant differentiator. of course that is just my untrained opinion. 🤷🏻♂️ Edited December 31, 2023 by aujohnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in the hell wants to work with that crap. Horrible and embarrassing. Safety play got worse and worse after McGriff left the field. Unbelievable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to where you come up with that statement, because UM under DC McGriff was horrible. 2017-#110, 2018-#114 (compare with CK's D 2014-#49, 2015-#9, 2016-#45, 2017-#29). His D didn't improve at UM. WM is a great db coach, but that's it. NOT a good DC at all. 2 seasons at UM as DC and then he split for AU as a db coach. WM wanders from program to program. McGriff in the past 2 decades has never stayed at any one school for more than 2 1/2 seasons which is disruptive to a team. CK on the other hand had 7 seasons at Georgia Tech, 5 at FSU, 4 at UA. He promotes stability, which AU desperately needs. He's returning to his alma mater where he has staked his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
