Defensive coordinators since 2020 2020 - Kevin Steele 5 years 2021 - Derek Mason 2022 - Jeff Schmedding 2023 - Ron Robert's 2024 - Charles Kelly and ???? I know people have said that Nick Saban goes through coordinators every year. He loses them because they take head coaching jobs or return to the NFL. We lose ours because our teams suck and we have to fire them and pay their buyouts. Maybe most of the time but certainly not always. They sometimes find their own places to land (Ole Miss DC for instance). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion there are 3 things you’ve got to hang your hat on in recruiting and ultimately recruit perception. Winning at a high level, developing guys for the NFL, and a great and fun team culture. It’s been a long time since we’ve consistently done the first two well. The culture and fun part we’ve been decent at but it matters less when the other two parts aren’t happening. CHF seems to be on the right track so far, but he has to get the wins and NFL pipeline ignited very quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujohnson 300 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 41 minutes ago, TeamZero77 said: I know assistants would be better with better talent. Whenever constant coordinator changes gets mentioned on this forum, it's always been met with "Saban changes coordinators, Kirby has changed coordinators" and so on. I would just like some continuity. When the same problems are happening under multiple head coaches and multiple staffs, it makes people wonder if the problem may not be squarely on the shoulders of the head coaches, it may just be how the program is ran from the top. Hopefully putting familiar coaches around Freeze that he goes back years with will help alot but the same was said when Harsin began surrounding himself with all those Boise assistants in year 2 and that was a complete disaster. It's not always a one size fits all when putting staffs together. I wonder how much it has hurt recruiting the past several years? Position coaches are huge in a recruits life and I wonder if the parents, as well as recruits, look at Auburn and think "Going off of recent history, this coordinator or position coach will likely be gone in 1 to 3 years." I've mentioned awhile back but Cam Stutts mother, Stephanie Stutts, went onto a Locked on Auburn YouTube video and said Cam played under Gus, Kevin Steele (interim), Harsin, Caddy (interim) and Freeze. That's 5 head coaches he played for and I forget how many O-Line coaches she said. Just sad that it ever got this bad. I definitely agree and hope for some coaching stability. My comment was more of the possibility of talent or lack of talent having an effect on results and therefore retention of coaches. I would say the lack of continuity definitely hurt our recruiting but I would also think that lack of talent hurt our continuity as well. We seem to be trending the right direction on talent so hopefully we see that turn into wins and coach advancement rather than the same cycle we have been on of fire and replace. I think the coaches we have are good enough to win when they have the talent and staff cohesion. I just hope we get the pieces in place fast enough to reap the benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cannot be stated enough how important the culture and atmosphere in Auburn as a whole is to the program. JHS and its environment is just the icing on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
