It shows that some on here don’t have a clue if they believe CBP should be able to decide if CSP should be the coach. Bucky was exposed to NIL when he was a player at Mountain Brook. He has worked that system for years… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,804 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Look at the recent hires by programs better than ours and that are much better than us historically. They were not splash hires at all besides Michigan depending on what you think of Dusty May. It’s pretty obvious it’s going to be Steven and I’m fine with that. He’s a lottery ticket where if it hits we have our next coach potentially for the next 20 -25 years. Edited April 15 by GwillMac6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,119 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Would it be better for Steven to go get some HC experience after this (hopefully) championship season? Or better to stay under Bruce as a line of succession? If he has 4-6 years to be a Head Coach, does that make it easier to hire him full time after Bruce retires? But what other school wants to be the steppingstone program knowing he will bolt for Auburn afterwards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying he was a player that got incentives to play at MB but I am certain he knew some. That started 30 years ago when Mailon Kent’s son played at Mountain Brook and all of a sudden, the demographics of the team changed. When Bucky was coach, he was constantly getting players to transfer to MB from other local schools, including a couple of current NBA players.

NCAubs 421 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Don’t get me wrong, I like Bucky. He is a great coach. Just saying what everyone probably already knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buford City High School entices athletes from many North of Atlanta suburbs. Buford has its own school system, separate from the county and state. I don't live in Buford but a local HS baseball phenom near my neighborhood (a friend of my daughter, who does not have the money to pay the Buford tuition) was compensated to play for Buford HS which is about 15~17 miles away. Bammer and UGA always recruit Buford. I ran into Saban and Kirby Smart at Buford restaurant at the same time. Overheard them saying they were going over to Buford HS to see some talent while their wives were going shopping together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression mid-majors hire coaches with the hopeful anticipation they'll have to replace them a few years later once they get plucked away by a bigger job Edited April 16 by Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trendon Watford came to mind when I read your original post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
