DCWarEagle 0 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Wow. Looks like another Auburn assistant coach is getting bites regarding moving up to a head coaching position. According to this B'ham News story, Gran interviewed a couple of days ago. Pat Nix is also a finalist for the position. I'd hate to lose Coach Gran, b/c our running backs have been so great, but will obviously wish him well if he get the gig. War Eagle to him and Pat Sullivan. http://www.al.com/sports/birminghamnews/in...3040.xml&coll=2 Also, this is something that I just saw yesterday regarding Coach Gran and his family. I'm not sure if this has been discussed on these boards before or not: http://anders-bookstore.com/index.cfm?fuse...Home.SydneyGran The Sydney Gran Foundation was founded by Rosemary and Eddie Gran in April of 2005 in honor of their daughter Sydney. Sydney was born with a rare disease known as HPE but defied the odds to live 6 wonderful years. Sydney passed on to be with the Lord on May 31, 2005. Sydney touched many lives not only in the Gran's hometown of Auburn , but at Children's Hospital in Birmingham where she was a patient. The Gran's want to help others who are less fortunate at Children's Hospital and would appreciate your donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I would hate to lose Coach Gran too, but, you can't blame a man for wanting to improve his lot in life. Stay or go, I wish him all the best! WAR EAGLE ! ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PChamp119 96 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Well that sucks for us. I'm thinking it will come down to he or Charlie Strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug2003 1 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 We had better be concerned where such prospects as Benjamin Tate and Mario Fannin are concerned!!!!!!!!!! These kids just might opt to take more visits or go somewhere else because of the possibility and probility the reality of Coach Gran leaving. Also, we still have to be concerned with Borges bolting! Damn, does success always have to result in insecurity and intimidation? Apparently so! However, I suppose I'm just full of it but I believe t hat a kid who really wants to pllay for Auburn University will NOT back down on his word because if he does, then I don't have much use for him or her....wde!

WarTim 3,456 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think what he is saying is that a kid should not pick his school based on one coach. I tend to agree. I would like to see kids come to Auburn because of Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarDlowe 39 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I do hate that with success comes uncertainty about the coaches that have helped us achieve what we now have... but I have always had faith in CTT and know that he will bring the best people he can to Auburn, and that no matter what happens our future is very very bright.

vatz22au 142 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Also, we still have to be concerned with Borges bolting! Latest rumor going around (back to that thread topic about the big announcement after the bowl game) is that CAB will be named a co-head coach, and that he will be guarenteed by contract to coach the Tigers if anything were to happen to Tuberville. Only rumor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably meant that he would be named Assistant Head Coach, which is purported to the rumor of big news coming out after the bowl game. Don't look for that either. If that were the case, it would be done now, to cut out the chance that other jobs would find their way to Borges' ear. Either way, I think (and this is simply opinion), Borges is there next year in the same role and capacity that he is now, possibly with a pay raise, but no promotion. The big news rumor is more than likely a stadium expansion. I have nothing to base this on from the press or inside sources, but simply logic and instinct, which fail me regularly.

Good luck finishing up. 204789[/snapback] I hate you all. My first final was the Monday after Thanksgiving (unless you count the paper that was due the Monday before Thanksgiving that was worth 100% of my grade in a class...had to give up free AU-UA tickets so I could work on it), and I don't get done until Wednesday. I'm up to about two and a half weeks now of studying 12-14 hours a day. My Thanksgiving break consisted of going home for one day to eat Turkey with the folks, then coming back down here to study. And as I look back and read this post, I've also apparently gotten to be a bit ornery. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
