Discussions to fire Malzahn?

At the very least, they are going to rip control away from Gus, especially on the offense, and hire top assistants for him.

It still is just an ungodly amount of money to buy him out then go hire a top name head coach, even for a big SEC school with lots of boosters with lots of money.

this happens every other year. I will believe it when I see it.

Thats what ND did - kept Kelly despite the 4-8 season - the staff was overhauled though

Yep.

And what many don't realize is that $49 million is just the start. You have assistants to pay off, possible buyout at whatever coach you are looking at (which could be considerable) new salary...

A whole lot of "hidden" costs.

Would love to see them hire Brohm. He is a fit with what they have there and probably could be very successful quickly. Would stir the pot with UGA and Bama for recruits.

I'd prefer us stirring the pot with Bama and UGA for recruits...

Can't expect Stoops to say anything else honestly. Currently it's not an "open" job.

 

[bmaultbay]

Well, technically speaking, the "bag man" is not from Auburn.

 

[BearCat204]

Shockingly Auburn is actually moving on this

I agree, but with our administration that will not happen again in our lifetime.

Kinda like I just talked to this hot chick at work, but she's not going home with me

Is it the one in your new avatar?

I wish

But he didn’t say he wasn’t interested

 

[1955bamavol]

If they were going to throw a "Jimbo Fisher" sized offer at someone currently coaching, I'd think the list of guys realistically interested would look something like James Franklin, Gary Patterson, Chris Peterson, Jeff Brohm, and Mike Gundy.

You're kidding, right? What is it with Mike Gundy? At best, he is a mediocre coach in a mediocre conference. I think the folks at Auburn are smart enough to see that.

Came to make this thread.....

I have several Auburn Friends, most are alums...they are saying Gus is gone. Bon Stoops number one target wanting Saban/ Fisher money.

 

[golfballs]

Bob Stoops wanting Saban money in order to lose to Saban every year. Sounds like a deal

 

[NEVolFan]

Neil Brown... gonna get a big job... soon.

 

[sport3500]

I think Brohm gets the Louisville job.

 

[STL0611]

I think they will hire a good one. Auburn is very serious about winning

Very true. I hope they get someone good to challenge that guy in Tusc.

I give AU credit for trying, if true.

Bill Clinton: “I never had sexual relations with that girl”

 

[Grand Vol]

Truth.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Truth.

This. It would have to be about big time money. It's a step down for Stoops
