If I was a college AD and needed a coach to turn the system around I'd be looking for someone who has done just that. I'd want a coach with a proven record and one that isn't being paid a ton of $$ . There's only one coach who stands out above the rest and will most certainly win the Coach of the Year title and that's our very own CJH. I'd say it's a certainty that Heupel will get the bank thrown at him by one or more teams this year. I't gonna cost UT a ton of $$ to keep him and IMO he would be worth whatever it took to keep him. It takes the best to beat the rest.

I dunno man. He has about as much job security at Liberty that a man could ask for. All he has to do is be careful with the old cell phone.

Maybe Auburn gives him another million a year to start but is it really worth the headaches?

With what they’re allegedly demanding over there no coach worth their salt would ever go there. If what’s reported is true think Tennessee under Hamilton but finding a way to be much worse.

Unless someone offers a stupid amount of money I don’t see him leaving as long as Danny White is AD at Tennessee. Look at everything they’ve built and done together would it really be a smart move just for financial gain? If what’s being reported is true then the fat cats are going to want to micromanage every decision and if they don’t like it they won’t allow it.

Remind you of anything?

Dudley87,i bet the new AD of Auburn throws the bank at Dan Mullen and Hugh Freeze. Dan Mullen would make sense because they're friends and the big money alumni from what i heard want Hugh Freeze.

The only way Freeze works at Auburn is if you open the books, get him top assistants, and watch him like a hawk from top to bottom. The culture around the program would be in question and rightfully so. Get the right support he’s one of the few that can compete with big brother and make the fat cats happy for now.

The best combo I think of is to imagine Hamilton being AD during Schiano Sunday..... Can't believe Auburn is getting to point worse than UT 2017 but here we are.

I think Mullen would be a solid and stable hire for Auburn. The good thing he has going for him is Auburn fell from canning Gus to bottom dweller so fast....

Cohen taking that job besides the pay raise would need his guy. I also think Luke Fickell has reached his ceiling at Cincy. At some point he has to make a move.

He's at a program (Liberty) that wins. Can knock off hte occasional big boy. Life changing money, especially for the nice locale. No headaches. Can enjoy family and coaching, and have time for both. Heck, after AU, even the ole Gus bus may decide UCF is as high as he ever wants to go again.

Starting to think Freeze doesn't want the microscope of a P5 program again when he can collect $5+ mil every year at Liberty for the rest of his career.

If it was me in his situation, I definitely would stay at Liberty. Sure you wouldn’t win a national title, but you can still have a successful program. At $5 million per year, you can enjoy coaching, earn plenty of money, and have good job security and avoid the insanity of a big time P5 program. I think many of us will get to the point in our careers where work-life balance and job security can be a deciding factor.

I highly doubt it. I don't think Auburn gets Lane, Freeze, or Deion because it is hard to control those guys. They all come in with reputations of their own and aren't going to bow down to some booster. Especially Deion.

They probably make phone calls to each of their representatives but end up hiring some assistant somewhere.

If Yella fella thinks hes getting a good coach that he can control, they will forever be where they are now, or worse. No good/great coach bows down to boosters thoughts/wishes.

I'll directly quote Chris Low, who made this statement on Swain's show once about Tennessee boosters:

"They'd rather be on the sidelines of a 6-6 or 7-5 team than in a luxury box of a 10-2 or 11-1 team."

It looks like they will be regularly on the sidelines of a 9-11 win Tennessee team yearly.:cool:

Agreed, that's why they will never be great again until they get rid of that mentality.
Danny White got rid of it here. Don't know enough about Coen to know if he's strong enough to change things at Auburn.

I really like Danny, but I think that mentality was already burning itself out when he got here.

Unlike Auburn, Tennessee's boosters have a couple of factions that compete with each other, and both factions had recently undertaken campaigns that both failed spectacularly. Neither one was in a position to have enough influence to dictate direction, allowing Boyd and Plowman to bring in an outsider and actually let him do his job.

I've said this since Bill Lee won the primary for governor. Randy Boyd not becoming governor and winning the primary was the best thing for Tennessee.While he was a Haslamite, he read the room and got things together to evolve and start ridding Tennessee of the usual suspects and paved the way for White to come aboard.

Very true, with the Haslems and Schiano vs. Thunder/Fulmer and Pruitt.

Wasn’t John Cohen the alleged NCAA whistleblower that led to the investigation into the recruiting violations while Hugh Freeze was at Ole Miss? If so, I don’t see him giving Freeze much of a shot.

Fickell has already had chances to move on. He's being selective. I can't imagine he's turned down some probably pretty decent schools to turn around and seriously consider AU.

He turned down USC….. not like he’s been “waiting” for right jobs to open up. Of course he was hanging tight in case the Bears hired Day from the Suckeyes

Don't you worry. UTAD will give him an ironclad contract for Saban/Jimbo type money and then we'll be back to 7-5 without Hooker. Barn will hire Freeze and build the next SEC dynasty.
