Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[knoxswim890]

Get your flight trackers out VN. AD is making moves behind the scenes today.

If they’re making moves, would they need to travel to the coach? Would think everything could be done via teleconference and fax, at worst case would fly to the agent.

Plus, would also think they’d be using a plane such as Haslam’s N715CB which isn’t available for tracking. In other words, much ado about nothing until there’s a more formal announcement.

So Ohio State is flying in our new coach? Mighty nice of them.

My thought was Urban. He still works at the university and probably has permission to use their plane. Im not saying as coach, but ive heard Phil talks to him. I wonder if Phil had a talk with Urban and got some advice on who or what to look for.

I’d take Freeze over Gus 10 times out of 10.

 

[JacketVol]

Butch was also considered a high energy, innovative coach.

who really never played football and was a terrible culture fit and pissed on kids mentally in a weird way, not talking about being hard on them and was more insecure than a 6th grade middle school girl with bad friends

Kevin Wilson?

 

[windrider]

Probably

Meyer
Stoops
Or
some wait and sees

who would put us in the same boat when they quit or were fired

Exactly. Rinse and repeat.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

While I want Kiffin or Freeze, I’m preparing myself for a Marrone HC announcement...

I want Kiffin.

I’d back Napier or Freeze.

But we all need to prepare for Coach Jeremy Pruitt in 2021.

 

[Vol423]

I actually feel like Malzahn is one of the lower risk moves we could make.

Right. Low risk and NO reward.

 

[Dudleys87]

We'll be doing it again in 3 years if we get Gus. High risk no reward.

Like signing Art Garfunkel to a 200 million record label and world tour. It's a complete misunderstanding of how that Auburn team has won games.

So the only chance we have to fix it is a hopeful or a never gonna happen?

Pruitt it is.

 

[MrVolton]

I would be interested to see what the Gus/Morris offense would be if given more than 1 season to get going. And that 1 season not have been in pandemic yr with brand new OL. They started to make some progress as season went

I actually rather see him bring in an air raid guy that’s good with QB’s, and see how that meshes with what he does. The passing game seems to be the weak spot on his system.

 

[Smokey123]

I actually feel like Malzahn is one of the lower risk moves we could make.

He is. To call him high risk no reward is ridiculous he has a high floor but low ceiling

After the past ten years of coaching malpractice at UT, you people are really going to sit here and bash Gus Malzahn? Wow. Would be thrilled with that hire considering where the program is currently.

 

[Ten_Titans]

this... It's really uncanny when you go back and look at some of those wins vs bama, UGA LSU etc... Some unbelievable ish had to happen in some of his biggest wins...

He's had some of the luckiest wins I've ever seen, but that's not really what I meant.

They paid Gus 22 million dollars to leave and THEN TRIED TO HIRE HIS DC. What does that tell you about who the mastermind of Auburn's success the last 5 years is? And I use success very loosely here. How is that not a giant red flag? "We'll get rid of Gus, keep everyone else, and we will be winning championships."

They paid 22 million dollars to do addition by subtraction, and that's the guy y'all want.

I would think you would go to him, no?

 

[revjayp]

I’ve been here a long time so this question may be a rookie one, but is Jallen18 THE Jason Allen?

 

[Dudleys87]

This doesn't make any sense. If our compliance department is self reporting violations to the NCAA and we're trying to get out front with self imposed restrictions, why in the world would they be discussing bowl destinations?

Because a they’re dumb.
It’s an absolute embarrassment to accept a bowl invite at this point.
and if this is true then it’s the strongest case that Fulmer made up ground in keeping the bald man

 

[Aesius]

Gus is Mr. 8-4. Career record is literally exactly 8-4. 66% win percentage. We would have fired Butch eventually if he kept going 8-4.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I would think you would go to him, no?

Not sure I get what you're asking, but yes I would think you would have to make him say no.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I’ve been here a long time so this question may be a rookie one, but is Jallen18 THE Jason Allen?

no

 

[JacketVol]

Don’t want a guy who has never coached

But he has coached most of his adult life. Doing so today at this very minute.

 

[Dudleys87]

I’ve been here a long time so this question may be a rookie one, but is Jallen18 THE Jason Allen?

No, it’s not

 

[Wickman]

But he has coached most of his adult life. Doing so today at this very minute.

... head coach.

 

[m1al]

Would you rather pan for some gold and end up with some quartz for your trouble?

Really? What does that even mean?
