Do you know this for a fact? I know that if the Barn hired him, they would want him on-board ASAP, but remember, last year McElwain had been named HC at Colorado State, but he still coached in the BCSNG, right?

Exactly. Even if Smart does take the job, I think he will stay on and coach in the BCSNCG. McElwain did it last year. I think that is one of the stipulations Saban puts on his coaches if they decide to move on. They must finish the season. If it were a smaller bowl or just a position coach, it might not be as big of a deal. Hopefully that will be a deal breaker with AU and it doesn't work out.

If Kirby leaves, he'll be gone immediately. No way is Auburn waiting around for Alabama to win another NC.

That actually makes a lot of sense, PokeChop. Auburn made an offer to Kirby and he turned it down (probably knows what the NCAA will do to them), so they'll make an offer to Gus, and he'll turn it down if he's smart. They're keeping Petrino as their fallback guy sense he has nowhere else to go.

Still pretty sure Petrino will not be coaching at an sec school and I think that decision was made by the conference not the schools. I'd be shocked if Gus wasnt going to auburn by the end of the day

Guess Jessica Gertler used her cuteness factor to scoop the sports team there at WAKA, lol.

He's in a good place at UCLA considering that USC's grip on the city is being loosened by sanctions and Kiffin.

Good hire if true. Physical running game may take a while to implement. Might cause us to lose Tenpenny as well.

Not sure what to make of this hire. Didn't do well this year. Only in B1G championship game because of Penn State and Ohio State.
They started out pretty awful but seemed to improve a good deal as the season went on. Would imo be a much better hire than a Gundy or Petrino rehash.

Wow, didn't see that one coming. Why would he leave Wisconsin? And, what about Gundy?

It's like journalism these days (especially during this time of year) is all rumor. They are all trying to out-scoop each other so much so that they are printing false info.
It's more that sources are leaking false information.
