I have been on here too long, I correcting shortly after. Thought it was Friday for a minute :conf2:Some talk says Auburn is announcing tomorrow or Wednesday. I doubt it unless a name breaks fairly soon.

Do you not think he would be a good hire for Auburn? I know why you and I think Auburn would not be a good place for him but I personally think Auburn would be lucky to get him. Especially with his ties to recruiting in the South and their problems. I don't see any established head coach at a winning program going there so I believe they will be lucky to get a top assistant.NOT
NCAA snooping around and too many ghosts who have a say in the program make this a hazard zone. Plus, I believe very few coaches are ready to take the helm of a major program - that's a stretch with Auburn I know - as their first major coaching assignment.
I think CKS may one day be a great head coach - only time will tell. Regardless, the barn is a major program and I'm not sure their best move is to hire an unproved coach. Sure, it works out sometimes, but it's a miserable failure others. At this point, I suspect Malzahn is their man based on experience alone.Do you not think he would be a good hire for Auburn?

Gotcha. I heard by Wednesday this week from Del Greco on the morning drive, and yes that would keep us from having to worrying about the hypothetical.

Sometime this week would be GREAT!! Move along Barners!!!!I have been on here too long, I correcting shortly after. Thought it was Friday for a minute :conf2:
Petrino is the next coach down at the farm. Both he and au are desperate right now.Do you not think he would be a good hire for Auburn?

I agree its not their best move to hire an unproven head coach but I also think with all the good jobs open and with their problems it may be their only move. I figured Malzahn would rather coach Arkansas or Tennessee but who knows. He took a pay cut from Auburn to coach Arkansas State for some reason. I guess it could have been because of a falling out with Chizik.I think CKS may one day be a great head coach - only time will tell.

I hope you are right. How many times has Petrino beat Bama or Saban?Petrino is the next coach down at the farm. Both he and au are desperate right now.
Thanks , I just spit coke all over my computer screen and keyboard...LOLWhen Bama assistants go coach at Auburn, they feel second class. When you feel second class, you drink heavily. When you drink heavily, you say stupid things on the Finebaum show. When you say stupid things on the Finebaum show, every knows it's Pat Dye. Don't become like Pat Dye, and stay at Alabama.
I sure would like to know if Earle has heard anything of late on the subject of Coach Smart.
It seems to me that *uburn hiring smart would be like landing the hot new girl for home coming. She sure does look good, but nobody really knows if she is a good girl, if she will put out.
even Marshall is refuting the story that smart has been hired. so looks like it was a rumor taken from a bleacher report type of site with information from message boards and a blind guess.I say give him 2.5 mi to stay at Bama!!! Someone please tell me hes not going to the darkside!!!!!!!!!:mad2:
Hope you're right! Now I'm more worried about who/what he takes with him than just him leaving. First one to pop into my head was Cochran. They seem really close. Then I started thinking about recruits. Who would he take with him as well? Not to mention all the knowledge of the inner workings of the Alabama program. I feel sick. This is just too much! Plz Kirby say NO. It's auburn!!!No way Kirby goes to Auburn.
And if ND put 40 on us, all his good work would go up in smoke with a majority of Bama fans who would now consider him "the enemy"............a large segment of the state he would still reside in. It's a huge risk and there is no need for him to get in the middle of that.If he takes it, you know Saban won't have him coach in the NC.
Surely, being in the coaching community, he has to know if the looming peril down at the cow college. Surely he knows he'd just be a pawn down there. Surely he's Smart-er than that!! ;-)Hope you're right! Now I'm more worried about who/what he takes with him than just him leaving. First one to pop into my head was Cochran. They seem really close.

I think he's the one they settle on as well...it's a better fit.I think CKS may one day be a great head coach - only time will tell.

Is this the 3.2 mill per year that Smart has taken the AU job?even Marshall is refuting the story that smart has been hired. so looks like it was a rumor taken from a bleacher report type of site with information from message boards and a blind guess.
