Also, this one from everyone's favorite, Josh Moon...who isn't exactly enamored with the hire...His demands included full disclosure of the state of the NCAA’s current look-see at the Auburn program, full control of hiring and firing staffers and the opportunity to coordinate the Alabama defense in the BCS Championship Game against Notre Dame.
Smart’s demands are perfectly understandable. So is Auburn’s unwillingness to grant them, which is part of the reason Auburn didn’t offer Smart the job and turned toward Malzahn.
Bingo!lot of spread offenses in this side of the conference, just imagine if Ark had hired Gundy.
btw....HAHAHAHA Auburn sucks.
Yes, we had our probation hire when top candidates were now not interested or others with some baggage were unhireable at the moment.Meanwhile, back in Alabama, Nick Saban is still HC . !!!!
Wow!
Auburn fans ripped Coach Saban for being a supposed job hopping liar..What Gus did to Arkansas St is a 1000x's worse than how Coach Saban left Miami..Where's your moral principles now Barners???..
I for one hope that does not happen; simply because, if the big schools come after him that probably means he is winning a few games at the barn.What's really going to be fun is when Gus uses any success he has at Auburn to leverage himself into a "bigger" job, like Oklahoma, Texas or Florida State. The LBS butthurt over becoming a "stepping stone" program will be epic.
:cool2:
I'm betting an uninvited visit to the manziel family with an offer in hand will occur shortlyWell, I wonder if there are any dual threat troubled shooting star quarterbacks on the market next year? We'll soon know I suppose.
First ... Welcome and Roll Tide, 1964.thought I'd use my first post to put out a wild theory I have about Gus, AU and the NCAA.
I read that one of the AU requirements that scarred off potential coaches was to keep Trooper as recruiting coordinator. If that is true and AU brings Gus home and you remember how AU handled the Cam affair, it makes me wonder if they are getting everybody who knows the truth (and isn't getting a buy-out that has a do not talk clause) back on the Plains so they can circle the wagons when the LOI comes?
Now, how's that for a theory?
