Gus Malzahn fired (and (laughable) coaching search...)

Never underestimate stupid.

Oh, you can fix stupid...

It's just a very permanent solution.

Yeah it also forced ND to temporarily join a conference as well. Unfortunately I don’t know who to cheer for between the Catholics vs Karens matchup

Catholics.

The comedy is too rich to turn down.

I'm going to list every head coach the Barn has ever had that coached them for more than two seasons without having a losing record in a season:

Gus Malzahn

 

[Bamabuzzard]

My Barner co-worker - who happens to be an alum and also heard it from another source - is, I believe, about a hair's breadth away from leaving work early or else just starting to drink at his desk.

He's randomly muttering and/or injecting into conversations the phrase, "effing Auburn!", over and over.

I almost feel sorry for him.

Yep, I have an Auburn acquaintance who normally LOVES to run his mouth and I think his wife may have to put him on suicide watch. He is absolutely sick as to how this is unfolding. He told me "This is an utter train wreck".

That's an easy one.

If AuDub is right about AD Greene not hiring Freeze, Matt Campbell isn't leaving Iowa State for Auburn, so from what we know now it is down to Napier or Steele.

 

[DogPatch]

I could see Napier taking it, if offered.

 

[AUDub]

Now that Cristobal is off the table, where are they going?

I say try for Napier.

 

[DogPatch]

I say try for Napier.

That's where I'd go.

I might be proved wrong, but my opinion is that Napier would be a good hire. He was a good WR coach at Alabama and an ace recruiter. He was on staff at Clemson as OC so he knows his way around the SEC footprint and where to find the top recruits. If he were hired, again my opinion, he should keep Kevin Steele as DC. Keeping Steele gives him someone to help with the transition in addition Steele is a helluva of a recruiter himself. He also coached QBs at Clemson and Arizona State so he would be in a position to develop Nix. Finally they could get him for a lot less than some of the bigger names.

Edit: Sometimes I amaze myself with such insight.

Follow the thread. In short, Bobby Lowder rumored behind long planned coup against Malzahn and replacement with Steele.

S.N.A.S.S.

Maybe. Remember, he was fired by Coach Karen.

Holy 2003, Batman!

In many ways, that could be a plus.

Touché.

Not sure the credibility behind this, but I've heard that Greg Schiano is now their top target.

That would be a solid hire.

 

[TideEngineer08]

That would be a solid hire.

Yep. I would be impressed at the turnaround if they pulled that off.
