Gus Malzahn fired (and (laughable) coaching search...)
- Thread starter Tide Rev
- Start date
Schiano would probably be an improvement to what they have had since 2009.
Yep. I don't think either of them could have gotten Rutgers ranked and to a bowl game.
I have a feeling they'll end up with Schiavone, or a similar coach, i.e. someone we didn't see coming. At all.
Mario said what needed to be said. That was a Money speech.
Ron White is an off color comedian. I think he is very funny.
Might be because I used to be a drunk. Lots of us around.
Let me apologize, I still have a sick sense of humor. I ain't dead yet.
Why do you fell the need to apologize for telling the truth, even if it's via a meme?
Schiano, if true, would be auburn's best coaching hire since Pat Dye. Interesting to see if auburn pulls a Tennessee with regard to its fans reaction to Schiano. IIRC, when Rutgers hired Schiano this last time he received a huge salary, got commitments for facilities and stadium upgrades and substantial funding for his assistant coaches.
His buyout after Dec. 1 2020 shrank to $6,000,000 from $8m. That’s a lot less than some of those bad Sexton hires if I’m not mistaken.
And Steele likes him...so he ain't go nowhere, should Steele get the job. Sux to be a barner these days
The most accurate thing I’ve seen written in the last five days of The Barn’s coaching search:
Trying to force Cristobal to keep Gus's sloppy leftovers is ridiculous. You got to let the new coach have control over the program otherwise they will be right back in this same spot.
We all know what Alabama went through after Bryant, and even more so after Stallings. We kept trying to hire coaches and force them into the "Alabama mold". Mal Moore finally had enough and went after Saban and gave him the free reigns to rebuild the mold from the ground up. The school, and more importantly, the boosters, got out of the programs way. If Auburn really wants to get serious then they need to learn this lesson fast.
Not that I really care because watching the roller coaster in Lee county is a lot of fun.

He's a gamer, yeah.
Just about all of his problems stem from lack of effective coaching and poor OL recruiting and injuries there. We lost 3 starting linemen as the season progressed. Kid had to flee for his life 4 out of every 5 times he dropped back to throw as the season wore on. Is it any wonder he'd bail out frequently even on the rare occasion a pocket did form? He's not afraid to get hit. Anyone that has seen him run the ball would know that.
Hopefully our next coach can, you know, coach him and put a functional offensive line in front of him for a change.
Just to highlight the absurdity of these golden parachute payouts:They can thank their agents for that, people like Jimmy Sexton are the ones who ensure $21MM nest eggs like these are worked into their contracts. It allows Gus and Kristi time to weigh their options without feeling rushed.
If you took $21,000,000 and gave each of the 85 scholarship football players $10,000 per year, you you have a $10,000 stipend/scholarship for every player for the next 25 years.
Most Auburn fans that I talk to are Hugh Freeze or bust( unless it’s Bob Stoops), and they are absolutely disgusted with the botched coaching search. They don’t won’t Napier, and they don’t want someone that Tennessee passed over. . IIRC the Tennessee fan base absolutely rioted in the streets when Schiano‘s name was trial ballooned during their last coaching search. The Auburn base may do the same thing.
I love it.
I love it.
One of the best things Moore - and others - did was having a number of closed-door meetings with some prominent people to explain how things were going to change behind the scenes. We may have had to rename a few buildings on campus and find a few new suite owners and such but we either wouldn't have been able to hire Saban or at least not have been able to keep him very long had those things not happened.Trying to force Cristobal to keep Gus's sloppy leftovers is ridiculous.

It really looks like the Barn has neither the foresight, the fortitude, nor even the basic desire to excise the rotting members of its household from its house - and the roof is just going to continue caving in on them until they do. They'll patch it and have a good season or two here and there - and even a Championship or two - every decade or so but the modus operandi is inconsistent, at best.
Or, as we like to say:
