Word is they wouldn't pony up to get Luper. Something fishy is going on down there. Haven't seen this much inactivity since Barfield.
Oh wow!! The " Luper and Trooper Show " redux ?? Well, maybe half of it anyway? With open arms, Dub ?
" He also formulated the Tiger Prowl, a barnstorming tour that brought Auburn to its recruits via well-appointed recreational vehicles and limousines that traveled around the region.
The NCAA later passed a rule banning those barnstorming tours."
I see they are still taking credit for that ban. It originated in the Big East. Visualize Big East basketball coaches parked around Lebron James' HS in Hummer limos and you get the picture.

Me too. The first time I ever got up and left the house and did not watch the 2nd half. Went to Home Depot and when I got home I started drinking and did not watch football :biggrin:. The Shula years were not fun.
Listening to sports talk during lunch, and the Cadillac hire seems to not have gone over too well. Some think it's a good hire for recruiting (somehow they expect today's recruits to remember Cadillac playing at Auburn and in the NFL). Most seem to think it was bad because he has no experience and Gus is only doing it for PR/please the fan base.
You mean two years of experience at a high school is not enough time to develop into a top 15 program college coach. Cadillac is just another high school coach added to Gus' staff. Birds of a feather.......
I waited until the ULM game to walk out during halftime. Good thing my apartment was only 2 blocks away.
All they need to do is hire Trooper Taylor and they could get the whole band back together. Luper and Trooper II.
Posting this here since it's AU related.
Backstory - Charles Moore is a 2019 recruit from Louisville, MS that announced he's going to Auburn today rather than LSU. These are quotes from after his ceremony.

Those Charles Moore quotes appear to be for nothing now...
I’ve heard that Horton and Gus had some “philosophical differences” on running game coaching concepts. Horton felt like he wasnt spending enough time “teaching and developing” the backs and the running game.
Gus wanted less “position coach time” and more time spend on offense and defensive unit concepts. I believe it has been a point of contention between the two for the last couple of years.
Some believe Horton felt Kerryon was “over extended” in 2017 because of lack of development in others behind Johnson and Pettway.
At least that had been some of the talk floating around campus right after the first of the year.
