All I need say is “The Whirlybird”.
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
Jimmy was the reason Gus is still at Auburn after last year’s push to get rid of him failed. So why after a 3-0 start a year later has his mind changed and he is going after a coach that has been available for 2 going on 3 years now?

But really, is Jimmy that delusional? It ain't happenin'!
Prolly 'cuz Gus responded with a "Yep" instead of a "Yessir" last time he was in Yella Fella's office.

Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
Agreed, except for the "arguably higher" part. Only a Sooner fan would put the Sooners program anywhere near Alabama's program. But, to your point, Stoops didn't leave the Sooners to coach at Auburn for any price.
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
The net effect of Gus being shown the door is his re-appearance as the Hogs head man next year and the barn throwing wads of cash at everyone only to land their third, maybe fourth choice. Maybe Rich Rod to the plains?

Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
Of course, I meant historically. Not even a Sooner fan would claim (with a straight face) that Oklahoma football is the current equal to Bama. But I appreciate you understanding – and agreeing with – my point about Stoops.
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
I think that the general understanding from some of our well-respected Oklahoma posters is that Bob wanted to get out while he was still young and still had his good health, also wanted to spend more time with his college age children/family. Evidently his father coached for many years and died of complications related to heart problems, something he wants to avoid. Even if he still had the itch to get back on the sidelines at the collegiate level, I just can’t see it under any circumstances ever being at Auburn, that and I don’t see him buying into the whole “Auburn Fambly” thing at all.

Even historically Alabama is, without question to any objective observer, far ahead of OU. 16 legit NCs to OU's 7, including 12 wire service (AP or Coaches) NCs since 1961. You have a great program, including 4 NCs since 1961 and 7 total.
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
I think unless things really go south, Gus is probably still getting another year. If Jimmy Rayne is really saying this, then you have to wonder why it didn’t happen last year and it’s coming out at a moment in which if Auburn wins Saturday then you could realistically see a 9-10 ( with a Bowl win) win team

Just Brooks Melchior stirring the pot for clicks.
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
That puts the actual number of national titles at 12 and 7. So, yes, I'm willing to concede that Bama IS, historically the better/more storied program, though not by a great margin. I would rank the two programs No. 1 and No. 2 all-time, though I'm sure I'd get an argument from ND, USC, tOSU – maybe even a few of those delusional Texas fans.
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
Its gotta hurt them for this to come out when they are playing pretty well and their defense will keep them in games. Right now it is not so much Gus being an offensive genius as the defense is bailing them out. Auburn is going to give some teams trouble simply because of their front 7. This weekend will be very revealing for both A&M and the boogs.
My point is what message does it send to the team mid season when Auburn's most influential booster is quoted as looking at a new coach.

Gus does have the ability to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
Auburn is shot with luck when Gus is on...
The rest of the time the boosters just want him shot.
I will not bad mouth Gus too much. The one year I lived down that way I attended every Auburn home game. Doug Barfield was the coach, and they were awful.
Most of the games I attended, fans gave me tickets outside the stadium.
Now for a confession no Alabama fan want's to admit to.
I have always liked Patrick Fain Dye. I found him a Southern Gentleman.
I know Coach Dye had a thing for alcohol, and he sometimes played fast and loose with a few rules, but I liked him from the first time I met him.
Dye believed in hard nose in your face football, and that was my idea of football.
I like Gus. He's everything a Alabama Fan could ask for, and more.

A well paid one... :cool2:
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
Well, they could always steal the opponents signals and make their own defense look...oh wait, they already do that... :cool2:
Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
Remember all the coaches that turned down awbern and then they had to hire a 5-19 coach? :biggrin2:
That's the point, he wouldn't.

Re: Auburn Booster to Go After Bob Stoops if Auburn Loses Iron Bowl
The buyout is now within his affordability window...? Maybe YellaFella had an extremely profitable year and is looking for a tax write-off...? :cool2:
