Borges to San Diego?

[Proxigean Tide]

This is interesting from football rumor mill:

Auburn offensive coordinator Al Borges yesterday said, "I'd like to find out more about (SDSU), certainly."

I think Borges is and should be a hot commodity as a HC at the college level. I also think he would jump at the chance to get back to the west coast. RTR.

Come on Al, you know you want to do it!

 

[TommyMac]

Hmmm, San Diego or Cow Patty Junction? Not much of a decision.

Being your own man or working for a big-eared doofus....hmmmm. :biggrin:

I hate AuBARN, but he might be the best coach in the conference. That's including head coaches.

I think that's why we want him to go. That would be awesome for all involved.

San Diego is beautiful Al......

See ya later....

Hope that Al works out a house. With housing prices out there what they are, $1M a year is only a workingman's wage.

Ut-Oh: I've heard that Rick Neuhousel is the front-runner for that job..Hope that's wrong----- Would love to see ole Al go "Buh-Bye"...

 

[alatider]

Al, call me at BR-549. I can get you a good deal on moving.

Newhousel? Gadzooks! Is this some Frankensteinian combination of Rick Neuheisel and David Housel? Ricks' head on Davids' body? Vice versa? The comedic possibilities are practically limitless . . .

All in fun, RJ. :smile:

Lol SDSU isn't much of a program. I predict he stays for now.

Low expectations.
Room to improve.
Sounds ideal for a first head coaching position.

However, Al Borges had initially accepted the head coaching position at Portland State when his boss and head coach Pokey Allen left, then changed his mind, saying he "didn't want to do this."

So, I don't think Al wants to be a head coach.

 

[Proxigean Tide]

Have any of those who think Al wouldn't leave ever been to San Diego? For those that haven't, it basically makes most of the rest of the US seem kinda like Auburn.

Seriously, San Diego is worth taking the job for...no matter under what circumstances. RTR.

 

[dvldog]

They're the Aztecs right? Use to give BYU some good games back when...

 

[RamJam]

Ut-Oh- YES - YES YES - I did mean Neuhouser or however you say/spell his name- but I hear he's the one they're after for SDSU...I am laughing so hard at the Bama0579 comment - TOO FUNNY!

Neuheisel's name...

is tricky. It would be"little new house" if it were in High German (Neuhäuschen). "Heisel" is SW German (or some Swiss) dialect for the same. So "Newhousel" is not that far off. It all means "new house."

... guess that fits right in with TRU's post

Hope that Al works out a house. With housing prices out there what they are, $1M a year is only a workingman's wage.

 

[Bamabww]

Wish he'd leave the barn

and we could get him as qb coach. He'll have brandon cox a first round draft pick by the time he's a senior.

Borges won't bail unless deal fail-safe. Auburn assistant will only leave for 'heck of a good job'.
