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

Interesting take on Nix being done at the barn

Oh for crying out loud. This article is trash.

Leave Bo alone. He's a kid.

Well, that's good and bad news to me.

The good news is it means (hopefully) that Bama won't be wiling to pay the exorbitant rate Coach Karen's contract will require should they pursue her.

The bad news is there's enough evidence of that sideways glance that Clempson felt it necessary to include it in the contract.

Yeah I don’t want Coach Karen Swinney here so hopefully that settles it.

The good news, Dabo has the power to name his terms at Clemson and he agreed to let them write that into his contract. Dabo has no intention of leaving Clemson.

As much as I want to believe this, Meyer had similar wording in his contract at Florida and still left.

Where there's a will...

I went from happy to sad within these 2 comments.

The backstory on this one is fascinating, BTW. Gundy did the right thing here in spite of the memeable moment.

I just don’t buy it. I’m getting the feeling that they went after Cristobal and he said no, and now they are wondering what to do.

Dummies at Auburn may have insulted Mario, with a lowball number.

A “search committee” is what got us Bill Curry. please proceed, Auburn.

God Forbid. You mentioned the last man taken in the Pro Football Draft.

I agree, but that one word carries as much weight as the word "if". Circumstances change and people's desires change, quick.

edit: Don't be surprised if or when Dabo does leave Clemson, it's for another school not named Alabama. People view Dabo and Alabama in a vacuum, as that would be the only school he would leave Clemson. But again, circumstances change, people's desires change and the guy may end up in the PAC 12 surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Utah or Colorado.

I hope they pick Steele.

Steele has the worst point differential in college football history. He lost by an average of 21 points per game for his career.

 

[techster79]

Steele's only Big12 win was against Kansas. He beat Kansas once in two tries...Kansas...in football. Hire the man!

 

[DzynKingRTR]

You never know, Steele may be great and turn out to be the greatest coaching hire in history. He could win multiple titles. Even more than Frost at Nebraska.

He could be the next rising star; like Sumlin?

His Grandad was our head coach in high school. His dad Patrick ran balls in and out for us as a kid along side Coach Jeremy Pruitt as his dad was one of our assistants. The guy writing this has probably never played a down at QB. I know one thing, Nix plays hard.

Well, that ship has sailed for the Barn!

 

[crimsonaudio]

Well, that ship has sailed for the Barn!

I dunno, $4.3m/year isn't a tough hurdle to clear, though I'd argue it's a safe bet Aubrun isn't going to pay more than that for what amounts to a basically unproven coach...

In unrelated news.

Who thinks Jimmy Sexton parlayed Auburn overtures into a new contract?

 

[imauafan]

God Forbid. You mentioned the last man taken in the Pro Football Draft.

Bill Curry was the last player taken in the NFL draft? I'm shocked! I had no idea!
