If he stays at ole miss he has to beat miss state and win 10 games every few years…
Heck, winning 10 regular season games last year was a first for OM - they think LK hung the moon at this point.

They thought Freeze was a god because he beat CNS back-to-back seasons.

It's a low bar but if you can clear it, OM loves you.

and Auburn has a high bar for a team that has won more than 10 games just 4 times in 30 years

hindsight is 20/20 and the world if full of what if's. What if after the 2019 season, Auburn fired Gus instead of giving him a huge contract. FSU hired Gus to replace Willie Taggart. Gus' recruiting grounds don't change much from Auburn to FSU as its a 3.5 hour drive between the two. Auburn hires Lane Kiffin to replace Gus and Sam Pittman still goes to Arkansas. Ole Miss hires Mel Tucker

2020 season
FSU: Gus
Auburn: Lane Kiffin
Arkansas: Sam Pittman
Ole Miss: Mel tucker

talk about interesting

If I were a college football coach looking for a job, I would 100% take a job at South Carolina over Auburn. Way less toxic of an environment, better facilities, less expectations. South Carolina also did much better in getting beamer than auburn did in getting harsin
Yep!

The presence of the BOT trying to run the football program makes the awbern job very UN-attractive... :cool: (And I hope it stays that way.)

I think it’s kind of how you look at it. South Carolina is kind of a place you can work on your craft If you are a young coach. Expectations are low (playing the clemson of today is kind of a bugaboo though) they have been to sec title game once in history. They are in the weaker division of the sec. (Playing Georgia every year isn’t ideal though) It’s not a program obsessed with beating Alabama every year. (Even though they treat that 2010 win like it was the holy grail)

as a slight side note, think of all the money that Alabama has been able to make by keeping Saban for 15 years. Money that has been able to be spent on facilities and such. How much money have other programs spent by firing coaches trying to keep up with Saban?

Since 2007
LSU 3 coaches
Auburn 4 coaches
MS state 4 coaches
Ole Miss 5 coaches
Tennessee 6 coaches
TAMU 4 coaches
Great point.

True but Auburn is still a desirable job, and they didn’t have to settle on a hot head from Boise with no personality. They screwed up and tried to fix it but failed.
"Desirable"? That may likely be a diminishing status with the continuous shenanagins going on in the later years. How many coaches from Power 5 schools would jump for joy to go to Auburn? Yes, several from Group of 5 would take the chance to improve their stature and get the big front end bucks.

Because of the BOT, awbern could not be considered a "destination" job... :unsure:

With that said, it would be an upper middle-of-the-pack job at best. :cool:
