The class seems to be falling apart. I suspected to lose quite a few because of the change but this is getting ridiculous. I don't understand why we can't get coaches pronto. I'm sure that that in the HC interview process this was covered. It would seem to me that keeping a few of the current staff would help stop the bleeding.

I said in the other thread that trooper and luper were hired in January. No need to panic yet.

Exactly, Auburn didn't start hiring the previous staff until the end of Dec. and it took Coach Chizik 15 days to start hiring.
Coach Chizik (hired on Dec. 13th)
Strength Coach Kevin Yoxall (retained)
OC Gus Malzahn (Dec. 28th)
Recruiting Coordinator/RB Coach Curtis Luper (Jan. 2nd)
Special Teams Coordinator/TE Coach Jay Boulware (Jan. 4th)
Assistant HC/WR Coach Trooper Taylor (Jan. 5th)
DC Ted Roof (Jan. 6th)
DL Coach Tracy Rocker (Jan. 12th)
Safeties Coach Tommy Thigpen & CB Coach Phillip Lolley (Feb. 15th)
Coach Malzahn (hired on Dec. 4th...12 days ago)
DC Coach Ellis Johnson (Dec. 5th)
OC/QB Coach Rhett Lashlee (Dec. 6th)
Safety Coach Charlie Harbison and S&C Coach Ryan Russell (Dec. 9th)
OL Coach J.B. Grimes (Dec. 19th)
DL Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Rodney Garner (Dec. 20th)
CB Coach Melvin Smith (Dec. 25th)
WR Coach Dameyune Craig (Jan. 3rd)
RB/HB Coach Tim Horton (Jan. 25th)
TE/Special Teams Coach Scott Fountain (Jan. 25th)
I'd say that Coach Malzahn is moving just as fast as his HUNH Offense, especially after letting everyone go including the waterboy.

This is a good point. It's just disappointing to see the best defensive class we've had since they've started ranking classes disappear so quickly. It was likely going to be the highest rated defensive class in the nation. We didn't have that kind of class at stake when Chiz took over.

Bring on Tracy Rocker, he'll keep Lawson on and hopefully be able to keep Liner from jumping to uat...keep those two? Then, we'd be able to bring Foster back in, maybe Trey Johnson too.

The only thing I can think is because the NFL season is still going...guessing he doesn't want to leave before it's officially over for the Titans, atleast that's what I'm hoping anyway.

That would make sense.
-

Because he has enough integrity to finish out the year at his current job?

I was just reading his twitter account. Went back to when Chizik was let go but no mention of decommit. Said he got visits from Ole Miss, Arky and Vandy. As of 12-15, he said he was back to running full speed.
We need this guy.

Yup

Our local morning sports talk host has someone on every week from AU, Troy and Bama to talk about wazzup at that particular time. Got in on it late a bit ago so I'm not sure who it was from AU Undercover. (Justin Somebodyorother? I don't know who writes there besides PM) Anywho, he was talking about recruiting and a few tidbits from what he said.
He was at the AL/Miss All Star week and game and said Kamryn Melton was easily the best cover corner on the field. Had a great All Star game. Look for immediate playing time.
Said even though Lawson will definitely take additional visits, all indications are he is solid to AU.
Liner, the biggest unknown. Said he doesn't like to talk about his recruitment that much. But nothing to indicate he'll flip to anyone else.
Foster. He said he feels good about Foster but he probably won't make a decision until just before signing day. He said Foster had met several times with Malzahn and Ellis since his public decommit and before the dead period.
He was really pumped about Cameron Newton Artimus Pyle. Sounded like he looked for him to be the man next year because he is a much better runner between the tackles than Mason and faster.
That was all I caught of the interview but it sounded a little more encouraging to me with what I heard.

I don't get the poo-poo"ing" of Mason. That kid had no problem running between the tackles...when they gave him the damn ball.

^^^This^^^
The offensive possessions this season went something like this:
Play 1 - Mason off left Guard for 21 yards
Play 2 - McCalebb jet sweep for minus 3 yards
Play 3 - McCalebb left guard for 1 yard
Play 4 - Whateverfuckingquarterback swing pass to McCalebb for 3 yards
Play 5 - Punt

You have to give the coach (GC) credit, he knew Mason would be tired after the 21 yard run, so they would rest him for the next game.
-
Oh I thought Mason did extremely well, given what he had to run behind and the offense he was in. Actually, one of the few players that looked like they were giving max effort by season's end. And the guy wasn't dogging TM. He just thinks Artimus Pyle is a damn good back and his quotes were along the lines of better inside runner with better break away speed. Will push Mason for playing time right away.
The videos I saw on Cam Newton Pybus were chub inspiring. He hits the hole like John Holmes and makes a B-line to the end zone. Or beeline. Or Dee Liner

Disclaimer. The following is hypothetical in nature but based on reality.
In recruiting news today, Dee Liner decommitted from AU and pledged his undying loyalty to Lord Saybinz and the crimpsum lemmings.

Some commit of theres flipped to FSU today. Only he didn't flip, as bammers all over twitter, including beatwriters are chanting in chorus, because he had already decommited... "HE AIN'T BEEN OUR COMMIT LIST FOR LAHK A WEEK".
:blink:
So, he was on the commitment list. He is no longer committed to Alabama. And is now committed to FSU.
But it's not a flip? Ooook.

Relax! And no, no keeping of the previous staff! Clean fucking house. If it means we don't get a top ten class that the previous staff was going to ruin anyway, then fuck it, it's transition, and there's growing pains. The last staff had 3 great crootin' classes, and still didn't do shit with them after Tubs' players left. Maybe Gus and Co. can salvage some of them and make decent players out of them their last couple of years. You don't keep coaches around from a shitty staff to MAYBE save one or two players from a single recruiting class.

I was just joshing you. I had the inside info that all of these hires would take place and the time frame. Never any doubt in my mind how this was about to transpire. I was just not able to divulge the info. You know, security clearance and all.

The fake Gabe Wright twatter account?
5 gone so far since CGM took over. The Florence article said, Erique, Blakely, Sigler, Moseley and Westerman. I think everyone was in agreement there would be a good bit of attrition and probably needed to be. A few more wouldn't surprise me at all once they get out on the field and start banging heads for the first time.
