Personally, I was hoping they would wait until the end of the season. I hate to see this happen all the time. It's a Merry-Go-Round.

Take the trash with you.

So, who replaces him? I hope they have someone in mind. Perhaps they can buy out someone's contract in an effort to lure them away from another school. I missed the entire behind the scene drama with Harsin. What happened? What trash are you referring to? I've been studying immunology and anatomy/physiology.

Thank you in advance for saving the program from a cucumber. Hire Deion because he's available, affordable and gives the program immediate recognition that will give Auburn the boost it needs... like having Pearl for basketball. Competing for talent against Saban and Kirby is a no win. Nothing risky about it, just bold, kind of like electing Donald J. Trump.

My hope is that the new AD, and whoever may be in his ear, are looking for that hire that "moves the needle". We never have. Since Shug Jordan stepped down:
Doug Barfield: Okay.
Pat Dye: Yes, he wound up being exactly what Auburn needed at the time. Changed the culture and overall attitude of the program and fan base. But when he was hired, there was a collective, "What's his name again? Where did he come from?"
Terry Bowden: 4'11" and his only claim to fame, other than coaching at Samford, was that he had a famous Diddy.
Tommy Tuberville: I liked the hire, because I thought he did a solid job at a probation-riddled Ole Miss program. But hardly struck fear in the rest of the college football world.
Gene Chizik: 5-19 and booed at the airport.
Gus Malzahn: 1 year of HC experience with Arkansas State
Bryman Hatpin: Before he was even mentioned as Auburn's next coach, could you find 3 people east of the Mississippi who could tell you where he was coaching?
I'm not talking about what each of these guys did, or didn't do once they got the job. I'm saying that we've never made a hire where people said, "Uh oh, looks like Auburn just got serious about football". In fact, you could probably go as far as saying Bruce Pearl is the only hire in Auburn sports history that made people stand up and take notice.
I don't buy for one second, the overplayed narrative of how dysfunctional this program is, and how it's really run by Yella Fella and his band of evil boosters. Bullshit!!! A coach at Auburn will be paid, and paid damn well. He will have all the resources he could ever want or need, to recruit, build the program and compete for championships. It's actually very simple, and similar to any major program. Win, and life is pretty damn good. Go 9-12, and look like shit doing it, and you're going to get a huge buyout and be shown the door.
I don't know exactly who would be that guy. Dee-yon? Lane? Urban? Not promoting any of these. Just giving examples. But if they name Jeff Grimes, or some up and comer from Youngstown State, fuck it! I will start to believe the dysfunction theories.

Deion Sanders - exactly zero years of P5 experience, less college experience than Gus, Barfield or anybody on the list. This isn't Celebrity Coaches on OWN.
Lane - Wondering how does this guy "move the needle" unless you're talking about his needle in a college town moving as the skirts pass by? I guess he's an okay coach, but he seems to be a Natty Lite version of Mike Leach. He's like an Old Row t-shirt come to life.
Freeze - I'm close to the end of my rope with AU as a whole as it is. Bring in the Dollar General version of Rev. Nutt? The tape will disintegrate as I disavow.
Urban/Mullen/Leach/etc - Fuck no.
I don't know who the right guy is. But I don't think it's any of those. I honestly don't think we're going to find the rockstar guy who people rush to the airport to see and try to fuck on the tarmac (Saban). The "right" guy might be that up and comer from Alamedo Tech. Problem there is some young buck is going to have a hard time getting everybody on the same page. That's what AU needs and if I'm being honest with myself, that hasn't been the case since the mid 80s with Dye.

I think you're really casting a negative slant over the first two. Not that there aren't a few concerns with each but they both have a ton of positive and upside as well. Especially with talent acquisition and NIL.
There is no slam dunk hire anymore. Every candidate is going to have their pros and cons. I think the trick here is to weigh all of those out and make a great decision based off fit at this point. Both Deion and Lane would be splashes. They would amass talent at a place like Auburn whose NIL collective is now sitting at 13 million after 40 days. There is a new FOF. Tons of resources.
I think they both COULD do well if given full control like Mal did with Nick, and later UGA with Kirby.
No 100% guarantee anymore but I do think they have huge upside. Deion has done some wonderful things at JSU on limited budget. His kids love him. There is zero doubt he would haul in talent. Can he run a huge pressure cooker of a program should be the concern. But I guess that concern could have been there for Kirby, Urban or even Dye in 1980. Intuition is key here by the hirer. I know of ton of recruits were talking to LOVE Lane as well. Hes got that DGAF swagger. We could use a little of that without the egomaniac part that was Harsin.
Who would be an absolute slam dunk, sure thing that would satisfy the masses? No one.
Urban, Bobby Stoops, Baby Stoops? Urban has some of the same sliminess as Freeze. Big Game Bob, sure. Hes a hell of a coach no doubt. He gets a bad rep based off not winning the big one but he did win a natty and won 10.5 per year for a LONG time. Baby Stoops? I like him but he has shit the bed a few times this year and his team looked woefully unprepared. I think he would be solid over the long haul but Auburn needs a Bruce type hire right now. High Risk, High Reward. We need immediate infusion from top 10 classes and portal prowling. I do think only Lane and Deion can do that.
-
I am no great judge of character, but it looks like Kiffin has matured since his time at Saban's school for wayward coarches. He still has that ability to goad with the best of them though. You can't deny that he is pretty good at this portal stuff and with the NIL resources here, he could recruit lights out. The big drawback with him is whether or not he would get a quality DC.
With Deion, there is a huge risk/reward at play. Would we be able to land top 50 recruits and keep up with the Jones'? Hell yes! Would his tenure at Auburn end in a glorious disaster? Also, Hell yes!
-
Especially with talent acquisition and NIL.
What good is talent if the corches don't know how to corch'em up? That's been a problem since Tubby left.
-
Prime Time
-
Sure. Let's fawn all over Deion like he's the second coming, only to have him say "no thanks".
Whoever is in charge of contacting him better be damn sure he is sincere about coming here. If not, you make the whole program look like the disaster it is. And if he does come here, prepare for a huge shift in how things are perceived at AU. And that may not be in the way you want. It could be a greatest hire of the century. Or it could be a PR disaster. But for goodness sake, do the homework and make an informed decision based on experience and stability. If it ends ugly, AU will be seen as/made out to be nothing more than a hillbilly huckster.

In the 1989 sugar bowl vs free shoes university, I watched primetime get away with pass interference in the end zone of the super dome. It was on the opposite side of where I was sitting but I have heard numerous people agree. And it certainly appeared that he was very early with contact.
Then, he intercepted a Reggie Slack pass in the end zone intended for Lawyer to seal the game. He promptly ran to our sideline and started talking that koonga boonga (sorry Wes).
He was a phenomenal athlete. I talked to Derrick Thomas on Bourbon Street who was there in his Alabama cotton bowl jersey so that everyone would know that he played ball. A very weird dude. One of my HS friends played for FSU and I was with him. He said that Derrick was there because he was friends with Deion.
Pat Washington was at the table with us in an Auburn shirt in Pat O’Brien’s and he was coaching at the time. Someone introduced Derrick to Pat and he just stared at him. Didn’t say a word. I’m telling the truth. I had friends who were on the team with him who would say the same. Dude thought very highly of himself.
Pat just brushed it off and didn’t make a big deal about it and Derrick walked on, alone in his Alabama jersey, down Bourbon Street.
I said all of that in order to say this: FUCK PRIMETIME. Fuck his momma, granny and etc.

When Sanders got into coaching, it was almost gimmicky to me. Never thought he was serious, or that he would stay longer than just enough time to put it on his resume. Obviously, he’s still in the early stages of his coaching career. And despite the fact that Jackson State ain't exactly in the SEC West, he does have an impressive 23-5 record. (.821) I get the upside, and possible downside to Prime. But what I’m far more concerned with is who does he surround himself with? I don’t give a flying, flippity fuck how big a name you are, if you don’t hire good people to actually do the work. But I’m pretty sure you’ll find that any great coach got to where he is because of that. So, I checked.
The reality is, he’s assembled a nice staff at JSU. A lot of experience, both at the Power 5 (SEC) and NFL levels. I can’t recall all of them, other than Dennis Thurman, who was the Buffalo Bills’ DC for 4 years. I’d encourage you to pull up the JSU staff and read some of their bio’s. It made me feel a good bit better about the prospect of going after this guy. For the record, I give us about a 31/77, or 26.844% chance of signing him. Maybe not signing, but simply going after him. That would be soooo Un-Auburn.
-
We live in a different time as far as today's athlete. The days of the hard ass disciplinarian type coach does not work any more. In order to be a top tier College team, you have to have top tier talent. I'm not talking 1-2 5 stars a year, it takes boatloads of 5 stars to compete at the highest level.
If I was Auburn, I would bring in Deion for no other reason than his ability to attract "today's" athlete. Then I would give him an unlimited budget for a top tier staff and all the NIL money he needs to RAPIDLY upgrade our talent level.
Who do you think a kid would rather sign with? the hottest name in the game (Deion) or someone like Bill Obrien or Matt Rhule?
I'd be hanging my hat on PRIME TIME
-
So, apparently the consensus is to go after Primetime at all cost and spend an unlimited amount of money on the NIL. You know, since we are apparently the wealthiest program in football?
Spend whatever it takes. Maybe it’s a good business model. Build it and they will come.
Fuck Deion.

We could always go find a bunch of 3 star diamonds in the rough and coach them up. Take your pick

Brandon Marcello was on PF a bit ago. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm quite certain he has no more "insider" information than anybody else. But just for discussion, he says they are all in on Lane as the #1 candidate, and have been for some time.
That's fine, and I'm good with it if it happens. What I DON'T want to see, is what happens every time we go through this. The media christens the hot candidates, and if Auburn doesn't sign them, and probably never talked to them, it's portrayed as Auburn getting turned down again. Who wants to jump in this mess?
Like Mario Crystalballs. He was the immediate target according to all the talking heads. Does anyone know if Auburn ever talked to him? He never said they did. All he said was he was happy at Oregon. Then he left.

Auburn to my knowledge has never courted the media's first choice nor have they ever asked me my thoughts.
But if he bring in talent we need him even if he leaves in three years time.
Look at what has happened just this season.
My God USC, Tennessee and Kansas have risen from the dead. Things have changed. I really don't give two shits about Sanders. Not my kind of guy but he's the best choice.

Hey I'm only 64 and I'm trying to get enough talent in place that when Sander's leaves muy bueno corchies will be lining up on des plains.
We are on the bottom right now.
We need a cool change. It's time for one you know.

You must have been drunk. That wasn’t Deion that hit Freddy in the head before the ball got there.
On the play before the final pick, an Auburn pass to the 1 went incomplete because of what the Tigers were sure was pass interference on FSU safety Dedrick Dodge. The officials kept their flags in their pockets.
-
Read a a little sumpn' sumpn' from somebody named Zac Blackerby. I don't have a clue. Just scanning AU football articles. But it said Auburn's practice was probably the best one they've had this year. Spirited, hard hitting and having fun. Also said some of the defensive guys are pushing for Deion. TIFWIW LGBTQ & a BLT from TGIFridays.

Aint no doubt the dude would stockpile talent. Saw a few rivals and 247 polls of top recruits concerning the coaching vacancy and they overwhelming would either consider a flip and/or heavily consider Auburn moreso than now, if Deion was the pick. They also liked Lane as 2nd choice. No one else was even close.

there was PI, regardless. And it was Deion that was talking shit.
Whether or not I was drinking is none of your business.
I’m all for all of these skinny jean wearing pecker pufferers right to clamber for Neon Deion but they should be aware of his shit talking to one of the most revered coaches in Auburn history. It happened.
The most disappointing is to see JMAR join in with the crowd, just because he’s the flavor of the month. I’m glad he’s not dead but I never thought he’d support this kind of koonga boonga.
We have an Auburn legend as the head coach, right now. Let’s support him and not worry about the search.
As stated previously, fuck Deion and the miniature horsey that he rode in to Jackson on.

Nice. I didn't think of Helton. And he's got Georgia Southern rolling at 5-3. I'll bet we could get him for just under $6 million a year. Maybe a 7 year deal with an $80 million buyout.

Harpoon did more damage to this program in his short tenure than anyone AU history. His atrocious approach to and effort in recruiting may haunt us for five or ten years.
We can't hire a failed re-tread like Muschump.
We can't hire "potential without experience" like Deion
We can't hire a morally bankrupt, no-trick pony like Freeze just because he beat Alabama a few times and got Liberty (liberty, liberty) past a pretty shitty Arkansas team. Hugh Freeze is the Wal Mart version of Gus. It's a huge step backward.
We can't hire somebody from the west coast or who hasn't coached in the SEC because there's a difference. Part of Harboob's problem is that his valuation of talent was faulty based on his experience. A fantastic player at Boise is a third-stringer at AU. Pretty sure he legitimately believed he had an amazing array of talent (Watch!) because he was unable to properly valuate it in comparison to the rest of the SEC. This is really a different topic, but I watched a good bit of the Oregon game Saturday just to see. Yeah, Bo is putting up numbers, but denying the level of competition is different is delusional. It's not the same. It's mostly speed. The SEC moves at a different pace. It's like p5 to D2... or watching a 6A high school game and then taking in a AA private school game. Bo has a better OL, but the decisions he has to make don't come at him as quickly as they would in the SEC. That extra second or two is huge.
So who can we hire? Damned if I know. Just can't be any of those.

No way Bo can IMPROVE his NFL stock from where it is now, by going from the cupcake defense Pac 12 to Auburn. Think about it. Its as high as it will be, and he should probably jump on that.

I know you laugh but....may wanna prep yourself for this possibility.
There are issues with Kiffin and the amount. Same with Lanning - he wants too much too soon. Were aren't getting in a huge buyout mess (AGAIN for the 19th time) for guys of their caliber like Aggie did. They are good coaches but not "70 or 80 million guaranteed" level coaches. I like Lane but 10 years at 10 mill each with 80% guaranteed? Hes lost his damn mind and I would advise him to reel in Sexton a bit here on that jazz.
Thats Saban/Peyton/Smart/Day/McVay/Stoops/Urban level money.

Agree. It's a tight squeeze moving a salary like that within the west unlike the era when Tub's came with a nice pine box.

I like Lane but 10 years at 10 mill each with 80% guaranteed? Hes lost his damn mind and I would advise him to reel in Sexton a bit here on that jazz.
Thats Saban/Peyton/Smart/Day/McVay/Stoops/Urban level money.

Speaking of coaching changes, just a quick NFL aside. The Colts let Frank Reich go a few days ago. Announced Jeff Saturday as Interim Head Coach.
Saturday coached a couple of years in high school, and has been a TV analyst since.

Indians Native Americans are so out now though. We won't even use their tribe names anymore.
What we need is a Trans coach.
There's a trans working the Murphy's near my Walmart that stands in front of the register like a mannequin and they have to have an assistant with her to fetch anything from the store. She doesn't move and they can't get rid of her. Quite a dilemma being that woke.

You do you, man. I will do my best to support your being yourself.
You are actually one of the very few on here that I would not expect to hear anything about coming out. I have always thought of you as a man’s man.
I seriously thought that maybe you, myself and old AU Tiger were the only x straight guys.
Again, you have my love and support.

Misdirection...
-
Misdirection...
Or as they call it - a "smoke screen" these days.
in all seriousness - if the obscene amount of money Sexton peddled to the media in regards to Lane got the attention of some more established, arguably better coaches and they wanna talk? We should listen.
BTW - Dabo isn't the only one it got the attention of.
People can say what they want about Auburn and past dysfunction but.....a big NIL pot, SEC West, an extremely passionate fanbase (see last Sat night), state of the art FOF and a history of being able to compete at the top when everyone is pulling in the same direction has a lot more allure than most think. Especially if you are currently unemployed and hungry, or at a school where most of those things will never happen.
-
I'm still for Deion Sanders becoming the next Head Coach at Auburn and it is starting to look like it's coming down to the home favorite Carnell Williams and the fallback guy Hugh Freeze. The more experienced names are mostly searching for a bump in salary.
Lane Kiffen certainly isn't helping his case.

It's about an Auburnlike outcome with a limited scope because the outsider's mentioned are ill suited for the job of going toe to toe with Saban and Kirby in our little corner of the map.

You may be for Deion. You may think Freeze is the likely end result. I’m saying neither will happen.
Pretend it’s prom. You’re a single, successful guy. You just got out of a shitty, toxic relationship with a girl who nobody liked and who treated you like garbage.
You need a date.
Deion is the high school freshman who’s just growing into her body. She looks good, but she’s 15. She has to be home by 11 pm.
Freeze is the slut who fucked half the basketball team and then cried on the altar at the Freewill Baptist church. Claims to be redeemed but you know she’s been giving hand jobs in the Winn Dixie parking lot on Saturday Hutus. She’s already shown you her tits and said she’ll blow you in your car after the prom.
Most of the rest of the girls have dates. Despite your bruised ego, you know you’re good enough to take most of them if the offer was right. So you wait.
But you aren’t taking the baby or the whore.

Nebraska expressed slight interest in mark stoops - and today his salary per year went from 6.3 to 8.5. He’s a top 10 paid coach now. Unreal.

Two things that you can always count on in coaching searches are: 1. Fucking idiots with “behind the scene” info and hot takes. And 2. Funny men throwing stupid names out. Ha ha ha 😂 LOL …yeah, no one thinks you’re funny, dude, except you.
Most of this is propagated by little men who blew flutes in high school or are currently active at fagging.
Seriously, the routine is old.
All either of these do is hinder the decision making process for influencers. Just take my word.
Tone it down. You can have fun with it without hindering.
On a side note, I cannot share very much but Lane Kiffen has emerged as a leading candidate. I am not saying anything is for sure, yet.
I will say that it is very unlikely that Bryan Harsin is coming back. That ship has sailed, according to my intel.

I'm sticking with hooga booga.
Bo likes old school discipline hooga booga and Charles has given his blessings for hooga booga just days ago.
Who doesn't like hooga booga?

The reality is, that nobody outside of WT knows jack skwot about what's going on, or who they're talking to. For all we know, they may have never even contacted Lane Kiffin. It's all just media speculation anyway.
I know Deion hasn't been the target of that speculation in a while, but I'm of the opinion that he might be the perfect fit at the perfect time.
First, the guy is 23-5 as a head coach. He's been on the biggest stages possible, and knows what it takes to win. He has also assembled a very solid staff at Jackson State. We know about his personality and charisma, and that's a huge reason why I think he'd be the perfect fit right now.
The one thing I think we've seen with Caddy, is how players respond when they love and respect their coach. They seem to be having a blast out there, and playing for fun. This team is not very good. There are no illusions about that. Probably get run in Brunt Danny. But, they're busting their asses out there. I can live with that.
If you take that same attitude, and start getting some real talent through cruitin' and the port hole, it could turn around quick.

I'm team Prime-or-Caddy.
Don't want Kiffin or Freeze.
Don't want to take a flyer on Sonny Dykes or Grimes or whomever else is floated.
Prime and let him run the show.
Or Caddy and pay him poverty (relatively) wages of $2.5MM/yr and spend BIG on assistants.

One thing about what we're doing offensively that I love. Line up heavy on one side, pull some big hosses, and toss sweep that mofo. That used to be our 3rd and 8 play when we had Bo Jackson. 3rd and long? Pass? Hell no. Toss that thing out to Bo and let him get some momentum.
Old school!!!
-
Have seen the videos of Jackson State's old school workouts with Prime and Caddy choosing a run heavy offense with our iffy passing game.
-
He's been on the biggest stages possible.....
Just because he danced with MC Hammer that isn't a qualifier. If it is? Allow me to submit:
Gene Simmons
Elton John
Any member of BTS
Ozzy
Don Henley or
Britney Spears
Seriously, though? I still hate Deion from the FSU years. Never liked him as a Cowboy. I've been in the lockerroom with him when he was with the Reds and seen more of him than I ever wanted to. I don't think he's a bad guy, and maybe he turns into a great coach one day. He's not now.
The thing is, AU doesn't really need a coach. Nice to have, but today it's way more than that. The position requires an evaluator of talent, someone who can manage a staff, recruit, deal with media, deal with boosters, deal with alumni, make public appearances, and so on. That was where Gus fell off. He might be an innovative, amazing coach when that's all he has to do, but he never figured that out. Tried to do too much and ended up doing all of it poorly. You need rah-rah guys for sure, but your HC can't be that. His job is to put the pieces in place so that the team wins.
Deion's not there yet in my opinion. Neither is Carnell.
I love Carnell as a player, and as a human being. I watched the AU football review after both wins. He means well, but looks like he's being tortured. I don't want him to leave AU and hope whoever is hired realizes how valuable he is. Just not HC.

I remember that you used to keep up with the news, years ago. You were very knowledgeable regarding sports and politics. And I have always liked and respected you. I am very serious in saying that, so I’m not trying to set you up with an out of nowhere undercut. It’s true.
We all slow down some as we age. Look at Snaggletiger.
So, maybe you haven’t been able to keep up with exactly who is who and which is what. Apparently that’s the case. I mean, I assume.
You’ll be surprised to learn, I guess, that both of the names that you mentioned are black men.
Were you serious or just an honest mistake?

I would have had some memories with him at the motel in Milton, If he could have got it up.
I’m not trying to insinuate anything but I was trying to put a lot of woman on him and he was not interested.
Some pretty stellar pussy, most around here say.

Saban has proven it is much more important to have the best talent than it is to have the best coaches.
I have to believe Deion would recruit lights out.

I go back to Satan's Spawn, Kirby Smart, when he was dogging Dan Mullen about recruiting. He basically said that if you don't go get the players, you ain't winnin' in this league. No question the Neon one would start hauling in a bumper crop.
His personality and a wheelbarrow full of NIL Benjamins???? Lawt!!!

all I know there’s going to be a lot of disappointed Auburn fans.
regardless we’re a divided fan (football) base we need someone to pull us, the team and the university together.
none of those guys mentioned above can do what Pearl has done for AU basketball. i’m not sure who that is at the moment or even if that coach exists.

Pearl is obviously the exception to the rule. Very, very few people out there in the coaching profession who have that kind of personality and drive. He actually makes it a part of his job to try and unite the fan base and get them pumped up. On football weekends, he and his son ride through the tailgates, and will stop and get out amongst em'.
He gets it.
But honestly, when it comes to something as large as the football program at this level, winning the press conference and being a Trooper Taylor towel waver, only goes so far. There's only one thing that unites everyone....winning. Nick Saban is a dick head in every sense of the word. But he wins. They don't care what he's like. If Gus hadn't lost 4-6 games for 7 years straight, he'd still be the corch.

I dunno. Coach Neon Prime definitely has the charisma. A huge dose of chutzpah. As I said above, I think he'd be the perfect fit at the perfect time. But that's more with regard to attracting top shelf talent to the Planez. Is he Lord Bruce, in that he wants to be amongst his minions all the time, glad handing and pumping err'body up? I believe Pearl is probably unique in that respect. But the foosballz coach doesn't have to be. Just win, baby.

Kaos keeps me abreast of goings ons, personally. I do the same with him when I am able. Things are getting close to being finalized. It can’t always be talked about on the internet.
