I definitely do not want AU to get into a bidding war with TAMU for Muschamp. We don't win that one. They has the deep pockets and yes, we could run the bidding up but I don't think it's a good idea. Why do that when there are other solid options out there.
I don't know that the faggies are talking to him but I would suspect that they are.
I've never cared much for Muschamp. He's one of Saban's boys but that's not the reason. When he was here, I didn't like his ego that was as big as Bobby Petrino's. Mofo thinks very highly of himself and doesn't back it up as much.
Ex: He made fun of the fact that AU fans criticized the fact that our db's didn't turn for the ball when he was here. Well, guess what? They rarely played the ball. I understand that new coaching has them reading the WR's eyes and basically face guarding. I think the Gators likely did the same.
Then, the fiasco when he left. I don't like Jay Jacobs and especially Tim Jackson. I think Jackson is a queer. But, I just thought it was disrespectful to AU for Muschamp to have agreed in principal to the terms of a contract and then bolt at the last minute because he pissed about some trivial matter. Maybe there was more to the story but he should've got word out, if there was.
Also, he's good friends with Jimbo. Need I say more?
Anywho, I'm just not a big fan but I do think he's a good coordinator. Great? I don't know. I don't know that the Gators were great this year. I haven't seen stats, so someone enlighten me. But, I do know that they didn't look great to my eye test on the several games that I watched. They did look great vs the thugs but I thought Bama ended up softening them up.
I guess what I'm getting at is that I won't be disappointed if we don't land him and get someone with less star power. I'm sure that there are guys out there that Gus knows about that I've never heard of. That's fine with me. That may be the better bargain.
We don't need to spend $1 mil on a coordinator unless it's a very good bet. Champ may need a break. He's drained emotionally, I would think. And I doubt he's as hungry as a guy that is trying to make a name for himself, esp since he has a multimillion dollar buyout.
I won't be disappointed if it is but I won't be disappointed if it's not. That's all I've got to say about that.

Pellini wouldn't bother me at DC

I like Prowlers picks.....
Muschamp, Rhoades or Bo Pelini

Pellini wouldn't bother me at DC
Me either but he's a crazy mofo too. Like, batshit crazy. Weird dude.

Hearing from inside the AD that the interest in Muschamp is not as mutual as what people think. He is going to try to use Auburn as leverage during his interview with A&M today. Also, no Pelini.
-
Do.
Not.

Agree.
We need recruits and rumor while he was at LSU and at Nebraska is that he doesn't recruit. Garner and Smith can't do all the recruiting for the D. Unless there is more going on behind the scenes that doesn't get reported, it looks like Cheese and EJ haven't recruited much this year. I haven't heard a defensive recruit yet this year mention either one of them. It has been Garner, Smith and Craig.
-
I'm still not sure about Rhoades. He got the shaft here, but I think his defensive resume is very good. I wonder if he would come back?
I coached junior football with his college roommate and he seemes to think he enjoyed AU. But his tenure here was too short to really evaluate.
Should we even be looking at guys who have been head coaches aready?

I liked him. And we looked solid while he was here. Tubs was good at evaluating D Cors, imo.

Rhoads was Tubs' first choice when he hired Chiz - Rhoads kinda accepted, but then changed his mind when he got back to Pittsburgh, and Tubs hired Chiz

He didn't really get the shaft though, when Tubs was let go resigned. We hired Chizik, Iowa State hired Rhoads.
Has Rhodes been fired btw or are we just assuming he will be?

Again Head Coaches are different than as coordinators. Not saying you are wrong or right. Just a name that I wouldn't be upset with.
LSU was 34-6 during Pelini's time as coordinator. Just sayin
Bottom line Gus will pick the right motherfucker.

Whoever is named coach, if he's hired soon, he will get 15 bowl practices.

If it's not Muschamp, we need to be ready with other possibilities. I realize that some may object but you have to consider the number of years that Jerry Sandusky was all in at Penn State. When does he get out of the pen?

I think Sandusky would be invigorated and ready to work with a bunch of young men. He'd get behind them and push them hard, butt in the end, they'd respect him for it.

It is all over the Twatters that:
The Rock is coming home as D-Line coach.
And Takeo Spikes also indicated interest in being the LB coach.
Both rumors made me lightheaded and moist.

This would make me moist as well. I'd love to see Rock taking over the line but don't want to lose Garner for recruiting. Recruiting coordinator, mayhaps?
-
So are other D coaches leaving as well? Would Rocker and Garner split the d-line the way that Price and Dunn did under Tubs?

Would love it.
Not sure if Rock and Garner would though.
Garner's a big time recruiter. Rock created a Nick Fairley. The two together could create nuclear fusion on the line of scrimmage.
-
The only way I can imagine the Rock and Takeo rumor being true is if Garner has already been named DC. I'm not saying it is or isn't but I can't imagine Gus making hires for Muschamp.
-
:oh: reporting on 24/7 that we are making a major push to hire Muschamp. Said Gus has a short list of 3 coordinators and the other two are unnamed. JGT at Rivals and Chris Clark (USCe Rivals writer) have said that Odom from Memphis has been mentioned as being one of the other two. Clark also seems to think that USCe ends up landing Muschamp. Ryan Bartow of the UF Rivals site said Muschamp to AU is what he is hearing.
I hate that this is getting out like it has. It will get a lot of people excited and then a lot of people will be pissed when it doesn't happen.

So we are hiring Chizik for DC?
-
I am going to be surprised if it is anybody but Muschamp.
-
The only people that know are Muschamp, his family and his agent. And I doubt seriously any of them are leaking information to :oh: or anybody else. Suddenly everybody is an insider but just look where we are in less than 24 hours. Muschamp to TA&M. Muschamp to USCe. Muschamp to Auburn.
The reality is it could be Muschamp is burnt out and wants to spend a year on the SEC Network with no pressure. Enjoy his millions and sit in an easy chair breaking down foosballz til he gets an offer he wants.
-
So we are hiring Chizik for DC?
Exactly, wait, what?

247 reporting Texas A&M has offered Muschamp 1.5 mil to be their DC.

I thought it was Muschamp but if the 1.5 is accurate and thats what he wants, I say let him go to the Big 12 or whatever A&M is in this year.

Speaking of....Wes-Kansan's DC has been thrown out there as a possibility. (al. I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth..) Seriously stout defenses. Granted, against more plodding Big 10 offenses but still, a name to consider.
Whatever his name is.
-
We should think outside the box.
How happy can Tommy Tuberville really be in Cincy? Doesn't his son play for AU?
Put Malzahn's offense with Tuberville's defenses? The 3-2 MSU game becomes 333-2. Who wouldn't like that?

Will Muschamp, former Florida head coach
This is the hot name, and he has to be No. 1 on the candidates list. Will Muschamp spent two seasons as defensive coordinator under Tommy Tuberville. His Auburn defense topped the SEC in scoring defense in 2007 and ranked seventh nationally in 2006.
Could Muschamp sit out 2015? Some have talked about it. However, if he does decide to coach again in 2015, it will almost assuredly be in the SEC. Malzahn and director of athletics Jay Jacobs may have to outbid Texas A&M for Muschamp’s services, however.
The thought of a Muschamp-Malzahn combo should terrify the rest of the SEC, and it makes the most sense out of any of the candidates…almost too much sense.
Bo Pelini, former Nebraska head coach
Bo Pelini is an interesting target, because it’s unknown whether or not he’s interested in returning back to the coordinator level. The canned Nebraska coach is proven as an SEC defensive coordinator from his days at LSU, where his defenses ranked third nationally in all three of his seasons, which included a BCS national championship in 2007.
Pelini could take the Tommy Tuberville route and become a head coach at a lower FBS program, though it has been reported he’s interested in returning to the SEC.
The Malzahn-Pelini combo is also extremely attractive, but it’s not as attractive as the Malzhan-Muschamp tandem.
Manny Diaz, Louisiana Tech
Diaz could be the wildcard, but he could also be the best option. He possesses SEC experience, and has done a great job turning around the Louisiana Tech defense under Skip Holtz. His Bulldogs defense ranks 29th nationally in total defense in 2014, up from 63rd in 2013.
He struggled in two seasons at Texas toward the end of Mack Brown’s tenure, but had success as defensive coordinator at Mississippi State. His 2010 MSU defense allowed just 19.9 points per game and held Malzahn’s high-powered offense in check with Cam Newton in a 19-14 loss.
Diaz is a young, proven coach who has worked with offensive-minded coaches and done so successfully.
Dave Aranda, Wisconsin defensive coordinator
Aranda is an off-the-radar option, but if Malzahn is looking for someone with no SEC connections, it is believed the current Wisconsin defensive coordinator could get a look. His defense ranks second in the FBS in total defense allowing just 260.3 yards per game and fourth in scoring defense, giving up 16.8 points per game.
Charles Kelly, Florida State defensive coordinator
Kelly replaced the departed Jeremy Pruitt, in his first season as defensive coordinator at Florida State. He was on the defensive staff of Pruitt during last season’s national championship run. The Seminoles rank 27th overall in scoring defense and seventh in red zone defense.
Kelly is becoming a valuable commodity among the coaching ranks, but he also holds connections to Auburn and Malzahn. He played defensive back at Auburn under Pat Dye in the late 1980s and coached at Henderson State — Malzahn’s alma mater — in 1999.
Others: Could Auburn also look at Clemson DC Brent Venables? He has one of the top defenses in the country, and he’s also been linked to the Texas A&M job. Also, Memphis defensive coordinator Barry Odom is a potential target. Odom previously coached at Missouri, and has done a respectable job turning around the Memphis defense.

So...
DC/CB Coach Charles Kelly
DT Coach Tracy Rocker
DE Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Rodney Garner
LB Coach Kevin Greene
Safety Coach Charlie Harbison
-
Agree.
We need recruits and rumor while he was at LSU and at Nebraska is that he doesn't recruit. Garner and Smith can't do all the recruiting for the D. Unless there is more going on behind the scenes that doesn't get reported, it looks like Cheese and EJ haven't recruited much this year. I haven't heard a defensive recruit yet this year mention either one of them. It has been Garner, Smith and Craig.
I think you've got Coach Cheese and Smith confused. Cheese has a couple four star & three star commits...Coach Smith, none.

DC/CB Coach Charles Kelly

Not saying we don't need an animated DC to put a charge in our kids but this is the kind of guy that can have us where we need to be and actually stick around for a long time. Has all of the qualities we desire as a teacher and recruiter. Maybe not the loud, vein popping, tantrum throwing type but very dedicated to his craft. He might not be the big splashy hire but I like him over the other names that have been mentioned.
Fucksakes, if we only needed to dial up a stunt or blitz there is not a better combo than Roof/Rock yet the same old problems will still persist-poor tackling and coverage. I can get excited about any DC Gus brings in but I'm a little skiddish about any recently fired head coach ever truly getting on board.

I think you've got Coach Cheese and Smith confused. Cheese has a couple four star & three star commits...Coach Smith, none.

People have asked about the possibility of WT being interested in the D cor job but for the kind of money that is being discussed, it would be dumb for me to take a pay cut. If we were talking about Saban type money, it would be more of a lateral move and I would consider it. I don't really need the money but the people that I owe seem to think that it's important.
I really do think that if this thing tarries on and we don't have anyone named by Fri that Gus should seriously consider jmar. He talks a good game and it would hopefully keep him off of here, spouting off about the PX97 crossbuck corner blitz packages and shit like that.

That would be correct. If I'm not mistaken he was the coach that got into it with Jermaine Whitehead.
If that's the case, Auburn might snap up Memphis' DC/Safety Coach Barry Odom (similar aggressive style as Coach "Boom Mutha Fucka" Muschamp), then hire Kevin Greene as LBer Coach...or hire Coach BMF for $1.5 Mil (that's the rumored amount that aTm is throwing at him) and bring in UF Secondary Coach & former AU Tiger Travaris Robinson.

Word is, its also gonna take more to get him at A&M since its so far away from him and his wife's families and he values that highly. And that A&M even knows he is a long shot. It took UT making him an Asst HC and the HC in Waiting with huge incentives to even get him there. I think they are aiming at Venebles and Foster more realistically. Crazier things have happened though.
-
I don't know if anyone posted this. Doesn't matter. It will get more exposure when I post it, since I have more followers. I thought someone said that we were finished with the Cheezick payments. According to the al.com, we are not. We still owe a bunch to several coaches.
AUBURN, Alabama -- The top target in Auburn's search for a defensive coordinator is one of the most wanted men in college football.
Will Muschamp is being pursued by Auburn, Texas A&M and other potential suitors, and the salary it might take to get him could make him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football, even though Florida owes him more than $6 million in buyout.
Auburn likely won't flinch if landing Muschamp requires a salary higher than the ones Alabama's Kirby Smart and LSU's John Chavis are getting.
The highest-paid coordinator in college football this season is Smart, who makes $1.35 million per year, and the second-most is Chavis, who is getting $1.3 million.
Back in 2011, Auburn's athletics department proved it's willing to pay more than anybody else for the right coordinator. Under Gene Chizik, the Tigers made made Gus Malzahn the nation's highest-paid coordinator at $1.3 million per year, making the Tigers' staff the highest-paid group in the country, according to USA Today.
And the trend didn't stop when Malzahn hired his first staff at Auburn. The Tigers' initial salary pool ranked fifth in the nation, a number that may rise after Auburn assistants received raises that added $900,000 to the pool following last season's trip to the national title game.
Auburn's ability to pay its assistants top-dollar hasn't changed despite the $865,994 deficit the athletics department reported for the 2013 fiscal year, along with the buyouts still owed to four coaches.
Auburn is still paying former head coach Gene Chizik $209,457.84 per month, according to open financial records, through the 2015-2016 fiscal year, owes former basketball coach Tony Barbee $1.875 million in monthly installments that end in June of 2017, assistant coach Ryan Miller $15,833 per month through May of 2015 and now former defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson $850,000 per year through June of 2017, a figure that will go down if he gets another job.
Auburn owes all four coaches a total of roughly $7.1 million through June 2017, although the yearly total obviously drops as coaches come off the books at different times.
Those numbers likely won't deter Auburn from its pursuit of Muschamp.
Despite those buyouts, Auburn's athletic revenue is expected to rise after selling out all seven home football games and selling out basketball season tickets for the first time since the 1999-2000 season, plus the unknown windfall expected from SEC Network revenues.
Add it all up, and Auburn isn't likely to be priced out of the Muschamp sweepstakes.

Green has stated that he will not coach anywhere until his kids graduate HS.

He starts every practice with a rousing session of Bull-in-the-Ring.
Yup plus we don't get water breaks, have sexual intercourse or smoke that dope.

According to AuburnSports.com, Jay G. Tate, Auburn has offered Muschamp.
-
"Sources say Muschamp also has received a lucrative offer from Texas A&M, which fired defensive coordinator Mark Snyder on Sunday. Auburn has assured Muschamp that it will compete with any offer made by a university program, though at least two NFL organizations have contacted him with provisional offers."

This drill always made a lot of sense, didn't it? Just think of the number of times during a game that you have to spin around 360 looking for somebody coming full speed to try to spear you in the back.
Now, back when I was playing, we did the bull in the ring deal but all of the guys in the circle had hatchets. It made it more challenging than you pussies probably had to go through.

Oh my God. How did you find that old picture of my High School Coach, Gerald Stankuspy?
That man really got behind me and showered me with praise.

So I got a friend in South Carolina. He's convinced that Muschamp is coming there. Convinced to the point that he got furious when I laughed at the idea.
Is Muschamp to SC seriously a thing?

Morning media seems to think so. I don't expect Muschamp to do anything but test the water.

Except for the part where they have a DC still on staff. His name is Lorenzo Ward. Usually you fire one before you can hire another (except if you are Auburn 2003). Do SC fans know they still have a DC?

When he finally does go to a school, there are going to be at least two fan bases with a bunch of pissed off inside sources.

Will Muschamp to Auburn 'getting closer, according to my inside sources. Outside sources indicate this as well.
http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2014/12/will_muschamp_to_auburn_gettin.html#incart_m-rpt-2 (http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2014/12/will_muschamp_to_auburn_gettin.html#incart_m-rpt-2)
AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn's efforts to land Will Muschamp are nearing an end. The former Florida coach is nearing a deal to lead the Tigers' defense, if the parties can clear one snag.
Muschamp's deal with Auburn is "getting closer," according to FOXSports.com's Bruce Feldman, who cited a source late Wednesday night. The apparent snag in the deal is a "staffing issue," which "needs to be smoothed out," Feldman reports.
Auburn and Muschamp starting showing mutual interest Monday, a source told AL.com at the time. Muschamp was weighing other possibilities, including a job at Texas A&M.
Messages left by AL.com on Muschamp's phone have not been returned this week.
Auburn remains staffed on defense as it eyes a bowl game, but Muschamp will likely want to build on his own staff. Florida defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson, a former Auburn star, is likely one staff member Muschamp wants to add to his staff if he should come to Auburn.
Florida has expressed interest in Robinson staying aboard when its new coach comes aboard.
Auburn also has mainstays on its staff, including defensive line coach Rodney Garner, who returned to his alma mater in 2013 to help Malzahn's rebuilding efforts. Malzahn's courtship of Garner was one of the most interesting hires of Malzahn's tenure as he wooed the Georgia assistant back to the Plains.
Muschamp, who coached Auburn's defense in 2006 and 2007, finished his Florida coaching career Saturday in a 24-19 loss at Florida State. He was 28-22 in four seasons leading the Gators, including a trip to the Sugar Bowl following the 2012 season.
Muschamp's coaching chops as a defensive coordinator at Auburn and Texas landed him the job with the Gators in 2011. His Auburn defense led the SEC in scoring in 2007 and ranked seventh in the NCAA in 2006.
If Muschamp does land a coordinator gig on the college level, the veteran is in position to possibly become the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the country, surpassing Alabama's Kirby Smart ($1.35 million) and LSU's John Chavis ($1.3 million) in the SEC.
Malzahn fired Ellis Johnson as his defensive coordinator Sunday. Auburn paid Johnson a salary of $850,000 per year and will owe him $2.2 million in buyout money through June 2017.
Auburn's future coordinator will take over a defense that allowed 31 points or more in its final six SEC games of the season, the worst stretch in school history. Auburn has not ranked in the top 30 in total defense since 2008, when the Tigers allowed only 317.8 yards per game.

I'm also going to need you to verify your drill-press credentials.

Or it could be Durkin and TRob.
https://florida.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1711297 (https://florida.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1711297)
"Per a FootballScoop.com report from Tuesday, Foley and McElwain are in agreement that defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin and defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson, two of Florida's best recruiters on its staff, would be retained at a minimum."
-
Garner and Cheese have to be the "snags".
You could be right but I would think that Garner's recruiting alone would make him a valued commodity. Run stopping up front and pass rushing was lacking, fosho. But early in the year, I thought the D line was progressing nicely. Then, the brick wall (i.e. SEC meat of the schedule) came along.
I know that Cheese is well liked but damn. Just damn.
-

Garner is the only on I give a shit about.
-

True but why would that be a snag for au and coach boom? I was reading it as more of a boom wants these 2 new guys in those positions, and gus wants these 2 current guys in those positions.
-
It doesn't really matter. They can just give out those off the field coaching positions, like assistant to the assistant chancellor of vice quality production comptroller and let it fly. There is an endless supply of money on the loveliest village. We have lawyers too.
-

I would think that since TRob has been with him everywhere that he would want to bring him. Same as Durkin. If they are still under contract that would mean that AU has to pony up the buyout money, which could be a sang. Then again they may not want to come.
I would say that since Ellis and Cheese were BFF's that Cheese is just waiting for Ellis to get another job or is looking to bolt anyways. Then again, it might be that Gus wants to keep them.

Remind me which one is cheese again?

Co Cheese = Charlie Harbison???
I was wondering the same thing.

Actually that one is in Jonesboro Arkansas. You are thinking about the one who coached our RB's.

The only reason he thought this is because they are both black, which is an incredibly racist thought btw.
But, yes, I think Lupe followed his son to Tx. Trooper was at Arky St the last I heard.

You people have lost focus. This thread is about Auburns new DC only!

That would be correct. Lupe followed his son to TCU and Troop is coaching his son at Arky St.
