whoever he be. We need him for bowl game practice and to secure recruits. Let us get going.
I was misinformed that we would be informed today. Looks like a swing and miss on Kelly. I suspect he wanted too much money due to fear of Gus being close to the hot seat.
I think McNeil would be my next choice.
And we could do much worse than Lance Thompson but he is supposedly a hell of a recruiter. Have no idea how he'd perform as the main man but think he does have some d cor experience iirc. Wasn't it at Ucf or usf? I don't care to google.
Was hoping we'd have this squared away for weekend recruits but I haven't been keeping up with who we are seeing or hosting. When does dead period start?
Some of you need to get off the fat ass and update these things. I'm working on getting a DC and don't have time for this.
I'm tired of having to do all of the work around here.

I'm calling fake account. The real Eltoro Freeman would have suggested Charlie.

We did it Charlie!

Just a thought but how about Craig Kuligowski? Mizzu d-line coach. Could certainly use the help there. I've been trying to find more info on the type of defenses he works with. He could help Garner and still have Thompsons recruiting prowess. Get him cheap and sway some good linemen recruits.

FSU is giving Kelly a raise, and the amount it would have taken to land him was "obscene". Sorry, he just aint worth that kind of money. In fact, the little brats I call the FSU "fan" base were wanting him gone last year.

Marcello tweeted bf midnight that no formal talk with Allen had taken place.
Thompson is the Interim and nothing will be decided until after Birmingham.

Gus tells Broussard he would have one hired by Sunday. Whiffff
Gus tells Threatt he would have one hired by Wednesday. Probably another whiffff....

Not sure if he specifically said that he'd have one hired or that Auburn would have their DC by last Sunday. Thompson was named the DC.

Again, why would a recruit coming/enrolling AFTER all of this care about who the interim is?

Maybe Thompson isn't the interim. He has pretty good credentials.

Hiring a new DC as soon as possible is essential for recruiting, IMO. But, if we don't see someone hired soon, I would imagine the Ham Bowl will be an audition of sorts for Thompson.
Question. When is the "Dead period" for recruiting?

when Muschamp left?
or we could take when Malazahn came to the Plains for 600 hundred.

WOTS...Anyone want to see Auburn's next DC? He's on ESPN right now, USF's DC Tom Allen.

He only gave up 45 points today!!! We need to sign him to a long term deal with a huge buy out.

Yeah, go ahead and give him the buyout now...Then hire a better DC.
All kidding aside, Tom Allen is a pretty damn good coach. One game, against one of the top offenses in the Country, should not a coach be judged by. You know that Kirby Smart fella? Yeah his defense, with his players have up 620+ yards against Auburn last year, albeit that was with a dual threat QB, but still that was around the most yards Auburn has piled up in Iron Bowl history. Smart was still considered to be a prize get.
WKU put up over 420 yards against LSU, Auburn put up 260. I would not mind it if Lashlee gets let go and Auburn brings in the WKU OC.
-
The almost 500 passing yards by western ky bother me more than the 45 points.
That said, that game was kind of fun to watch. One team had 615 yards. One had 500. Fun stuff.
-
Again, more worried about Gus figuring out his offensive shit then who we hire to coach the defense. Maybe I'm short sided.

Irregardless, I agree with the GF in this instance. Instead of worrying about the rumor and in your windows we've been hearing about the DC spot, we should be much more focused on Gushlee's offense getting back untracked.

Well for all intensive purposes, you may be right but I can't see us letting good defensive coordinator candidates fall by the waste side. As for firing Lashlee, I think that would just be Gus making him the escape goat.

Maybe so, but there are some deep-seeded issues on that side of the ball. While the DC search has peaked my interest, I am much more worried about the offense.

^^This. Yay tho we walked through the shadow of Jeremy Johnson and broke QB rating record lows, he wasn't our ONLY problem.
My add on concers are qb depth, recruitment, selection, and development. I agree with jmar that we need a full time qb corch.
And of course play calling was suspect but that hinges on QB play, I believe.

I just think we need to nip this thing in the butt and hire a DC asap.

With the French benefits offered up by JJ and Company we should've already had a top-tear DC in place by now.

Have no idea how Allen will work out at DC. But I loved him in Home Improvement and The Santa Clause 3.

Bring in Tom Allen or promote Lance Thompson and bring in Kevin Greene (OLB Coach), hire a damn good DB Coach, get JF3 and Woody to campus, forge their grades if need be, tell Jeremy Johnson that Coach Pearl needs to see him in his office, teach Sean White how to hold the football for extra points and field goals...then get the player's ring sizes because we'll be on that Championship Train. Choo choo mutha bitches!!!!

..and the contenders are... at least according to the internet who is never wrong...
Tom "The Toolman" Allen

Take your pick.

Manny Diaz would be a great hire.
With Ted Roof, I'm not so sure. I still remember one game where they showed the coaches on the sidelines and, reading lips, Coach Roof asked Coach Chizik, "should I call that play" (not sure what play it was) and Chizik responded back with, "yeah it's your job, do your damn job." The resulting play gave up about 35 yards on 3rd and 12.

Roof's defense was a weak, bend-don't-break scheme...but...I have seen few coaches that can make halftime adjustments like that guy.

It was mentioned on our local show a few minutes ago but they were just saying the message boards were big on that rumor. Hadn't heard Chris Lowe is saying it. That at least gives it some legs.
I agree it's odd but I think Jacobs and Malzahn are in 2016 Hot-Seat mode and will shell it out to get the best they can.

God, no.

Which is why Steele's name in the mix is odd.

He is hit n miss. He shut down TT's #2 O last night. But also gave up 70 at Clemson in 2012 (I think). Saban thought enough of him to have him as DC and he did well there. And I dont think Saban would hire someone he thinks is a shitty coach, as particular as he is about stuff. That said, would he be any worse than what weve had?? Its obvious Steele knows the SEC and knows Defense (X and O wise) but would it translate on the field? He seems to have stretches of lapse. But so did Muschamp againstr UGA and Arky his first go round on the Plains. Steele seemed to do ok this year down in red stick, and thats especially telling since until last night, they had 0 qb play and became 1 dimensional on O. I havent looked but I have to think they didnt win the TOP battle very much after mid season, when D's started keying in on LF.
My natural inclincation is to say "God, no" as I did above, but in reality Steele is really a mixed bag.
-
God, no.
Saban coaching tree. The hell you say.
And that Leonard Fournette was pretty good last year.

At least he had an offense with a dimension at LSU.
-
Steele seems to have a pretty decent resume and has been at some big time programs from Nebraska to Turdville to LSU. Had a failed stint as a head corch with Baylor and corched with the Panthers in the National...Football...League. I've always heard he's a top notch recruiter but that may have just been Bammer blather. That's the extent of my knowledge on the guy, some of which came from the wiki's. Asking seriously:
Why would this not be considered a good hire? What's the aversion for some with Steele?

You begin to question if it was a Van Gorder type move; especially since LSU returns almost every player.
-

Good question. A quick check of K's Googled Chromes shows Steele is currently making a cool $1 million with $125K in incentives. On the surface, I'd say there's no reason to throw Muschamp money at this guy. Seems it would be a good hire but to up a $1 million a year salary significantly?
But then, this is Jay Jacobs and Auburn.
-

I'd be hard pressed to leave a defense that had Arden Key. That kid is seriously good. LSU two-deep has at least ten freshmen and sophomores, nine juniors.
Am I excited over Kevin Steele leaving that to come to AU? Not so much. LSU people say he didn't mesh with Orgeron and given the choice of keeping one or the other, Miles sided with yaw yaw yaw.
-
But then, this is Jay Jacobs and Auburn.
I'd give him $500,000 per game, with a bonus for every quarter the opponent scores less than 21, and a discount double check for every win. No buyout whatsoever except the one we have to pay him if he fails (eleventy three million if he's fired) or what we pay him if he takes another job (forty sixtillion if he is hired as DC by another school, sexteen kabullion if he takes a head coaching job at a rival).
Work it out, Jay.

Lester isn't as stupid as he appears. Would like to have O coaching our D.

In the end, their D this year was 'good'. Not Bama or even UGA, but it was good. Top 30. And thats with 70% underclassmen. Apparently, at LSU that gets you a noose. At Auburn doing that, he would be King of the Town. Perspective.

Only if Auburn's offense is worth a shit. Not sure top 30 would win shit with our offense looking like this year...

I have to think like what GF or someone else said a while back....that the O being like this is more an anamoly than the norm. If White plays the whole year, Top 30 would have won a lot of games. Its better than being 90th I guess.
-
Looks like all fingers point to Steele. Did not see this coming at all. I'm wondering all long Gus knew this and perhaps all the other names were just a smoke screen. Just looks like Gus knew for a while and was waiting of LSU to finish up their game.

Somebody please tell me the last time an Auburn defense:
1) Didn't give up big plays because people were out of position and fingerpointing after the fact
2) Didn't concede passes over the middle
3) Played a complete game from the first snap to the last
4) Didn't have a lapse that lasted at least a full quarter where it got gashed and gassed
5) Didn't let a one-legged quarterback escape for long first down runs
6) Slipped blocks and knocked the dick out of receivers on bubble screens
7) Didn't whiff on multiple tackles and allow huge gains from what should have been losses
8) Kept pressure on the quarterback even from three and four man rushes
9) Responded to multiple turnovers by turning the opposition back
10) Held an opponent to well under its season scoring and yards-gained average
11) Got off the fucking field on third down
Seriously. When?

Malzahn just confirmed Steele as DC.

Malzahn just confirmed Steele as DC.
So, the question is whether Malzahn allows him to bring his own peeps in for that side of the ball. Would love to see him retain Happy Pants Lance. Not just because of what he did today, but I really thought our LB play showed solid improvement throughout the season. Frost is what he is. He's kind of penthouse or outhouse. But I'm stoked as hell about the way Tre Williams is playing right now.

Before today....Rhoades was the DC the last I remember.
We have our game of the year WITHOUT our overrated DC, against the #1 rated QB in the country. F that noise that was WM. I feel bad for SC though falling for that hype.

I have to submit the anomaly that was the mugging we gave Chip Kelly and Oregon in the 2010 Championship Game. That was perhaps the only other great defensive performance in the last seven or eight years.

Sadly I think he gets to own that 73 or so that WV put on Dabo in the Orange Bowl a few years back. Other than that he's pretty solid.

I think I'm caring less about Steele being hired or Thompson leaving. Until an entire change in culture, philosophy, and atmosphere occurs in the program, we will be relying on a high scoring offense with a defense that is "bend but don't break." Just get us some consistency in the coaching staff, forget recruiting ultra-talented guys, and have a defense that can average 29 points a game while our offense averages 30. That's how Malzahn wins, and he'll be fired if his offense can't hit the 30 mark.

Disagree. I'll give Gus credit for one thing. He's doing everything he can to get the best players and coaches possible on the defensive side of the ball. Has been since he was hired. Don't dare stop recruiting 4* and 5* kids for your defense. Bama's not. Ole Mi$$ is in the arms race. So is Georgia and Florida and LSU. If a coach leaves...and they do all the time at every program. How many DC's did we go through in CTT's tenure? Find the best you possibly can to replace him. Gus is doing that. Whether or not Steele is the man to get it done, time will tell. But Gus just hired LSU's DC. He's doing everything he can.
I still hold that a lot of our problem (Not QB or play calling) comes from the wrong philosophy in the weight room. I watched several times last night when Bama D-Linemen threw their man to the ground like rag dolls. It was complete and utter domination because it was a bunch of full grown men facing boys. But under Gus, I'm afraid that's the part that's not going to change. Anyway, that's a debate for another day. I say don't take your foot off the gas. Never stop getting the best players and coaches you can and keep working to improve your defense.

We stood up physically against Alabama for three quarters and performed as well as we could (better than most) considering the lack of execution/play calling by the offense. Some of what goes into being deemed a four or five star recruit is work in the weight room over and beyond ones natural abilities. Alabama has a decided depth advantage over every team they play and have since Saban's second or third season.
The teams that have beaten them had front line talent to go toe to toe with them and score points against them while they were "managing" the ballgame. Kiffen was brought in to open things up somewhat while still maintaining that power run/play action identity.
Under Malzahn we expected to be sitting where Dabo Swinney has his program. Clemson has stayed true to form with the dual threat QB after failing with the baseball player Kyle Parker. Beyond that, they recruit a near top five class every season. They noted our formula from 2010 and they built on it while we went backwards in the many ways that THS described above which resulted in the firing of Chizik.
We stumbled out of the gate this season and only slightly recovered. The defense began to play better after the LSU beatdown.
Jovon Robinson appeared but there was the QB diliemma (either/or and both) on top of that goddamned point killer, the wildcat. It's certainly Legatron's best friend.
The answer is to stay with what you know with the best Jimmy's and Joe's.
And we all know that a dual threat QB capable of executing the zone/read is what this offense requires. Varoom!

Let's hope so. We lose four LBs including all three starters.

Yes, we were a QB away from having a real chance to win the Iron Bowl. Along with several other games. And yes, Malzahn needs to find a QB to run what he does best and stick with it. But the Iron Bowl is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. We didn't rush for 100 yards and they had ONE back that rushed for more yards than Auburn's TOTAL yardage. You can play inspired defense and hang in there. And you damn well better in the Iron Bowl. But at the end of the day, that's called getting your ass whipped in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
A legit QB is going to cure a lot of ills. But I'm hoping Steele comes in and demands that his front 7 be as strong and physical as possible.

Agreed, but until Gus can force feed his players PED's with no fear of any retribution, he won't have the same kind of D Line.

Post Bryant- pre Stallings and during their turbulent years prior to hiring Saban...those were the years we actually beat them up front on both sides of the ball; but it's more of an anomaly and more often we have competed at a disadvantage and it's all but a given throughout the history of the rivalry.
Those fans who appeared during the Tuberville years have a somewhat distorted perspective.
And even in our most recent wins against them we might have fought them to a draw up front and needed late heroics to pull it oiff. That's just part of being an Auburn fan in this series. We aren't going to dominate Alabama!

Are you shitting me? Oh well, everybody gets the jump on us for the best. We might have at least called the guy before Les snatched him up.

We got LSU's DC, Kevin Steele. He's one of the big names out there. Auburn took him from LSU's hooks.

I am curious to see the staff he puts together.
Anyone think the Kevin Greene as LB coach a real possibility?
