Jimbo reportedly donezo...after putting up a 51-10 W!
-
$70+ million dollars to go away.
Hope you all bought gas yesterday because you are about to fund this.

What are they going to do with this?

If Texas A&M follows through with firing Jimbo Fisher, his $75 million buyout would be more than the buyouts of…
1. Tommy Tubberville - $5MM
2. Gene Chizik - $11MM
3. Gus Malzahn - $21MM
4. Bryan Harsin - $15MM
COMBINED.

Rumbling already going around about bringing D Craig back to the Plains. I am not sure how I feel about that.

Kodi, Dameyune, TWill.... all the young turks! Could we get Trooper, Looper, and Duper too? And what about Rodney Garner?

I heard a long time ago that DC burned the bridge to AU and I think the final straw was when he left the last time. Wasn’t it to go to LSU with Jimbo? Anyway, he left us high and dry, talked us down on the recruiting trail and did some things apparently behind the scenes to rub a couple of boosters the wrong way. I have no idea what or if that’s true but the words were that: “that ship has sailed.”
I believe them because Snags is usually in on the high level negotiations for hiring and firings of coaches, getting cash to recruits and now NIL deals. He knows what the fuck is going on.

Snags doesn’t know what is happening in his own office. The only cash he has is $2.35 to buy a beer on the way to the house.
I can’t believe you buy what he’s selling. You are dumber than me listening to the Craig rumors.

You don’t think that Snags could just be pretending to not know what the fuck is going on? Some people are good at pretending to be a dumbass and then they are able to surprise the opposition.

I really, really dislike Jimbo, but he is definitely not the idiot in this situation... Texas A&M is.
Something I was listening to the day following his firing stated something to the effect of, "Jimbo is getting paid more to NOT coach college football than Jameis Winston has gotten paid the entirety of his NFL career." Now, I dislike Jameis Winston about as much, if not more than Jimbo. However, it is out of control how much these folks are getting paid to coach football. Salaries need a cap and buy outs need to go away completely. None of that will ever happen, but it would be good for the sport.

I enjoy silly season when it's not us being silly.
I saw Arkansas fans debating what it would take to draw Kirby Smart from Georgia. "There has to be a number, right? And we've got better facilities and a better fanbase..."
I've seen ESPN humping Deion to A&M. "Make it happen!"
I've seen Mississippi State fans tossing around names like Lane Kiffin and Freeze (who does seem extremely unhappy at the moment).
-
I am not sure what UCLA expects. They are not elite. They've never been elite. They win games, make bowls, put dudes in the NFL, and stay out of the bad press. Maybe they don't make enough money (one of the reasons for going to the B1G, allegedly), but how is it Chip Kelly's fault people in friggin' Los Angeles aren't that into college football?
Teams like UCLA, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Arkansas need to take a long look in the mirror and come to terms with their future.
The 12 team playoff? Pffffttttt! That's not going to be open to their ilk. That's going to be a super exclusive club. And they ain't in it.

In truth UCLA's attendance for home games is little more than that of Illnois who draw even less than Big Ten powerhouse Indiana.

He did 4-5 weeks ago.
Hes looked happier than a pig in shit the last 3 weeks. Add to that the new grandkid.....Telling a certain cancer in the locker room to F off will do that to a guy.
Lane and Hugh probably laughed their asses off seeing that. There are fair criticisms of both those guys personally but to think either of them would leave where they are, to step into the absolute disasters that are Ark and MSU? It's almost a comedy sketch.
Gus was smart to know the ship with Ark has sailed....I think that's what sealed Pittman's fate in more than likely remaining. In reading Hogville, it seems to be the prevailing thought that the feelers they put out to anyone they thought would be better, were met with zero interest - nutshell: They think Pittman is the best they can do right now.

Northwestern removes tag, names David Braun head coach
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38906485/northwestern-set-give-david-braun-head-coach-title-sources-say (https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38906485/northwestern-set-give-david-braun-head-coach-title-sources-say)
Adam Rittenberg and Pete Thamel
Northwestern has promoted interim football coach David Braun to the permanent head-coaching role, the school announced Wednesday.
Braun, hired in January as defensive coordinator by former coach Pat Fitzgerald, has led Northwestern to five wins, more than the team's combined win total from the past two seasons (four). He is the first Northwestern coach to win five games in his first season since Walter McCornack in 1903.
"I am truly honored for the opportunity to continue leading Northwestern's football program," Braun said in a statement. "Over the past five months, having the chance to lead this group has been the opportunity of a lifetime. Moving forward, my mission is to build on this positive momentum, aiming to create one of the best experiences in college football for our student-athletes."
Northwestern's staff was informed earlier Wednesday afternoon that Braun would be promoted, sources told ESPN. A news conference to introduce Braun is set for Thursday.

You’re missing the point here. Thamel is a damn liar. Period. It was a general statement, not really specific to this situation. He makes stuff up - has an extensive track record of doing so. He speaks in certainties and claims to have inside knowledge. He does not.
If you want to champion him because he made a handful of predictions that came to fruition while ignoring the tons of other things he’s completely wrong about? That’s all on you.
I won’t ever trust anything he says.

Although I find Thamel to be a dick with ears and I agree with Kaos on most matters, I’m going with you on this one, 6.
The reason is because you stated your argument in all caps and with multiple exclamation marks. ‼️ would have been better and a few “go fuck yourself” would have added some flavor. But, who am I to judge?

Hes a "sound" coach no doubt. But he is not who they wanted.
Not quite as bad as the UT/Schiano/Pruitt fiasco but Elko was on down their list. He may be who they SHOULD have had higher but Aggie is big on perception and Elko was not an impact hire for them in that regard.....according to them. The ego is big there.

Or maybe their $$$$ people looked at what it was gonna cost to pull Stoops out of Lexington and realized they could get the same thing for a lot cheaper pulling Elko out of the Triangle. They got a good coach who may not win the presser, but they've already paid a lot chasing that.

I think Elko would do good if Aggie sits back for 2-3 years, writes checks and lets him do his thing. But they are about as bad as Auburn in that regard.

Quite true.
Reality is the SEC as we knew it is over now. Next year is going to be so different.

Unlike Schiano at Penn State - wasn't Lebby actually heavily involved in the scandal with Briles at Baylor?

Agreed. Elko is a solid hire who may blossom into something great if given the chance. He's not going to blow up the monied-boosters' collective skirts, though.

Yeah he's Art Brile's son in law.
' Baylor student Dolores Lozano mentioned Lebby as a coach who took no action against running back Devin Chafin following claims that he physically assaulted her three times. Following Briles' firing, Lebby defended him and sold shirts to show support of Briles.

And Miss State did their due diligence on this I assume?? Holy hell.
From Mississippi State Athletics:
"As we continue to invest in excellence at Mississippi State, the future of our football program is incredibly bright with the addition of Jeff Lebby at the helm," Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. "I am confident that Jeff is the perfect leader for the next exciting chapter of Mississippi State football. He will bring an exciting brand of football, elite student-athlete development, and a winning culture to Starkville, all while doing so with high integrity. He is a dynamic recruiter who will attract an elite coaching staff and the nation's top talent. There is no doubt in my mind that Jeff's leadership, vision, and resilient work ethic will take this program to incredible heights. We could not be more excited to welcome Jeff, his wife Staley, and their children Kora and Kane to the Mississippi State family. It is a great time to be a Bulldog and only going to get better."
"I want to commend MSU Athletics Director Zac Selmon for leading a very comprehensive and thorough national search that produced Coach Jeff Lebby as our new head football coach at Mississippi State University," MSU President Mark E. Keenum said. "Coach Lebby is one of the most innovative offensive minds in college football and I look forward to him leading our football program to the standard our loyal Bulldog fan base wants and deserves."

It’s obvious that Kaos isn’t going to be easily won over to the cold side. So, I am thinking that now that Jimbo, Terry and Harper are all available, that we should make a move.
We should fire our entire staff, hire these 3 offensive geniuses and sprinkle in element of both the potato gang and the BBQ boys left overs.
Any of Dye’s boys would just be gravy.
If we get some elements of all 3, then we can build a float that reads “Eat Me” and ride it in the Alabama Homecoming parade.

So more than 1 school realizes now that the dude is a con artist. How many more will it take before his musical chair act is up? I wanted to like the guy. But everything I heard that went on in the complex and under his tenure was just inexcusable. Perhaps that's why the "Deputy" roles. Keep dude away from FB operations.
-
Indiana just signed James Madison's corch, Curt Cignetti. Kicked ass at JM, and was the recruiting dude that helped put Bama on the map in the late 2000's.
Sounds like a good hire, but why would you want to go to a perennial doormat, in a league that's just added USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington?

This but not really. Because what you speak is true but I hope they deeply involve him. They are old friends (Greene and AD) so he may do well in the assistant role. He was NOT ready for prime time.
I did respect his daring decision to go it alone but it turned out about like most of my daring decisions. Not worf a fuck.

First sane thing you've said in 6 months. Okay, 7.
Whether the Barron Von Harsin hire turned out or not, it blew the narrative of, "Those evil, nefarious boosters pull all the strings", out of the water.

I'll go on record that Sean Lewis is an upgrade for the Aztecs because at least they'll field a functional offense. David Braun, so far, is the best of what Fitz was at Nwestern minus the scandals. Same for Smith at Michigan State who, as far as we know, doesn't wank on the phone with trauma specialists. I wonder if Boise State won't ultimately regret this; seems like the emotional hire, but maybe that's what they needed.
WOTS is Nevada wants Harsin but they are so broke they can't make it work. They might be rolling back to FCS level just to survive.

not a huge fan of him as a DC but as a HC he did decently at Vandy with 2 bowls. And he did try to sound the alarm bells on Potato Boy before the Public caught on to the asshole's ruse. He may do ok there - a lower profile place in a state where he has inroads with HS's.

I watched the game between Gulf Shores and Ramsay last night. GS won the championship, but it was wayyy closer than it should have been. Up 21-6 at half, in the second half, they fumbled 3 times, had a punt blocked and missed a field goal from the 3 yard line that would have put the game away. That team has speed, speed, speed.
However, probably have this season vacated unless the allegations against them haven't been resolved. Don't know the status of that, but the accusation is that a sporting goods company, Gulf Coast Athletics, was paying rent for families of athletes who had transferred in to the program. For whatever reason, the rent stopped, and GCA got sued for it. If it's found to be even remotely true, the hammer will drop.
Unless someone is on the take at the AHSAA, they don't frick around with that stuff.

Happy Friday to all my fellow Auburn outkast...so its said, no there hasn't been any new kids added to the 20+...

We are trading Zac for T-Rob, Caddy for Dell and Jarquez for Quinshon.
Or nothing at all. One or the other.

this belongs in the portal thread but since its related to coaches.....Cobb and Kaylin Lee are being approached very aggressively to leave. Some think it has to do with the departure of Crime Dog and RUMORS of Carnell in flux. TIFWIW as always.

RUMORS of Carnell in flux
This part. I have zero inside info here but this makes no sense unless LAC is getting his wings for a OC spot somewhere in the G5. Seems the info coming out of the HF office is on lockdown, so this must just be speculation...started by a bammer or a disgruntled fan complaining that AU didnt recruit any RBs this cycle...

Doesn't make a lick of sense to me either. There's still time, though.

It's because they do things on their timeline not ours. But you guys will be getting your wish pretty soon it seems......
With that said, a quick nugget from the rivals pay site:
So Crime McGriff already has left the staff and headed for Texas A&M.
We know Charles Kelly was has been hired, though it hasn't yet been announced by the university. We're still not sure exactly how he fits into the hierarchy. We think this will come into focus soon.
As I've said a few times both here and on the Brain Drain, we anticipate a few more changes and that likely will continue today. Offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery appears on the precipice of a change insofar as he didn't exactly vibe with Freeze from a philosophical standpoint. I don't think anyone here would be surprised by that.
We're also keeping a close eye on defensive coordinator Ron Roberts, who did some strong work on the field this past season but isn't a factor in recruiting. Is Freeze sufficiently satisfied and/or good with that? It's still unclear. If Freeze isn't satisfied/good, now is the time to act.
We will keep you updated throughout the day.
Also to add from ON3, so extreme amount of TIFWIW (although I like Jeff Lee, just not Hoke):
Carnell in flux
Zack in Flux
Monty all but gone
T-Rob coming hAUme (locks down Ryan Williams)
T Reed possibly promotion
Kelly's role unclear

LAC needs to learn how to hit the trail better and get consistent RB play for 900K before thinking about an OC position. Sorry not sorry. Love the dude, but at this point hes an avg coach and avg recruiter. Take away Thorne and Ashford from the rushing stats, and we are 11th in conference. Repeat - OUR RB's are 11th in CONF. Our OLINE actually grades out pretty well too on Run Block. Think on that.
Cobb is his guy. The others were landed by others. So it's a deep room but that isn't all on him - the production on the field is. I want Carnell to stay but hes got to up his game.

I love Caddy but trust Hugh to make the decisions.
I’d love to see the age old Dell McGhee name float around as OC. And it finally be true. Regardless, any new OC.

You actually need to do a lot more than read the creed. You have some character issues that need addressing and it very well may take some intense counseling. I only say this because I care.

Don't know how you feel about Jake Crain but he's adamant about bringing in Dameyune Craig or Dell McGee to just recruit and gameplan with Hugh as the principle playcaller. I'm okay with Lashee mostly because he's been a success everywhere except for the Gus experience.

I just took it as Freeze calls the plays so just replace Montgomery with the best recruiter available which I would hope has Auburn ties.
The incoming kids already know how to catch a ball just need them to line up correctly and someone that can get it in their hands.

Haven't we been through this before? We need a head coach that calls the plays! No, he's going to let hos coordinator. No, he's going to take control now, because it SUCKS. Our head coach should call the plays!
NO. No, hell, we don't. We need a head coach who can effectively RUN. THE. PROGRAM.
How many plays does Saban call? How many does Harbaugh? Kirby? Kelley? Drunktits (bad example)? Lanning? Pick a good coach. How many of them are standing there with a laminated sheet making in-the-weeds playcalls?
If that's what he has to do, he should step aside, take the role of OC and let somebody with management skills take over the program. Same with Gus. Those guys are career offensive coordinators and pretty decent recruiters masquerading as head coaches. They've peter principled themselves into a job they can't handle.
UGHHH.. Just freaking UGHHHH..

Hey I dont care who does it.
Just want somebody that can do the job show continuity and take ownership.
Don't give a fuck what they say in the lead up or postgame only want positive results without any scandals. Never thought you should be lavished with praise for doing what you were hired to do, win football games.
Bamer's want Rees gone for two loses but a great many of them are likely walking the aisles of their local DG looking to gank a box of chestnut brown hair coloring so they can be like Nick.
It beams like a halo when the sun strikes it just right.

I realize I'm the only one standing over here looking at the alarm bells, and I'm okay with that.
But a good coach doesn't dump both coordinators in his first season. That reeks of poor judgment (bad hires) and is not something that should generate any confidence. If you're stepping into a high profile job, one that comes with high expectations, scrutiny, and demands -- one that pays millions -- you don't start by making two piss poor hires at your most important positions.
Yeah, we wanted them gone because the product on the field was inconsistent and at times putrid. But that falls on a beaver who, for some reason, seems immune from accountability.

Saw where Freeze said he didn't think he did a good job and I agree with you. There might be some internal squabbles but he has to manage that to build some continuity.
The defense was good for the most part. Created as many turnovers as we have seen in a while.
Offense was mostly absent in response.
I'm critical because there's a pecking order in the SEC West and there's so little room for excuses.

kaos, you're not wrong [probably]. embarrassing, it took 2 minutes in the bowl game to firm my mid season doubts about Hugh. doubts, is he the future of Auburn football? can we be competitive year after year with our long standing rivals and new comers? i don't necessarily need or want a championship. show me good quality football in game plans and athletes. i saw ass this season but, but we almost be Bama. you know what we didn't. the muff punt was not just the player ...it's about coaching. 4 and 31 ...shit should have never happened. but we didn't have Hugh's players ...how many times have we heard that, said that and look at us now?.
my enthusiasm has been tamed tremendously. outlook ...not sure but it's definitely different than september 2nd.

Yes. We are doomed. There is nothing to live for....
PM was supposed to run the offense so CHF could recruit and manage the team. It was obvious that he could not do the job at the SEC level. He had to go.
Roberts did a fine job with the the coaching. However, it seams he is not a very easy person to get along with. And he has not reached the level that he can treat people like crap and get away with it. That is why McGriff left. And that is why K. Scott was leaving. So he wasn't a bad hire from an X and O perspective. But he turned out to be a bad fit culturally. It happens. You hope it doesn't happen your first year along with the other guy getting canned. But you have to make the tough choices. We will probably see a couple of more leave.
Is it ideal? Not at all. And make no mistake, the shithole AU had become, coaches were not lined up to get on board.
I'm not sure who will be the new DC, but there are some good coaches surrounding whomever it may be.
Very few coaches are surefire hires these days. We have a couple more seasons to see how this one will turn out. If CHF keeps getting the recruits, we should be OK. And if not, the next guy will at least be loaded.

If you make $60,000 as the HR Manager for the local Arby's franchise, you can hire a couple of people who don't work out.
If you're making $6.5 million as the CEO of a Fortune 500 level company? You can't screw up hiring the COO and CFO to the point you have to whack both in the first year. Not a cultural fit, bad attitude? You have to do due diligence and know that ahead of time. Unable to do the job? That guy has to be vetted. You can't be blindsided by that.

Letting Montgomery go was a no-brainer, and I think most would really question Free if he didn't pull the plug. It will be interesting to see if CHF takes over the offense, or gives the new OC the reigns.
Roberts, I have no clue. I thought he did a decent job with less than stellar overall talent. DB's were really good, but not much else. Defensively, Auburn was squarely in the middle of the pack, at 7th, allowing 22.6 points a game. I'd have to go with, as some have suggested, there were some serious personality conflicts going on. I think the fact that Florida snapped him up (See what I did there?) points to the issue not being one of teh corchings.

I don’t think that one play was the deciding factor but I almost think it was. It certainly was a factor. If 4th and 31 wasn’t completed and we had sent an extra guy to have SOME kind of QB pressure? ANY kind of pressure? Would he have kept his job?
I think it was that big of a play for Auburn. I actually think he may still be here, so, it actually may have come down to one play.

May have been the unforgiveable sin. Looks like CHF kept them both on board through the Bowl season for continuity.

Mumblings of borderline verbal abuse towards players & coaches have circulated the interwebz. Apparently, there’s some validity to Aranda firing him from Baylor, and Aranda was on record saying that large egos were creating a toxic environment in the locker room. Upon Roberts hiring, we brushed those comments off as Auburn fans and pointed a finger at Aranda for passing the blame to save himself for another season.
I hate losing his defense. Was fun to watch most of the time (minus the 3rd/4th and long abominations). Hopefully we can keep some of those exotic pressures moving forward with whoever takes over.

He cost us McGriff and almost K.Scott. However, Asante loved the guy.
Now it will be interesting to see who becomes the DC. An outside guy, or Kelly.
And CHF has already announced HE will be calling the plays next season.

K is paying attention and cares, much like a lawyer I know. We know if Hugh starts winning, he won’t admit to being wrong… but he will continue paying attention and caring. That’s a win in my book.
Year 1 is not a fair barometer to judge what we have. He is saying the right things, is overly candid in what he says, and has backed up every claim he has made in regards to recruiting. He has a history of winning more than he loses wherever he has been, at every level of competition. I still have faith he will do that here. However, if I see the job handed to Thorne without a chance of competition, I think my head will explode. Dude is ass.

I have no issue saying I was wrong when it happens. When it rarely happens.
I said I was wrong about Chizik before it turned out I was right to begin with.
It’s important to note here that my complaints and alarms are not about the record. Eight wins was about the max I expected. Six is meh. Any half way decent coach could have gotten that team to six if all they did was smoke weed in the office all day.
My problems with the beaver are leadership and organizational. And that? Yeah. You can absolutely 1000% judge that based on one year. The mistakes he’s making, the lack of personal accountability (other than lip service), and the failures in leadership are characteristics, not blips.

It’s important to note here that my complaints and alarms are not about the record. Eight wins was about the max I expected. Six is meh. Any half way decent coach could have gotten that team to six if all they did was smoke weed in the office all day.
My problems with the beaver are leadership and organizational. And that? Yeah. You can absolutely 1000% judge that based on one year. The mistakes he’s making, the lack of personal accountability (other than lip service), and the failures in leadership are characteristics, not blips.
This is the first I have heard about Hugh smoking weed in the office all day. No wonder all of these black kids love him.

Is there a path to redemption for you in his case? Not that I’m some Hugh Freeze cheerleader, but I will never understand the unwavering hatred/negativity. Genuinely curious if there is something that he could ever do to garner your respect?
His coaching & priorities frustrated me throughout the year. It was a disservice to the 2023 team to punt on trying to win, but we reaped the rewards in recruiting. He was 2 years behind on building relationships because his predecessor didn’t build anything but a fat wallet.
All said, life is much better when there is positivity & a little hope for the future. He will be given more grace than Spud. Not so much joy in life when hanging out in isolated trenches for the sake of being right.

Interesting question. Is there a path?
If there was it would be in not being the same spotted leopard he’s always been.
You guys claim to see a changed man. I don’t. At all. I see the same goofy goober charlatan he was at Ole Miss. The same self-aggrandizing “look at me”’egoist who “coached” from a hospital bed.
So yeah. That’s where it comes from for me. I don’t see it changing. Skunks. Stripes.
At ole Miss you can make a big recruiting splash, win some big games and shit the bed a couple of times unexpectedly and all is good.
HE BEAT SABAN AND BAMA TWICE YOU NUMBDICK!!
Yeah. I don’t care about that.

We haven't had anyone of the character of Ralph Shug Jordan or even Doug Barfield.
Not gonna happen.
All others have been pretty flawed without being specific.
I can agree that Freeze should be more of a CEO type but that's not what got him to where he is.
I do think he was Auburn's best choice and I'm rolling with the changes.
Am I a traditionalist? Absolutely but I'm no dinosaur. Not yet.

I realize I'm the only one standing over here looking at the alarm bells, and I'm okay with that.
But a good coach doesn't dump both coordinators in his first season. That reeks of poor judgment (bad hires) and is not something that should generate any confidence. If you're stepping into a high profile job, one that comes with high expectations, scrutiny, and demands -- one that pays millions -- you don't start by making two piss poor hires at your most important positions.
Yeah, we wanted them gone because the product on the field was inconsistent and at times putrid. But that falls on a beaver who, for some reason, seems immune from accountability.

Then I smashed his fucking head.

I’ve heard this cadence before and it always enrages me to think about the Jody’s off the world while you soldiers were in a foreign land protecting our country and they are back here long dicking the girls left behind.
I always had a special place in my heart for these girls and I tried hard to help heal the hurt of them missing their man. There is nothing amusing about the Jody’s of the world. They need their ass beat.
If you’re still in the reserves or know of anyone who may be shipped out and leave their woman behind, I consider it part of my ministry. I want to help take care of them while they are gone.
Send me a pic of her and let me know specifics re where she lives, when the brave soldier ships out and expected return. I will get back with them about getting into the rotation.

What is unique to the Auburn fan is that there have been far too few of the "all in a day's work" wins OR too many inopportune losses which serve to substantiate that claim of fandom abuse.
These are the inexplicable losses which happen when the team can prove itself worthy of national attention instead of floundering into obscurity from wence it came.
We are inconsistently great at times and far too average when it really counts.
How about a Fresca?

Taking the Carousel in a different, slow news direction. Ronnie Cottrell stepping down after 9 greatly yuge successful years at Mobile Christian. Coached at about 5 other high schools, as well as Carroll High of Ozark. All indications are that he wants to get back in to college ranks, and rumors are it may be one of the openings at South Alabama.
Cottrell was at the center of Bama looking down the barrel of a gun back around 99'. He actually won a huge verdict in a defamation suit against the NCAA and Tom Culpepper arising out of that. Have no idea how any appeals turned out.
Had the opportunity to meet Cottrell years ago when he was at Carroll. Our firm sponsored the Team of the Week award. I remember him being extremely nice and accommodating. Anyway, slow news day.

No doubt. Just the other day I was feeling sort of low and less energetic than normal. A co-worker says hey John, I have some Arby's coupons and that brought an immediate smile. We didn't save much but those French Dip and Swiss meal's had healing powers, perked me right up. And it makes me happy knowing that somewhere in the wiregrass there's a lawyer intent on scoring a free mini Blizzard at a local DQ, not because he can't afford to pay full price but because it's officially free as indicated on the printed certificate.
