The Auburn Tigers have reportedly hired Alabama Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart to be their head coach according to sources.
Auburn had reportedly been interested in Charlie Strong and Bobby Petrino among others for the job, but according to a number of reports, the school that won the 2010 national title got the man they wanted and will pay Smart $3.2 million in the first year of his contract.

The Saban Coaching Tree
Jimbo Fisher. Could also be part of the Terry Bowden coaching tree. Pfftt on Saban.
Will Muschamp. Could also be part of the Tommy Tuberville coaching tree. Or Mack Brown. Pfffttt on Saban.
Derek Dooley. Could also be part of the VINCE Dooley coaching tree. Flopped. Pfffttttt on Saban.
Mike Haywood. Who?
Mark Dantonio. Who? Decent coach at Michigan State. Could also be part of the Earl Bruce, Glen Mason, Jim Tressel coaching tree.
Jim McElwain. Who? Colorado State. 4-8.
Yeah, that Saban tree is fruitful.

Cliffs Notes: Kaos not impressed.

I don't even have the energy left to be pissed about it anymore. Guess I should be glad they didn't make Tim Jackson the head coach.
Well played, Jacobs.....

I WOULD RATHER ENDURE THE SHITSTORM OF HIRING BP THAN TO HAVE THE TURDS RUN AROUND SAYING WE ARE SUCKLING FROM THE TIT OF saban.
We need a proven coach and disciplinarian.

A couple of Bama guys I have coffee with in the mornings were acting surprised this morning that AU had interest in Smart. They were giving me shit about AU trying to steal one of their people away. I said, "Yes, TJ Yeldon....it happens".
-

For me the jury is still out on Sunseri. I will give him more than one year at the back alley abortion that UT football was this year.

Quite the opposite..my friend. Most of the bammer people that are smart (no pun intended or the double entendre) do not want us getting Kirby Smart. It will piss off more of them then the group that says we are suckling from the saban tit.

Yep.
I didn't realize that Smart became the defensive coordinator in 2009. In terms of Alabama's most successful seasons since Saban got there, Smart has had the crucial role of coordinating their #1 defense.
That makes me feel better about him, but his inexperience as a head coach definitely makes me worry.
-

I'm equating a Smart hire to an automatic double. Patterson a triple. Jimbo, Malzahn and Petrino are singles. Considering the so called list, I think he's a strong hire.

I think smart is a great dc, but make no mistake about it - saban drives that bus.
-
If you want to feel better about this, Terry Henley told SportsCall yesterday that this was Jacobs hire and the committee was only going to give a recommendation. Yea us.
Come on down Gus. :(
-
Love how :oh: comes out with a story that our committee had a tele-con with Petrino this morning but didn't report that yesterday when all the major sites were in meltdown about Kirby and Gus.
:woodcock: <-- Godfather good sir, can we please get this with Jacobs, Jackson and Gogue? Or can we get them in the Bag O' Dicks?
-

Disagree again. Saban's defenses at LSU were no where near as strong as they are at bammer.
-

I don't see that being relevant to how much control he has over the D behind the scenes. Alabama probably has better personnel although lsu was stout too. Just not quite this good. Bama has had better Rbs and clock control as well. Makes defense that much better.

In terms of coaching ability, BP is a triple. The others are still being evaluated from a head coaching standpoint.

In terms of strictly coaching ability, I would say Petrino would be a homerun.

Saying Petrino was a single on coaching ability and smart was a double was laughable. Seeing as how smart has never been a hc. Me thinks wiregrass has had too much grass.

Sigh...

Now back to the good part!!!
This is the tale, of dumbfuck jay Jacobs!

Me never used the term coaching ability but o.k. I'm just talking about the hire itself.
-
I belieeeeeve:
that I don't want a head corch with no prior head corching experience. (I'll get behind whoever they hire, but do...not...want)
that Bobby Petrino will not be our next head corch
that Pat Dye will have no say in who our next head corch will be
that Jay Jacobs is only a figure head at this point and will only be used to make the announcement
that Amanda Cerny should be Snags' sex slave
that Quinton Dial should be suspended for the MNC game and fined $25K or 1/10th of his salary
that AJ McTatoo's mom has ridden the Saybin train multiple times
that I mentioned Amanda Cerny earlier, but that she's worth mentioning again.
that all of the above are true or will come to pass.....unless they aren't or don't
-
Sigh...
Let's see, If we hire Smart we get:
1. Dude that's part of the last how many #1 recruiting classes
2. Dude that's been the DC for soon to be 3 of the last 4 National Championships
3. Dude that the Bama folks really don't want to lose
Not bad on the surface

And a dude that's never coached a game as the head guy. That has to make even the most pro-KS folks nervous. I like the guy personally but I also liked Chizik personally.

Any idea how many of the top programs now have a coach that was hired with no HC experience?
Let me help you out:
Florida, Oregon, Kansas State, Stanford, Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida St., Oregon St., Clemson, Nebraska, Louisville, and Northwestern
All hired their last coach without any head coaching experience and all made it to the top 25 this year

How bad will the AU fanbase meltdown be if AU hires the Clemson OC? Just curious.
If Smart goes to AU, there will be an epic meltdown of the Alabama fanbase imo. I will probably be near the front of the line. Huge, huge blow to the team and recruiting. As far as the notion that Saban "drives the bus" on defense, that is completely wrong. Even by Saban's own admission. He's said numerous times that Smart handles the bulk of the game planning, and calls the defense. He has also said that Smart understands the defense as well as he (Saban) does, and letting Smart deal with it really frees Saban up to handle other aspects of the team. Alabama isn't paying Smart a fuckton of cash and giving him raises every year just to be a figurehead. Saban wants him at Alabama to run the defense.

Florida - Was Texas' HC in Waiting Til He Didn't Want to Wait any longer. First year was rocky, second year much better.
Oregon - Brought in by the last HC to architect the offense, been there for years
Kansas State - Was there before and was brought back; you are mistaken.
Georgia - Was a hot "get" at the time from the Bowden tree
Oklahoma - Considered by many the reason Steve Spurrier has a championship ring.
Florida St. - Was coach in waiting til they didn't want to wait anymore. Clearly someone saw him do something. Plus, did Bobby do anything the last few years?
Nebraska - How's that working out for them?

And for all those "success" you listed, you could list how many people with no head coaching experience, put in a Big time program, and what they did.
Charlie Wies at Notre Dame
Mike Shula at Alabama
Randy Shannon at Miami

And I can list 1 coach with head coaching experience, that has never won a MNC, can't beat Bama, quit on the Falcons before the season was over, gave a job to his fuck buddy, lied to his bosses about it, and can't seem to find a job ANYWHERE
Do you guys really want to be that team that hitches their wagon to Petrino?

Numbers schmumbers. That's the thing I like about this place. I've done a lot of research this week on the coaching search at other www places and it would take at least 4 of those
Message board posters to equal me in football knowledge. But they aren't quick to call me a motherfucker.
Here, any two of you combined get very close to my prowess, although I've been called a motherfucker a lot more. I appreciate the football intellect here. It's stimulating.

In all fairness to Shula, it really wasn't his fault that Alabama was stupid enough to hire him as a HC.

Muschamps resume is unreal. He was also in a HCIW situation as was Fisher. Auburn is also in a unique situation of being in the sec west and our main rival is a juggernaut at the moment. We are also going to need someone who can rebuild a lot of fundamentals in these players with little rool for error. Many of those other schools had a little more slack for OTJ hc training. And I'm not saying KS won't be a good coach but moreso I'm not sure we can afford a gamble on a guy who has never been a hc, in OUR situation.
-
Just a point of order, but don't all coaches get a HC job somewhere before they were a HC. Saban wasn't born a HC was he?
-
Again I'm not rooting for Smart. But none of us know how any coach would do at our program. All of the names mentioned are a gamble. Some just have better odds then others.
-
Just a point of order, but don't all coaches get a HC job somewhere before the were HC. Saban wasn't born a HC was he?
Yes but they usually work there way up to a big name school. Most don't go straight from OC or DC to hc of Notre Dame or Bama. Not successfully anyway. Those that AUTR pointed out are the exceptions.

Big schools. Besides fla state and fla (who were both well prepped as HCIWs) We are a big school in a very unique situation right now. It's a lot easier to cut your teeth as a hc at tcu or Oregon or Boise than an sec pressure cooker. The comparisons just aren't valid.

But what kind of situation did they step into? Like was said before, if it was a situation where you had a somewhat stable program, then fine, take that chance. That is what we did with Chizik. But here we not only have a coaching cluster, but a revolt by the players too. A big gamble may just work out. Who knows.
-

This is how I feel. Any hire is a gamble. I've only seen one hire I would classify as a homerun and it was Satan--and I didn't think it was a homer when they made it. But it turned out to be. Pat Dye was way down AU's list after we failed on Dooley and others. He turned out pretty damn good.
Maybe AU didn't think they could afford the risk of the BP baggage and maybe couldn't afford the $ for Patterson. It ain't always based on resume and shouldn't be.
I'm good with whoever in the hell we get because at that point he's already been got.

You just summed up nicely why we are a different situation than those. Fla with boom is the closest really.

#21 Louisville - Playing in a BCS Bowl
#19 Boise State - 10-4
TCU had a down year, and problems with drugs
Penn State - 8-4 (decimated Program)
What do all the schools have in common...all had infinitely better years then our supposed big school.

I'm warming up to him.
I think many fear he'll be another Chizik because we don't know who he is. However, I seriously doubt a coach that has been trained by Nick Saban is going to take his players to the waterpark on his first day on the job.

Yes I know what they are ranked right now. But those are all mid level schools (besides psu) in shitastic conferences with much less pressure, expectations and competition when those coaches took over. Besides, Like cct said, it's more about the situation our team is in. We have a team in quit mode infighting and on the verge of total collapse. The question is: can we afford to take a gamble on a guy who has never led a team, and charge him with fixing it? My guy feeling just says no. Nothing personal against KS.
-
Something else about Smart - Do you think he's the type of guy to fall in love with Auburn and be an Auburn guy for his career?
Let's say we hire him, and he is successful. Very successful and rather quickly. He's 36 years old.
Would we have to worry about him jumping ship?

Georgia is his dream job.
Auburn is Petrino's dream job.
Kirby will either be an epic fail (Where I'd lay all my money) or a success. Either way, we're right back where we started in 3-4 years. At least with the latter, hopefully someone will be able to pick up the pieces a little easier. I'm certainly hoping for that.
I just do not think Smart is the right move at this point in our history. If this was coming off of Tuberville's last season, maybe.
-
Lets say Petrino does get the HC position. Who does he bring in as the DC? Tracy Rocker?
Now, lets say it is Kirby Smart. Who would he hire as the OC?
-
I'll go on record once. I really, really, really hope it isn't Smart. The guy has a fantastic defense. Yeah, it's Saban, but it's been pointed out, Smart knows the defense better than anyone. And, he recruits the fuck out of Georgia, where we have pulled a lot of talent.
I don't want to play against him in the SEC, and I don't want to recruit against him. AND, I like him so much, it'll be hard for me to hope for Auburn's demise while he is there.
It's wishful thinking, but I hope he stays around a few more years, until Saban leaves, then takes over at Bama.
-
Yes.

Chad,
No disrespect intended, but please stop.
Do you really believe that AU is Petrino's "dream Job"? If he had not been fired from Arkansas, he would only be looking at us if we were going to give him a trunk full of money. If he does get the job, he will be here until someone else decides to give him a trunk full of money.

We wait until a couple of weeks into January, and then claim the MNC for Auburn using bammer logic

I'm burning everything Auburn that I own if we dont hire Petrino.
Don't forget to take it off first.

Didn't think that far ahead.

IF they hired Smart.. why not pursue BP as an OC??? A first time HC in the hardest division in FBS to clean up the worst mess in the SEC. Oh man doesn't it sound like a winning combination?? Also I think Smart is a little spoiled with getting the 4 and 5 star talent on defense.. bammer usually looks like garbage against a spread or air raid offense that's worth a damn.
I'm a nobody.. and in no way shape or form claim to know or guess what one would be thinking.. but I would've guessed that Bo would've preferred Charlie Strong for multiple reasons. Oh well, with JJ involved I wouldn't be surprised if someone's "skreetz" claimed we were hiring the corpse of Captain Kangaroo.

Only because Mr. Green Jeans turned us down first.

Don't know if the proported offer of 3.2M for Smart is correct seeing how Malzahn commanded such a large figure by his last year as the OC.
Has Auburn purposely lowballed Smart entirely for show knowing he won't accept?
And what will Saban say?
This is Malzahn money. Just find it a peculiar number at the going rate in this league.
Jughead never intended to make a splash hire, never seriously interviewed bigger names and is going to fuck Auburn over again. He could get lucky but the Auburn HC job is better than this.
BOBBY PETRINO SHOULD BE ON THE A LIST, not a fallback guy when no real head coaching experience is in the mix.
Nice job Jacobs. :facepalm:

I have heard or read three different coaches named as our new head coach in the last five minutes by different Montgomery outlets.

Considering that Alabama hired Saban for $4 million per year in 2007, I wouldn't say that $3.2 million is a lowball offer for a guy who has never been a HC. If AU is paying Smart that much money, then your AD is a fucktard.
Oh, wait....

They are inviting them all to AU and then announcing the winner on live TV.
Oh. I'm sorry. That's NYC and a different award.
Carry on!

Concur and Jacobs is lowrating Auburn by not making a hire that pays top dollar. Understand my comment has nothing to do with the B and C list coaches aspiring for a top notch job but how Jacobs is failing to set the bar high by talking to more experienced winning HCs.

If JJ is really the final say, this is far more of a possibility than you'd think.

He was just an ice breaker before we plunge out of sight.

I'm guessing that they couldn't come to terms with Smart (despite his supposedly not being offered) and now they will move to Malzahn. Malzahn will likely take it but if he didn't, next up would have to be Petrino. I can't believe Morris gets hired over Petrino. I neve thought Smart would take it anyway.
I'm thinking the biggest hurdle we must overcome is the perception that JJ is a puppet and won't hand over the keys to let the new HC run the program. I wonder why that perception exists? Petrino may even turn it down. It be sounding bleak to me.

Already said no

Get ready for Gus if you believe Mark Murphy over at Scout. FML!

I hate this shit. Why can't JJ find a great coach and keep him. You know? Like the turds did. Now, I'm hearing Malzahn has passed up Smart in the race. Where the fuck is LSUFreek or Aulteredego when you need him?
