I know it was reported that Kiffin hired Briles as the OC for FAU but I'm telling you, Kendall Briles to Auburn. A certain member here at the X told you goons this would gonna happen. It will happen before the week is done.

Er'body knows Malzahn and Briles Sr has been pals of late and er'body knows Stidham came to AU. The reports say that Lashlee is a big contributor to Stidham signing with AU. I wonder....
Title: Re: UCONN?!
Post by: Snaggletiger on January 11, 2017, 10:18:06 PM
Well, the biggest question, regardless of who he hires, is will Malzahn turn the reigns over to him and let him do his thing?

In addition, Lashlee was a Gus protégé. The offense that CGM designed is what was going to be run (Sans the whirly-bird). If he hires Briles or Kelly or whoever, do we see a different offense or does he demand they learn his scheme and run it his way?

My take is that Malzahn realizes what he has to do to keep his job next year. I think they both realized what needed to happen also. Rhett needed to be released to be his own and Gus needed to quit being Rhetts football daddy.

Mildly embarrassing for our OC to make a sub-lateral move, but fuck it: the Gushlee umbilical cord has finally been cut.

We'll get to see what kind of HC Gus really is, hopefully.  If it's another member of the Malzahn coaching tree sapling, I'll be disappointed.  This offense needs a new voice and some new ideas...and a QB coach would be nice, too.

Post by: djsimp on January 12, 2017, 09:08:51 AM
My wish list:

Not in any order. Basically for me there is Briles and then everyone else.

1) Kendall Briles - Former Baylor OC and current FAU OC.
2) Chip Lindsey - Arizona State OC
3) Mike Yurcich - Oklahoma State OC
4) Randy Sanders - FSU Co/OC

What I hope doesn't happen, Herb Hand being promoted to OC.

I'd avoid NFL guys due to a culture misfit.  I'd run at these guys (in order of preference):

Lincoln Riley - Oklahoma OC
Jeff Scott - Clemson OC
Todd Fitch - La Tech OC
Mike Yurcich - Ok St OC
Lonnie Galloway - Louisville "OC"
Whoever is calling plays in Tulsa
Title: Re: UCONN?!

Lincoln Riley would be the Big Papi home run hire IMO.  Not that he's even a candidate, but seeing his name under real consideration would give me pause for chub.  Not just because of what he did at OU this year, but his time at ECU was pretty dang skippy.  And...cough...cough....he corches QB's. 

It would take Muschamp $$$ though.  He's pulling down $900K.

Of these that are listed, who would be more likely to stay more than a year or two? Sure, we all want to see the Auburn offense to be top notch, but who out there could do that and be likely to stay more than 2 years?

Can't get Riley. Spivital is only 31. Briles knows Baylor's passing game-installed it. Wes has some good candidates but ultimately I want a guy that knows the culture, can absorb the playbook and even moreso, teach QBs.
What worries me is that Hand was a co-coordinator once and that might be entertained.

Agreed but I wouldn't expect a long tenure. I'm just thinking who from these mentioned would be more likely to stay 3-4 years that can also run the offense along with coaching up the QBs. The person that fits these desires should be on top of the list. I see 3 maybe?

Yurcich?
Fitch
Briles

Edit: Add Lindsey since he loves him some Malzahn.

Well yeah, du....I mean, what are talking about?

Seriously though, Chips offensive stats at ASU look pretty decent but the more I think about this one, the less I like. This would only be a couple notches above Herb Hand. I don't know, I guess I would be expecting more from this considering how the offense has look as of late and the fact Gus has to be feeling the pressure on offensive performance.

Here's what I don't understand:

Auburn is a pretty great place to be a coach, I think.  Traditional power in a top conference with the chance to prove yourself against the best in the business every week AND a realistic shot at an NC more often than not lately.

Why is Gus trying to learn how to be something that he is not?  Why try to force the CEO square peg into the HC/OC round hole?  Be that guy, Gus, it's who you are.  Hire someone whose sole job is to groom QBs...and who does it well, hopefully.  Then get out there and run your fucking offense.

Why tinker with what got you here to meet the optics of what a DI NCAA HC "should" be?  You're at a destination job, so settle in and perfect your madness.

Two dot  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. articles, one by Sinor and the other by Skrubdinski, on Art Briles.  Sinor says Briles is out while Dinski says it's a possibility and seems to indicate it SHOULD happen in his opinion.  Interesting skreetz blurb by KS. He says the decision to turn the play calling over to Lashlee at the LSU game, came at the urging of a powerful booster.  The reason?  If it worked, Malzahn looks great for making the change.  If it bombed, Lashlee is the scapegoat and AU can justify not paying a $9 million buyout to CGM.  Move on to a different OC.

No, he wouldn't be a bad hire.  He would complete almost any criteria list one has when looking for an OC but I fear he lacks experience.  If our head coach is learning on the job, we definitely don't need his OC doing the same. 

I would open up the check book and go after Jeff Scott, Jake Spatival, Lincoln Riley or Sterlin Gilbert.

Lindsey has experience. For me its just the fact that he may still be too subjective to what Gus wants to run on offense. On the other hand, wes makes a good point too and Lindsey sounds like he is a great QB coach. I dunno anymore. I just want the damn offense to show greatness.

Not sure. Apparently he was with the Aggies before Cal where he and the Aggies "mutually decided to part ways". Not sure what to take from that. Also he is interviewing for the Cal HC job which I don't think he will get because Chip Kelly is also in the running.

It would seem more plausible if the power included a maritime veto, which inevitably could lead to a straight face off of adversarial spatulas.  But I think that's stating the obvious.

Well duh. Talk about implied knowledge. We all know maritime vetos rank the best. And are different as far as adversarial spatulas go anyway. At least the same ballpark. But we all know the game totally changes when hot dogs are brought into the equation.
