Mmmmk. So, please elaborate.

From what I’ve been told, AU expressed interest in the “un-named†coach and he returned interest by saying he would come but it would have to be a Jimbo Fisher type contract to do so.

Interesting story there. When Harbert made the donation that attached his name to the COB, one of the stipulations was that the LOWDER name remain on the building because he didn't want to erase that part of the history. Make no mistake though. That's the HARBERT College of Business in Lowder Hall.

Can Auburn win right away or at least repeat on 2018's success?

Briarwood Christian coach Fred Yancey is resigning. AU could have an opening. Coincidence? I think not. Could he be the next coach to challenge Bill Snyder?

Back when I used to teach high school we'd cover the Declaration of Independence. I'd tell my kids that it was essentially a "break up" letter that England got from its significant other.
I told them that when you get one of those letters, you're wasting your time trying to fight it out, begging for them to stay, threatening them, or any of those things. If one part of a relationship wants out, let them go. The relationship will never be the same.
This is the same scenario. Gus is out of love with AU. AU is out of love with him. No matter what happens -- stay or go -- the relationship is fractured. He will always be looking for a way to leave with dignity. We'll always be looking for a way to shove him out.
I'll credit our friends at al.com for doing their best to screw up the relationship and to make sure that they poison the pool of next potential girlfriends.

“There’s problems in Auburn. There’s always been problems in Auburn. And, for some reason, they will continue to be problems in Auburn." - Tommy Tuberville

Auburn has one major issue. Steven Leath. He creates all of the other issues. And continues to do so.
as for Gus - there is no jay to blame anymore. We’ve made him rich beyond his wildest Arkansas hillbilly dreams. Facilities. Talent. A nicer AD than slimebag and two major votes of confidence. Gus has head issues. He’s paranoid and has security issues. He doesn’t trust anyone. Not because of anything a fan or power broker did. But him. This is on him. He’s created this prison for himself. But he isn’t even our issue if Leath wasn’t such a dumb mommy part.

Don't you think calling that mommy part "dumb" is a little over the top? That mommy part has feelings too, you know.

Quick question. Where the hell is our AD in all of this? Why is the President of the University of Auburn negotiating coaching contracts? Is Greene just a figure head?

Auburn circa 2004 begs to differ.

Auburn circa 2004 begs to differ.
If auburn being the admin, faculty, fans AND PTB then....
IN 2004 the fans were largely behind tubs and not in favor of what happened. Most auburn folks were begging him to stay.
Fast forward to 2018. No one is behind gus. Other than Kristy with her strap on. No one. I think that’s the difference.
2004 - ptb against tubs.
2018 - whole fuckin auburn nation against gus.

Auburn circa 2004 begs to differ.
So, so wrong.
Yeah, things were better for a little while, but did the relationship recover? Jacobs hated Tuberville, Tuberville hated Jacobs. We've had numerous conversations here about how Tuberville was sabotaged by Jacobs along the way. How the lack of commitment from the Athletic Department soured Tommy and impacted his level of effort (and pushed him into siege mentality where he became too loyal to his insular crew).
From the moment Cadillac turned the corner on Alabama in 2003 and gave Tuberville the sympathy vote from the fans Auburn's administration was looking for a way to get rid of him. He just made it difficult for them to do so. As soon as he showed a crack in the facade -- GTFO.
-

The analysis was at the relationship level. Coach/Admin, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Employer/Employee.
When one partner or the other wants out to the point of making threats, it can rarely be repaired. It almost always ends badly. Maybe not immediately, but it's just a matter of time until it's over.
You upended the goalposts.
Whatever happens with Gus? It would take a miracle for there to be some huge fan revival behind him. His relationship with the athletic department and administration in its current makeup cannot be salvaged no matter how this ends. Now, next year, two years from now, they'll find a reason to shove him out. Truth be told, he'll probably give them one. He doesn't have the knowledge or experience to turn this around.

Even in a situation of JUST coach and admin tubs still had the wildcard in the form of tremendous support from the fans and players. I think the lack of support for Gus is pretty unanimous. GOAL POSTS or not I think that’s a big factor in the two situations being different.

One correction here. Everything ends badly or it wouldn't end.
-

Not entirely, some in administration still seem to want him.

The point he was trying to make was that AU and Tuberville overcame the acrimony of 2003 to create 2004. But you know 2004 stuck in the gullet of certain AU royalty who were hoping for a two or three-loss season to provide the rails of justification for his exit.
All Tuberville did was rub their faces in it. In 2003 fans were behind him, the players were behind him but there was a perma-frost that emanated from the administration from 2003 to the end of his days. And apparently still exists.
He was looking at another field and the wrong goal posts.

Going with the theory that marcellos new deal article is gospel I’m not sure anyone expected gus to accept the conditions. Now it essentially handcuffs him and makes him easier to fire. His own dumbass hubris is probably what accepted it as bgreene said. The dude thinks he can legit turn it around. But he can’t we all know that.
Now he’s boxed himself into a very very toxic situation. He blinked. Leaving auburn open to coach shop more aggressively. Especially when dec 5th rolls around. I fully believe Moon’s theory that the deal we all read about yesterday is not the end game here. Rane and Harbert didn’t get filthy rich by being wrong most of the time. My first thought too when reading it was this sounds too stupid to be true. Well maybe it is.

Please let Gus be on the phone with Sexton trying to work his way into the Ga.Tech job. Please Dear Lord Baby Jesus 8lb 7oz, watching your Little Einstein videos, please!

I think what we're forgetting here is that if negotiations are really going on, Gus isn't doing this on his own. He has the highest powered sports agent in the universe as his mouthpiece. If something happens one way or another, you can bet it's ultimately in Malzahn's best interest.

I get what you’re laying down homie - and we no it’s not a ball sack - but it’s bewildering. Only thing that makes sense is hubris. Pride. No way in hell Sexton would have agreed to those terms unless the end game would be a win win. You have to think something is bigger at play here. Stay tuned it could get even darker and juicier. The way snags likes his men.

Not just saying this with wishful war eagle goggles but it would be a good fit for him. And a win win for every party involved. I know leach wants out of WSU but not sure how well the air raid would be accepted in Atlanta with all of those option players. It would be downright ugly for 2-3 years.

The terms are probably along the lines of dropping the buyout down to $27,500,000 but he gets $25,000,000 in lump sum and the remaining $2.5 mil in 10 easy payments. Leath gets to say he negotiated the contract down and thinks he's done a damn good days work.
Sexton and Gus grudgingly sign it.
See how easy that is?

In all honesty, this new theory gives me hope again and really the only thing that makes sense of him taking a reduction
-
Thanks. There are at least twelve people and an injury attorney here that care.
He's just hoping for a slip and fall though
-
I've heard rumblings that Gus' people are telling him to get out now before he ruins his brand forever. But like many have said, he is too full of himself to listen.
And Leach at GT would not take long to fix. One good passing QB and you still have a LOT of skill players to throw to. Use a zone blocking scheme with your smaller more mobile line and you could hold off the bears for a couple of seasons till you get new players in.

I think Auburn is a top 6 football school. But until they hire an asshole of a coach with the backbone to tell the PTB to shut the fuck and enjoy their views from the boxseats, AND the administration 100% back the coach's power plays, the results are going to be the same.

And call them gay.

There really aren't that many of those. Most coaches have to suck up to the board and are beholden to their whims. I can't really think of hardly any even historically that have "fuck you" leverage.
Saban is one of the few. He was such a dick to everybody in the program initially that if things hadn't turned around quickly in 2008 that would have been one of the most spectacular implosions in the history of college football. The people behind the people at that place were fondling their pitchforks because of the abrupt way he'd handled their access to the program, his fuck-off demeanor toward people who had been given deference before, the murky "handle internally" discipline, the suspended/not suspended response to off-field issues and more. If he'd come out of the gate slowly in 2008? It could have been glorious.
But... he didn't. He sold them in the offseason on setting up the "process" which we all know includes buying the best available talent and pumping them full of PEDs.
Meanwhile, thinking we had time, we allowed Jay's ego and Tommy's stubbornness to drive our program off the rails and provide a bigger opening.

They should. His limited passing tree would look like the second coming of Bill Walsh's WCO. It's the right blend of run, run, bomb, punt for a fanbase that's been drummed into submission by the triple option.

New (fake?) info?
Talked to somebody last night who knows somebody who knew somebody. The guy is a Bammer, but a big hammer in Montgomery and has occasionally known things from his connections with the big mouthed boosters.
He says the reason nothing is coming out from the AU administration is that what's going to happen has to wait until bowl season is concluded. He says there is a plan and everything that's been reported so far is nothing but smoke to keep the vultures away from the "real" scheme.

Ok....care to elaborate? Did he mention a name or a team? Is this coach coaching in a major bowl game or is it a Birmingham bowl coach?

I'm not going to pretend like this is true. It could be. Hell they seem to know more about our inner worlings of the program more than we do at times. I just can't place a coach that is a splash/home run that is still coaching. Riley? Heupel? I don't see it being Kirby, Dabo Urban or the likes.

Because of his status as a Bammer he didn't get the straight "this is what we're doing" line. Lots of innuendo and "it's gonna be big" nonsense.
I hesitated to even bring it because it's more than likely a case of some big wheel wannabe running off at the gums. The indication was Mason or the dude at PSU, though, yes.

Once again AU makes a “big move†but in reality, it’s lackluster at best.

The logic of this scenario makes no sense. Think about it. What good does it do to not make the move...both for us and the teams they're coaching? If you're not going to the playoffs, it's now about one thing,...recruiting. why wait? Fact is. Malzahn is our guy.

He may be your guy.
I almost just let this go because I didn't really buy much of what my guy was selling. But I figured it was safe.

Out of list I'd take Franklin first over the others, but woof!

He still has his job in spite of not being “our guyâ€. Fuckin contracts.

Agree. Always about recruiting and in our case regional recruiting. All for big names but some guys just don't have a place here.
Franklin seemed to find success at PSU with a guy like Moorhead and a bad assed running back.
After they leave you've either replaced that "lightning in a bottle" adequately or you revert back to 4th or 5th best in your conference making strategic choices in games like you once did at Vandy. That feels remarkably familiar.

I think Gus will be the head coach when we kick off vs Oregon.
I do not think he will be head coach by the time we play LSU.

Makes perfect sense to me. :blink:
The following is an exerpt from an article by the Ames Register concerning the hiring of Matt Campbell.
"Doctor Leath flew over Saturday night so Matt could sign the offer officially with Dr. Leath there," Pollard said. "I think that's very important for both Matt and our president and for me that the highest paid employee at Iowa State University, that the president was in the room for the actual, official signing of the deal. But we're not bringing the president all the way over there if it was going to be a dog and pony show. Saturday night was a very exciting night for all of us."
And thus the coaching search was complete.
Some here might know Campbell as the hottest young coach in the business. He now has a 20M buyout at ISU.
Yes, the same ISU that brought us Chizik and that wheeling-dealing/zany pilot of a President Steven Leath.
-
Not sure Mason is ready for a big program, although I do like his coaching style.
Franklin might not be a home run hire, but he'd at least be a stand up triple.

Going into a bye week, we cut our losses with Gustavo.

Can't see proceeding with the stench of failure lingering into another season. It's just prolonging the pain and the wrong way to handle this.

100% agree. The minute Gus and Auburn entered into negotiations after the Iron Bowl, every swinging dick on this board knew exactly what it meant. The relationship between Gus and Auburn is fractured beyond repair.
-
Auburn is making it harder to have a coach want to come here with this garbage!! Everything that has happened this year will happen again next season. This does make me think that Clemson trans QB is coming to AU and that's what Gus used to keep his job. Leath is a big enough idiot to buy Gus's lie

Last I saw Mizzou was in the lead for Bryant. He has a few days left to name his school. So much for a bird in the hand. Let's just poison the whole flock.

As a couple of the writers put it - was the start of a long exit.

I am biased. But why would he not choose AU over a new HBCU?

We can't even fire a coach right.

Article in al.com
Gus Malzahn only has one option left
--Auburn couldn’t put LSU away despite leading 21-10 in the third quarter.
--Running back Boobee Whitlow’s fumble at the goal line against Mississippi State changed the season.
--Quarterback Jarrett Stidham threw two of the worst interceptions you’ll ever see against Tennessee, but the Tigers were still in position to win … before Stidham fumbled the game away.
Bottom line: Auburn couldn’t run the ball this season, and Malzahn didn’t trust his offensive coordinator and quarterback enough to make the necessary adjustments. Now, make no mistake, Malzahn is staring into the void of his own Little Bighorn as he enters into the final weeks before the early signing period.

That's well known at this point. I was pointing out the fact that the article claims he didn't trust his OC or QB enough to make adjustments, which is laughable.
-
Last night, Snagette comes in and asks me, "Do you know what happened at Auburn today?"
Me: Chip Lindsey resigned.
Do you know where he's going?
To Kansas with Les Miles. Everybody knows that.
She hangs her head and starts to walk out. Then stops and says, "Well, did you know there really is an oldest trick in the book?"

& you guys just kept asking me why I didn't want Gus...
(But, we did get another high school kinda guy.)

The more I think about this, the more pissed I get. The PTB are screwing us for years to come and they don't care!!! There are only two options, 1. pull the Band-Aid off and fire him, pay him his money and let's look to the future. 2. Let him hire someone, or hell, let whoever hire someone as the OC that is worth a tinkers damn and let's try to be competitive next season.
