Just saw a tweet about Nick Brahms being out for the bowl game due to surgery.

Really?  I must have missed that edition of Kiffen's World on Instagram or Twitter.

swing for the fences in this OC search

The hard part is knowing who that is.  According to this board and Auburn twitter there isn't a "unanimous" can't-miss OC in the college ranks or NFL.  Every single name I've heard brought forward half love them and the other half hates them.  Some OC are simply good recruiters with the title of OC or it's just the opposite.  It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

I just feel like the stage is too big for him and he had no idea what SEC football would be like. I guess we will have to see how it plays out

if we're not gonna pull a Miami move this season, then Harsin should get his chance to make something of this.  Three years is the absolute minimum and he should get full autonomy to make this his team.  Could be a rough road, but we asked for this by hiring him.

This is how I see it also.  Give him the power to have whoever he wants and see what happens.  No excuses if things go sideways after 3 years.  Anyone who thought there wouldn't be a dip in recruiting due to a new staff not familiar with the SEC or the southeast in general is semi-oblivious to the obvious.  But the ineptitude down the stretch resulting in 3 losses in a row is unacceptable.  I know we lost 4 in a row but the team looked much better against the bammers.

I expected 7-5 or 6-6, because I figured our OL wouldn’t be any better than it was in 2020.  I’m still disappointed because there were game we could have easily won instead of finding a way to lose.  Harsin has talked a good game but if you can’t make it materialize we’ll need to go in a different direction.  He needs at least 3 years unless the wheels fly off next year.

Don't know. I keep reading that Miami is in negotiation with Cristobal. Being reported everywhere, and other than Gene Chizik, I haven't heard anyone else say WTH?

That's cold.  Openly negotiating before firing your coach?  What a cluster.

4 minutes ago, Eagle-1 said:

So, Miami has offered Cristobal the Head Coach job, meanwhile Diaz is out recruiting because he has not been fired yet?

My question is this going to be the same scandal that is talked about for the next ten years like a certain airplane flight on Bobby Lowder's plane? 

Auburn couldn't play a game on TV without it coming up for years. 

Do we know for a fact UM has offered or is this just Jimmy Sexton stirring the rumor-pot just to get Cristbol a big raise?  Idk.

Kentucky has a better bowl game than Auburn... I'm not surprised by this, just the reality of seeing it is sobering. 

9-3 KY… we need to tighten our sh** up around here and it starts in Birmingham. Cold.  Hard.  Facts.

After going 2-6 in our last 8 bowl games and Auburn stinking it up this year going 6-6 I’m shocked we got an invite.  We really need to crush Houston into dust.

I think it's gonna be one that hasnt been on any list🤞 but yes if it's the one I'm thinking of it will be a boom. 😁 Atleast in my eyes. 

Whoever it is I'm ready to get the hand-wringing over with and get the gnashing of teeth underway.

Turds win again.  GA really sharded the sheets in this game.  

Dawgs crappin’ the bed and looking over-rated.  The East division didn’t prepare them for the Turds.

I worry about the results of this game because even if Bama loses today they may still be able to get into the CFP as a 2-loss team, which would be infuriating.

No way.  America needs to sue ESPN/ABC if this happens.

DENIED!   You can talk all day about the Baylor offense, but the defense made the difference.

It most certainly wasn't because of their offense.  They can keep that .

OMG, he came up a foot short.  How heartbreaking!

It's looking like OSU is about to score with very little time left for Baylor.

I'm getting triggered by just watching this Baylor offense.  It makes Bobo's offense look wide open.

Seems Bobo was hired by Baylor.

Oklahoma State cuts it to 21-13.

Indeed.  I'm seeing a whole lot of blah from their offense.  Maybe I've been too harsh with my criticisms of the Air Raid offensive concepts.

The main thing here would likely be a mixing of Harsin’s run schemes and Kittleys pass schemes if I had to guess which could be interesting 

That is an intriguing prospect that I hadn't considered.  I like his passing concepts  but I still think we need to utilize 2 TE's and a strong running attack.

I don’t believe you can be successful consistently throwing the ball 59 times and running 10 in the SEC.  I’m out on Kittley.

This.  Leave the air-raiding to the pirate in Mississippi.

Baylor looking dominant so far. 

OSU's QB looks awful.  Baylor's/Jeff Grimes's offense looks Ok I guess.  Nothing spectacular so far.

This board is entertaining but I hope the hell our football program isn't influenced in the slightest by it or any other form of social media.  We would never get anywhere.

Herbstreit ripping Oregon. Embarrassing loss, and a setback for their program. He's being straight up brutal. Oregon didn't show up and Utah did.

There were a lot of Auburn folks really high on Crystalball and still are.  Grass is always going to be greener in college football I suppose.

UTSA's QB and RB are pretty good at what they do.  They definitely look more talented than WKU at this point in the game.

Just imagine the numbers if they had top notch receivers though 😳

Oh, you mean like our WR's... wait.
