It would have to be a total dumpster fire. Then again, Colorado State just fired Addazio after two years.

But I say this: if you are ever in a position to fire a coach that quickly for less than cause, you're definitely closer to perennially being a Colorado State than you are to being a UGA or Bama. You fire a coach after 2 years for anything less than him being caught at midfield greased up, naked, and standing in a stolen fighter jet while doing 6 pounds of blow off the back of Bevo, you probably won't like who's going to be lining up to replace him. That is not the habit you want to be in.

You mean like Bobby Petrino at Arkansas?

Geez.  Kittley looks like he should be studying for his learners permit.

30 yo.  That's pretty young for an SEC OC.  Judging from their stats, they avg 45+ pass attempts to 25 rush attempts.  It would be different.

Hilltoppers play in the C-USA Championship Game tonight.  FYI

According to their stats they avg around 45-50 pass attempts per game and only 25 rushes.  Not exactly Auburn Football so maybe it can be tweaked to better suit our personnel if he ends up being our guy.

Tate says Craig is out. Gimmie Dell or the Hilltopper. Or both. 

Good and yes and yes.  That would be a solid twofer hire.

Well in his defense, WKU was 114th in PPG last year without Kittley and this year they are #2 and put up over 30 on Michigan St with extremely inferior talent

That is pretty impressive.  

I'll be checking out his offense on display tonight at 6:00 WKU vs UTSA

My money is on either Zac H. or Zach K.  Both experienced OC/QB coaches.  Bring in another recruiter to help that end of it.

So... Zac Hill we get an experienced OC/QB coach of 5 years with zero recruiting time in the south so that would take time to establish and maybe he is a good recruiter.  Or Dell McGee who is a solid established recruiter with zero OC experience. Good luck Harsin.

Dogs.  They’re a more complete team and I hate Bama more than I hate UGA.

Wait, wait… wait.  You mean “the good ole boys” are cool again?  I mean the same ones that people complained about meddling in coaching and coaching searches etc., that is who you’re talking about “investing” large sums of money into the football program.

Jack Sears entered the portal.  Harsin has some type of connection with him and recruited him to Boise St.  

I've heard that he's looked really good but had a couple of injuries (lower leg? and concussion) that's kept him from playing much.

So do all the following OC possible choices seem a better fit and provide a better option than Bobo to you guys?

Kiseau

Wells

Hill

Ludwig

Harrell

 

Not sure if Kiseau is a home run hire for Harsin.  He's obviously worked with Harsin and is familiar with what he wants but he was only OC for the 2020 season.  He was co-OC the prior year and has had sporadic OC work for a year at Colorado and Washington but that's it.

Would be interesting to see these coaches actual record and winning % as a HC regardless of where they coached.  Just as a FYI.  

Maybe these are fairly accurate...

1.  Smart;      63-14,      .818%

2.  Saban;   271-66-1,  .803% 

3.  Napier;     39-12,     .767%

4.  Fisher;   117-36,      .765%

5.  Harsin;    75-25,      .750%

6.  Heupel;   35-13,      .729%

7.  Kelly;        163-62,    .724%

8. Drinkwitz;  23-12,      .657%

9.  Kiffen;       75-41,      .647%

10. Leach;     150-102,   .595%

11.  Stoops;   56-53,      .514%

12. Pittman;   11-11,       .500%

13.  Beamer;    6-6,       .500%

14.  Lea;           2-10,     .166%

….are complete garbage

Mercer - 2022

UMASS - 2023

Cal - 2024

Kudos to our former AD for really getting after it

I mean I'm not looking for our guys to get their feet wet against a playoff team right off the bat but damn..  Mercer and UMass?  That doesn't't help us get ready at all.  Complete waste of time.  Cal has been decent before but tbh, I don't know how good they've been the last 3 to 4 years.

seems silly for shivers to leave, but what do i know.

He only had 14 rushes and 18 receptions the whole year.  Only so many touches to go around.

Mods.  Are we doing a post for every player hitting the portal or try to keep on the other thread??

What thread?

Bobo getting fired:

My message to Bert Watts, our special teams coach:

To the random posters trashing our legitimate insiders:

Since everyone is randomly throwing out names of candidates, my recommendation:

Lastly, and this happens every year too, when one Auburn player enters the portal:

Plot twist, you were on the wrong boat the entire time.

Just one serious question… who are the legitimate insiders on here?

I think there are/were 3 coaches that at un hirable for next year or even the next:

Saban

Kirby

Dabo

 

One more season like this year for Dabs and he’ll hear about it from the Clemson folks.  Most fans have become more irrational and less patient in the age of Twitter and other social media’s.  It’s gotten ridiculous tbh.

Southern Cal, Florida, LSU, AND Notre Dame all had coaching vacancies this year. Wow.

 

Until further notice, no school, coach or player should ever feel completely secure.  Hello modern college football.  Are we having fun yet?

The Phenix City, Smith Station Al rumor mill has it as Gus is offering Patrick Nix the O coordinator position, Bo transfers to Central Florida as he has two years left because of Covid. Again, total rumor at this point but it is being said by some high school coaches in the area.

Just posting what they told me, I don’t have a link etc… I hope it isn’t true.

If Bo has no aspiration to go to the NFL then yea this sounds like a great idea.

Consider the source. The guy has sources about as reliable as mine (i.e., no sources). We'll have some transfers but that's life after the introduction of the portal and no requirement to sit out a year.

Consider the source?  I don’t think he said they were Auburn players hitting the portal… just players.  There’s a link on the recruiting forum in the portal thread.

I love all the sudden hand wringing by some when this subject comes up.  Keeps them up at night I’m sure.

So just in the last week we have heard from “insiders”

Harsin to Washington (clearly false)

DD as good as gone (just debunked by himself)

Harsin too hard headed to ever admit he’s wrong (just admitted for the second time in his very first season he made a bad hire and corrected it)

Whats ironic is the last one was occurring or already occurred while we were discussing his “hard head” 😂

It’s safe to say there may not be any insiders with actual real info these days that actually talk. What a different (and welcoming) world we now live in

All of these debunked rumors provided by the Joseph Goodman school of bammer journalism.
