  10. Auburn recruiting observations, analysis from A-Day Drew Champlin | dchamplin@al.com The Auburn A-Day game got off to a good start recruiting-wise when Brooks offensive lineman Kameron Stutts gave his pledge to the Tigers. Many other recruits were spotted in attendance, including the state's top prospect Justyn Ross, a receiver from Central-Phenix City and quarterback commit Joey Gatewood from Bartram Trail High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Some observations from today. This post will be updated. ** Head coach Gus Malzahn made a beeline over to 2019 OL Clay Webb and Pierce Quick, top in-state guys, before the game to say hello. They were already with offensive line coach Herb Hand. ** Seemed like Gatewood made it a point to hang around Ross, one of the top WR to come out of the state in a while. Looks like an Auburn-Alabama battle with Ross. ** Memphis OL Jerome Carvin made his first trip. Seemed like he had fun. Visiting Alabama soon. Not terribly close to narrowing things down. Auburn likes him as a guard. Here is (not a complete) list of some other recruits who were spotted: Kelvin Stokes, DE, Stanhope Elmore Ja'Len Sims, 4-star LB, Fultondale (2019) Justyn Ross, 5-star WR, Central-Phenix City Joey Gatewood, 4-star QB, Jacksonville, Fla. (Auburn commit) Coynis Miller Jr., 4-star DE, Birmingham (Jackson-Olin) Myles Mason, 4-star DB, Pleasant Grove Tony Amerson, RB, Montgomery-St. James (2019) Asa Martin, 4-star RB, Decatur (Austin) Pierce Quick, 4-star OL, Hewitt-Trussville (2019) Clay Webb, 4-star OL, Oxford (2019) Harold Joiner, 4-star RB, Mountain Brook King Mwukuta, 4-star LB, LaGrange, Ga. (2019) Anthony Schwarz, 3-star WR, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Jerome Carvin, 3-star OL, Memphis Caleb Nix, QB, Pinson Valley (2022) Some 2017 signees were spotted Calvin Ashley, OL Tyrone Truesdell, DL Jordyn Peters, DB Anders Carlson, K Traivon Leonard, DB Austin Troxell, OL Casey Dunn, OL (Jacksonville State grad transfer) Social media reaction from the day.
  11. Chip Lindsey a 'home run' hire for Auburn, says former colleague Rush Propst Wesley Sinor | wsinor@al.com Rush Propst has a vivid memory of the moment he realized Chip Lindsey was special. It was 2007, and the Hoover Buccaneers were hosting Hueytown in the second round of the AHSAA Class 6A playoffs. On just the second play of the game, Hoover lost starting quarterback Tyler Ray to a concussion. The backup was Propst's nephew Simon, who had little experience as a sophomore. Under the guidance of Lindsey, Hoover's offensive coordinator at the time, the young quarterback finished the night 17-of-30 for 262 yards and four total touchdowns. "My nephew came in as a 10th grader and we beat a very good Hueytown team that night 44-42," Propst said. "That told me right quick that Chip knew what he was doing, because you don't throw a 10th grader into the second round of the playoffs. "Chip and I have talked about it a lot since then. That's when you know a guy knows what he's doing. He's always, to me, had a knack for it." Lindsey, who was Propst's offensive coordinator at Hoover in 2007, was hired as Auburn's newest offensive coordinator last Saturday. "One thing you can say about Gus Malzahn is he hires very good people and winners," Propst said. "Chip's a winner and he's had to come up the hard way." Auburn hires Lindsey as new O.C. After more than nine days, Auburn has found its next offensive coordinator. Lindsey has been on the fast track to success in recent years, having coached at the high school level for the majority of his career. He remains close with Propst, who believes he's always been able to handle the big stage. Prior to his arrival at Hoover, Lindsey spent two seasons at Colbert Heights, which was in Class 2A in 2005 and in Class 3A in 2006. He had also previously coached at Florence, Deshler, Sparkman and Springville. "When he first got to Hoover, I wasn't sure he could handle the 6A deal," Propst said. "Within two or three months I found out real quick. I came from a 1A school, so I related to those kind of guys who had to do a lot of different things. Chip's a guy who has worn a lot of hats and he's done an outstanding job. I'm awfully proud of him. I think this was a home run for Gus." After his lone season at Hoover, Lindsey became the head coach at Lassiter High School in Georgia for two seasons. He even coached against Prospt, who took a job a Colquitt County in Moultrie, Ga., after resigning at Hoover in 2007 with five state championships on his resume. Lindsey then served as quarterbacks coach at Troy in 2010, head coach at Spain Park in 2011 and 2012, an analyst at Auburn in 2013, offensive coordinator at Southern Miss in 2014 and 2015 and offensive coordinator at Arizona State last season. While dealing with several quarterback and receiver injuries at ASU, Lindsey's offense still ranked 39th nationally with 259.3 passing yards per game and 11th in the red zone with a 91.5 percent scoring rate. His numbers were particularly impressive at Southern Miss, where the Golden Eagles set five school records in 2015 -- offensive yards (6,758), passing yards (4,263), touchdowns (67), completions (312) and points (528). USM became the second school in FBS history to have a 4,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard receiver and two 1,000-yard rushers. "He's a guy that's easy going and people trust him and kids like playing for him," Propst said of Lindsey. "If I was an Auburn player I'd be excited about the opportunity to have some new things. Any time you change coordinators you refresh the offense and you don't get away from the core values." Since Nick Marshall left the Plains in 2014, Auburn has struggled in the passing attack with Sean White and Jeremy Johnson under center. The Tigers passed for 2,203 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2016. In 2015 they threw for 2,257 yards and just 11 touchdowns. Malzahn's rushing attack has remained stellar over the years, and Propst believes Lindsey will bring a more balanced attack to Auburn next fall. There's also a new quarterback on campus, former Baylor star Jarrett Stidham, who appears poised to take over the starting job. After he announced the hire, Malzahn said he's "retiring" his play-calling clipboard and giving Lindsey full freedom. Malzahn hands offensive keys to Lindsey Gus Malzahn said he is relinquishing control of Auburn's offense to new coordinator Chip Lindsey and that the rest of the Tigers' offensive coaching staff will remain in the same role as last season. "There's no question Gus Malzahn knows how to run the football," Propst said. "I think the mixture of what Chip does in the passing game and what Gus does in the running game will be a great mixture of offense, I really do. "I don't think any one person should have complete say on one side of the ball. You've got 10 guys coaching and you need input from everybody. People are going to have good ideas from time to time and you have to be smart enough to know what's good and what's not so good. Knowing Gus like I know Gus and knowing Chip for over 10 years, I just think it's a great marriage between two guys that I think trust one another." As for recruiting, Prospt feels Lindsey will thrive now that he's back in his home state where he climbed up the coaching ranks. Lindsey has only served on college coaching staffs for five seasons, but has had his fair share of success luring quarterbacks. Last season at Arizona State Lindsey helped land commitments from Ryan Kelley and Blake Barnett, who transferred from Oregon and Alabama, respectively. He also helped maintain a commitment from Dillon Sterling-Cole, who had previously pledged to play for ASU's previous offensive coordinator.
  12. Chip Lindsey eager to reunite with 'bright young coach' Kodi Burns at Auburn Tom Green | tgreen@al.com The last time Chip Lindsey and Kodi Burns were on the same coaching staff, the two never actually got to coach a game together. Lindsey is looking forward to changing that this time around after being named Auburn's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, joining an offensive staff on the Plains that includes Burns as wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator. This time last year, Lindsey and Burns were working hand in hand trying to shore up Arizona State's recruiting class ahead of the 2016 season after joining Todd Graham's staff following the 2015 season. Less than two months after accepting the position of running backs coach at Arizona State, however, Burns left to return to his alma mater for the position he has held the last 11 months on Gus Malzahn's staff. Lindsey, meanwhile, remained at Arizona State where he served as offensive coordinator last season. Fast forward a year, and Lindsey and Burns are reunited once again. "Yeah, he left my pretty quick, didn't he?" Lindsey said. "I'm excited." Outside of their brief stint together in Tempe, Lindsey -- who was hired as Rhett Lashlee's replacement on Saturday -- and Burns previously worked together at Auburn in 2013 on Malzahn's inaugural staff. Burns was an offensive graduate assistant while Lindsey spent the year as an offensive analyst for Auburn, which won the SEC title and came within 13 seconds of winning the BCS National Championship Game. This time around, both Lindsey and Burns have considerably bigger roles on the staff and will have to work closely together if Auburn's offense hopes to take steps forward in 2017. Burns will be tasked with further developing a young but talented corps of receivers, while Lindsey -- along with overseeing the offense as a whole -- will be in charge of developing the Tigers' quarterbacks, including returning starter Sean White, junior college transfer Jarrett Stidham, John Franklin III and redshirt freshman Woody Barrett. "Kodi was here in 1'3 with me and he's a bright young coach," Lindsey said. "Just looking forward, really, to working with that whole staff. I've worked with all those guys and they're just a great group of guys, great group of young men. Some older than others, I guess. "Those guys are men of character, guys you want to be around and you want your kids to play for and I'm looking forward to being around them."
  13. after reading some of the posts in this thread i believe we have some folks more interested in sitting on an ice cream cone and telling you what flavor it is and just pretend it is about football...........
  14. i sure am tired of reading where auburn does not stand a chance. especially from some of those idiots at al.com. and yes i do post some of their stuff but if it is info on the tigers i will usually repost if not a terrible article.
  15. i see my joke went over like a lead balloon. just for the record i was trying to have fun with with the mighty bird and his followers. he is often pretty funny and i just wanted to throw something out there. call me paranoid but it is meant to be fun and nothing more. hsvre a good one folks.............
  16. i cannot get super excited about stidham after we lost big bird. i am still upset they could not find a helmet big enough for him because we just lost four years of glory with the bird at the helm. and no it does not help the disappointment that he was offered a tryout with the eagles to fly the field in pregame etc. auburn football truly lost a legend before his career could take off!
  17. that cat dancing? did some funky chicken. i have not seen that done much at all since jr prom and i am 61 so that tells ya how old that dance is lol
  18. well good luck with this thread. last time i mentioned art briles i had my behind carved up like a christmas turkey. and the worst one was a mod. now that other people are seeing the light i feel vendicated to a small extent........
  19. so did stat use the word criminal as a noun or a verb? lol i think stat has posted enough on his time here for reasonable folks to realize he is not known for being dishonest but objective. he sure donates a lot of time to help us look at things clearer and i for one appreciate the time he takes for us.
  20. got a question folks. now i want to state that i am hard of hearing after playing rock on the weekends. that being said can anyone hear anything any of the reporters are saying? it is very frustrating not to be able to hear the questions. so thanx for giving a written rundown for us old depends types......
  21. i can remember my one and only wreck tech parade. the football players were in jammers and some dressed up like girls. the band came by and i was not paying attention and a tuba player blew a note in my face and i bet i jumped five feet.......man those were great times. heck aubuenr was so cool we slept with the doors open cept for the screen doors and no one ever bothered anyone...............
  22. i believe my dad dropped out after and probably went to korea. i cannot say anything for sure cus it would be speculating. tho i never attended a single class at aubirn it has and always will be my home in my heart.ther are no words strong enough to discribe my love for auburn..........................
  23. another thing i so dearly loved was the frat houses back then . you could walk by and get a piece of candy or a burger or whatever. does anyone remember a woman name eloise that used to work at archies for years? she was heavyset and spoke her mind but was funny and kind hearted. sadly later she killed a cheating husband and then killed herself..............such despair for a beautiful person..............
