AEAugirl 9,649 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 TRob with a staff of veterans like Thompson will do just fine. I think he is ready. I really hope we go after Brad Lawing at FSU and move Garner to somewhere else on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn2oregon 0 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 All you guys saying TRob isnt ready, you do know he is wanted other places right? It only makes sense to make him DC. It keeps the same system in place, and it will help keep the class we have, committed. I hope Gus is smart enough to offer TRob, but at the same time, I hope TRob will stay at home. I do seem to remember him telling CWM "there is only one place I will follow you" when he (TRob) was deciding wether or not to stay on staff at UF.

Tiger 8,854 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hes always worked under CWM so I actually see him going to USCe. He would be DC either at AU, USCe, or Maryland. With that point equalizing everything Auburn doesn't look like the smart choice because of the fair amount of uncertainty surrounding the program right now. If he follows his heart he will be at AU running the D (if offered) if he follows his head he's going to work with one of the guys he has extensive working history with.

NoALtiger 4,012 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Promote T-Rob. No search, no delay. Do it now. I think this is the way it absolutely needs to be done. Quick simple and let's move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnall01 0 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looks like we have at least another 24 hours of waiting. USCe board has called a meeting at 9am tomorrow to discuss an athletic department contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au701948 1,065 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Well if I get my wish, the "other" decision has already been made and hopefully mutually agreed upon: As soon as Monday morning's sunrise CGM announces the "already" hired new DC as T-Rob. We would maintain a good semblance of continuity, maintain (hopefully) most of our commitments AND have a DC that may make it a longterm situation. Just my wishes..no insider info and no threads.

FoundationEagle 637 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 How about that, it looks as though I was telling you the truth with my posts that I read on other websites about Muschamp leaving. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and then In fairness he was only right about saying that somewhere else someone else posted something else. I think we've all got those type sources.

MIGMAN 16 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Lose one of the top defensive minds in football and hire an assistant who has never been a coordinator at any level. What could possibly go wrong? PLENTY of quality DCs out that are looking or would leave where they are to come to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 You can put the "if Muschamp goes to SC" to bed. ESPN is now reporting that SC will hire Will to be their new head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I have not heard anyone mention but I think Thompson would make a darn fine DC, He has been around long enough to know good coaches to bring aboard, and he is a good recruiter as well. How about as Co-head to support TRob and keep stability I like it, but would that be enough to keep T-Rob here if he gets other offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd4au 1,145 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 What about Manny Dias(not sure about the spelling)from Miss St?He seems like a pretty good up and coming young DC we might could hire away from Mullen.But I also like T-Rob and Lance Thompson from the current staff.

I agree..will need a LB coach...and one has to wonder how the vets Garner and Thompson will respond to working for Robinson. They both are veterans and have been coaching defense for a while. Side note another DC will more than likely want his own guys, so $$ will be needed to make someone go away unless they get reassigned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
