around4ever 4,139 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think he pursued Kelly and it took longer than expected and it publicly backfired. So I think he spent the rest of the time before the dead period focusing on recruiting. Plus, with the whole Kelly debacle going public, he and his staff might be a little more tight with info... Pure speculation on my part... It may be speculation, but my gut feeling is you're dead on. He's being much more tight lipped now. My speculation, as well.

Like the pre-season hype about JJ, Duke and the play-off quality team.....hope Gus is learning to keep his mouth shut. There is nothing gained by floating comments out to our beat writers who don't really have AU's interests in mind anyway. Media folks and others complain about NS keeping a tight rein on his players and coaches with the media....JMO but he has the right idea and Gus could learn something from him on that point. Tell us about the DC....when there is something to tell us.....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Regardless of who the DC is I hope Coach Malzhan gets some staff balance to both offense and defense. Offensive Coaches Malzhan Lashlee Craig Horton Fountain Grimes Defensive Coaches Def Coord Garner Thompson DB coach I'd like to see a little more balance on defense for coaches, regardless of scheme. Like Garner the Tackles coach, bring in someone to coach Ends, Thompson linebacker, and a new DB coach plus the new DC over see all aspects. We would have to drop a offensive coach and not sure exactly who that should be. Possibly Fountain, Hbacks could fall under Horton, TE's under Craig and Grimes depending on the players ability. If is a 3-4 Coach, Garner to coach DL, Thompson outside backers, another LB coach and a DB coach... I just feel to have a better defense they need 5 full time coaches and offense 5 full time coaches. Not 6 on one side 4 on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Is Allen even a candidate? Is this someone that was brought to our attention like pretty much the rest of the ones we have seen. I wish we had a list of actual legitimate candidates that Gus is looking at. I guess once we see who Gus is for then we all will know. Then again, maybe not.

I guess once we see who Gus is for then we all will know. Then again, maybe not. I think one source for saying Allen was being considered is PM. But, at this point, it seems no one really knows anything except Gus and those closest to him. In all honesty, probably best that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle2423 357 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I like Allen as a man and a coach. I think he would be a great fit at Auburn. That is more important than what scheme he runs. My thoughts exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, is there another guy on our staff that's had a better overall performance than CSF? Grimes, perhaps, but that's debatable. It just doesn't seem right to demote a coach/coordinator that has player up for a national award when there are other coaches that seem to be less effective at their jobs. WDE!

Not 6 on one side 4 on the other. I think you're confused. Fountain doesn't just coach TEs and FBs, he coaches the entire special teams as well (the one with a national award finalist and a recent player to NFL). Who should coach that? He barely even counts as an offense coach. Also, Malzahn coaches all positions, not just offense so you can take him off the offense list so it's really more like 4.5 offense coaches and 4 defensive coaches. About where it should be.
