TIGGR82 4 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I hope a DC is named soon. It is dragging out too long and we all know how it turned out when Chiz had such a difficult time filling his OC position his last year. Let's hope this is not a repeat of that disaster. For what reason do you want him named sooner than later? I would think the sooner we get our DC named, the sooner the D staff gets set. That way, once the dead period is up the newly set staff is right out there ready to finish our recruiting class strong and show what we are prepared to do next year on D. JMO....

yeaauburn 21 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Muschamp was hired just days after he was fired at Florida. Us fans had no idea. The search went quite last year too. I suspect Gus has his guy. I'm thinking Allen also. However, at this point who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metafour 4,978 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Not really how it went down... This LOL. He was "on vacation"...ie: trying to land other Head Coaching jobs (Houston) before taking his back-up plan at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Remember, the FCS Championship game has yet to be played. Maybe we're looking at the J-Ville/SDST coaching ranks. I for one like the idea of bringing in a coach who can do more with less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wareagle1092 0 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yeah but it is a 4-2-5 defense but they look good so far against a very good pass offense in Western Kentucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick.AU 13,291 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sure are a lot of posts by PM with Tom Allen's picture since the start of this bowl game. Saying "Is Auburn DC deal done?" And "is this The Tigers new DC?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wareagle1092 0 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yeah I've heard, well Gus Loves a Defense that attacks.... hints the Ellis Johnson hire a couple years back. But also this will increase the depth on the defensive line, decrease the need for more LBs, and give Au's secondary which suppose to be the strength of the defense next season chances to make plays with 5 DBs on the base defense.

Please share your version and I will issue an apology for getting the story incorrect. No need to apologize, but as Metafour pointed out, Muschamp spent days on just his vacation alone. Not to mention that DC search was absolutely anything but quiet. Both our board and USC's were blowing up about him almost as soon as we let Ellis go. A good analogy for how that DC search went vs this one would be to say that last year's search was a nuclear explosion vs this year's church bells (at least now that the Kelly talk has died down).

Wareagle1092 0 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I don't care what defense he runs, as long as he gets AU to sack the QB consistently with or without Carl Lawson Ill be a happy man. Plus his defense has held a high powered offense to only one touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,939 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I prefer a 3-4 with a combination of man and 4 being played behind them. That said, a 4-2-5 is very effective and is played many times a game for most defenses. Most teams just don't base out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't hired by AU just days after he was fired. The Muschamp DC candidacy was anything but quiet. Us fans blew up this board and the SoCarl fans till the very last minute thought they had him. Do you and the former Shug player not remember all the hoopla while Muschamp was on vacation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
