tigeraddikt 1,780 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 1. He built Prattville into a team that was able to beat Hoover when Propst owned 6A HS football in the state. I think we can all see the parallel to Saban and Bama. 2. He kept the JSU machine rising after Jack Crowe got it launched about 10 years ago. 3. UAB was buried under Garrick McGee. He was a horrible HC that put them behind even further than where they were under Neal Calloway. For Bill Clark to come in and resurrect that entire thing top to bottom, THEN keep it on life support when they were self-buried, to win multiple CUSA titles with a bunch of 1 and 2 star players...are you kidding me? He would have AU relevant and able to consistently hold their own against the Bama machine. Wouldn't happen overnight, but this AU program is nothing close to a total rebuild. What he provides, accountability, is what Gus sorely lacked and what AU surely needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 35,380 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The fact that we would have to make a case is telling: With that being said I do respect what he has done in the past. He is the farthest down on the list for me before CKS...It feels like they won't somebody willing to be micromanaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagleHunter1221 1,710 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Bill Clarke is probably going to be it and it’ll set out program back even further. Auburn is straight settling for Bill Clarke if he will even take it! This does not spark excitement at all, not in anyone. It’s boring and so Auburn it ain’t even funny.

Butthead 525 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ick. Auburn is a top 9 to 12 job. Taxes and quality of life there may make it a little higher for some people. I think our expectations should be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone1430 1,358 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ridiculous to even consider this guy. We are supposedly the premier job opening and we have to stoop to this guy? No offense to him he’s probably a good coach but this is Auburn with no other job competition and this is the best we can do??? Pitiful Auburn is about to lose a lot of Family support if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 35,380 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 BTW: my frustration is not a denouncement of Bill Clark. More so, how horrible our leaders seem to be. How horrible our past coaches seem to be in creating a toxic environment and how ridiculous all of the leaks and inner house stuff has been out in the open.

mdp5150 167 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 You mean to tell me a team that won the NC in the past decade and finished a runner up a 2nd time can only do as good as Bill Clark? Pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnEagle79 2,227 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think he can win here at the same clip Gus did. Not my top choice, but he's better than Steele at this point. I'd take MC, Kiffin, Freeze, Nappier, Sark, Venables first. The only problem is all of those guys are smart enough to see that our leadership is a clown show. If it's Bill Clark, we could've done worse, but we could've done a lot better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdp5150 167 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The sad truth is Auburn may have to hit rock bottom before the fans have enough power to kick out the boosters that like to play fantasy football with the program we dedicate our time and money to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
