Kittley is getting paid 200k. Pay him 500k and let him be the next OC when Grimes leaves for HC gig Genius!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,763 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) I know I’ve been harping on familiarity but my least favorite would be hill. The other two between DC and Dell is high risk/high reward. They would honestly be here for recruiting purposes mostly. Maybe they have been having great play calling minds underneath the scene and they just need the chance? I don’t know. The good thing is you have CBH and the WR coach which could be of assistance.

I could be wrong and if it did work then it could be very successful. I think you made the joke about Dell Mcgee being our Jon Gruden which is hilarious, but I think a hiring of Dell McGee and haign McGee and Keisau as co-ocs would be huge. It would give Harsin someone who is familiar with what he wants in Keisau, but would show that he knows he needs an elite recruiter as well and that is what Dell is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes he would be here for recruiting OC in name only which is does not make happy for personal reasons but it could be a good thing for Auburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 12,106 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 We had threads during the HC hunt with a “list of 3 candidates”. None of them were ever Bryan Harsin. So I’m not buying it. What’s more likely is these are the 3 guys that you can for sure eliminate. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU9377 6,033 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 1 hour ago, steeleagle said: I think Craig's bad terms were with coaches who are no longer here. I think he got along with administrators more than some coaches. If I remember, it was a LAshley/Craig issue under Gus, that Gus didn't handle real well. Craig, if he is a serious candidate, would be a great recruiter, and would surely make Harsin call his own plays. It could be Harsin, knowing he needed to do a lot of work to rebuild the program, wanted an established OC/ex HC like Bobo to be experienced enough, and similar in offensive strategy, to help him. Now that Harsin has a lot of his plan in place, he can spend more time in playcalling? Isn't this what Jimbo Fisher does at TaM? If he couldn't work for Gus or Coach O, how the heck is he gonna work well with Harsin? He works well with Jimbo because he won't cross Jimbo. Jimbo was his coach at AU. If they are talking to DC, I wouldn't be shocked if it was to bring him to AU as WR coach and recruiting coordinator and move Kinseau to OC.
