johnnyAU 3,745 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Most figured this would only be a one-year stop for Mason. He could probably go be a HC at a smaller school or a DC at a big time school with lots of money, better recruiting and an established HC. It would suck for us to be looking for yet another coordinator, but I can't say I'd blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MustardSeed Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Bad timing. Ted Roof just got hired elsewhere 😂 I am 100% indifferent on Mason at this point. He did plenty this year to get fired but he also did plenty to save his job. The bama game was an anomaly. The players played above their heads on that one. The rest of the season was very meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,085 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 This would be hilarious to watch everybody complain as we watch his defenses dominate. It would cause a direct look in the mirror as to why we are constantly in these crappy situations 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was calling fronts, coverage and mixtures of zone and man that were the type of exotic stuff you'd see on Sundays. BYoung had no idea who was rushing or dropping into coverage. Sure, the players executed but he called a great game. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDUBB4AU 5,287 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Bend don’t break , play 87 yards off the WR. I’m not sure Mason is a priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait till he gets his guys in and has the full defense installed. It was clear to me that he didn't have his more exotic fronts installed at a level he felt comfortable calling them until the Iron Bowl. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have been better against PSU and UGA and MSU were atrocious but considering he was trying to put in a new defensive scheme I think he did decent for most of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAAubie 512 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I want to keep him! This may not be anything more than wishful thinking on A&M's part (if this is actually a thing for them). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnEagle79 2,188 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I don't care one way or the other, but I'd really prefer not to be losing coordinators to other SEC schools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still put the 2nd half of MSU partly on the offense. You can't have the defense on the field for almost the entire 3rd quarter against Leach and not have them gassed by the 4th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucom96 1,652 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I hate bend don’t break, but I hate the idea we’re something less than a parallel move to a team like A&M. Those who have always wanted Auburn to be that perpetual underdog who gets a big win or two a decade may be getting their wish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Oh well, but understandable. They got the money and a great defensive roster. Schmedding will get ridiculed and Harsin will get criticized for Boise gang. There were rumors that Jeff was going to take on a bigger role in the IB game plan before the game. He is a good football mind and will be our DC sooner or later 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsAU 1,389 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Meh. I think we can do better than Mason, but I wouldn’t hate him being retained either. His defense was very hot and cold this year, and wayyyy to much bend don’t break. If A&M wants to open up the bank to buy him out, go for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Best thing we could do if he leaves is bring Steele back. If Mason gets offered the job obviously it's an absolute no brainer to take at this current point in time. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that really happened then we can potentially assume what caused the D to look so different in that game, because it was entirely different gameplan than we had seen the entire year. And a million times more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he never had a game calling plays anywhere remotely close to that the rest of the season, and considering the MSU debacle and USCe coaches literally calling him out for making it too easy…. I’d definitely call that an anomaly. Whether it was a sign of things to come or something else I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,085 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Is this all schools or is it just us where the coach when he's successful it's always the assistants that really should get the credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
