tomcat 591 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Who would ever have dreamed that Auburn would pay the basketball coach more than the football coach……Obviously, speculation on my part, but that’s my bet. ….and darned happy about it!

Viper 3,537 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 He’s the perfect HC. Even during the Barkley/Person days, I never imagined AU becoming a blue blood in bball. We will be that within 5 yrs. Hate to make the comparison, but this season will be like Saban 2008. We’ll get really close...may even win it all…likely fall just short…but the 5-star recruiting is just beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people are speculating that Steven is going to be the Head Coach in waiting. From everything that's been mentioned, Steven is an amazing gameday coach and the best X's and O's guy on the staff. He preps or at least helps prep the gameplan for every game, if I'm not mistaken. He was also the big reason why we got Kessler. He might not have the same charisma as Bruce but that would be hard to match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good deal for Auburn, IMO. More interested if there is language for higher assistant salaries. Agreed on being an Auburn friendly deal. Probably has something in that deal that Bruce values as well. Sounds like could have been a mutually beneficial deal to both parties. Kudos to all involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,281 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Starts at 5.4. If nothing changes, year 8 would be 7.4 mill a year base. Pretty good bump from year to year in basketball terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming he kept his pay increase low to increase the pay for his staff as well as make sure that other things that he wanted got done. Everything I've ever read/seen from Bruce has been about how he wants to make sure this program can be sustained after he retires and I think he made sure of it with not getting paid over $6 million.

Popular Post tgrogan21 6,198 Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 Someone else posted on another board talking about how Bruce could have squeezed Auburn for A LOT more money like a former football coach. The fact that he didn't tells you all that you need to know about Bruce and what he wants to do for this program. Couldn't ask for a better ambassador for Auburn. 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
