It damages relationships and reputations, it takes a huge toll on the family (imagine the son right now in HS), and will always follow you. Even if innocent you'll always be asked to rehash it. This is not a set-up question. Are you primarily concerned about the salacious accusations or the concerns about handling the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be earth shattering! Already talked to the bammers . They believe Prime time will get us to the top. Also, they have the memes ready to go if we hire Freeze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,833 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I would rather have Deon, Dell or Grimes, BUT I will accept Freeze. If he hires Luke as OC, I'm officially excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him prove it at a D1 program first. Then it will too late. Auburn is not a top 20 hire as of today. He wiil be a top ten coach by then. MAJOR NIL will follow him as we speak. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only taken Deon one coaching season to show what he's capable of. NFL Hall of Famer, Polished enough to be CBS Pre Game NFL host, damn sure knows the x's and o's, and a tremendous motivator. Has so many contacts in the Pros (including fellow Hall of Famers) and in college, and could line up a coaching dream team- OC and DC + position coaches, and lights out recruiters. But people be worried about what they perceive as shuck and jive from his playing days. Deon is all grown up now but still doesn't fit their old school stereotypes. Amen! Their old way of thinking is why we are here AGAIN wasting millions and preaging ourselves, while becoming the joke of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re willing to play ball on the NIL side, we should be able to recruit as well as anyone My concern with Deion would be player discipline and work ethic. His team played some of the most undisciplined football I have ever seen against South Carolina St. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying, he's on his way out, but it's still up to the guy to sign off so long as he is still the President. I don't see why he couldn't refuse to sign off. The board could force him to retire tomorrow I suppose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they're substantiated, I have no interest in them other than hoping the people who started them get head lice. And I'll freely confess, I have no idea what to make of the relationships issue. Harsin may rub my fur the wrong way sometimes, but I'll hold out hope so long as there's reason to. Anyway, thanks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) What would Prime's staff look like? How about: Secondary: Adam "PacMan" Jones Linebackers: Vonteze Burfict DLine: Nick Fairley (need an Auburn man there somewhere) Receivers: Terrell Owens or Antonio Brown (toss up) RB's: Duane Henderson (may be too old or dead) if so, Tre Mason OLine: tough one here, maybe Richie Incognito? QB: obvious choice, Colin Kaepernick Special Teams: Rich Bisaccia would stay this time OC: Kellen Moore DC: Herm Edwards Edited February 9, 2022 by oracle79 wrong name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 What are the differences between Freeze and Gus's offenses? Guessing more sophisticated routes.
