He just has to hire the right guys. Thanks a lot @autiger88 I am completely on the train. Freeze or Sanders. No O Brien. Grimes is a distant third. What's his coaching network like? What are his philosophies? Honestly have no idea and would be a big question. Knowing how to play corner at an all time level doesn't always translate to coaching or coordinatinga defense. We've seen players fail at coaches a lot....but then some succeed like Kerr has been an innovator. I'm sure he has contacts from his time in the league. We will pay above market and get who we want. But would be interested in his hypothetical staff. Probably never know. I could easily get on board with Deion Edited September 20, 2022 by W.E.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s what we do: call Sanders call Freeze call Kiffin and anybody else At this point, my top two are Freeze and Sanders. I think someone is going to give Sanders a shot, and just like when we passed on Kirby, we’ll be sorry if it wasn’t us. I'd prefer a coach who has been successful and in the SEC first. I don't see why Deion can't be on any tier after along with OV/DC types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing Matt Rhule tried to do with the panthers but failed, but currently the man genius Mike Campbell is exploiting now out with the Dolphins. He likes an high octane offense and runs out of the shotgun mostly (Nothing new under the sun). I couldn't tell you what base defense he runs. I have no clue what his coaching network is like but I imagine he wouldn't be limited to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUgrad97 50 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 A bad loss and it could happen overnight. A losing season and it will happen before 2023. If he can somehow grab lightning in a bottle and turn things around with pixie dust and smoke and mirrors to finish with 9 wins he could earn himself 1 more year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me Deion’s passion/connection and the success of Freeze or Cristobal (another guy I would call) and you’ve got yourself the next Saban. But Deion strikes me as the guy that would flourish because he would let his coordinators do their job. Then again, I also thought Harsin would do way better, so my confidence in judging one’s character is shaky at the moment.

Even during the Covid season 6-3 against all SEC teams, could’ve been worse at least. I mean 6-3, then throw in the three gimme games and we’re 9-3? It has definitely gone downhill since Harsin was hired. We drove up to Nashville for the music city bowl when we set a first half record for most points scored in the history of a bowl game versus the Big Ten’s Purdue. If you remember, that was the same year Purdue beat Ohio State. UCF has that same hope.. and if you watch close enough, you will see Gus 2. Bad Gus. Bryan Harsin hasn't had near the amount of time that Gus had at Auburn. The program was crashing when Harsin stepped in, It has now crashed. There was no stopping it. I made several posts on Tapatalk site about this. Some could argue that Kevin Steele should have been retained. Me, I hated losing Rodney Garner. Great D-Line Coach, even better Recruiter. If I were BH , I would have retained both. That is on BH. Everything should be evaluated after the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPTiger 5,494 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I think our former players would embrace a Deion hire. The guy was as good as Bo. And, he would should that clip of Bo running him over to show AU has a special place in his heart (it was the one time in his career where he got dominated). He would recruit like crazy. Teams with the better players usually win!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 4 state titles as the OC of Trinity Christian in TX before taking Jackson State. The Jackson State experiment has gone pretty well too in my humble opinion. This is Deion Sanders’ living and career. Does he have other business ventures? Sure, but so does other coaches who opens up camps, restaurants, and do commercials. I guess if you want to go down the summer school analogy, he’s convinced these kids to come to summer school in Jackson, Mississippi, when they’ve the chance to go to summer camp. You know, the same issue the past two coaches have struggled to convince kids to come to the summer camp in Auburn, Alabama. There may not be any hostility, but calling a ball coach that’s had to shrug off people calling him an “act” or “showman” while winning as a ball coach, where he’s had the opportunity to coach at, is pretty disrespectful. What’s crazier for me is that there’s plenty of former players who have become coaches, even Coach Gus Malzahn, Coach Bryan Harsin, etc., only difference is, Deion Sanders was a very successful player. Sanders has been in the world of football since whenever he started playing, to when he was an on-tv analyst, to now coaching football since 2012, but it’s somebody who has probably never coached a game in football who’s calling this man’s job not his “lifetime calling.” Pretty bush to me. Very well said. Completely agree with everything said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been called a lot of things by people who know more about the creed than I apparently do. But I draw the line at Freeze. I'll give up supporting AU Football altogether at that point.
