It’s not even close. And as I keep saying about lack of experience, he has the unparalleled clout to surround himself with assistants who do. He, like Saban, can be the delegator and let his assistants do their jobs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin color and the fact that he is outspoken is intolerable to many. I don’t think the color of his skin is the issue at all. Outspoken? Maybe, but if people thought he could be ready to win games in the SEC it wouldn’t matter. Who knows? He might get a shot to prove it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead 525 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Prime is the ONLY potential candidate that significantly moves the needle in terms of recruiting, marketing, and NIL. Kiffin moves the needle, but nothing to this extent. We would be THE story on ESPN for months. Hire a bad ass AD and get this fricking thing done. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone4jc 2,456 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Cody ( Prime Time ) is not leaving Jackson St. He has unfinished business there and wants to see it through. He doesn’t need the money, he seems to really enjoy what he is doing and I don’t see home wanting to take on the stress that comes with coaching at Auburn.

Deion has the highest ceiling by far with the ability to drastically move the needle. He’s the obvious game changer. Lane would be a distant 2 as far as moving the needle but I’d still be really happy with it, and then there’s another big drop off to the rest of the remaining reasonable candidates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO This may be true, but it would be a mistake to pre-judge. If he's willing to interview, you darn well give him an interview. And if he shows real interest, he absolutely should be strongly considered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like u said. No preconceived notions... Give top 3 candidates sit down interviews. Deion has to be in top 3. Do homework and research all 3 from A to Z.. Then make the best decision. But,if it's true, they already have their choice. Then no dog and pony show saying we interviewed all 3 and choose Coach so and so.. In other words, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s no different than GM and even has character issues. Is that what this University wants? If he’s hired, it would be hell or hard to argue otherwise. Just a couple of dimes worth.

JMO I have already linked two articles and a video in this thread where he (Prime) said he has already interviewed for three P5 programs and his goal is to move up. What else does he need to say? No one but him knows where he’ll be next season, but I would be floored if he’s still at Jackson State this time next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the news that came out about USU yesterday change anything? I could see the fsu thing. Someone mentioned Norvells buyout being 20mil so not sure if they’d have the pockets for that though. That being said could you imagine if jimbos seat gets hotter though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they're in a similar boat to us in that regard. But come on. If it's between us and FSU who do you think he's going to choose? That's part of why I just think Prime to Auburn is too awesome to happen, and that's not necessarily "JABA."
