Probably will be the same list in 2032. And Deion’s a one time shot. We’ve got a serious decades-long carb addiction. I'll give you one thing, you never seem to tire of beating that same old drum.

This is one of the problems with AU fans quit worrying if another school will either get the coach or steal one from us. Good lord. The consensus wishlist among our fanbase seems to be him and Kiffin, with Freeze at third. Maybe we could get one of those three, but we *have* to have a plan if all three of those fall through, because there is a very good possibility of that happening. My "backup plans" would be Grimes, Monken, and McGee. Edited October 25, 2022 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWALA Tiger 3,698 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) What was Freezes medical condition? He coached a game from a hospital bed if memory serves.. Would this be a hindrance to being hired at AU? We need to vet all candidates fairly Edited October 25, 2022 by NWALA Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter at this point. I know it's sacrilegious but when it comes opinions on coaching hires, I could care less what Bo Jackson has to say or Charles Barkley, Frank Thomas, Tim Hudson, or Cam Newton for that matter. Being a superstar athlete does not mean you necessarily know what's best for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnatl1 6,223 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Bo’s interview was very savvy. He credentialized prime and then put subtle pressure on the admin - “If they’re ready”. Game day at jax st will continue it. Edited October 26, 2022 by auburnatl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Norvell is getting fired at the end of this season. Why is it a foregone conclusion in some folks’ minds that if FSU ever comes open, that’s where Prime would want to go? Other than Harbaugh, there are next to no spotlight P5 programs where the HC is an alum and is successful. Fitzgerald at NW, but their expectations are to have a winning season. Frost was a grand failure. Was the hottest name in the biz at UCF. The expectations of an alum at his alma mater is magnified a million times more than if they weren’t. And if it goes south, like it did with Frost, can be an emotional nightmare. The risk vs. reward factor cannot be underestimated. Even Harbaugh had difficulties getting Michigan fans off his back just a short time ago. I don’t believe Prime would choose FSU as his first P5 spot. At AU as his spring board? Maybe. Still…it’s a monstrous risk taking over your alma mater. Edited October 26, 2022 by Viper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is incorrect then please feel free to let us all know what the entire process was? Haha I am not being hostile. You can look it up yourself but it started with an advisory committee and park executive search firm of Atlanta, Georgia. In that advisory committee was the likes of General Burgess and Quentin Riggins who are highly respected. Apparently they also were in the main interview along with ADAG. Clearly all of these proponents were in accord with the recommendation of CBH as head coach but ultimately ADAG had to bring it to the BOT and President for approval. So yes, he is ultimately the fall guy but let’s not act like there wasn’t those currently around the Auburn program who didn’t also support the recommendation and hiring. The advisory committee includes athletics director Allen Greene; Lieutenant General Ron Burgess, the executive vice president of Auburn; Dr. Beverly Marshall, an Auburn faculty athletic representative; Tim Jackson, executive associate athletics director; Bo Jackson, the former Auburn great and Heisman winner; Quentin Riggins, a former Auburn player and Board of Trustees member; Randy Campbell, a former Auburn letterman; and Michelle McKenna, the NFL’s chief information officer and an Auburn graduate Edited October 26, 2022 by DAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this but would we really have considered Harsin for a coach if Green hadn't met him? I seriously doubt it very much. No one else was picking him up. I just said ADAG because he was speaking on where he met him. While there were other coaches out there at smaller programs that were doing much better than he was doing in Boise at the time. Of Course just my opinion. Again, appreciate the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
