Second, I would love Lincoln Riley at Auburn. People at USC adore him. And I’m glad you brought up up Lanning. I have actually heard his name being brought up and that would actually intrigue me. My question is would he actually be attainable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely now, but I don't remember anyone saying Harsin before he was hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where I begin to struggle… I've said it previously, HC aren't typically the recruiter, they're the closer. Recruiting is more about the staff than the HC. There are many that could build elite staffs. I believe Grimes fits that perfectly. He is a great closer with a even better network 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like the new elite recruiting paradigm….. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who, besides Deion, would you consider a good coach? Outside of Deion, I believe Grimes would be a great x's and o's coach. His tenure would completely depend on the staff he could get around him. The same could be said for Deion, but I believe he would have better pull for assistants and recruits. I could see Grimes trying to bring in a coordinator like Meacham from TCU or Scalley from Utah. Both are good coordinators that have been at their schools for years, but neither have experience recruiting in the southeast so it could be a little tricky on that front. Freeze gives you x's and o's but I think you would lose a ton of fan support. Every time I think a new group of 5 coach is going to break out someone like App St. drops a game to Texas State or James Madison that they should have won. Outside of him having no coaching experience outside of Ohio, people never seem to throw out Fickell's name anymore. Any idea why that might be? Cincy is 5-1 with their only loss being to Arkansas week 1. They aren't destroying teams this year like they did last year, but the man is still like 56-13 as a head coach.

My thought on attaining those two is a hard NO. Riley can get USC back to prominence and into playoff discussions. He did at OK, but never got past the SEC team he faced. Lanning is a first year coach in the PAC as well. He’s not ready for the SEC. good thoughts, but personally I disagree strongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said though, I would come to accept him as I do most Auburn coaches. As long as it is not Freeze, I’m good hahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd most likely be Freeze. Will the news that came out last week about sexual assault have any effect? And if we go after Freeze (wouldn't be thrilled but I'll take it), will Sankey sign off on it? I don't want to even think about missing on Sanders, Grimes AND Freeze. Edited October 18, 2022 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
