You mean he'll recruit as well as Orgeron did at LSU. OK. While recruiting is important, it's not the end-all, be-all. See the aforementioned Orgeron. 22 hours ago, cole256 said: Well Gus also only snagged one or two 5 stars a cycle so either way it goes he'd still be doing good. But I wouldn't imagine you could know the impact Sanders would have as far as kids and their parents trusting to come here The Cajuns trusted Orgeron. He was "One of their own". How'd that work out? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to go that route you actually have many more faliures going the other way.

Snagging one or two by selling the "make HBCU's great" pitch won't be available to him at Auburn He's Deion freaking Sanders. There isn't a single recruit or coach from high school, college or NFL, past or present, who hasn't heard of him. You would literally be on the mother of all scavenger hunts to find a single person from that group who hasn't heard of him. Maybe an Aussie punter, which who frickin cares. Of all the available realistic candidates, who is more well known than Prime? Last January, I stated we need a rock star HC. @Quietmaninthecorner @Randman5000@1716 @DAG @PowerOfDixieland laughed, scoffed, facepalmed and questioned how Harsin could possibly get fired in Year 2 and how AU could be put in a position to land a rock star HC. THAT very moment, much to their chagrin, has arrived. Auburn will never EVER be in a situation where they can find a bigger one. Prime is a pied piper at a HBCU. He will do the exact same at his next P5 program. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of A Tiger 649 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 As a newby here, I won't go into my reasons but just for the record for those who keep track, I'm not a fan of Deion. If we hire him I will support him but I hope we choose another path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember your statements when the Prime bandwagon is filling up at a P5 program and you're the last in line. Prime was also among the last two choices on a Top 250 OL.

aublue88 145 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Since none of us have an opinion that counts towards anything more than message board popularity, in other words won't determine the next hire, I am still perplexed at some of the reasons some coaches are picked as not just candidates but must haves or all is lost. No one can guarantee total success even with high level recruiting wins(FIsher). I personally like Lane Kiffin and think he could do a great job at AU because he would have more resources than at OM. I also can admit when he went for the fake punt on his own 15 that my choice wavered a little. My reasons for wanting him to coach at AU are simple, he runs an exciting offense and has proven himself to be a winner in the SEC west. He will need a very strong DC! I am not saying others cannot be successful rather just saying he is the most proven candidate going by most standards . Freeze would also be a close second going by the same credentials. Until Harsin is fired or let go or whatever you call sending someone off with $15 million dollars, and an AD is hired, do we truly know what names are even being considered?
