Potatooooooes!! 1,399 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Not getting Deion because he doesn’t want to be here is one thing. Him not coming because we don’t take him seriously is something entirely different 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Sanders 123 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 1a. Prime 1b. Freeze 3. Kiffin That's my top 3. Could interchange Prime and Freeze. Prime because of his recruiting and ceiling. Freeze has proven he is a winner at the SEC level. Kiffin is also a great coach, but I just wish he recruited at a higher level. With that said, he may could recruit at a higher level at Auburn, plus the transfer portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 18,248 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 was ol miss supposed to be down this year and rebuilding? and their record is 8-1. with a great staff we could take over the world. and folks keep predicting sanders to do bad and yet look where he is, the shape the program was in, and what he has done in two years i believe? on game day many predicted sanders and company would lose and they stomped that team pretty muc. but is his son a senior? if not that would be the problem i would worry about most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for Coach Dye, and was the DC or DB coach for Fla.St. when they won the NC in 2013. Just saying, he's from the south. This is not a "plug" for him on my part. Is CK a serious contender for hc at AU ? My cousin's wife used to baby sit Kelly. She and my cousin are very good friends with CK's parents. He would love to come to AU, BUT, the program has been in such turmoil that he is reluctant to even be considered. I would love for him to be our next DC. Who knows ?

I guess i was thinking Chip Kelly. My bad and thanks for the correction. So i just google who Charles Kelly is and he is the "associate defensive coordinator" at Alabama if the internet is accurate. Seems like a reach for next AU head coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes some head scratching in game calls (Auburn game last year as one example) and I don't think his recruiting is elite. On top of that, we'd have to pay a lot to get him and he hasn't sustained anywhere yet (leaves after 2 or 3 seasons). For the money, we're probably better off with other candidates. Who would be able to recruit at an elite level at Ole Miss??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, who really knows, we have been surprised and shocked in the past before by a couple of choices just like this latest AD hire. Cohen came out of nowhere.

Maybe this Deion guy…but no Ole Miss is a state school, has access to regional talent, in the SEC, will spend money, they have resources, just not the winning tradition. The more they win and compete with the big boys the better their recruiting can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU North 164 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I like Deion and wouldn't be upset at all with him being our next HC. I think he would probably be the best 'immediate' recruiter. My main question would involve his choice for the OC & DC positions. Does he have any ties to proven P5 coordinators that would follow him?

Elephant Tipper 430 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Now that the confusion between Charles Kelly and Chip Kelly has been cleared, I am putting my 2 cents in for Charles Kelly as our next DC. He did well at FSU for Jimbo in defeating AU, plus he is an excellent recruiter.

I agree he needs to surround himself with experienced guys and it looks like he knows that too AND can do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUatHeart 640 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I’m going to say that I do not want Mark Stoops. Talk about a boring hire. I don’t care what he’s done at UK, he just seems dull to me, and I don’t think he would be able to recruit like we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,833 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) The NUMBER ONE most important thing is for Roberts to have convinced the boosters to back Cohen. Because after being assured that Cristobal was coming here last time, I'm nervous that we're just going to end up with Charles Kelly, if we can even get that. But if we can somehow get anyone else on the list Zeek posted, I'll be psyched! Edited October 31, 2022 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn tried to get the Ark AD this past week and failed. But they tried. So next they went after the MSU AD. It shows that we are willing to spend a lot of money and go after the best.
