Bro Johnny Mac 1,410 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) We have the opportunity for an earthshakingly great hire. A coach that will automatically put us in a positive light. Take out the recruiting and X’s and O’s for a second and what we need is a coach who will automatically get us in a positive position in the college football landscape. Auburn is at 50 year low point. Yes we need a great coach and recruiter but we also need a coach who can re energize us and rehabilitate our image. Sanders is the man for the job. Auburn could make history and change the whole image of who we are. He could turn us down, but we need to make him say no before we move on to someone else Edited November 1, 2022 by Bro Johnny Mac 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main concern though would be whether his recruiting mojo could survive a couple of seasons of 7-5/8-4ish results, which would probably be more realistic than not for a newcomer to the SEC (I'd love to be wrong, of course). People just want to see progress. If we are 7-5, 8-4 and bringing in elite classes that’s progress. Deion is the guy to get. My gosh goofy gene won a NC here! Granted the landscape of the SEC is much different 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be my number #1 kiffin and Freeze are interchangeable for me afterwards Rhule 3rd Grimes if everyone said no. All of these guys can be successful here in my opinion. How many can get us over the hump is a different story. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArgoEagle 1,894 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is my take simply put: I see 4 coaches who could immediately make us SEC & possibly national contenders next year Kiffin, Prime,Freeze, Rhuel. Any other coach we hire would probably upgrade us next year, but would probably take 3 yrs or so to get us to be contenders.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two immediate impact 5* kids. I wouldn't be shocked if we saw one of the 5* DBs in the state to start looking hard as us too. That's just the surface. Deion would have an impact that literally no other coach could have. Back him with the NIL war chest we're building, give him literally 10x the money for a staff and it'll be an amazing amalgamation of NFL and college coaches. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, everyone that wants to poke holes in Deion (which there are holes) acts like no one else has risks. I'll take Deion, watching him amass a **** TON of talent and hope he can figure it out with million dollar OCs and DCs to help. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been told and have read by many people on here that Deion couldn’t recruit at this level. Yet, his name is being brought up by top recruits without being promoted.

Auburn has a unique opportunity to create real excitement. He is an inspiration to young people. In recruiting alone, with all the assets Auburn brings to the table, Deion would do an amazing job imo. The guy knows football and what it takes to have a winning staff too.

If they follow suit on the HC. It would be Freeze or Kiffin. Deion is 1 for me. But I think the guy will be Danny Hugh for the reason listed above as well as another very important reason......

auburnatl1 5,556 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) I would argue this is the worst situation maybe ever because UGA is now program level elite (at our expense). That’s a new one. Middle of our recruiting foot print. We’re becoming a recruiting afterthought and being starved, with currently a Vanderbilt roster. And our rep isn’t great. Yes we have hidden potential, but how anyone thinks a non splash hire (prime or - maybe maybe maybe lane) can fix this is an….. optimist.

If Kiffen and Sanders say no, he's a good third option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburnguy101 325 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 My list would be Deion and Kiffin. After that, don’t really care. Oh and Freeze would get a call just so I would ask him if he would want our job and then tell him we already hired Deion or Lane and laugh at him while hanging up on him… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think just the way he got his name out there with his success at Baylor and coaching in the NFL, may attract enough talent to AU to make an immediate impact. Just a hunch.
