Source close to the team? In what manner? The ball boy? Groundskeeper? Not even Cadillac knows whether Prime is a long shot, short shot or a mid-range jumper. Wake me when it says "source close to the AD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is the case. We've only had one coach in the past 40 years who hasn't played for or been awarded a national championship by major NCAA-designated selectors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably shouldn’t go into a hire with this being the prevailing thought, but what if he flops? Then you’re in a worse spot financially than optically, and that’s pretty tough to do To me, if you consider Lane and Deion in equal tiers as a hire, which I feel like many do, then I’d at least think about the gap in money they’d realistically ask for. If Deion says…5-6? You probably can eat that on the chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s not all about the cash. Deion’s proven he’s not purely driven by money - but hes an alpha competitor type, so he is driven by ego.. If he doesn’t feel we’re treating him like a premier tier one coach. he’ll wait and continue doing jax st till he is. Heck, he may give 1/2 the $ back to the to hcbu’s. That’s not the point. Imo if we don’t treat him like a big time coach, the discussion will end quickly. Lanes motives are…. simpler.

It's not my money but I wouldn't have a problem giving DS 5 years for 35 mill. Just think of the money that he is going to bring into the university with the exposure that it is going to get. Couple that with the talent he will draw to the plains. In my opinion, he will pay for himself. I think the key for DS will be that we have enough money in the pool for his coaching staff. I think it would take at least 1 million per coordinator, maybe slightly more and then 500k per position coach. I just threw numbers out there, because I have not researched what our current coordinators and positions coaches are making now or what other SEC staffs look like. Taking care of his coaches is important to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taker 494 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Do you think if we got LK that he would continue his call in show and bring Layla with him since she is now an AU fan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perception out there is that Auburn is a huge rebuild job and the next HC better have a strong stomach to deal with boosters and the fan base, who expect near instant success. This new crew won’t get any more patience than the last bunch. Auburn has to pay top dollar guaranteed because candidates will be skittish after the fiasco in February + firing xCBH in 1 1/2 yrs. That’s ok, Auburn has tons of $$ to throw at this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But UF has a massive budget, endowment, and booster system and they’re still a mess. Money absolutely is huge but it’s not like we’re surround by schools that don’t have at least as much.

ScotsAU 1,390 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Never. If we hire Lane, I’ll support Auburn. But I’ll never support Kiffin. He’s an immature little turd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
