Do you want the next coach at Auburn to have 1 good year and then burn the place to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to open the season they beat Utah State by a field goal and lost to Washington State and ASU. Y’all can spin it as many ways as you want. It doesn’t work. LSU lost to Florida State to start the season and got trounced by Tennessee 5 weeks later giving them a 4-2 record. Now they’re 7-2, 1st in the West and ranked 7th in the country. Sometimes a team gels and continues to improve as the season progresses. Edited November 8, 2022 by PigskinPat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Kiffin was wrongly let go JUST before they got it together as a team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that, just as it can’t be said with 100% certainty that the only reason they finished 6-2 was BECAUSE he was let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if the previous coach left the program in shambles. What would you attribute what Bowden did his last four seasons at FSU (7.5 win average), which Jimbo completely resurrected (10.4 win average)? Can't have your double standards. Gotta pick one.

Jimbo took a program that had made a bowl for 36 straight years and by the time he left he’d gutted them to the point that they STILL haven’t recovered.

You been asleep the last couple years? Lincoln Riley left OKLAHOMA. Brian Kelly left USC. Jimbo Fisher left FLORIDA STATE. All for traditionally lateral or lesser programs in much worse shape than the ones they left. Auburn is traditionally a much better job than Clemson. And we’re in the SEC. Is it likely Dabo would come to Auburn? No. Is it possible? In this era of college football, absolutely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 811 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 The only SEC school Dabo has interest in right now is the one in Tuscaloosa. If UAT snubs him when Nickie retires, Dabo might have some interest in Auburn or another SEC program or two. But that's down the road, unless wheels come off at Clemson.

There is only one team Dabo would leave Clemson to go and coach. Don’t believe anything anyone says, it’s all hogwash. I don’t care about traditional this or that, Clemson is a better program right now and it’s really not close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he never sank a program on the field. Paying players is legal now so I don’t think that’ll be an issue at Auburn. But you would take Freeze over Kiffin? You would rather have a known cheater who caused a university to loose scholarships and go on probation, who still actively is doing shady 💩 over a coach that has successfully revived the program at 2 different universities? Back to back 10 win seasons( projected this year) at freaking ole miss? Didn’t even happen when Eli Manning was there! Did Freeze accomplish that feat nope. Instead he was stripped of wins for? Paying players and helping players pass exams to get into college. Let’s not mention the prostitues for 17-18 year old kids… But you don’t want Kiffin because he failed at USC and tweets?

I believe Feeze us better choice than Kiffin also mostly due to costs. Have you tead his existing contract? He will easily make @8m this year due to incentives. He will command at least 10/ year and then incentives on top I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze will be the cheaper choice but I just cannot get over his past, and I don’t believe there are many of the ones doing the hiring can either. There are just too many coaches out here that doesn’t have that type of baggage. It’s not like he had a BBQ and then panicked and lied to the NCAA or something 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair and a bit more accurate in regards to Freeze, that system at Ole Miss was set up by Nutt and they had been operating that way before Freeze got there. It worked better under Freeze cause players actually did want to play for him so he caught some bigger fish. But let’s not act like what they were doing there wasn’t being done at every single SEC school. Freeze just stepped on Bama and UGA’s toes with it which is what got him caught. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably comes down to how long before he is considered a prudent risk. I still don’t believe it will be Kiffin due to excessive salary requirements, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 2 programs did Kiffin revive? And also - you’ve got some stuff seriously mixed up. The escort service was for HIM, not kids he was recruiting. That doesn’t exactly make it “better”. But it’s a whole different moral implication. It’s not Louisville basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
