He said for sure that Auburn is going after Lane Kiffin and it's our main guy. He also thinks if Lane is interested, we will get him. He said that he has heard that we're pretty deep into talks with Lane and Jimmy Sexton. He also said that Lane could also decide at the last minute to stay at Ole Miss and if that happens then our Plan B. is Hugh Freeze and Plan C. is Dan Lanning. He mentioned only those 3 coaches and Deion was NEVER brought up the entire segment. Finebaum did ask Ronnie if there's a chance we name Cadillac our fulltime HC and he said no. He said this hire is way too big for a guy with a total of only 3 years coaching experience. Something Ronnie said is that for the first time in decades, Auburn is finally aligned and all pulling in the same direction. New president Roberts, a new AD in Cohen, a brand new football only facility and a big NIL fund that started today. He said Cohen always hired outside the box at Miss. State because he hired Ben Howland in basketball and he had been at UCLA. He hired Joe Moorehead from Penn State after Dan Mullen left. Then he fired him and hired Mike Leach. So John Cohen atleast thinks outside the box when he hires coaches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkchevious 87 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 So nobody knows anything except ADC and whichever coach he wants? I took the bait early this morning, should’ve known better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is to stop him from leaving us in 2 years? A contract like Jimbo? If Kiffin came to Auburn, and successfully built a consistent playoff program, why would he leave? In that case, Auburn would certainly be compensating him well, and would competitively counter any offers made. He would have stability and job security. Coaches generally do not leave Auburn for greener pastures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the bait early this morning, should’ve known Chizik, Harsin and AD John Cohen's names were never mentioned by anyone leading up to their hires. It's the same at all schools. The podcasters and journalists have to create content everyday to make money. That's why we always get these lists of names and "sources are saying" this guy will be hired. Nobody truly knows except the people that need to know. For an example, go back to the December 2020 coaching search threads and read some of that stuff. We all believed Mario Cristobal was taking the job, then Kiffin, then Freeze, then Napier. We believed all of that because that was what everybody was reporting. But when the Harsin news broke, nobody believed it and said it was BS. It wound up to be true. Nobody on here really ever heard of him.

He was already named coach at FAU when Saban told him he couldn't coach the National Championship game against Clemson in 2016. Sarkisian called plays for that game and Bama lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the raiders firing was over a personality clash with Al Davis. Lane has earned some of his rep -his usc failure was a head scratcher and his short stint at tenn was a bad look. But ever since, his uat, fau, and ole miss roles we’re/are successful and appropriately handled. Edited November 15, 2022 by auburnatl1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even through that, he posted a 10-3 record in year 2 and then his last season he has USC ranked #1 in the AP Poll to start the year. They gave up 70 points at Arizona State so the AD fired him at the airport when they arrived in Los Angeles. He did a damn good job considering how bad they were hit with penalties from the NCAA. We could do ALOT worse than Lane Kiffin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnatl1 6,223 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I’ve been a prime guy and have teased kiffin for his colorful past. But one advantage of his nomadic history is the areas he’s recruited in. Tenn, USC, bama, fau, and ole miss is formidable knowledge of some of the most fertile recruiting bases in the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,956 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 One point if it is Lane: I bet not one current AU player, or one recruit will be concerned about his previous job history and what jobs he’s left or been fired from. That’s for us to contemplate and debate. I bet every one of them will be excited to play for him and will consider it a big time hire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would bring immediate buzz and excitement. I'm amazed so many are suggesting Freeze is that high on the board. I can't see how that isn't just Gus 2.0. I don't see much buzz coming from that, any attention outside of Auburn will be negative and the memes write themselves. I knew the guy was on the list, but I figured he was at best an emergency last second pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
