Feeding Frenzy. Coaches know this is a top level gig when done right. This is stated in every single Auburn coaching search yet never comes to fruition so I’m not inclined to believe Tate. There is always that “secret top level candidate that reached out” chatter and I think its just some of these guys trying to get subscribers. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did last year ding him that much? What am I missing? In my case, what you are missing is that I don't want some smart-mouthed bammer for AU's head coach. There are other options that don't have Dabo's baggage. Others may have more mature, thoughtful reasons for not wanting Dabo but this is my reason. His success at Clemson in no way means that he will succeed at Auburn. It's a crap-shoot, so lets do a reasonable job of hiring and not start off with some known jerk that a lot of AU people don't like. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman1 509 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Dabo is not leaving Clemson. Period. Not for bama either, but especially not for Auburn. He is as content and happy with his circumstances and the family life he enjoys. He' s making more $$ than he or his family can ever spend too. He remembers his time at bama as a walk-on, having to sleep in the same bed as his mother because they were dead broke. He can make the college playoffs much, much easier there with almost no pressure. Whoever started posting his name is way off the mark. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Dabo fan, but I think he's well versed in the bammer way and will fight fire with fire, smile while he's doing it and WIN. Besides, Clempsum owes us a coach or two, since we let them have our old uniforms when Heisman left to coach them.

He pretty much has to go undefeated . Right now he has 1 loss to ND and is behind 2 loss Bama and LSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnatl1 6,223 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I’m an idiot and just trying to understand the rules.

The impression I’m getting from various reports across the Auburn landscape is that Auburn was set on Kiffin, but then 1-2 other coaches not being considered came forward quietly. In a kind of Kelly-LSU way. We’ll see, but that would give AU some leverage anyway. 52 minutes ago, Win4AU said: Jay Tate mentioned that some coaches have come out of the woodwork recently and that has slowed the process down. Feeding Frenzy. Coaches know this is a top level gig when done right. I don’t buy this slowing the process down. If Cohen wants Kiffin, it’s a matter of Sexton making the $ work for both sides. Kiffin can’t jump ship until 11/27 at the earliest, so plenty of time to gauge interest from other parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely would leave Clemson for Alabama. In a hot second. Dabo covets the Bama job. My brother’s best friend played with Dabo at Bama and Dabo actually lived with him on and off. He says the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Johnny Mac 1,474 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Maybe the “coaches coming out of the woodwork” is meant to take the heat off of Kiffin until the end of the season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is funny because bama fans on twitter swear up and down that Kiffins deepest desire is to coach bama post Saban while ole miss fans swear his greatest desire is to be a nfl coach again like these people are best friends w him and know exactly what he aspires to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what anyone else’s negative thoughts about him, but I personally dislike his fake preacher-esque personality (sells well to college football entities, as evidenced) and his incestuous fascination with staying in house with hires. He’s ran out of good 2016 Clemson coaches. It’s time to shake it up Between that and his antiquated perspectives on transfer guys and NIL, there’s no real shot his success maintains in the direction CFB is headed unless his perspective changes 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
