We could have had him, but much like the arguments for Kiffin now, everyone wanted Gus b/c they believed he was some kind of offensive genius b/c of what Cam Newton did in 2010. I'm not saying that Kiffin is a terrible coach .. I'm saying he's not an elite coach. He'll win a lot of games, and rack up a lot of yards. He won't build a powerhouse at Auburn. I want the powerhouse. So how is Dan Lanning an elite coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a proven Juggernaut based on your standards? Nope. Lanning isn't a PAC 12 coach .. he's an SEC coach who took a job in the PAC 12! His pedigree and experience are SEC under Saban & Smart. I never NEVER said it's a juggernaut .. not yet. But he's a guy who can, and I think WILL, build a juggernaut! I have no such thought nor evidence for Kiffin as a coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you cannot compare the two which is the point of the discussion you entered. You are stuck on the word Genius, and I am trying to show why that is not a fair comparison, which was insinuated. oh bullcrap. you told the kid gus was not considered a genius and he was. this cannot be refuted. it circulated in the media for a while. i have not said gus is a better coach period. i am pretty sure lane is better. but this is a discussion board and i am allowed to give my viewpoint just like you.

Quietmaninthecorner 2,033 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 13 minutes ago, lovemytigerz said: I'm not asserting that he wouldn't win at all. Quite the opposite. He would win a lot of games at Auburn, but he's not an elite coach who will build Auburn into a powerhouse. The standard is not to take a team that is at rock bottom and just bounce off the bottom. The standard is juggernaut .. not just being better than rock bottom or even winning a lot of games, but fielding a team that is a legit championship contender every season! Kiffin hasn't done that anywhere. It is not so easy just going out and getting the perfect coach. We are not the only team striving for championships. We are not the only school with money. We are not the only school with history and school spirit. Kiffen has turned bad teams around. At Auburn he has everything he needs to turn us around and build a championship team. He has the coaching intelligence. If you can not see the improvements he made at all his other stops I am not sure I can help you. BTW, How does complaining about him before he even is announced help Auburn in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the SEC creds and training to prove that out in time. He coached under Kirby at both Bama and GA, and has a great rep as a recruiter. He's building a top 10 class in Oregon, and snagging great kids out of the south! We've seen a few great defensive coaches fail at HC b/c they couldn't move from DCo to CEO .. Chizik, Muschamp several times, Barry Odom. Only time will bear his eliteness out, but Lanning has all the tools and the football mind to build the juggernaut, and he is settling into his CEO role quite well.

TeamZero77 1,965 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 1 hour ago, DAG said: Lanning, who I respect, has exactly one year of coaching. You have no idea how he is going to turn out. Exactly. Remember when Mark Helfrich took over the Oregon job when Chip went to the Philadelphia Eagles? In his first year as a HC, Helfrich got to the playoffs and beat Florida State 59-20 in the 1st round. FSU was on a 29 game winning streak. Mariota also won the Heisman that year under Helfrich. They got beat by Ohio State in the National Title game. Helfrich got considerably worse each season and was finally fired after 4 seasons and replaced by Willie Taggart. Helfrich was a "Can't Miss" new coach but now he is an analyst calling games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there’s no one available with a better chance to make that happen than LK. Can he do it? We’re going to find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
