AURex 2,272 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) 1. He has hit the road on awesome fashion to rub-nub and howdy-there with bunches of Alabama high school coaches. This is AWESOMENESS way beyond Harsin and I am really impressed. 2. He is hiring his buds from Liberty and Ole Miss. I guess we'd expect that with a new coach, but personally I'd like to see some nationally great hires -- i.e. from NFL or great teams. This not only for expertise, but also from recruiting vantage. For example, Saban hires O'Brien Am I the only one who is concerned about another Malzahn-like good buddy staff ..... and worse .... Harsin-like good buddy staff. I'm hoping for some A+ surprise hires at the assistant/coordinator level. Edited December 5, 2022 by AURex 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if he hires his old high school buddies, as long as they can recruit and coach 'em up. Only time will tell. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly like any other coach we hire I really don't get a vote which is probably a good thing but I really don't care who he hires...Oh the horror. I mean this is his chance just like Gus, just like Harsin and he should hire who he wants and thinks will get the job done. What I want to see is better recruiting overall and competing for the best players which hopefully will translate to winning games, SEC championships and NC...so whoever he hires I want them to be a good fit and who HE wants...:) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Win4AU 4,203 Posted December 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2022 I like Freeze’s approach a lot more than what I saw from Neon Deion today. Can you imagine him coming into Auburn with that attitude? I get the message he was trying to get across but there is a whole lot better way to communicate that. I kind of hope he falls flat on his face. 10 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUINSY 2,299 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) At minimum, I’d wait to make judgments about the staff until they’re all offered and accept jobs; re: to the recruiting, at least until early signing day. I think we all still have a little PTSD from the past 3-4 years of Auburn football and need to take some metaphorical Xanax/chill pills Edited December 5, 2022 by AUINSY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 4,068 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) We’ve always said let the HC choose his own staff soooooo, let’s let the HC choose his staff lol. He’s on a time crunch so it’s only natural to go with his comfort zone and hire folks he knows and has worked with. Does anyone really expect him to fill out the staff with a bunch of dudes he doesn’t know? Edited December 5, 2022 by NoALtiger 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t wish him to fall flat on his face, but after listening to his comments, it’s obvious his attitude hasn’t changed much from pre-TJ Jakes and suicide attempt days, to his current days. He was obviously all about Prime, where Cadillac was all about Auburn! Maybe too early to tell for Freeze but it does appear he is all about Auburn as well!

I didn’t realize they were that bad. It will be interesting to see how the media, Colorado politicians, BLM followers etc. handle things like: no hats will be worn in this room. No earrings will be worn in this room, only certain shoes will be allowed in this room. Wanting them to live more for God, as Prime says: it is God that put me here. I don’t think too many coaches could ever get away with saying all of those things, it’ll be interesting to see if Prime can do it. If he can be successful with all that, good for him! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is funny how he pulls the God card out as much as he does when it is like.. Oh.. Idk -- more like the 5 million a year salary card but it is kind of nice to hear that talk in Boulder where mentions of Christ are usually met w scourn.

I knew Freeze would load up a few buddy buddies on the staff, doesnt bother me and I definitely dont expect a truly unique, independent oc either. Im looking at the wr, o line and lastly and yet to be filled dc spot -- the defensive coordinator needs to be done right (obviously).

Colorado has had two 1-win seasons since 1984. 2012 and 2022. What would you do? Encourage them all to stay? Prime will replace them with mostly 4-stars. He will have Colorado in the Top 20 in recruiting/portal by the next class. Highest they've been in the last 10 years is #35. Colorado is just a spring board for him to a much bigger P5 program within 3 years. He'll be a SEC HC within 5 years.

I’m totally familiar with the Boulder political scene etc. I don’t want to post something that belongs in the political thread; it’ll be interesting to see how they handle him! Besides the God card, (as you called it) can you imagine any other coach (modern day) on day one saying: no hats, no earrings, only certain shoes, etc. etc. etc. We need some culture change, who knows, maybe he’s the one.

I’m a little concerned about not having a OC and DC in place by now. It seems organizational that he would have that in place and then assemble the assistants instead of the other way around. Yes it’s great that he is hitting the trail. We will see if the fruit of his labor works out pretty soon. I’d say a top 25 recruiting class is reasonable to expect given who he is and who Auburn is at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroforwinger 463 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Doesn’t every new coach bring in people he’s worked with? Weird to compare his hires to Saban hiring O’Brien. Saban can hire anyone he wants. Freeze isn’t quite at GOAT status. Also, considering every offensive position coach is rumored to have been hired, I’d say it’s very likely he’s selected his OC.
