cole256 17,085 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 My estimation is Sanders has shown more as far as caring about the players than any of the other coaches. Unfortunately, that and things geared towards the actual player aren't really major variables in consideration. How any what you do for EVERYBODY else is what pleases people. What can you do for the institution. Also no matter how much money he makes those other people he'll never get credit for it. He won't be celebrated. Nothing was a better tell than him even being mentioned to coach here made so many so angry. You've seen people post made up untrue stuff but many of those same people would know about what he actually does. Because what he actually does doesn't fit the made up narrative that many would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a D. Brown titled thread I think that just said something like "just drafted by the Panthers, Congratulations!" One of the first replies was, drafted by the panthers huh, so not an auburn tiger.

But he was simultaneously the most voted for coach in that poll we had, and also the most complained about at the same time. 🤷♂️ def interested to see how it goes in colorado, I was intrigued about the idea of him being AUs coach, would have been pissed if he went to another SEC school. But colorado? Just interested to see what he can do there. Like Mikey I don't see him at colorado long after his kids are done, I don't think he'll quit coaching or anything, but I think once his kids aren't part of the equation on what jobs he looks at that he'll take something else (something bigger). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnatl1 6,173 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The UGA game tonight reinforced it’s about top 5 recruiting (not top 10 - just look at the natty stats) and attracting a top staff. No other coach in this cycle was better equipped to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,303 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The fact is no one here, no one, knows if Deon will be successful or not. It could go either way. Colorado took a risk, just like Auburn did with Freeze, and it will either pay off or flame out. Just let the season play out before we deem Deon a success or not.

I understand what he was doing at Jackson with what he was saying. It’s similar to LaVar Ball and what he was doing. He didn’t care what kind of publicity it was, as long as it got eyes to his cause. I do think it’s odd though he won’t give boosters the time of day. Time will tell if that strategy will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it’s odd though he won’t give boosters the time of day. Time will tell if that strategy will work out. I think you may have an open mind but I doubt if you really understand. Like with lavar ball, I remember back in the day we had a debate about him, the thing is the only reason some say it's bad publicity is because it's not what mainstream media is used to so they deem it bad. As far as Sanders EVERYBODY on this board would keep saying the stuff about building up HBCU's.....over and over and he literally never said that. He didn't have a cause. I would post over and over how he never said that. Of course I'm ignored, he does his interview and says he never said that and then everybody is shocked and confused....that's the story mainstream made up that didn't give a damn about a HBCU, didn't know anything about them so that's what they told themselves. Everything in the media isn't true, and everybody that puts stuff out doesn't have the best intentions. As far as boosters he's going to try to do things his way. He's not giving anybody else control of his team and he's not going to be anybody's puppet. These are things that this school was calling for. We hired the wrong guy and now this school is too scared to do anything to actually move a barometer. I think freeze was about as good as we were going to do though. It's not all about recruiting but Auburn is in a very unique situation and Auburn will never be scary without a big footprint in Georgia and nobody but Deion was going to be able to challenge that with uga literally in the midst of building a dynasty imo. But we'll see I hope for the best. But I won't be trashing freeze just because I wanted Sanders. It's stupid and ridiculous for people to keep trashing Sanders because people wanted him to be the coach here. But unfortunately I'm not surprised.

But we'll see I hope for the best. AU put itself in a position to contend for it all 3 times in the last 13 years: 2010, 2013, and 2017. (4 in the last 20 if you count 2004) The recipe was Top 10 recruiting plus a difference maker at QB. I believe CHF can and will get us back there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn doesn’t need top 5. That would be lovely but top 10 with elite guys in the right spots. I would say 2019 was an opportunity. The defense was there but didn’t have the seasoned qb or competent play calling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,085 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I don't see why 2017 was included in that. But I feel you guys are missing the real point. First a couple of random years are really outliers not proof. Second even if we took that as proof, it's proving we could be good ever so often with top 10 so to be consistent probably means top 5. Third none of those years included the playoffs but let's say that doesn't matter what's the likelihood of hitting on a guy like cam? Who we actually didn't even hit on really? Once again this is more of an outlier than proof something can definitely work. Lastly those years mentioned happened when we still were recruiting super strong out of Georgia, now we don't have the same hold as we once did while another one of our rivals became much stronger.....and we still needed a miracle against both teams I mentioned those outliers years that's been mentioned. Let's not forget these dynasties of our rivals were also built while preparing our recipe and I'm not even mentioning Clemson....we missed on two transcendent QB's that literally didn't want to go to Alabama out of Georgia. I won't pretend to know the future but I know we won't be good without gaining a bunch of territory out of Georgia again. I'm strictly speaking on being exceptional. We needed to take a risk to do that. We can be above average doing a top 15 recruiting thing and beat bammer every 3 years or whatever. But to be viable literally in between two dynasties we need to recruit like we've never had AND disrupt their recruiting. I've seen freeze be good when he has equal or more talent.....just hope he can get that talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Campbell, Cam, and Stidham are NFL quality QBs and Nick was the one of the most elite athletes in the nation in 2013. Recruiting top 10 with those guys and we contend. Recruit top 10 with Jeremy Johnson/Sean White/JF3 we don’t. I want Top 5 recruiting classes as bad as any AU fan does. But we’ve proved the formula it takes for us to contend in my opinion. This staff has to bring a pipeline of elite QBs. Edited January 13, 2023 by Gowebb11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceptional = perfect, as there is undefeated and there is everybody else. In the last 40 years there have been 4 programs with as many as 3 undefeated seasons: Alabama, Miami, Nebraska and...Auburn. If that makes us an outlier, so be it, at least we've been as consistent as anybody in that realm. Bowden, Tuberville and Chizik were pretty milquetoast versus "risky" as coaches...and they all got fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
