It took a full year for Derek Mason to bail on AU football. Crime is trying to do it after only 6 games. We really, really, really need to get our crap together. 

Pride and ego seems to be the consistent factor here.

Yay Auburn!

Here am I thinking it's something serious like a family matter. What could possibly be so bad that you want to quit after 6 games?

Dang, if we could stop kicking our own butt then maybe we could kick somebody else's.

Were you aware of any rift going on in the coaching staff?  OR is this totally off base and his decision to step away is a family, health or other personal issue non-related to Roberts?

No instead of completely leaving he will be in an off field role is my understanding

So is this McGriff and Roberts rift 100% factual or is it being reported by a podcaster or a social media rumor? The reason I ask is because if McGriff was that pissed off at Roberts that he was going to quit after only 6 games but Hugh talked him into staying in an off the field role, wouldn't he still be working with the defense and that would mean working with Roberts in some capacity?

Something isn't adding up.

To much conjectture with not enough facts. If a Personal or Family issue I am pulling for McGriff and that it gets resolved. If it is a difference of opinion I will let our head coach dela with it which I am sure he will.

Could this issue with Crime Dog be part of the reason why Solomon and Lewis both decommited?? Wasn't he and Zac the main two coaches that recruited those 2?

Solomon had a foot out the door the moment he committed.  Don’t know about Lewis.

It’s in enough different places online since early this morning that I’d say it has legs.  Would hate to lose McGriff moving forward.

Yep, someone won’t be retained in the off season that’s for sure

I wonder if this could lead T Will back home. Has he done enough elsewhere to warrant the opportunity? Could be interesting
