I've evolved on the Barbee debate. It's time for him to go. We will have premiere football & baseball programs. We may never have a premiere basketball program, but Barbee has proven he can't even keep us in mediocrity.

Serious question: Does anyone follow basketball enough to know of an up and coming coach that could possibly garner Auburn's attention?

I follow it but I'm more along the lines of finding someone willing to take it that has been there and done that. Don't know if it's possible to make a "splash hire" at AU given our history. But geez Louise, I just want to be competitive and make the dance every now and then.

How about Cliff Ellis?

I'd make runs at Shaka Smart and Mark Few. If they refuse, take a look at Joe Dooley.

We had the chance to get tubby this past offseason. Texas tech snagged him. He could have dug us out of this hole were in. Even if only for 3-5 years.

Barbee just needs more time and some better facilities. I have a feeling that within a few years, we will be dancing again.

Again? What did he do with them the first time?

Did we really, though?

I can't imagine a coach of that caliber wanting to coach at our cesspool unless there was some personal connection or something.

I may be open to Barbee getting axed after this year.

Provided anyone can tell me who we can get that's better on paper.

He was as good a day one hire as we've ever gotten at Auburn. Can't make it work.

Ron Chizik? Hell we are still paying him, might as well make his ass useful.

I think he is off stratagerizing with Ron Mexico!

We get Clemson on Thursday, Boston College on Sunday with a week break before playing Arkansas-Pine Bluff, then another four day break before playing Florida A&M. After that we get to start conference play. Whoooooooooo Hooooooooooo! 20 bitches!

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #54 on:** December 19, 2013, 07:42:34 PM »

Maybe we can get this guy before next season...

We beat Clemson tonight 66-64.

Were 8 of Clemson's players out with food poisoning? Did their alarm clock not go off and they missed the game? Were 5 starters arrested for Clemson just prior to the game?

Auburn makes it 2 in a row over the ACC with a 77-67 win over Boston College.

Where is the Final Four being played this year?

I already made the call on Pasadena....I see no such mojo for the Claus Barbee boys.

Maybe all it took to motivate Barbee was me finally jumping off his bandwagon.

So far, a pretty incredible turnaround since that post.

IF we keep winning (and history does not show that we will) and have a relatively successful SEC run, then he might have saved his job.

I personally hope he can. I like him and don't think we can do better, as sad that is.
