So What If.....

[GH2001]

Why is it always about race with you?

One really good thing about Crystalball is he'd definitely check the box on recruiting the south. 

Probably the #1 attainable option. Recruits like a MFer....not that it matters, but he's a Saban type old school discplinarian. Fundamentals...all that shit. Has a great pedigree - played at the U in the late 80's, has coached under good ones including Saban, he's an OL and OL Coach by trade so there is a big need addressed and his OL's at Oregon have been great - one of them will go top 5 overall in April. 

 I worry a little about his in game on the fly coaching after watching what he did in the opener last year. That team - for all practical purposes - beat Auburn. But somehow lost the game.

If no Stoops then give me Sarkisian and hope to retain Steele.

Like that Freeze connects with the entire team over Kiffen's one track mind. Both can put up points and should have a good handle on cheating by now.

Needs to be a regional guy familiar with the culture and a relentless recruiter.

Don't know about a Cristobal but I can get excited about a Cuban sandwich over Bill Clark. But maybe Clark is the best choice.
He's of high character and a winner.

Sarkisian, Freeze, Kiffin.... fuck me running. 

Why scrape the bottom of the barrel when you can lift the barrel up and paw at the ground underneath it?

JABA?

[CCTAU]

So. I keep hearing Bill Clark's name come up.
Is UAB considered on par with NApier's LA school? If so, shouldn't Clark be way ahead of Napier on everyone's radar?
What keeps Clark from being the top candidate? He is an in state guy. Recruits well. What he has done with UAB is unbelievable.

[Saniflush]

JABA?

Just Auburn Being Auburn

not sure who coined it but basically meaning we gonna fuck it up.

First of all, I thought you was dead. I’m happy to see that you are not.

Secondly, if I ever see or hear of you disparaging Bill Clark again, you and I  are going to have to take this outside. Or, we can rearrange the furniture in here. It don’t make a shit to me.

[Snaggletiger]

To Bill Clark 

[AUTiger1]

So I see Bo is on the selection committee.  That means it's going to be unpopular and Bo helps sugar coat it as we are forced to eat. JABA for sure.   Paying $21 million to hire/promote a 62 year DC who failed miserably at his only stint as HC is the most Auburn thing to ever Auburn.

I won't even hold his HC record against him since Baylor was basically a dumpster fire back then.  The fact that he hasn't been called or found a HC job since then tells me a lot.

You are correct, sir.  Do...not....want....Steele.

I like him but the motherfucker is old as the hills.

You are right about that part. Fuck!

All are flawed. Don't know anything about Napier or some of the outliers but Bill Clark has no baggage of which I am aware.
Probably a serial killer.

On the contrary I have high regard for Bill Clark sir. He just doesn't bounce the needle. Maybe it's because he isn't bustin' moves with the team or writing books about offensive football.
He could be the answer.
And no, I'm not dead yet.

FWIW, I think Rodney Garner makes more than Bill Clark. That said, it would be quite a leap to get Clark to Steele's salary.

He ain't no Brent Venables.
But then who is?

As I think u know, I’m half bullshitting about Clark but I, too, have high regard for him. I don’t think they will go after him but I’d be fine with giving him a shot.

All these coaching search experts will poo poo on any name but the hottest.  Pat Dye would never have a chance with them. Of course, I think he died. But you know where I’m going.

 I hope they offer Kevin because that’s the last name Snags wants, which means it’s probably the best choice that we could make.

[GH2001]

Any of the names listed are better options than Steele. ANY of them. But if it comes to Steele as HC being the go-to guy? You'll know the search went Knoxville style south quickly. 

[WiregrassTiger]

Now, I’m sure. Steele should 100% be the man.

Just gonna leave this here for your consideration.

This would be the first time we’d ever hired a former NASCAR driver, to my knowledge.
