Your new OC is the current Texas OC

It could be all the crack that I've been smokin since Saturday evening, but doesn't Texas run a version of  the spread?

I just googled "Greg Davis Texas" and the first item to click on is a petition to remove him from his position. http://www.petitiononline.com/fireGD/petition.html

Every coach in this digital age has some faction of the fan base that wants him fired.

Actually, there is a large faction of the TX fan base that wants him fired - even when TX wins, you can hear the goobers on Sports Radio bashing him.  I have already been heckled by two Moo Cows this morning saying "Take him!  Please!!"  So yeah, another reject coach that no one wants... that's just peachy keen.

Sounds to me like the Tea Sippers are a bunch of whiny little fucks.

Absolutely - no doubt, no question - they make me insane.  I am just saying that the national perception will again be that we may be taking another coach that has worn out his welcome at his current gig.  That offense at UT won a national championship - but all the flaws - especially in the back to back losses to A&M - were laid at Davis's feet.

I'll take him right now.

Greg Davis or Neil Callaway or Patrick Nix?

Welcome to the Plains Mr. Davis.

I think your perception is tainted by proximity.

All you hear nationally is about Colt Fucking McCoy and the TX offense.

Okay, here's the deal in my book.  I'm not going to even make some lame attempt to spin the talent level at Auburn as currently being on a championship plain.  I think CTT let that slip woefully over the last 2-3 years.  However, I stated many times when Franklin was hired that the 07' season could have very well seen us playing for a MNC if we had ANY offense at all instead of the 109th ranked unit.  3 of the 4 losses in 07' were literally last second screw ups to USF, MSU and LSU.  Had Auburn been even 1 TD better a game, the possibilities were endless.  Look who played for and won the brass ring that year.  2 loss LSU.

I just want someone proven to come in and inject some life in this team and our crappy ass offense.  Averaging 20th in the country over 8 years ain't too freakin' shabby.

I realize that - but shouldn't the opinion of the local fanbase - the a-holes that eat sleep and breathe this stuff, including the local sports radio hosts - count a bit more than the drive by opinions of those who follow whoever is hot right now?  That negative opinion is probably why Davis was not given the head coach in waiting position after ELEVEN YEARS with Mack Brown - surely that counts for something.  And if he leaves TX for AU, then that situation will probably be mentioned by the media as part of the reason - along with WTH would he want to go to AUBURN??????

At this point, considering what we have (no one) and what the possibilities are (Nix, et. al.) I have no problem with Davis.  I am just giving the opinions I hear from the insiders out here.  Just had another one tell me that they would be glad to give us Davis since we coughed up Muschamp - they still get the better deal...

[Snaggletiger]

Excellent points on the outsider's tainted view.  Too often, we get our collective thongs in a tight little bunch when anyone outside this State would dare question a decision or any issue with Auburn.  The world sees CTT as one of the great coaches in the game today.  Possibly.  Closer inspection shows a program on the decline, with little talent and little fire and constant turnover and disarray on the staff.

We pass over Turner Gill and it's just the typical, good ole' boy, racist network doing business as usual.  Bone headed hire, for sure.  But let's not discuss the interviews with Gary Patterson, Rodney Garner, possibly Will Muschamp, Pat Nix etc.  It must be racist from the outside looking in. 

I would at least take some notice and try to dig a little deeper into why UT fans dislike a guy who on paper, appears to be a damn good OC.
