DC Rumor

[Subterranean Jack]

James Willis may be the next DC at Auburn. Story was posted on Goldberg's blog but quickly withdrawn.

Finebaum was talking about this on his show earlier.  He had Bryan Matthews from Rivals on, and he said he didn't think it was going to happen, but he admitted that he didn't know for sure.  I'm not sure how I'd feel about this if it's true.  I admit that I don't like a coach that is learning on the job, but I think we could do worse.

I am surprised and I think Auburn could do much worse, but Willis is a pretty young coach and I gotta think Tuberville is thinking of co-defensive coordinators, one being Willis, the other ???? (preferrably someone who coaches DBs). I think Dunn has the line covered.

A good coat of semen will clear that up.

I would like for our new DC to at least be able to break half as many clipboards during games as Muschamp was able to.  That's my only criteria.

I've used that line before, but never on Brad.

What the hell is the problem?  It is taking this long to announce a DC, and it could be coming from within our staff?  Doesn't sound good to me.

Move along.  Nothing to see here.  TT is a defensive coach first.  We have RARELY been disappointed with the defensive side of the ball.  We will be fine with whomever we get.

Word.  For confirmation, check out StatTiger's defensive analysis under Tubs.  We could have Jojo the helper monkey as DC, assisted by Mike Shula and still post a top 10 D.

My inside source says you're a bunch of sunshine pumping bitches.  We want controversy, man.  Not. we will not only survive, we will thrive.

When Tuberville promotes from within, it is a debacle. Or at least that one time it was. 


I will not be pleased with a promotion of Willis.

Whatchou talkin' bout ?

[Buzz Killington]

Sooooo, if they do promote him, who do they hire to coach the DB's?

[War Eagle!!!]

I wold guess the '03 debacle of promoting Nall to OC from OL coach.

However, I would not be to disappointed with promoting Willis. I have no reason other than I liked him as a player though and he seems to be doing a fine job with the LB's.

I see what you are saying, but I think that they could keep the defense they have now and Tubs could help Willis make some in game decisions. Defense just does not seem as difficult to coach as offense. (from a complexity side).

The defense is already in tact. And I'm sure the current crop of coaches can coach it. So the only thing we will be lacking on is in game calling experience. Can we overcome that?

[ssgaufan]

If we promote from within, it will be a bad hire in that the media will have a field day about AU not being able to hire a big name coordinator.  The bamaham media is just waiting for the opportunity to make AU look bad to the public, and potential recruits.

I thought we agreed that it was "subtile".
