If the jolly fat bastard (the good one - not that greasy chode with the meat sweats out in Fayetteville) were real, who would you want him to leave under the tree to replace the crayon eating moron we have at the moment?
Answering "Gruden, Petrino, Kiffin, or Miles" will result in a Legatron 54 yard field goal kick square your gooch.
Show your work.

Bert Bulemia.

I think that’s the problem. Anyone we replace him with, are they really a step up?
I’m done with coaches with less than 2 or 3 years experience as a head coach.
So... and this is in no way in order:
Jeff Brohm from Purdue
Kyle Wittingham from Utah
PJ Fleck from Minnesota
Derek Mason from Vandy
Willie Taggart from Oregon
None of those really thrill me, and I don’t know if they are a step up or not, but I think if we went after any of those guys, we’d have a realistic chance of getting.
-
I like Wittingham and Fleck.
-
Chip Kelly, Bob Stoops, or Petrino. I’m ready for the field goal to my guch now.
Seriously though, with the football factory Smart is building at UGA and Saban looking like he’ll never leave, we have to swing for the fences. We need a winner or we will become Tennessee for the next 10 years.
-
I think that’s the problem. Anyone we replace him with, are they really a step up?
Yes!!! Tons of guys would be a step up. What's the use in worrying about that when you look at what our current crayon muncher is doing with the shit load of talent we have right now? Or the last 3-4 years for that matter.
Hell, I'd elevate Rodney Garner to HC if he'd just let Lindsey do his thing.
The guy I would take a serious look at is Pat Fitzgerald. He's in his 12th year at the helm of Northwestern. He's 42 and has a winning record at the Vanderbilt of the Big 10. Runs a very innovative offense.
-
Just saw where Fitzgerald signed a 10 year extension. But his salary is only $2 mil so maybe the buyout isn't too steep. Oh well, so much for that thought. It might in fact be wise to look hard at a Stoops or Kelly who wouldn't have buyouts we'd have to eat along with the one we'd have to pay Coach Crayola.

That's some mighty fine corch spottin' Snags.
Fitzgerald is a good one.
I like Whittingham too.
Many other veteran coaches are dug in at a place and aren't likely to budge.
Dave Doerner is winning at NCState with pretty good talent. He's won everywhere he goes. Defensive guy I think.
Fleck is a strange one if you know his story. Almost cultlike in his ways but he's had success.
*Chip Kelly has an ncaa show cause if he returns to college ball.

You’re right. I think I’m looking at it through the “who will jacobs hire†and the answer is, of course, not one coach listed in this thread.
Jacobs short list would be Matt Canada, Jeremy Pruitt, Todd Granthan, or Kodi Burns.
-
Sissy bitches. You keep the coach you have now whether want or not.
Gustavo at AU to stay. Why, you say?
Because you girly bitch and no amount to shit in program.
Jay Jacobs never be seen in same room with any no accounts like complaining here.
You will keep Gus long time. And like.

God help us. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........
And that’s the dilemma. We either get Gus an extra year and hope we have a new AD by this time next season, or we have Jay make another hire and repeat the next 4 years of frustration.
-
Jarhead is starting up a campaign to hire Kodi Burns as the next HC at Auburn.
I say no! Let him go get a year at Arkansas state and then, yes. But, not until.

Fleck
I would say Franklin, but after the way he left Vandy and the whole rape thing up there a few years back,nope. I think he is a helluva good coach, but don't want that associated with our program.

At the moment they a better job. Historically a powerhouse up there with tosu and mich.

Bob Stoops maybe?
-
We need someone capable of pulling off the whole sweater vest thing.
-
Franklin has 40 point lead and calls time out to ice the opposing kicker.
-
Bob Stoops maybe?
I don’t think any established coach would walk into the shit show that is the Auburn Athletic Department. We are going to have to overpay for an unqualified third or fourth tier candidate.
-
Just want an established guy that does all of the required shit, doesn't embarrass us, recruits well and allows his coordinators to do their job. Nobody out there would be a splash hire from active coaching possibilities that are available.

I believe I already started this after the Mercer debacle.
I love Kyle Wittingham but he is mormon, no disrespect against the religion but he isn't leaving Utah.
Problem with Brohm and Fleck is they only have a few years HC experience.
Taggert just started at Oregon.
You have hot shot names like PJ Fleck, Chad Morris, Brent Venables
Fleck and Morris have HC experience but IMO are still wet behind the ears in that department. Venables has no HC experience. None of these are any more experienced than Gus was IMO.
You have the experienced guys that will be everyone's new coach next year in Chip Kelly, Bob Stoops, Les Miles....Jon Gruden
Kelly to me would be ok. I have concerns about the type of offense he runs. I do think he is a my way or the highway (Saban type) coach. He has the experience built Oregon from nothing.
Unlike Snags I think Stoops is done coaching, I suppose I could be wrong. This is a whole lot of meh either way to me, He could never win the big game.
Les Miles, while I think he is a great head coach and certainly light years above what we have, there are still concerns of offensive development.
I was kidding on Gruden.
Honest truth I think the only one we might have a shot at would be Miles and I don't think he would be good for our long term future.
Guys that I would have on my short list to contact... Justin Fuente, Bryan Harsin, Chris Creighton or perhaps an NFL Coordinator like a Josh McDaniels ( I have no idea if he would be interested in being a HC in College.)
- Fuente is HC at Virgina Tech, he is 41 years old and has been a HC for 6 years (HCR:39-27), currently making 3.5 at VT. The challenge here would be would leaving the ACC for the SEC be more tempting. Is Auburn a better job? Realistically, probably not when you consider what he has to do to win in the ACC vs the SEC West. Plus VT is a lot easier on their coaches than Auburn would be. Money does talk though and obviously recruiting and facilities are better. Tough call.
- Harsin is HC at Boise State, he is 40 years old and has been HC for 5 years (HCR:40-15), currently making 1.6 at Boise. Is Auburn a better job? Solid yes here. However, Harsin is a BSU Alum born and raised in Boise. Would he want to see a new challenge? He has an outstanding record at Boise, and has coached under Chris Peterson and Mack Brown. Solid Pedigree here.
- Chris Creighton is HC at E. Michigan, he is 48 years old and has been a HC for 21 years (HCR:151-73), currently making 525k at E. Michigan. He's a bit of a dark horse here. Obviously, has the most coaching experience out of the other three guys. However, most of the coaching was at very small schools. Drake, Wabash, Ottawa. Is Auburn the better job? Most Assuredly YES! He has consistently won at every stop. Including currently turning around a directional school going 2-10, 1-11 to 7-6 and 2-0 for the start of this year. It's not a spicy name but an intriguing one.
- Insert NFL Coordinator: Personally, I like Josh McDaniels, he works under arguably the GOAT HC in the NFL Belichick. He has 2 years of NFL HC experience going 11-17 with the Denver Broncos. He was originally hired by Belichick (in 2001) worked as OC and QB coach from 2006-2008 left for the HC job at Denver and was brought back as OC and QB coach under Belichick in 2012. I have no idea how much he makes. Is Auburn the better job? Again no idea here, I don't even know if he would want to coach in college.
My #1 with a bullet would be Gary Patterson.
Head Coach TCU
Age: 57 years old
HC for 17 years
Salary: 4.8 Million
HCR:151-54
Supposedly rumored to have interviewed for the job before Malzahn. I don't care if he came in half nekkid with a frog on his head, how you could choose Malzahn over him is mind-boggling. Patterson has built recruited, re-recruited the TCU program into what it is. Out of the 17 years he has been there he has had 3 losing seasons. Is Auburn the better job? Unlike Justin Fuente at VT I have to think yes. Yes TCU has grown exponentially since being in the Big 12, but, they are still the dormat to Oklahoma and Texas as far as notability. With Auburn's resources I would think that Patterson would do an even better job for our program.
On this list my #1 would still be Gary Patterson, but I would make a strong push on Fuente and Harsin.
-

He's who I wanted in 08 and 12 along with a few others. His consistency and what he gets out of lesser players is pretty amazing.

The raping we are taking from our current coach is so much fun right now.
-
I'm with you guys. Patterson gets the most from his players in all phases and everybody has to hate going against him. Always liked him just didn't think we had a shot but how would we know with Jacobs pulling an end run in the interview process.
-
Whatever.
You will all get GUS for Christmas. And you will like it!
-
You have to ask what Patterson's motivation would be for leaving. And the question has nothing to do with the perception by some that big name coaches wouldn't want to come to this program. I think Auburn is a top 10 coaching destination no matter how you slice it.
But where Patterson is concerned, he's the winningest coach in TCU history. (155-54) I have no clue about the Horny Toad fanbases' mindset, but I imagine he has god-like status. In addition, he's making $4.75 million per year. He's top 5 right now and undefeated.
So, what's the incentive to come to Auburn? He's 57. One last challenge?

Always had my doubts about him leaving there being dug in and as you say 57 but maybe the challenge, the conference, the talent.
More money? He's worth it.
Don't care what the media thinks because many probably think Va Tech is a better job than Auburn.
Much the same could be said for Gundy ever leaving Ok. State.

Yeah, before this week I was firmly in the "The devil you don't know is worse than the devil you know" camp.
That loss broke me.
Him telling the media it "wasn't a big deal" that we blew a 20 point lead against a clearly inferior opponent with a clearly inferior coach for a chance to beat one of our three primary rivals at home for the first time since some of the players were born...broke me.
I need him gone. Rolling the dice is worth it to me at this point.

Yeeeeahh.....I'm gonna' have to take issue with part of your post.
-
Yeeeeahh.....I'm gonna' have to take issue with part of your post.
Well, yeah.
I meant a clearly terrible coach, but clearly Gus was outcoached by him.
He gets outcoached just about every game he's in. Second half performances are the clearest evidence of that.
-
Yeeeeahh.....I'm gonna' have to take issue with part of your post.
Coach O had Gus' number the whole time, never a doubt.
Yaw was just sandbagging and waiting to pounce at the precise moment.
-
Can't you people read? Clearly, it was the adjustments that LSU made that won the game for them. I mean...what else could Gus have done when they got so sophisticated as to walk up a safety to stop the Kerryoncat? Clearly this was a magical coaching job by Yaw Yaw.
-
Yeeeeahh.....I'm gonna' have to take issue with part of your post.
I'm not, Chad is right. Orgeron is an inferior coach. He barely speaks audible English. He makes Cadillac sound like a classically trained Shakespearean actor from Wales.
That being said, he outcoached the shit out of Gus.

Give me Patterson. My first choice then and now. And by a long shot.
Agree he has little reason to want the job. But I'd give him my best shot. He'd have Saban type control of AU.

Coach Yaw Yaw > Coach Crayolamuncher
A few statistical observations that show Malzahn's refusal to stay the hell out of the offense. At Arizona State last season, they threw to the backs 63 times in 12 games. Here, we've hit the backs 19 times in 7 games with several of those to back ups and coming after the game was in hand. Lindsey said openly he planned to get the backs way more involved in the passing game.
Ryan Davis is clearly our go-to receiver on short routes. He has 33 catches for 318 yards and 3 TD's. But his quickness has turned several of those into big gainers. He had a 75 yard TD against Cold Piss and then a 15 yard and 52 yard catch and run against LSU. He was never targeted again after the first quarter unless I missed it on that last desperation possession at the end.
Thanks Captain Offensive Guru

Edit:
Got carried away complimenting Jarhead's post. Noticed he said Chad was right.
Let me be clear that I don't agree with that part of his post. Chad isn't right about shit.
The rest is o.k.

This should make your face explode:
Auburn this year - 77% run on first down
UCONN this year - 62.6 %
Arizona State last year - 59.5%

higher ceiling. he has ZERO slack at TCU to fuck up. at a top sec school, you might can lose twice and still get in a playoff.

So, the reverse is, he can lose 2-4 games and miss the playoffs every year at TCU and still make $5 Million per without any fear of repercussions from media or fans? And still be revered as the best Coach evah!!!
57. 155 wins. Coach 8-9 more years. Finish with around 230 career wins. Maybe luck up on a championship or a Final 4 berth or two. Go to the College Football HOF. Again, why come to Auburn?
-
We could have had Patterson when Jay grease fucked us with Chizik.
We could have had Patterson when Jay oil fucked us with Malzahn.
He’s not going to give it a third try.
I don’t want Stoops. I damn sure don’t want Kelly. I don’t want Gruden
I want to no longer care.
-
After the Malzahn buyout, we'll have to remove ourselves from football season for two years just to afford the new AD's salary. Then we must forfeit all promotions including the Under Armour and BSPN deals. Only then can we begin to think about hiring a women's softball coach.

All depends on what he wants I guess. Just loves to coach and wants a safe job while winning and making bank? Then yeah he prob needs to stay put. If he yearns for more shots at titles - conf and playoffs. We may be a better option. I'd personally like to see what he could do with a roster full of blue chippers.

...what about Leach? Want him? I wouldn't mind that, atleast his pressers would be hilarious. He doesn't know the words "coach speak". Remember when he trashed his whole team, himself included, after a loss (himself included meaning when he said that it was his fault for putting players out there that apparently didn't know what they were doing)?
I just want a coach that doesn't have that "OH MY GOD, this play isn't going to work at all", "I don't know why I called that play again", or "I hope the 1 receiver is somewhat open and not triple covered like last time" look as he folds his arms looking more like Coach Kline than a confident coach.

What would thrill me is to have the word put out that Auburn has a plane landing in Montgomery.
This would have all of the media gathered about waiting intently for who steps out.
Waiting...waiting...
Tommy Tuberville, are you shitting me?
Then Tubs quickly gets shuttled away only to be named the new AD instead of the head coach.
From there we likely get a real search for the right head coach.
I wouldn't mind if he pulled a Barry Alvarez and took to the sidelines until it was finalized.

Tubs has great connections and always seemed to find great D Coordinators. I assume it would be the same if he was looking for a head coach.

I 100% agree. I wish whoever were in charge would pull the trigger on this NOW. We need an AD in place to hire a coach. Not an AD who's on his way out or an interim. We need a real replacement before we can think of hiring a new coach.
Tuberville. Today. Make it happen, Leath.

Yeah, I'm sure Leath will get right on that. After, of course, he consults with Lightfoot..
He knows better than to actually make a decision before consulting counsel. He's got a lifetime job at stake here. Forget what's best for AU. What's the safest?

Can we please put the Tubs for AD talk to rest? How does anyone think he would make a great AD?

Been wondering that myself. The only time the man went into business, and there is a huge business aspect to the AD job, he got sued for fraud within a year and had to settle with investors.

Settling for fraud is better than having an employee arrested by the FBI.

Wasn't Tubs the victim of a Bob Davie scheme, not the actual con man.

Exhibit A: A moldy cat turd is better than Jacobs.
Exhibit 2: Tuberville pisses off Bama fans and LSU fans. They love Jay.
Exhibit d: Tuberville does not sound like Goober Pyle.
Exhibit XY: Tuberville is not a lesbian
Do you honestly think Jay is any kind of “business man� What does that hairgelled fuck know about business?
You want a clean house? Tubs knows where all the dirt is. He knows the players. He knows the game. He’s not beholden to any of Jacobs’ gang. He ran a clean program. Outside of Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge he has a decent reputation. He would be football centered.
Plus, after the way Jacobs did him he still let his son play at AU. I wouldn’t have.
He used to send me Christmas cards. I miss those.

Please DO NOT send that jet anywhere unless it is first to get the new AD. Unless it's to get Patterson. Then, go.
What are you waiting for?

If you hire an academic or a "business man" for your AD then you might be extremely disappointed in their selection of your new head coach.

I seriously doubt Patterson would consider Auburn. With Texas being down and no other real competition inside the state, some folks around here think he Saban like. He doesn't really have the SEC pressure nor does he have to compete with the likes of a bama. Most folks know they will never win a MNC. He is a big fish in a tiny pond around here and I don't seem him changing that.

What Kaos and Rottenbottom said should resonate. Tub's has made relationships over the years, knows the score at Auburn and what type of individual can handle the job. It's not a science but he made good solid hires throughout his tenure and had the foresight to make needed changes even when there was resistance.
I trust the future of Auburn athletics with Tubs.

Tcu will not have a chance at playoffs unless they go undefeated and win big 12 every year. Whereas tosu or bama can lose a game or two and not even play for a Conf title and still make it. They get no slack being a redheaded bitch to okla and tx. Like I said it's all about what he wants.

Here's from teh wiki's and the wiki's are on the interwebz so it must be true.
After he finished playing college football, Jacobs became the football coach at Lee-Scott Academy in Auburn in 1984. In 1985, he was brought back to Auburn athletics as the Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the football team. From 1986 to 1988 he was a graduate assistant football coach. He was named Conditioning Coach in 1988.
He moved into the Athletics Department office in 1991 when he became Assistant Athletics Director. In 1994, he was made Associate Athletics Director for Operations. In 2001, he was named Senior Associate Athletics Director where he was in charge of Tigers Unlimited. From 2005 to the present he has served as the Athletics Director.
I'm not defending Jacobs here. As fans, we pretty much have tunnel vision. Is the football team winning like we want it to? Are the other higher profile programs winning too? Well, to be fair, if the football team is winning, who gives a shit about anything else? Amirite?
But under Jacobs, the major programs, especially football, have been grossly underperforming and the problems and scandals continue to mount to a point that there really needs to be a change at the top. But I would submit two things:
That last wiki paragraph listing his resume for the 14 years prior to being named AD, makes him infinitely more qualified to handle the job than a football coach who's never done anything in business except get sued.
As for Jacobs as a "business man", I think having a new basketball arena built, a new indoor practice facility built, the $14 million megatron 3000 scoreboard (Which I hate), built, construction started on the new stadium facility and countless other things completed, along with showing a substantial profit every year, might mean the guy is not a total idiot in that department.

How many paragraphs of that are your own words, 2,3?

Impressed that AU has shown a profit in some lean times. Still, time to move on now.
I believe it was Chizzy who posted that we are 4-15 vs big 3. That's with prayer in Jordan-Hare, kick 6 and last second LSU win.
4-15. Bama, Georgia, LSU

I run the office where I work, payroll, A/P, A/R and such. Doesn't mean I know jack shit about hiring a warehouse manager.

Maybe, but maybe not.
Jacobs entire career has been at Auburn, and he had Dye, Mike Lude, and Housel as ADs.
Tubs worked at Ark State, Miami, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Auburn (with at least 2 ADs), Texas Tech, and Cincy.
Tubs would have had more opportunity to see how different ADs handle things.
Now, I'm not suggesting that we hire Tubs, but to write him off just because he's hasn't been an AD doesn't mean he hasn't picked up a few things from the ADs he's worked with in the past.
-
The rankings of top AD's are out there. A good many have recent and past flaws including some very well thought of players.
I give Jacobs credit for being an outstanding fund raiser, PERIOD!
Make an argument but don't slide something into wikis to score points.
I'm just saying what I think not trying to win favor or raise a fucking posse.
-
I'm not writing Tubs off by any means. Like AU1, I just don't get the pimping of the man for a job like that and many assuming he's automatically qualified because he corched a lot of football.
I'm with everyone who says JJ needs to go. No argument from me. But my reasons would be centered on the failed hires, the long history of underperforming by our major programs and the problems and scandals that have affected just about all of them. That's more than enough for a change.
However, I'll give credit where it's due and while I may not agree with the need for some of the facility/structure additions or changes, there have been some significant accomplishments under his watch. We are one of the more profitable athletic programs in the country and I'll put our overall facilities up against anybody's.

I will credit Jacobs on the upgrades.
Now let's focus on leadership and stability.
We all want the right AD. Football is key at Auburn.
Give us a football guy.

Football is that important at Auburn. A blanket statement about all the other programs not mattering doesn't fly with me. Might with others.
I don't pay much attention to the Director's Cup nor am I a man of leisure that can devote time to a number of different sports.

Patrick Fain Dye did ok at it with about the same qualifications. If you can run the fb program you can "probably" run the athletic dept.

Never has there been a 10 year period in our history where all 3 major sports we're that good. We're talking sonny smith, hal baird and of course dye. He did his job well. The NCAA stuff aside, he was a good AD. He knew what it took with bama and what was important. The things he did as AD and coach were monumental in bringing auburn up to par in general and between jay the lesbo, malzone and chiztard it's slowly eroded/eroding away.
My point? Someone of that background can run an athletic dept fine. Not without flaws but still very successful.
Someone who is good on paper like Jay? - and look at all the fuckups he's made.

It's a done deal! Patterson is our new coach!
Missed this earlier post, but who didn't. Anyhow, always a safe bet to go 180 from whatever he posts.
This is great news.

That is discriminatory. There are those on this here X that talk about taking photos of the guys in the showers. And you say NOTHING!
I do not appreciate your discrimination!
