Evidently D-Line is priority and it appears that today talks have been going on between two candidates, Glenn Spencer of OSU, and Tracy Rocker at Ole Miss...
Could happen soon one way or the other. AL.com is reporting that we've made an offer to Rocker. We shall see!!
I wouldn't be dissappointed with either, but would love to see Rocker back in Auburn.
-
I would like to see Rocker back on campus myself. I would also like to see a list of his recruitment, but I don't think that I would be disappointed with either. I know that Spencer worked with Roof at GT and that Roof had pretty good run D's at GT and stopping the run starts with the play of the D line, so I wouldn't be bother by either.

Come on home Coach Tracy "Supa Freak" Rocker.

I'm hearing that, if he decides to come back home, that he'll be getting a Real, Real Nice Raise.

The Rock can coach, he will put out some kick ass D lineman! He is a supa freak!

thanks for the great news! Supa Freak!

Obviously I loved Tracy as an Auburn man and player, but I am not sold on his coaching. He hung with Nutt for an extended period of time so that is a check against him in my book.
Convince me that he is going to be the beast of a defensive lineman coach that I want him to be.

This was the most "Rock Star" hire of DL coaches that I am aware of. Admittedly, this is mainly because I am not aware of many DL coaches.
From reports I had seen, though, they were acting like it would be tough to get him and saying it wasn't likely that Chizik could, but if he did it would be huge.

Who is "they"? Like I said before I could be convinced to like this hire but I just don't know enough about his coaching. The folks at Arkansas all seemed to like his coaching though I have heard he was not the world's greatest recruiter.

Fox6 is specifically where I saw this.

If you want confirmation of how good a hire is, just go over to the opposing team's boards and see what they're saying....I've heard that there's been a meltdown, on the Ole Miss' boards, over losing Coach Rock, and he was just a position coach. That lets you know how good of a coach he was, it would be similar to Auburn losing Coach Gran, when he coached here. Or, losing Coach Willis, actually Coach Willis is a perfect example. Remember how everyone, that knows how good of a coach he was, was up in arms when he wasn't retained at the beginning?
Coach Rock, as has been mentioned before by Jumbo and myself, will have the Defensive Linemen willingly run through a concrete wall for him.
Also, this year, Ole Miss was #4 in the country against the run...behind TCU, uat, and Texas.

It's official. It's being reported by Scout and Rivals. It says he'll be pulling in roughly $400k/year, too.

Ok we laughed at the bama nation when they gave Saint Nick 4 big ones but have we done anything less with our assistants?
I am all for somebody getting what they can but c'mon it's fucking football.

Bama may have to take some of the money they currently give to recruits just to be able to hire assistants

Also, think about Rocker being a recruiter. He brings a recruit into the stadium, walks around and says, you can do great things here, and then points to his mug up on the scoreboard. CTR then sheds a little tear. The recruit signs a letter of intent on the field.

OR....they bring the Offensive Line recruits out onto the field, then someone yells, "CHOO CHOO Mutha Fucka!!!!!!!!", that's when they see a 345lb guy coming at them wearing #74, in Full Gear. Whichever linemen still standing after "The Rock" gets through swimming, clubbing, and ripping....that's the one Auburn will go after.

Maybe this is to try to keep them here. Not a lot of schools will pony up that kind of money to hire away position coaches.

Fuck to your mother...
I'm glad to have him back at Auburn. I don't know what kind of coach he is, except that he's a big one (physically) but he's the Bo Jackson of defense at Auburn. And that's good enough.
The Chizik hire, though? Dead skunk bad.

Without the Chizik hire there would be no Rocker hire.
Which came first, the chicken, the egg, or the tree falling in the woods with no one around to hear it...or something...

And this definitively proves that no other coach -- including, but limited to Tuberville -- would have hired him?
Your argument is illogical, Captain. Live long and prosper.

Was there talk about Tubs getting rid of Don Dunn that I missed somewhere?
-
Seems Tubs had his chance to hire Rocker and it was never even a thought in his genious little mind. I would be willing to bet that had Tubs been reinstated that Dunn would have been his choice over Rocker.

Betting is called speculating. Just saying.
A million things could have happened. Any of the nine coaches interviewed might have hired Rocker. Dunn could have been disfigured in a bizarre dry-cleaning accident and gotten such a large settlement that he bought Colonial Bank, became the University president, fired Jay Jacobs and hired Bill Bellicheck. Can't say for certain that he wasn't next on Tuberville's list to replace Rhoads. Who's to say that if Gary Patterson had been hired that he wouldn't have made Rocker the defensive coordinator.
To say that Chiz is the sole reason Rocker returned to his alma mater is illogical. Doesn't meet the burden of proof.
I do give chiz credit for hiring him and hope Rocker is half as good a coach as he was a player. I will be happy to see him in Auburn. This is the first hire that I don't feel kind of queasy over.
-
I think the $170k pay raise is what lured Rocker back to Auburn.

No one is saying that Chiz is the ONLY coach that could have landed Rocker. I am personally glad that he is our DL coach, had your man Patterson hired him as our DC I would have had to question why he could not find an established DC instead.
As far as the betting is speculating comment....No shit sherlock.
How can you possibly feel queasy about Looper, Taylor, Roof, Willis, and Malzahn when just about the entire college football world has such high opinions of them all?

We had fans like you during our regime change. They are called Huggers. More precisely Nutt huggers.
Maybe you are an Ear Rubber.
Change is good if what you possess sucks.
Let the boys drag you kicking and screaming into the 21st century of SEC football.

Oh fuck, here we go again. Somebody else wants to ascribe an opinion to me and make broad generalizations that are patently false. Couldn't be more wrong.
Anybody will tell you that I was NOT on the Tuberville bandwagon. I'm on record for supporting the coup in 2003 and I was fully on board with the decision to make the change. I felt like it was time.
AU was at a crossroads and if Tuberville wasn't the guy to completely rework things and bring new energy to the program (a la Bryant in the late 60s) then it was time to look in a different direction. What was possessed didn't suck, you can't say that based on a single year, but there was a definite trend toward suckage that needed an infusion. Had Tuberville elected to do that, he might have been there another decade or more. But I don't blame him for leaving (or getting pushed) and I certainly don't hold Auburn at fault for letting him go (or pushing).
If you'll come over here I'll kick something that will make you scream through the whole 21st century.

The same college football world I was told to ignore when it boo'ed its collective ass off at the hire of Chizik (when it wasn't laughing said ass off?)
The same college football world that tried to force feed me Charlie Weiss as the greatest fucking coach in the history of the game? Turns out he's not even the best coach over 400 lbs.
The same college football world that wrote poems of admiration about Tony Franklin and pondered if the scoreboards at AU contained enough numbers to keep up with the offensive production?
Okay. I'll take their word for it.
Since we're using the "college football world" as the litmus test, which opinion to you want me to retain? That the assitants are the best thing since chocolate cake or that the Chiz hire makes ND look like geniuses for hiring Gerry Faust. Because that's what two respected writers said: Of all the hires ever made, only the hire of Faust was close to as bad as Chiz.
I'll keep whichever you prefer.

If you will sit back for a moment and take a deep breath, you got exactly what you wanted. Even though the head man is not the splash hire that we all wanted, he has come in here with guns blazing and hired what even you have to admit is a respectable staff. Some like me say it is looking like a super staff. The excitement of the new blood is helping us get some kids to take a look at us that would have not been visiting this time last year. We may not land any of them this year, but at least you have to admit that these new guys seem to not be afraid to get into the fight for some pretty serious talent.
None of us will know the answer until we get to see the product on the field, in the meantime these guys are Auburn and I love Auburn.

So you espoused the coup before it was cool and when it finally happened you weren't cool with it? That's what we called/and still call hugger mentality.
-
I thought you were for keeping the status quo?

I am perplexed.
*sigh*
I'm really tired of saying this.
I wanted change. But I wanted the RIGHT change. The hire of Chizik was monumentally bad, so bad that even if Chizik is actually THE guy, the uphill battle he faces is so severe that he might not survive long enough to find out.
Given the situation that exists in the rest of the SEC, with elite coaches at most rival schools -- including Arkansas -- Auburn needed to make a bold statement if it was going to part ways with Tuberville. It needed to announce to the college football world that it was a serious player in the game and was making a major upgrade.
Instead he hired Chizik.
Gene might be a great guy. He might eventually be a fantastic coach. But what Auburn did NOT need at this critical juncture in football history was to put an experimental product on the field. Chizik is just that -- an experiment, a roll of the dice. Had Chiz come straight from Texas, hot on the heels of a national title and a series of Top Ten runs the hire would have looked much better. Then if he blows it, the hole isn't as deep and the damage not as severe.
But that's not how it played out. Chiz was hired on the heels of two fucking miserable seasons at a shithole. Rampant rumor is that he begged for the job and took it regardless of what it paid. You can see that as loyalty and love or you can see it as the stink of desperation. Had he fumblefucked his way through another dismal year at ISU, he would likely have been tossed out on his ass.
I don't hate Chizik. I don't even hate the fact that he was hired. I simply think that in the situation Auburn faced, having parted ways with a coach who, for all his undeniable faults, was until this season considered one of the top two or three coaches in the SEC, you can't follow that with Chizik. It puts the program in a no-win situation.
Please don't make me go through all that again. I'm tired of explaining it. Very tired.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that when Auburn loses a game next year, there'll be, atleast, one poster here claiming how right they were about the hiring of Coach CHIZIK and that the end is near, or something like that. Want to guess who that poster might be? I'll give you one guess.

The limb won't carry your weight. You'll fall on your face.
I won't bash the product unless it deserves it. I slammed Franklin because in Todd and Burns I saw glaring flaws in the most basic fundamentals -- things that can't be taught during the season -- and I was terrified that AU was in serious trouble. About that I was right.
And I've never said Chiz was a bad coach or that I expect failure. I've only said REFUCKINGPEATEDLY that the hire was bad (it was), it put AU in a difficult situation and behind the eight ball, and for those reasons it could handcuff potential success.
I watched the banner waving Franklin bandwagon running around the track last year with some of the same people standing on top of it shooting off fireworks. And I didn't say anything. And now the wagon is running again, and the same people who were blasting the bottle rockets are back on top with new flags and roman candles sticking out of their asses.
Damn all of you, I hope it works. I hope Chiz can pull it off. But he was put in an incredibly difficult situation that doesn't make it any easier.
I am so fucking tired of having to explain it in detail only to have some myopic reply like "you shore is negative, he's OUR coach." in reply.
But I've reached the point that I really don't care any more. Get on top of the bandwagon and light up the fireworks. If it works out, fine. If it doesn't you'll just be back on whatever wagon comes hurtling by next completely dismissing everything that transpired before and lighting up the sky for whoever's next. There's no point.
-
regarding Rocker, you have to figure Chizik consulted with Gus Mal-a-zhan some about what he perceived his work ethic to be regarding recruiting, coaching, etc.

Don't try to get this thread back on track. I am laughing my ass off right now. I am also starting to see what Kaos has such a problem with. I also felt that way when this hire was made, and I'm sure most of you did too. We had an open checkbook and were talking about some big time coaches that would have been a HUGE splash hire, but we ended up with Opie Taylor. I got over that sick feeling, some people haven't though. I really wish you all would just leave Kaos alone so that he can get back to his work in the concourse.

I thought he was still doing the Drywall at that new McDonalds in Las Colindas.....WOOHOOO!!! I need more Roman Candles!!!!!
Here's some statements from Coach Rock:
“You’ve got to like playing down there,” Rocker said Monday afternoon. “You have to lay it down. You have to leave it on the field. You have to play hurt. You are going to be bumped and bruised. It’s a very tough position, probably the most demanding position in football.”
“First of all, War Eagle,” Rocker told reporters. “I’m glad to be back and working with Gene Chizik and the entire staff.”....“I want to make sure we get it done, do it right and do it the Auburn way.”
-

Gus don't give a fuck what Tracy thinks. He'll figger out a way to beat his D.
