If they do end up getting Anderson, it will irk me.  Particularly if he wins there. Anderson wanted to come to AU but our brilliant administration butchered it.

I'm with you.  I'll be pissed if they get Anderson, mainly because I wanted him at Auburn when we hired Lebo.

If my memory serves me correctly, he wanted to get the job w/o having to interview.

That is kinda sad, but any of you remember when Michigan State was looking for a new coach after Bobby Williams? Who did some the fans and a few alumni want? None other than Tom Izzo. They even talked about it on ESPN.

I don't see the problem with this.  It wasn't that Anderson wouldn't come talk to Auburn, he didn't want to be forced to go through an "official" interview. 

The administration's policy of requiring "formal" interviews or whatever is part of what got us in this Chizik mess.  Wouldn't talk to anybody unless they got permission and other such bullshit.

What legitimate, successful coach is going to jeopardize his current situation and piss in his current employer's face by submitting to an official interview with no reasonable guarantee that they will get the job?  You do things that way and you either get coaches at lower-tier places or coaches that nobody else wants -- including their current employers. 

It gives coaches an out with their fans and administration if they can honestly say "No, I never interviewed for that job, I wasn't a candidate."  Even though we KNOW it isn't true, it's what we want to hear. 

Booo.  Fucking booooooo.
