Still don't like the way it's being handled. Not to mention that his wife can't seem to stop running her suck about it. I mean let the old man keep some dignity. Damn.

RichRod will get another year.  I agree with the others.

Right now, I'd say it's a 40/60 shot of him going. I initially thought Harbaugh would be strongly considered, but he apparently burned some bridges in Ann Arbor.

The Louisville job will be open, too.

It's going to be an interesting off season.

I say the Florida job will be open if Weis gets the pink slip.

1. Groh - UVA - Agree. Good spot for Tubs, in my opinion.
2. Bowden - FSU - Nope. He knows where the bodies are at FSU. He buried most of them. 2011.
3. Rodriguez - Michigan - He'll get another year. Beating Ohio State this year would buy him more time.
4. Fat boy - Maryland - Probably.
5. Weis - Notre Dame - Not sure here. I can see it because the direction of that program is in doubt, but I don't know who they would get. Not Meyer.
Title: Re: Coaches gone at the end of the year
Post by: jadennis on November 09, 2009, 01:39:24 PM
If the Doomers don't get Meyer, I would think Brian Kelly would be the next guy they'd go after.  Or Saban.  I don't see Saban leaving bama, but I'm sure they would try for him...why not?

Kelly was 118-35-2 at Grand Valley State.  Then three years at Central Michigan went 4-7, 6-5, and 9-4.

Now 31-6 at Cincy.  Notre Dame should go after him while he's available (available meaning another top program hasn't already stolen him).   

Terry Bowden to Louisville maybe?

I also think Tuberville would be a good fit at Virginia, and I'm sure he knows the ACC is open to any program ready to take a step above mediocrity.  The Techs and Miami are the only one's doing anything.  What happened to Butch Davis' Tar Heels?

If he would have left in the past few years when he should have, I doubt it would be handled this way. I think Diddy doesn't want to let it go, even though its painfully clear his time is up. Thats why we're seeing what we are seeing.

Gus is the number 1 replacement per a poll at the commercial appeal.
Buy or sell?
What would Dyer do if Gus took the Memphis job?
Money?
Hard to pass up a million a year.
I think Gus would be better suited in staying here at Auburn for a few years and proving that his method will work in the SEC.
A million dollar a year job is hard to turn down when you are only 5 years removed from high school.

Sell. Another 2 years on the plains and he can get a really decent gig with way more money. Memphis would be his Iowa State.

Actually, I think Memphis would be a great starter job for Gus.  Memphis is a great area for recruiting, and he's close enough to Arkansas to pick up the stud high school players that Petrino has no use for.

I disagree.  I think Malzahn would rock Conference USA.  He'd have (granted, second tier) offensive recruits begging to get an offer.  That league wouldn't have enough speed on defense to slow it down.  It'd be Tulsa in the Southeast.  

I'm buying.  If Memphis gets down to offering a coordinator like Malzahn and offerin $1 million+, he'll be gone before January.

And to add - that's the name of the game.  Assistant coaches mostly want bigger gigs.  No matter how successful we are, Malzahn will eventually leave for something else. 

That's one reason why I dislike having an unconventional offense.  If Malzahn leaves, we'll be stuck looking for another "genius" just like him.

No no no...we'll just promote the O-line and the special teams coach and make them co-offensive coordinators. They know the system.  Easy transition.  It's worked before...right?

Who on our team is a 'system' player?  Which one of our recruits is a 'system' player?  I didn't realize Michael Dyer was a Spread RB.

System players?  That was Tony Franklin my friend.  Eric Smith is 235.  Fannin is 225.  Dyer is a freakin' bull.  Contaye Aycock is 220+.  Our line will all be 300 lb. plus guys next year maybe with the exception of Pugh at center.

I think Rollison and a good bit of the WR corps are system type guys. Goodwin and Reed sort of fit the bill of system receivers as well.

Do you seriously want to know why Evan Doucheberry is writing articles about Trooper Taylor or Gus being under consideration for the Memphis job?

Because he is a bama graduate and a turd at heart. He still breathes and bleeds crimson and laughs every day that he makes money off us stupid rubes who he hates passionately.

The only purpose of attaching their names to that or any job is to damage recruiting. To give rivals a piece of paper they can wave in front of recruits noses and plant the seed that the coach recruiting them might not be there for even their first season. Bama doesn't care if they go to LSU or Florida or Tennessee, their primary mission is to make sure Auburn knows its place first. It's a carryover from the Bear days of doing everything possible to make sure Auburn didn't get the good players whether that meant signing 400 kids or threatening their parent's jobs (which happened then and happens now).

^^This^^

You know what Coach Andy Lutz told me and two other guys a few years ago?  The hardest thing to recruit against is rumors. 

Kids get told a thousand things on the recruiting trail.  Whether it's from their own coaches, other schools' coaches, boosters, media guys, writers for Rivals/Scout, other players, etc; they are given a plethora of information.  They have to sort through all of it and make the best decision. 

Do you ever hear a Bama coach or LSU coach selling their school over the football program or coaching staff?  I can't think of any instances.  Auburn HAS to sell Auburn.  It's futile to sell the coaching staff because Bama tries their damndest to sour our head coach's reputation. 

Malzahn and Taylor (more than likely Malzahn before Taylor) will get their gigs when they get offered.  They'll take a better job opportunity, and you can't blame them for it.  The problem is, until they actually receive a decent offer, we'll be fighting the rumors.

Trooper is your associate head coach and he has been in several big time places he is a choice for any head coaching job. Gus' offense has put him in the discussion as well. Face it guys you have some great coaches on your staff and they are in demand. I wish the barn had a weak staff and no one wanted them.

There's one poster here that thinks you have no clue about what you're talking about....I'm not going to mention his name because I really don't want to see him fucking up another handful of topics.  If Auburn were to lose in these next two ballgames, you'll see him.

Coach Troop and Coach Malzahn have stated that they love where they're at and that they don't plan on going anywhere.  They've said that until the right job opens up, they're aren't interested....sorry bammers.

Terry Bowden
Jeff Bower
Rick Stockstill

I think Memphis would be a bad gig for Terry Bowden.  I actually think with a couple more good years up in N. Alabama, he will get a pretty good job.  I feel sorry for who gets him, but who knows, maybe he learned a lesson over the last 10 years and will turn out OK

Post by: boartitz on November 12, 2009, 05:39:54 PM
I think Gus needs to stay here and have 2-3 good years. Then he may get a chance as HC at a pretty good mid major. I don't see him going anywhere else as an OC.
He has been a HC for several years. It was HS, but some of the coordinators that move up to the head spot have not even had that experience.

I think Auburn would sink to Barfield levels with the quick departure of Malzahn. But I see him seeing this recruiting class through even though the money will be hard to turn down. Then again, perhaps he is built to be a career coordinator. It does happen.
