The short list?

Petrino beats anyone else! At least he can win

[djsimp]

I would think that before we hire-Someone (PTB) needs to be fired. No coach worth his salt is going to come in and have people looking over his shoulder (Dye).

Well, I thought that has already been established.

I was reestablishing.

Patience?

Need to avoid any semblance of Arky with interim lame duck. Petrino was Auburn's choice once but apparently that ship has sailed... at least per Dye. Unclear also as to the relationship between CBVG and BMFP from Atlanta days. Also Joe Whitt Jr. followed Petrino from Louisville to Falcons. We know Petrino's job jumping history but little else really besides his most recent troubles which someone will choose to overlook and prosper from whereas fan interest $ at Auburn is about to take a nose dive without a drastic move to correct the problem which IMO is lack of development.

ie. Give Saban our last two recruiting classes or Petrino this offense.

Chizik had Tub holdovers and they won the lottery when they got Cam Newton for one magical season.
Tried to land Russell Wilson but in hindsight I still doubt we had the personnel to do much better than last seasons finish even with Wilson.

I only know that Auburn has recruited like never before and I see that ending badly if there is a house cleaning. I understand you never want to shackle a new hire but they have to know what a guy like Taylor and or Luper can do before they allow the next program to just pick them up. And I don't care if he can't coach as well as any of us. Like Rodney Garner he can hurt you long term as much as any perceived good coaching hire can help. Just patiently thinking aloud as a fan. Don't claim to know anything about the power structure at Auburn.

Chip Kelly

Please no...why?

Also why would he leave, he has a good thing going.

Edit* add he would have his shit pushed in the SEC btw.

Why not?  Not advocating for him, just curious why not?

The swoosh money stays in the PNW.

Why, obviously this all based on my opinion.

First, not a big fan of offensive minded head coaches. He reminds me of Terry Bowden redux, small fast scat backs that would get obliterated in the SEC.

I am not a spread fan, I think it is an interesting offense, but I think you have to recruit perfect players, I don't know that those players are located in the south.

They play such a different style of football, I just don't think he would be successful in the SEC. I base that decision on the fact that every time they have played an SEC team they have been beaten.

Finally, I just don't care for him. He seems like a cocky motherfucker that hasn't done shit.

What?

The Saints Suck!!!   

[Buzz Killington]

I wanted Brian Kelly before Chizik was hired in the first place.  I would LOVE to have him now.
That ship has sailed though, and the Queen still thinks the world is flat.

Godfather when it comes right down to it ALL SEC HC's are cocky mfers. If they aren't they are bottom dwellers. Pat Dye was as cocky a sumbitch as it gets in his day, definitely no angel. That stammering poor mouth routine doesn't hold up to the hell he gave Jack Crowe and Pat Sullivan on the sidelines in front of the JH faithful and knowing a "lil bit" , nor does the story of his pants on Lake Martin.

I don't have a problem with the cocky. I have a problem with the Lane Kiffin Cocky. Guys who think they are bad asses but haven't done shit.

You can talk shit all you want...but you better be able to back it up.

I am sorry I don't see ours as cocky-which to me is a problem.

Nor do I but I wanted badly for us to trend upward and instead we are reeling.

[dallaswareagle]

 Well we are a bottom dweller.

Not crying in my Shiner Bock/ Bass but I'm one unhappy mofo today.
