Because you rubbed your wieners together at an Xgate?

That's gay?

I thought it was gay if your wieners touched? Or is it if you look each other in eye during?

Have no idea how Allen will work out at DC. But I loved him in Home Improvement and The Santa Clause 3.

Bring in Tom Allen or promote Lance Thompson and bring in Kevin Greene (OLB Coach), hire a damn good DB Coach, get JF3 and Woody to campus, forge their grades if need be, tell Jeremy Johnson that Coach Pearl needs to see him in his office, teach Sean White how to hold the football for extra points and field goals...then get the player's ring sizes because we'll be on that Championship Train. Choo choo mutha bitches!!!!

From that group, give me Captain Jazz Hands.

Manny Diaz would be a great hire.

With Ted Roof, I'm not so sure. I still remember one game where they showed the coaches on the sidelines and, reading lips, Coach Roof asked Coach Chizik, "should I call that play" (not sure what play it was) and Chizik responded back with, "yeah it's your job, do your damn job." The resulting play gave up about 35 yards on 3rd and 12.

Roof's defense was a weak, bend-don't-break scheme...but...I have seen few coaches that can make halftime adjustments like that guy.

Was just coming to post this. Being reported by Chris Low at ESPN.

Odd, if true.

It was mentioned on our local show a few minutes ago but they were just saying the message boards were big on that rumor. Hadn't heard Chris Lowe is saying it. That at least gives it some legs.

I agree it's odd but I think Jacobs and Malzahn are in 2016 Hot-Seat mode and will shell it out to get the best they can.

Which is why Steele's name in the mix is odd.

He is hit n miss. He shut down TT's #2 O last night. But also gave up 70 at Clemson in 2012 (I think). Saban thought enough of him to have him as DC and he did well there. And I dont think Saban would hire someone he thinks is a shitty coach, as particular as he is about stuff. That said, would he be any worse than what weve had?? Its obvious Steele knows the SEC and knows Defense (X and O wise) but would it translate on the field? He seems to have stretches of lapse. But so did Muschamp againstr UGA and Arky his first go round on the Plains. Steele seemed to do ok this year down in red stick, and thats especially telling since until last night, they had 0 qb play and became 1 dimensional on O. I havent looked but I have to think they didnt win the TOP battle very much after mid season, when D's started keying in on LF.

My natural inclincation is to say "God, no" as I did above, but in reality Steele is really a mixed bag.

Saban coaching tree. The hell you say.

And that Leonard Fournette was pretty good last year.

At least he had an offense with a dimension at LSU.

Steele seems to have a pretty decent resume and has been at some big time programs from Nebraska to Turdville to LSU. Had a failed stint as a head corch with Baylor and corched with the Panthers in the National...Football...League. I've always heard he's a top notch recruiter but that may have just been Bammer blather. That's the extent of my knowledge on the guy, some of which came from the wiki's. Asking seriously:

Why would this not be considered a good hire? What's the aversion for some with Steele?

Better question: Why the hell would this guy leave LSU to come to Auburn? Is money the only factor?
