UCONN?!

[jmar]

I'm betting on Chris Todd or Barrett Trotter coming back.

I'm betting on whomever Jacobs allows him to hire.

[AUTiger1]

Probably Chip Lindsey or some other underwhelming name.

[jmar]

On the bright side...Danny Ford's illegitimate, idiot son just beat the best team money can buy so there's always hope.

[Buzz Killington]

Probably Chip Lindsey or some other underwhelming name.

Lindsey wouldn't be a bad hire, just not a big splash.

Mildly embarrassing for our OC to make a sub-lateral move, but fuck it: the Gushlee umbilical cord has finally been cut.

We'll get to see what kind of HC Gus really is, hopefully.  If it's another member of the Malzahn coaching tree sapling, I'll be disappointed.  This offense needs a new voice and some new ideas...and a QB coach would be nice, too.

My wish list:

Not in any order. Basically for me there is Briles and then everyone else.

1) Kendall Briles - Former Baylor OC and current FAU OC.
2) Chip Lindsey - Arizona State OC
3) Mike Yurcich - Oklahoma State OC
4) Randy Sanders - FSU Co/OC

What I hope doesn't happen, Herb Hand being promoted to OC.

I'd avoid NFL guys due to a culture misfit.  I'd run at these guys (in order of preference):

Lincoln Riley - Oklahoma OC
Jeff Scott - Clemson OC
Todd Fitch - La Tech OC
Mike Yurcich - Ok St OC
Lonnie Galloway - Louisville "OC"
Whoever is calling plays in Tulsa

[AUTiger1]

Jeff Scott and Jake Spavital would two that I'd be elated with Gus hiring.  Not sold on Briles, yet.

Lincoln Riley would be the Big Papi home run hire IMO.  Not that he's even a candidate, but seeing his name under real consideration would give me pause for chub.  Not just because of what he did at OU this year, but his time at ECU was pretty dang skippy.  And...cough...cough....he corches QB's. 

It would take Muschamp $$$ though.  He's pulling down $900K.

Pay him.

Pay that man his money.

Of these that are listed, who would be more likely to stay more than a year or two? Sure, we all want to see the Auburn offense to be top notch, but who out there could do that and be likely to stay more than 2 years?

I'm kind of to the point where that's just the nature of the business.  They're all hired guns anyway and putting down roots for very long is becoming the exception and not the norm.

No worries y'all Lashlee will be back in 2 years when Jacobs offers him 7.5 million to be our next head coach.

Can't get Riley. Spivital is only 31. Briles knows Baylor's passing game-installed it. Wes has some good candidates but ultimately I want a guy that knows the culture, can absorb the playbook and even moreso, teach QBs.
What worries me is that Hand was a co-coordinator once and that might be entertained.

Unlikely.  The demand for Rhett is too high.  We won't be able to match what's coming his way.

[chinook]

three stacks of high society.

[Godfather]

My guess is it will be Chip Lindsey
