There is only ONE man for this job:

Word on the street is that he was spotted in Opelika earlier this week.

I too hate Lou, but Skip is a winner and has been everywhere he has been.

In all, he has been involved in eight New Year's Day bowl games during his coaching career. Prior to his stint at South Carolina, the overall record of teams he had been associated with as an assistant coach was an impressive 67-15-2.

And he's been at some pretty impressive places:

Year Position University

2005-2008 Head Football Coach East Carolina University; Greenville, N.C.

2004 Asst. Head Coach/Quarterbacks Coach University of South Carolina; Columbia, S.C.

1999-2003 Asst. Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator University of South Carolina; Columbia, S.C.

1994-1998 Head Football Coach University of Connecticut; Storrs, Conn.

1992-1993 Offensive Coordinator University of Notre Dame; South Bend, Ind.

1990-1991 Wide Receivers Coach University of Notre Dame; South Bend, Ind.

1989 Wide Receivers Coach Colorado State University; Fort Collins, Colo.

1987-1988 Graduate Asst. Coach Florida State University; Tallahassee, Fla.

Just repeating what I heard.

This guy also needs a job:

All joking aside, this sucks for you guys. I really like Tuberville. I hope you can find a worthy replacement.

Some portions of his resume should be discounted as they were the direct result of nepotism.

The ITAT crowd is pretty hot and heavy on Jimbo Fisher.

He does not excite me.

Fuck this mess. Fuck this mess in its stupid ass.

ssgaufan · « **Reply #49 on:** December 04, 2008, 03:31:29 PM »

Hell no to Skip Holtz, and Hell no to Jimbo Fisher.

Strong wouldn't be too bad IMO, or Kelley from the Natti.

tiger88 · « **Reply #50 on:** December 04, 2008, 03:34:45 PM »

fisher? Yeah, lets go with the guy who went to the fsu talent pool and has put forth crappy offense after crappy offense. Seems like an idiotic hire.

Fisher would be a bigger mistake than Muschamp.

I like the idea of Charlie Strong myself.

War Eagle!!! · « **Reply #53 on:** December 04, 2008, 04:31:19 PM »

I know you guys are going to kill me for this, but the more and more I think about it, I think Muschamp may be the best choice right now. I think it is a moot point, but if we could get him, I think it may be a good hire.

Muschamp knows Saban. He knows how he works, he knows how he recruits, and he knows how he coaches. He would know what it takes to compete on the recruiting trail...which is BY FAR what Saban was kicking Tubs ass in. He is a young, aggressive dude. HUGE name! Could generate A LOT of excitement. We would have a solid defense still. I would almost bet that our recruiting commitments would stay put if he was announced. AND I bet that since he is such a defensive mind, he would try to hire a great OC and then he would STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY. He is a young dude and he could be aroud for a while if we treated him right.

I'll say this, he has got IT. Not sure what IT is, but you don't get to where he is, which is in negotiations (as a 30 something) to take over a TOP 3 PROGRAM in the country without have IT. Name another coach that you could say all of these things about. Sure, he has no HC experience...but he has BIG GAME experience and BIG TIME PROGRAM experience. If he yook the job, he would know EXACTLY what he was getting into.

The coach from TCU, Tech, Natti or any of the other schools can't say that...

Leach has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Washington HC vacancy acc'd to Red Raider Sports. He is a candidate for the Auburn job at this time.

Why not? I can just imagine what all you would be saying if he pulled a kid out of the stands and made him the starting kicker...oh yeah but next year you would suck, as you still don't have the WRs to run his offense.

I still say Auburn should try to get Turner Gill from Buffalo...fairly young energetic coach who likes to run the ball...and the PR would be awesome b/c he's black
