Are you freaking serious?... 
Bentley left for an on-field position in his home state.... shite may be falling apart, but this ain't proof of it.

What you're failing to understand is that without details on why - all we have is spin and rumors. You've spun your story to suggest they're running for the hills.
Reality is that Muschamp and Trob got promotions. LT wasn't going to coach under a DC when he interviewed for that position and didn't get it.
Nobody knows all the details on why Grimes left. We've heard Auburn wanted him to accept an off-field and Cinci offered him an on-field where he can coach with his son. Who knows.
This whole board wanted Lashlee gone but now it's a problem that he's trying to leave. The whole board was sold on that Gus didn't want total control yet now we're melting over him making sweeping changes on the coaching staff. Yeah, Garner is still here but it's undeniable that the DL got better throughout the season and he was instrumental in keeping our recruiting class together while Muschamp was rumored out and we were pressed against time with the dead period rolling around the corner.
It's all spin, folks. The sky is falling if you want it to.

Good. It helps your arguments when you just don't make shite up

but Horton was chasing after the head coaching job at North Texas, which is one of the worst head coaching jobs in the country, and then tried to be an OC at a Sun Belt school if I'm not mistaken
All of which is a promotion. Those are all better jobs than just being a RB coach for your career
quote:
Rhett went to the coaches convention and interviewed for an OC job
Need a link for this. I have seen this said a few times but I have not seen where that info has come from. He was also looking for HC jobs with Tulsa, Tulane and UL Monroe I believe. All of which would be a promotion
quote:
Muschamp reportedly would have taken the DC jobs at Georgia and Alabama if he had not been hired at South Carolina
We have no way of knowing if this is true. The same people saying this can't get their story straight on why Gus is supposedly a terrible head coach. You can choose to believe that but don't expect all of us to take that as gospel
quote:
we lost all our defensive coaches except for the one who has the most connections to the AD
We also lost all the coaches hired specifically by Muschamp. In TRob's case he took a promotion in title to work under his mentor. Thompson took a lateral move for sure but that was because we didn't hire him as DC. So ya I guess he is running for the hills
quote:
we lost Grimes to Cincinnati even though Tuberville is on the hot seat
Who just got over a fight with cancer and now gets to coach with his son for what probably won't be many years left in his career
quote:
If that's not running for the hills, I'm not really sure what is.
Sure if you choose to take the worst possible explanation for anything then you could say it's running for the hills. But if you took a breath, stopped blindly melting for a second you would see that besides Grimes and Thompson no one has made a lateral move. And it is pretty easy to see why those 2 did.
Again not saying life is perfect for AU right now. We have some issues and we have always had issues with the AD. However this idea that we are some kind of sinking ship that no one wants to be apart of is ludicrous.

If Horton wants to move up, what other option does he have? He has been a top RB coach for a decade under Petrino and Malzahn and isn't even sniffing better offers.

Taking coaches with you is incredibly common. Kirby Smart brought Mel Tucker and Glenn Schumann from Alabama.
TRob got a huge promotion + raise and has followed Muschamp his entire career. Lance Thompson was "Muschamp's Guy" and didn't get the DC job at Auburn. We weren't keeping either one of them
quote:

A lot of people thought Grimes was going to retire after his cancer scare this year. Now Grimes is leaving to coach where his son is a GA?
Grimes wasn't staying at Auburn long term even if we offered him guaranteed extended deal. That part I'm not speculating on but know

Can't speak for Grimes but I'm pretty sure he would have stayed under different circumstances.
Auburn should not be a stepping stone for these coaches.

Exactly. Both LT and TRob wanted to stay at Auburn but just couldn't say no to an obvious promotion/raise. Would be like saying Kodi Burns should have stayed as a GA at Abuurn instead of taking a position coach job at MTSU
DyeHardDumbarse is suggesting that Thompson and TRob were "running for the hills" when clearly they were taking their best available option

Grimes just had a cancer scare & procedure, his second since being at AU. His brother and last surviving aunt from dad's family died this past summer. Grimes' son is on a path to be an OL coach so JB will never have another opportunity to coach with his son again.
Don't forget that Grimes has never viewed Auburn as his "home." He lived in an apartment in Auburn. His "house" is in Arkansas and I believe his wife stays there most of the time.

These rumors are 100% opposite of the rumors two weeks ago.
The "inside" guys at Auburn don't have contacts anymore.
Gus was talking to Steele for a while yet the insiders did not get a sniff.

Not everyone wants to be a HC.
Do you honestly think that Grimes was trying to improve his position by moving to Cinci?
LT didn't improve his stock any by taking a similar position
Trob will be titled DC but never given credit for Muschamps defense.
You act like all these coaches are improving their stock in hopes of becoming HCs one day. Definitely not the case. AU should be a dream job scenario for these guys they shouldn't be looking to get out.

PM said that Steele's people reached out to Auburn 3 days before the hire was announced. We were likely getting Roof back until Steele found out he was about to be let go.

OT a little bit , but just bought lotto tickets. First order of business once I am through with the family is going to AU and clean house. Lol. Who do you want me to get rid of first?

As hard as it is for us to admit as fans but AU is not a dream job for lots of people. Great job? Sure. But it's probably only your dream job if you grew up an Auburn fan and played here or something. This is true for any major program. Other than that it's all business. Most of these guys made moves to try and improve their careers by getting more money and better job titles.
You seem hung up on Grimes. As has been explained so many times he wanted to coach with his son. He doesn't have many years left in his career especially with his brushes with cancer. Sometimes people make decisions that have nothing to do with football but their family. One of the reasons we got our awesome softball coach.
As for LT this should be simple. He wanted the DC spot. Didn't get it so he wasn't going to stick around
