quote:Rhule has a history of turning teams around.
When it's all said and done I think Matt Rhule is the best option, mostly because he was an NFL head coach. That is a huge thing to recruits, imo. Plus Rhule can actually coach.
quote:Mullen burnt bridges during the Cam days. No way anybody should get behind him as an Auburn coach. He's weird, can't/won't recruit. Harsin 2.0
Dan Mullen is still a good X's and O's guy and a good QB coach, but he is a retread. His problem at Florida is his recruiting sucked and he didn't even seem to try (much like Harsin). We don't need that problem again.
quote:This is where the wheels fall off. Putting all your eggs in a basket, based on who he might hire, and implying his recruiting will be off the charts. There is so little evidence either of these would happen, based on the miniscule time he's actually been coaching.
I would be fine with Prime and it would never be boring with him around. Prime also could be had for a low buyout. Problem is he isn't really a coach and has little experience at it. His success would depend solely on crootin and on who his assistants are. Prime, however, is highly competitive and hates to lose, so he would definitely give it all he has. Plus I think Bo said recently he sorta likes the idea of Prime at AU.
quote:I get the negative about Freeze, but there is no doubt he can coach, develop players, and recruit. Excellent offensive mind, but unlike Kiffin, has good defenses.
Freeze is better than what we had, but I just do not like the guy. Not because of the hooker stuff, but I just cannot stand his personality. He is one of those "preachy" prosperity Christian people that are really annoying. He is a lot like Jimbo Fisher - when you hear him talk you just think "this guy is a used car salesman." Freeze can back up his talk, but he still annoys me.
Speaking of Kiffin, he's the media darling. But if you review his resume, what has he actually ever done? He was OC on some damn good teams, but when given the keys, he never got it done anywhere. Throw in the fact that he quit on TN and raced out of town, and quit on Saban a week before a Natty game. That guy screams flake.
In my humble opinion, of all the guys out there, Rhule is the best option. What he did as a college coach was pretty amazing. Took two bottom dwelling programs and brought them back.
