Downvote me but I want Auburn to take it to the next level. I want rivals shitting themselves and Saban to get upset with our hire. We're the 12th-13th best program of all time, if we want to become elite we need to do something drastic. No retreads, no reaching, no settling. We can't if we want to be consistently great and beat the shite out of our opponents.

New President, Fire JJ and anyone drinking his koolaid. We all know this is step one. Full colonoscopy. Step two, hire an AD with some huge balls with some real world experience, no Auburn connections. Pay them, it will pay dividends. Then get some high powered alumni to visit Auburn and with the AD tell the BoT that football is what fricking matters here, and that the only way they will support (and donate) is if they stay the frick out of it. They've never done any good anyways and they'll look like heroes if they gtfo of the way. Demolish the good ole boy nonsense, frick the shitty arse PTB, it's 2017.

Then go make every big name college coach's agent, NFL OC/DC, every damn body say no, starting at the top of the list. Tell them they need to have some big arse balls if they want this job and that their job is to get this program to the top. Playoffs is goal every year. You're going to hand them the keys to the whole program. You're going to build a performance based contract that will put them at Saban money if they perform.

Auburn fans will support the shite out of a year-after-year dominant program, WAY more than many current elite programs fans. We have been starving for it for decades. The money will come in droves, facilities will be upgraded, and we will be in contention every year. We need an asteroid impact that puts even Bama on notice.

If we shoot for less, we are going to get less, we will continue down this road we have since 1890. We are all fricking ready for this. I don't know who fits the bill, who has the set it takes to do this, but it's long overdo, it's time to make it happen.

So all we need is something that does not exist.

Except that every successful coaching hire since 2000 (2+ BCS/CFP appearances from coach) has come from these groupings / don't meet your criteria

- Promoted Coordinator/ position coach
- Top coordinator at other school
- Hired non P5 coach
- CFB coaches who washed out of NFL (No current candidates)


There are 3 notable exceptions, these guys wouldn't meet your criteria though

LSU - Les Miles hired from Okie St after win% of 57%
LSU - Nick Saban hired from Mich St after win% of 57%
OSU - Urban Meyer hired from "retirement"


Highest profile hires directly from P5 schools have failed

Ark - Bret Bielema 3 BCS at Wisc, 0 at Ark
USC - Lane Kiffin from UTk
Mich - Rich Rodriguez 2 BCS at WVU
