re: 2015 Auburn Football Recruiting Thread

Being under Jimbo's wing for so long I bet he knows the pro style offense more than he knows ours. Plus he would have a head coach able to help break him in, while still getting credit. Hard to get credit at AU with GUS and even Lashlee ahead of him. Cant say it wouldnt be a good career move.

I haven't heard anything like that. I'd be shocked if that happened. I think he makes as much as Bobo did at Auburn. UGA wouldn't wouldn't outbid us. Plus I think he's next in line at OC when Lashlee finally leaves.

That is completely made up crap.

I call bs on that but Pruitt to TAMU is happening

The Gus to Dolphins and Craig to UGA are rumors being used to negatively recruit against us, nothing more. Craig aint goin nowhere and neither is Gus. At least not for next year

The rest of the SEC knows how much of a threat Auburn is with Gus Malzahn as the head coach.

First post on the AU board! Thanks for whoever let me on. It'll be a fun one!

They absolutely fear him.

We are 20-6 in Malzahn's first 2 years. About to be 21-6

Saban was 19-8 in his first 2 seasons. Since then he is 72-8

I fully expect Gus to be able to mirror if not go over that.

Saban won't be there much longer. Gus will run him off quicker than most think.

Having 8 losses in 6 seasons is pretty much unparalleled in college football history.

While I agree, so far Gus has done better. So far. Without Muschamp and 4 cycles of Malzahn/Muschamp recruits.

On top of Saban being an all time great type coach of the game, he has recruited at a level never before seen

That I will agree with... The only thing standing in our way is the way that midget recruits... I don't get it. He gets the number 1 player at every fricking position.

played against arguably the weakest SEC slate by luck (UTk, LSU, AU, UF and others all down when he played tehm).

Some years he has. But realistically that 2011 team was unbelievable. He beat an elite UF team in 2009. Ill give him props on that season as well as 2011.

The other years, besides our 2010 run, the SEC has been suspect as far as fielding an elite team. 2012 their OL carried them with Lacy. The SEC was ok that year.

I get some parts of their schedule was easy but they play in the SEC west and usually play a decent opponent to start the year. I wish we would do that. Just not against fricking clemson. If we play clemson one more god damn time in the next decade I'm going to puke.

There is almost no way that Gus even comes close to matching what Saban has done.

---

Meh. Time will tell. It all goes back to recruiting. It is odd to me Oregon does well with their recruiting being average.

quote:

Especially with the SEC getting better every year from top to botton

---

Definitely tougher than what Sabear went through, but I think where we are unlike them is that we don't play not to lose. We play to win every single game balls to the wall. (most of the time)

quote:

---

Auburn will not recruit at the level of Saban the past 5 years. Hell, nobody will

---

Not unless their best buddy is the president of the NCAA...

quote:

---

Saban is not the great coach he gets credit for. There are any number of guys who could win with their talent.

---

Saban has always out-talented opposing teams. He can easily be outcoached in a game and can easily get flustered under pressure to do desperate and stupid things during a game. If the calls are made down the line/leaning against him and the other team outplays his team he begins to unravel pretty easily.

That said, he is the best recruiter out there somehow and has a great eye for talent. And he will take a guy to cripple his opponent before they have a chance.
