Definitely the 2nd choice behind Gregg Marshall, but possibly 3rd choice (doubt he was 4th choice).

He has never coached college before

Correct, but he's coached successfully at the highest level. The only concern for him at the college level is not Xs & Os, but recruiting. He's killing it there:

Bama currently #9 ranked Basketball Class for 2016

I think maybe he needed for his team to lose bad like that early.

I think it will help.

Agree. We weren't very good last season and we lost every one of our scorers from that team without adding anyone who would take their place. I think Ingram and Austin are going to be good players, but Coleman is a massive disappointment, Retin is a complimentary streaker, not a put the team on his back and score 25 type of guy, and everyone else is just a bunch of dudes.
When I read that they had plans to make Jimmie Taylor an offensive weapon, I thought, oh shite!

Most Auburn fans had Gus as a 3rd choice

Very hard to believe.

When he was hired, I did not know many folks that were excited about a 1 year coach from Arkie State. 


Easily believable

Very believable....and Jim Jones was the server.

Probably was but don't care. Correct, but has coached in the NBA and has strong ties to the AAU circuit and should be able to get bargain basement prices for prized recruits.

Bump. This absolutely has to be the thread of the day, or at a minimum - the most ill-advised thread ever.
