It took Bama over 10 years to figure out no coach wants to coach in Tuscaloosa. After they fired a good coach in Mike Shula they could not find any one to take the job. So they committed to pay Nick Saban 32 million dollars to take the job. Now Auburn fires one of the best SEC coaches of the past 10 years. How long will it take Auburn to figure out they have to do the same by paying a proven coach at least 32 million to coach at Auburn? Time is running out.

Serious..Mike Shula was fired because he could'nt beat Auburn.
He never Got Alabama to the SEC game or beyond. I personally like Mike..However College Football is a Buisness. The Football Revenue normally supports the entire Athletic Dept.

Then if your program is Mediocre Revenue is lost.

He was a good coach because he never beat LSU.

they could not find any one to take the job.


We hired a top 5 CFB coach.

There is so much wrong with this thread that I don't know where to start. And time isn't running out. Albeit all of the rumors that people are hearing, Auburn probably has a short list of about 2-3 people we are truly interested in.

Word is that Auburn has found their coach, they just can't find anybody who can read or write to sign his contract.

I can respect jokes made about Auburn when they are actually funny, but this, man, this just isn't funny.

The reason I say time is running out is the football season is over except for Bowl games. Coaches are moving around now and if Auburn does not move soon they will have little to choose from in the college ranks.

As far as who they should go after it's really simple, an NFL coach. I think that is the only way they can compete for recruits at the level they want to. Obviously they were not happy with Tubberville. So if they are going to continue to dominate Bama they have to hire a coach who can out recruit Nick Saban. The NFL is the only option I see. All recruits want to play in the NFL and Saban was a miserable failure in the NFL.
I also would not rule out a coach from the Canadian Football League as an option.
