re: You think Miles would take the Auburn job?

For Auburn to ever have a great coach it will have to be someone like Saban when he came to LSU. People knew Saban had potential but he was not widely known and that is what Auburn needs to go after. A young guy with a great resume, not 3 years out of high school.

Thing is, every year there are a bunch of 'young guys with great resumes' who end up mediocre or worse. Remember, for every Saban there's at least a dozen Derek Dooleys, Rick Neuheisels, Dennis Franchiones and Jim Donnans.

Think about it, Auburns two most famous coach's are Dye and Tubberville and neither one really won anything. They were a little better than average but nothing great about either coach.

Hard for me to argue with that. Solid, above average but nowhere near "great", although Dye did manage four SEC titles (1 outright, 3 shared).

Unfortunately, I don't think the AU athletic program as currently constituted has the "corporate culture" it would take to attract a potentially great HC.
