I think hes a good hire relative to who was out there. He didnt have the talent obviously at usf, but his teams were tough and competitive against power 5 competition for the most part, and he can clearly coach offense well. Him + durkin assuming he stays will have Auburn in a good spot IMO.

lol indeed. The first game in Tuscaloosa was pretty legit, but even there it fell apart into a blow out. The next year was next to meaningless since it only showed USF was capablle of containing.... Tyler Buchner.


You have it backwards. We played them in Tampa in 2023 and won 17-3.

We played them in Tuscaloosa last year and blew them out late for a 42-16 final.

Did the Barn hire him because he kept the score close against Alabama in 23 while at South Florida?

1000% everything they do is with Alabama in mind.

Maybe he’ll be good. Harsin looked good at Boise. Napier looked good at Louisiana. Track record kinda shows they don’t really know what to look for in a coach.


I'd like to also add Charlie Strong and Willy Taggart looked good at USF.

Heupel offense has started to get figured out to some degree. We will see how the roster looks once the dust settles in a few weeks. Unknown his recruiting ability

I think it's a good hire, but I thought the same of Harsin and Freeze, so what do I know?

You know just as much as Athletic Director John Cohen. You should apply!

?? I thought that you might actually be Scarbinsky when I read his tweet.

I actually think Booger McFarland is on here as an alter as well as last night he was quoting word for word one of the posts regarding our chances at making the seccg and cfp.

Golesh is a Russian dude that was spanked by a Trent Dilfer coached UAB team.

I'm not losing sleep.

Yeah I'd be skeptical if it were us. And he suffered plenty of embarrassing blowout losses. People make the claim "but he won at South Florida" forgetting Taggart and Strong did too.

I just watched his PC and it was cringe. But Auburn is so desperate at this point, they gotta get behind the guy but I'll be surprised if he's still coaching there in 2030.

They hired him because he was Tennessee’s offensive coordinator in the 2022 game when we lost to them. Everything that those idiots do is to beat Bama. That’s it.

Booger can’t even type with those fingers. He holds his hands up and six people think he’s pointing at ‘em.
