Feldman is actually legit and someone I would listen to.

I just don’t see this one happening at all.

I agree, I don't see it happening either. Especially some of the guys returning Mason probably had a big hand in doing.

Secondly, I don't get the non-love for Mason, he kept us competitive in most games, just couldn't keep the D on the field forever.

Mason had awful games to watch and I loathed his charmin soft pass coverages or 3 man rush, but the stats sheet pretty much always showed a decent game.

If he had a bad first half then he tightened up 2nd half. Or vice versa.

So yeah, Mason wasn’t a world beater, but he was pretty good. If you can’t replace that then that’s another net loss.

JGT said last night that he thought this could be a ploy to get more money from Auburn. He’s hearing now that Mason is strongly considering leaving.


Now on a serious note


He reported yesterday Dunbar turned down Auburn’s offer and counter offer. I believe he even said Auburn did what they could but Dunbar didn’t want it

And last night Marcello said Mason and Harsin had a difference in staffing opinions.

So is Dunbar disappointment connected to Mason suddenly wanting to leave?

Taking the OSU job seems like he was fired. I can see leaving for TAMU, but you don't take OSU if you are serious about defense.

Fired for what? Making his offense look bad in the Iron Bowl. Being an actual decent recruiter?

IDK. It is a DC job at an offensive school in a dying league. Not the kind of situation a denfensive guy wanting to be a HC typically takes

We have now run through a new OC, DL coach, WR coach; and possibly a DC in Harsin’s first year.

And these coaches that are leaving are not potato gang. All of this is epic dumpster fire shite

what it would tell me is that we are in big trouble. You don't make a lateral move for moves sake.

Not to a school that doesn't play defense traditionally.

I didn't dislike Mason but even if you did, this would be a bad sign. That said - it's all a rumor until something actually happens.
