And it doesn't matter anyway. A&M lost all of their 5-stars when they went from Fisher to Elko. The Portal also means that the right new coach can bring his own guys in, like Elko did. The only 5-stars from Fisher's tenure who stayed were guys that were busts and were buried on the depth chart (or were just rotational pieces).

would it be any bigger than the exodus that will happen if we keep Freezus after going 5-7 again?

We’re losing players after this season Regardless.

Only hope to hang on to some is to overpay/make an excellent hire.

the one team in the SEC that has a worse trajectory than AU is Kentucky

and Mercer should be beatable (although they are 5-1 in FCS)

but you’re right, neither are a sure thing

It’s time to make a deal with the devil. Dan Merlin would have this roster scoring 40 points a game. Surround him with some excellent recruiters, and he’ll do great.

Stop using my downvoted suggestions

He’s a pos, but so is Kirby, Saban, etc. Maybe that’s the problem. It’s time to hire a pos that wins at any cost.

After watching a whole bunch of coaching searches thru my life as an AU fan, I have no doubt that Rhett Lashlee will be the next coach.

We could do so much worse than Mullen. Better at UF than Hugh was at OM. Took miss state to heights they’d never seen, albeit brief. Seems to be rolling out in Nevada right now. Like you said, if we surround him with recruiters and the right people he could do well here. At least we would have a competent offense for once. He seems to have adapted his spread style to modern times.

1. We hire a search committee
2. We put either Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley or Bruce Pearl on said search committee.
3. We leak Dabo Swinney as a candidate.
4. Weeks go by and rumors indicate a deal with Swinney is imminent.
5. Swinney stays at Clemson with a new contract. We contact Lashlee.
6. Lashlee turns us down after getting a new extension.
7. We contact Charlie Weiss Jr. He turns us down.
8. We hire Carnell Williams. All critical of the hire hate Auburn and question the integrity of Bo/Charles/Bruce.

I don't know much about him but trying to be realistic, does Blake Baker have the look of a future HC? Young, SEC ties, defensive coach, has turned around LSUs D pretty quickly.

I imagine Auburn knows they have to fire him after this season.

Mullen is not a good in-game coach when shite goes sideways. Kirby would have bulldozed him last night just like he did Hew.
