I wanted Prime we all know that but Freeze is a damn good coach. He doesn’t have a big coaching tree

It’s becoming pretty obvious that his coaching tree might even be smaller by Gus’s by good measure.

Not to mention Freezus is an unknown quantity at Auburn and he isn’t going to get sincere interest until coaches see that Freeze is on the rise at Auburn. People care about job security.

I would go with Odom, T-Will, T-Rob, and never hire Grantham I’m that order.

Me personally Boom, TROB, TWILL, Steele, Odom, Kelly, CRG, Ellis

He said some are already at Auburn, some from where he came from and some from around the country.


You already made it very clear you hated the freeze hire so please spare me the dramatics.

Nothing he does will satisfy your hate freeze itch.

Could y’all please stop listing every coach that played at AU as being a good coach?

The quote above brought to you by the poster who wanted Rodney Garner to be hired as head coach.

Yep very few guys get a second shot at this level. He’s not handing the offense over. I’d be happy with a younger guy who specializes in QB development or whatever.

A big defensive coordinator hire with Hugh handing him the reigns would be awesome. The guy needs the ability to have some input on his defensive staff though. A guy like Boom would make me smile for sure.

Saw a Pruitt suggestion above… I can’t even imagine the melts

I think RG would be a good head coach. Still do. But that statement was made regarding to who we had in Harsin. Once the job opened up Aranda was my first choice, then Prime moved to the front. And I always said the next coach would be Freeze after the firing of Harsin. Just go back through the mega thread it’s all in there.

Also the sentiment was if we fire Harsin who could we get… I said RG. And still think if we couldn’t find an “established” coach because how dirty the mean OL’ PTB did Harsin no coach would come.

So yeah I mentioned Coach G over Harsin and still would everyday and twice on Sunday.

Also, RG was tabbed only in the vein of a Sam Pittman type hire when that type of hire looked sexier.

Correct. Context matters.

And yes for Auburn if we needed a right the ship kind of guy I would have much rather had RG then some out of nowhere up and comer.

I still think a CEO type coach can still make it work. Arkansas ain’t Auburn. But we found a coach with a proven track record. I think Freeze can do a good job here but everyone need to chill the frick out some. I think even with the portal it’s a 3 year process.

Make a bowl game next year, win 8 year 2. Year 3 if you have good OL, DL, and QB play maybe a shot at the playoffs. But there isn’t much rushing the process faster than that. Harsin left us in a huge fricking hole on the roster.

So definitely TWill, C Kelly, TRob, or Joe Whitt Jr?
And RG if no sexy hire can be made? Or give Muschamp a try?
Wayne Hall? Reggie Herring?

First, Coach RG would have made a better choice than Coach Lac or TWill.

Second, I thought I read Prime hired C. Kelly and TRob. Is that right or was someone just fooling around?

The fact that a Sam Pittman type hire looked sexy exactly one year ago and you went for it just makes the opinion of wanting RG as HC look dumber not smarter.

Also you framing it as someone was making you pick between Harsin and Garner is a lie.

I woke up to that news this morning, but the only thing I've been able to find is that he's "targeting" those two from the Bama staff. Nothing concrete yet.

JFC I'm just busting your balls.

You sure are sensitive, but love to dish it out to everyone else.

Gotcha. Thanks for that info. I guess I could have used this smart device I’m typing on but I’m very lazy when I’m away from work.

What am I being sensitive about? I put in context the post what I said.

Once the job came open I wasn’t pumping Garner.

And no I wasn’t lying about the Garner hire over Harsin. I was putting Garner out there because the detractors were saying no one would come here to coach if we fired Harsin after just one year.

But yes I still stand by that and yes I still G would be a good head coach. So to who ever said I was lying… why would I lie to double down on what I said.

Y’all don’t want dialogue around here y’all want to bitch moan and then try to keep score with everyone. I certainly don’t try to appease the board. I have my opinions and anyone can agree or disagree I really don’t give a shite

Freeze sucks - his coaching tree is so small he can’t even hire coordinators

Am I doing this right?

I’m glad he’s out recruiting but I would really like for him to make some decisions/hires soon
