OL...I can't remember winning a deep south OL that others wanted badly. We did get fooled by the kid from up North.
Calvin Ashley was a 5* LT but he was a bust and left. Austin Troxell was wanted by everybody and we were excited to get him but injuries have derailed his career. We’ve landed several highly coveted guys on the OL but a lot of them just never panned out.

ETA: I thought Calvin Ashley was from Florida for some reason so maybe you’re right.

Also explains how FSU boosters were willing to pay $18mil to fire Taggart. Appearing that “stoops to AU” had some legs last year.

This news is going to suck if true, we were that close to having him.

If he goes to FSU there is no doubt we could have had him...

Yep. Glad Leath and JJ are gone. New AD needs to grow some balls and pull the trigger

Just jumped in this thread to say FSU hiring Bob Stoops is not a valid reason to melt. Carry on.

Pretty sure he tried to last year. But another butthurt trustee leaked the info, and Stoops was gone. Atleast that’s how I remember reading how it went down.

Honestly I'm not sure Stoops is cut out for the modern SEC at this point. You have to be tireless and kind of insane.

Stoops strikes me as far closer to Jimbo or Mack Brown than Saban, Dabo or Urban.

He will play his part once the players are allowed to get money for likeness and such.

No, apathy at this point.

I did find the Stoops thing interesting though. A few insiders elsewhere claimed a big power struggle between a couple of the super rich BOT’s. Who knows.

I don’t see how that guy survived that fall.

You can rest easy man, Bob is not going to FSU per Herbstreit. Put the parachute away bruh.


Hold up with a correction, He is not currently "a candidate", but is on FSU's list.

WTXL ABC 27 Spoke w/ Bob Stoops this morning. He tells me the rumors/reports of him being a candidate for the Florida State job opening are not accurate. Says he was at the new Hard Rock Casino all day yesterday and at a Dan Marino Foundation party last night. Not interviewing for FSU job.

Heard that one before. Stoops seems to always say this after a rumor floats. We will see.

TBH, I really don't want Stoops.

He is what maybe 60 years old? And He is going to light a fire at Auburn, w/ recruiting in areas he has never been or gone to before? He is going to stay here long enough to right the ship? Maybe.

I just don't think he is what we need long term....
