Since we are all pretty much conceding this as a certainty in the immediate future, I figured I'd start a thread to keep the conversation/information contained. I'm going to hop off the mega-fan posting for a bit and I hope this thread might serve as something to lurk on every once-in-a-while.

Brent Venables - in my opinion, this seems like the best option right now. Easily one of the better DC's in college football and a great recruiter. If we don't snag him, someone else will and we'll probably regret it.

Petersen

That makes one of us, but I'll add it to the OP.

That LSU #40 White was a fricking animal at LB though. Frick that guy. He was like a wizard and was everywhere. He should dress as Pennywise the clown because he is giving our blockers nightmares while they sleep.

Well the idiot head coach ran the same 4 plays over and over again, so it's hard to give White much credit. My mother, who has a minimal grasp of the game of football in general, was calling Malzahn's plays with a higher percentage than most of the poliboard would make on a civics test.

I'm sorry, I get what you are saying and it's valid, but that dude is good just the same.

Seems like there might be some good openings in the SEC this off-season.

Anyone. Don't care. It's not about improving at this point, it's about vengeance.

Gus made Auburn the laughing stock of cfb on every level. Even aubie is getting shite on for the Troy costume. Every team that got upset this weekend is saying "thank God for Gus malzahn."

Just fire him and worry about all that other shite later.

Piss on hiring a Coordinator and hoping he will make a solid HC. Its time we go get a legit gat damn HC. First order of business is getting JJ off campus. He has to go before he has any influence over the next HC hire

I agree he is an excellent option.

Dave Aranda


Not ready to be a HC yet. Or at least hasn't proven enough, imo.

quote:

Peterson


I assume you mean Petersen. He ain't leaving Washington.

quote:

Patterson


Maybe in 2008, but that ship has sailed. He isn't leaving TCU with all the money they have put into that program in the past number of years. He is one of the few coaches who can say he built a program from scratch.

quote:

Franklin


He belongs at Penn St.

Nebraska is probably going to have an opening, Frost will end up there if so...

Let's go get the anti-Gus, Lane Kiffin.

Excellent recruiter, great offensive mind, hates Nick Saban. I think he would be the perfect guy to bring the swag back to AU and retire Saban like Dye did Bryant.

He's safer than some of coordinator options floating around like Venables or Aranda and I don't like our chances of landing a proven commodity... Look at our last two coaching searches, we ended up with 5-19 Chizik and Gus.
