re: Insider Notes From BM: It's Happening

We hired Lance Thompson and he used to sleep with recruits' mothers

Assistant vs. Head coach is the difference imo.

I’m just saying I would be shocked if he is ever the HC at Auburn.

If it happens I’ll be happy to say I’m wrong. If it happens and blows up in our faces, I and probably everyone from his previous stops will say I told you so.

I'm not that concerned about Lane sleeping around

I'm concerned that Lane may be an overgrown child asked to run what is essentially a business

Did he learn under Saban? I hope so, but there was chaos at the time of his exit and he followed it up by taking snarky shots on Twitter, so I'm not quite convinced he's got it figured out

What do you guys see in Clark that he’s so favored? Tough & disciplined? I get that, but he seems like a defensive version of Malzahn. Both were very successful in the high school ranks. Both went on to college coordinator jobs. Both then landed a HC job at a small university for a year before landing HC jobs at a larger university. His results as HC are even similar to Malzahns. I just don’t think he’s a step up from CGM. I could be wrong of course. But I’d rather take a chance on a hot coordinator name.

As someone that lives in Bham and is close to several people that raised the money to save the program, Bill Clark is nothing like Gus. Clark, along with that group of fundraisers, brought UAB football back. Clark is very impressive and comfortable among those people and is phenomenal one on one.

I have also had a couple of chances to be around Gus and see Gus in the same type atmosphere and he wasn't comfortable or good. He's very much an introvert. I ended up talking with his wife the whole night instead. This dinner took place in between 2014 and 2015, when expectations were high. That night is the night I turned sour on Gus. When you see who all was at that table you would be have been dumbfounded and shocked as I was that he just sat there and stared at his food and occasionally talked when prompted. Table:
Ever43 and wife
Tim and Michelle Jackson
Raymond Harbert, his son, and his son's girlfriend
Yella Fella
Gus and Kristi

With that said, and as much as I am impressed with Bill Clark, I don't think he's the right fit for AU at this time.

Just heard a very prominent booster talk tonight about a top target if Gus is fired being Will Muschamp


I really like Muschamp, but I'd be disappointed AF paying an absurd amount of $ just to end up with him

No more Auburn people. New foreign blood please

I really like Muschamp

Me too... He would have to ditch Kurt Roper though. Muschamp with somebody like Matt Canada or Jake Spavital as OC might be pretty fun.

frick that. I'd rather take a chance on a new guy.

Muschamp is a glorified assistant, at best. Florida was a shitshow under him, and he won't have any success at USCe.

Bill Clark, UAB
Matt Campbell, Iowa State
Jeff Brohm, Purdue
Mike Leach, Wazzu
Bryan Harsin, Boise State
Neal Brown, Troy


Any one of them is head and shoulders more competent, professional, and a better coach than Gus and those are all realistic attainable options.
