we are gonna get a bigger name than usual for HC this time.


They will definitely shoot for this. The name will be someone nobody is thinking of if this happens.

Otherwise we will get one of these 4:

Lanning
Elko
Grimes
Rhett Lash

You nailed it.

They look at Kiffin (as a collective) as a CFB whore that can never settle as well as being socially awkward and is not a fantastic recruiter but IS good at evaluating and developing talent through the portal.

Stultz from the Bunker asked Cohen if he’s ever shared a hot tub with a football coach.



That was embarrassing. Symptom of the times .. me and my takes.. like Cohen would have a clue (definitely was awkward for Cohen).

Uhh...I hope he's on step 30 or higher at this point. We only have 18 days until the Iron Bowl, for crying out loud. I'd rather not have to wait much longer than that for an announcement...

If you’re hoping for a hire before the iron bowl, you’re going to be disappointed

Stultz is my hero for the day. Yeah probably not appropriate at the time but even the Auburn beat needs to ask direct questions and stop pussyfooting around just asking basic bitch questions to the leadership and coaches.

ETA: if it’s not Lanning, Elko, Grimes or Lashlee then it will be someone completely out of left field.


They will go get Nick Saban or Ryan Day. If not one of those it will be someone else we don’t know about.

See how easy that was.

1- Urban, Kiffin
2- Freeze
3- Prime, Lanning

This is how I rank the names tossed around. I think all could/would win. I believe urban and kiffin would be program changers right away.

I put prime and Lanning further down because of exp as a head coach.

We have people in here equally confident it will or will not be Kiffin. I was hoping to read these cliffs and have a better understanding of who Cohen might get… nope

OK - I've stuck it out long enough. What the hell does JABA stand for? I don't frequent here often enough apparently to have caugh the thread or post from which this acronym was born and it's been thrown around constantly over the last several weeks, at least.

My apologies. I'll take my licks.

Correct. The first time saw this stupid shite was before Gus was hired.
If Auburn didn't hire Petrino it was "JABA."
Just Auburn Being Auburn
Anyone who was against Petrino was a "creeder."
One who hoped to find a coach that embodied the qualities mentioned in the Auburn creed.

Watching now. Who is the wise guy who asked Cohen if he has ever shared a hot tub with a coach?

The whole room full of beat writers that had the context.
The comment was dumb, ill-timed and not well thought out, and it put Cohen on the spot.
