re: Landry Football Podcast—A Coaching Scouting Report on “Coach Prime”

Is Sanders on any of their lists? At the end of the season, there will be a lot more. Probably some G5 schools too

He'll be on a lot of lists.


There's a very strong chance that he'll be this cycles Tony Elliot, aka "my black friend" candidate who interviews.

I like this version of Corch.



You're making a ton of salient points lately.

Same Corch. Just the board has swung my way. I'm still a cocky a-hole. Not even saying I'm right about anything in particular I just saw and spoke what I saw earlier then most on the board. That's why I never got pissed just asked people to debate what they were trying to opine. Same as always.

Here's the facts and evidence, no emotion, no subjective shite like "I think he will ......., bullshite.

1. Deion Sanders was the OC of a high school team, just two years ago.

2. He has never coached at an FBS school.

3. He has signed two players, in his two years at JSU, that rate at 4* or higher.

4. The conference that JSU is in, is horrible. Being the conference champ is the equivalent of being the tallest midget.

5. The FCS Coaches Poll has a two loss team ranked higher than JSU, and several one loss teams.

6. Sanders is 55 years old. He started coaching in 2012 at a high school he founded. It was closed under scandal. If you can't do the math, the totality of his coaching experience is 10 years. The guys he will be competing against are at the TOP of their profession. This is like a golden gloves boxer getting into the ring with Ali or Tyson in their prime.

We just fired a Mountain West coach with a pretty good resume, who turned out to be a complete failure at this level, and you want Auburn to take another risk and double-down on a coach from a SWAC school, who has only been doing this shite for two years! This is the theater of the absurd. There is nothing in his coaching record that remotely suggests that he is ready for a jump of this magnitude. Nothing.

1. I don't give a shite how long he's coached. Carnell just started coaching as well. Some people are afforded a quicker move up the ladder because of other intangibles outside of experience.
2. Don't care if he's ever coached at an FBS school or not either. There have been plenty of coaches that have spent their entire careers as a P5 coach and then got to be a head coach and failed miserably.
3. Yes a whole 2 players rated 4 star or above. How many before Prime? How many 3 stars before Prime?
4. No one ever said the SWAC was an elite conference. It's lower the some juco teams.
5. We aren't going to be asking Prime to out x and o other coaches. That's why he will have money to bring in a staff that can. I bet Saban or Dabo can't out scheme most coaches in the country. If he coached 20 more years I don't know that Prime would be some terrific x and o's coach. A couple things we can gather from his short tenure. He can recruit, he can motivate, he is a no nonsense old school coach, and appears his teams are well prepared.

My question to you is do you want to continue to bring in top 15 classes. Lose to Bama and Georgia most years. LSU more then we win and toss ups every year with aTm? But have a "elite" x and o's coach standing on the sideline? If so we never should have fired Gus. Sure his last couple years was hampered by lack of OL talent. I'll give you that. But Gus could out coach any head coach in the league. That's why we dominated the also rans, and were basically the only team that could compete with Bama.


I'm not against any coach that's been mentioned. I just have Prime as my number 1. You don't. Big deal. Who care what either of us want. We don't make the decisions but these pissing matches every time Prime is mentioned is a little cra cra. Maybe we will hire whoever you want as coach and we win 15 straight national championships. nothing would make me happier. I just want to win.

This cannot be stated enough and is exactly what kept us not only from winning the Natty against FSU but also running with that momentum and sustaining

DB diving at the receivers feet and missing was the last straw

We were doomed after that

I remember watching the fake punt, and I called it being a fake welllllll before it was snapped.

I, too, was yelling "FAKE!" from my section of the Rose Bowl. I got a few "you were right" looks after.

I say Prime + really good OC/DC could be the best bet. We need him for the management of players and the reinvigoration of the Auburn image.

Real talk. Is Caddy a better option than Prime? Rich ex-NFL athlete with actual SEC coaching experience.

How would he get a really good OC/DC? Most really good OC/DCs are trying to learn from a HC in order to be an HC themselves. Why would they want to learn from someone that they probably know more than?

He's driven but not scared of failure. To many coaches coach scared. I see that similarity in Prime and Kiffin

---

Amen. That's another reason why they are my top 2 as well.

When you have a talent advantage, every team you play against is going to have a carefully orchestrated, methodical game plan against you. You can't coach scared.
