We hired our former AU legends to form a search committee and went right back to Gus (who i believe was rumored to be the hire to start with)

committee is being formed to search for a coach.

Why make the move now and fire Gus if you don't have his replacement locked up or already have the damn search committee put together?

Things like that don't give me much confidence in the ones running the show.

Jboy tweeting that Cristobal's staff would be electric and then posted the "shush" emoji to someone saying Dell McGee.

I'm telling you all; if its Cristobal then his staff is going to be lights out on the recruiting trail. This is a no-lose decision. Whats the worst thats going to happen? He flops completely as a coach but leaves the next guy a loaded roster?

IF its Cristobal the 'Search committee' makes sense to try and throw off the scent while he coaches his last game

If there's a genuine search committee we fricked

This is a really great point. Which is the opposite of what’s happened with our past three coaches.

Ron and Phillip are ridiculous.

Ron teased an "update".

Phillip posts said "update" about a search committee being formed.

What a joke

I remember when they said stoops was coming a while back. Them and Josh Moon.

It's generally believe that the search committee is not for a search (like 2012) as it is the Auburn reps currently in talks with MC.

Rivals reported on the search committee a couple hours before PAM did.

We have hired a firm in ATL to lead the search lol... Parker Executive Search.

Edit- As of 2 mins ago Oregon 247 mod says he doesn't see Cristobal leaving at this time. I've been trying to keep up with their board, but there's not much info there at all.

Nothing like throwing away a couple more hundred thousand on someone everyone thinks we already have locked up

Optimist me: We were ready to hire Cristobal, Oregon got in the championship game and now we have to act like we're searching for our coach to by him time.

Pessimist me: We were about to hire Steele, fan backlash stopped it and now we don't know what to do so we're putting together a committee.

Realist me: We were ready to hire Cristobal, Oregon promised him a big raise and extension, we didn't have a Plan B and now we don't know what to do so we're putting together a committee.

Conspiracy theorist and pot stirrer me: This is the plan to make it look like they had a big search and Steele is still their guy.

Edit.. Now Marcello Hinting at Steele again

This is the answer.

Assuming you mean the players that Cristobal is following on twitter? Most likely nothing imo. Coaches follow a bunch of recruits on twitter.

This Kevin Steele noise serves three purposes:

1. Provides a distraction

2. Sours the conversation on Steele somewhat, so that if the next HC doesn't retain him/he retires/he decides not to work with the new HC, the fanbase isn't as upset about losing him (we're just relieved he wasn't hired as HC)

3. Provides a potential narrative of "They interviewed Kevin for the HC position but didn't offer him the job, so Kevin decided it was time to move on/retire"

And, if you're going to leak a story, who better than to leak it to than... Philip Marshall
