There’s no way they are hiring Steele. You don’t replace a 55 yr old HC with one that’s approaching 70. All these writers are taking the Finebaum approach of shite stirring for clicks.


Stop making sense. I’ve been told here that Steele knifed Gus in the back.

No it doesnt. It speaks volumes for the dumb arse fans.

Stoops absolutely hates the SEC. Always has. He turned down a free ride at Florida State. He is not coming to Auburn. Neither is Urban

actually think there is a lot of truth to what he has said. They would not just make all of this up.

I see you haven’t been through a coaching search before

Go read the last coaching search thread

I'm with you. I don't know whats true and whats not. Its strange to just offer up info like that to me though. No hints or anything, just straight up coming out with it. No one else is disputing it. 247 Auburn site is basically risking their reputation with this. If they are wrong I'm not sure they could be trusted with anything else.


No matter who we actually hire they can/will spin the story to still fit within their made up narrative. There is no real risk for them. These are the same insiders who literally never have any inside information. Heck Kevin Steele’s name was never even mentioned as a candidate when he was hired 4 years ago. Now they have the the whole inside scoop about the power struggle to get Steele as head coach for the last two years??

None of it makes any sense and I can promise you it’s not true. I would ask why they would pick such a ridiculous angle to run with, but the number of people freaking out and running over here to discuss ever last made up detail says they clearly know what they are doing?

Steele cannot be the hire after 8 years and a massive buyout. They cannot be that stupid. I refuse to believe it.

I think Freeze is long out of the equation. Christobal is the guy. Please Auburn do not frick this up. I cannot handle another year of this shite. I haven’t been to a game in years. And I at least go to one a year....not that I matter in the grand scheme of things but still.

Stoops has always hated the SEC and has said he does not have any interests in coaching there. Plus, he turned down the Florida State job a few years ago which would have been a much better job for him. He isn't coming to the pressure cooker on the plains.

Not going to happen

AU HC Search: Day 2

Mario Cristobal: Addressed rumor last night. Says that he or his agent "haven't be contacted". He also says rather directly that he, Phil Knight, and UO admin are working on an extension that was started pre-pandemic. He said he wants to get that done and stay, but did not go all "pine box" or Nick Saban with Dolphins.

Kevin Steele: Leading candidate for the job according to our idiot insiders. I say take that with a grain of salt. Auburn does insane things, but I say making Steele HC is too crazy for even our power brokers.

Hugh Freeze: No radio traffic, nothing to report.

Lane Kiffin: Addressed our job directly and made a big joke of it. Doesn't seem like a candidate at this point.

Billy Napier: Nothing moving there...

Look forward to a frustrating day of scrolling Twitter. War Eagle, MFers!

Actually our football program got rid of Gus, which is what most everyone wanted at this point. That’s the only thing that’s factually happened.

The rest is y’all melting over every last word these beat writers and “insiders” throw out there.

“insiders”


I could not agree more about the "insiders"

Just curious - how many of those "insiders" broadcasted anything about Gus getting fired prior to it actaully happening? None that I have seen (If I am wrong just let me know)......with that being the case I don't put much stock into what these "insiders" are reporting leading up to a new HC being hired

None. Not a single fricking one of them. Which is why it's INSANE to be listening to them now.

He didn’t say all of that. A lot of that was from you. Also, every coach says this because they have to. So this is traaaaash

You are not saying he stretched things are you?


I thought Mario said that he did not know if his agent had been contacted.

Cristobal Summary/Transcript

I paraphrased of course, but I don't think that I stretched any of this.


And... frick you, Lanier. Nice of you to come out of hiding. Sorry for your loss. Positive note, Gus will have some free time now. You can take him fishing or suck his dick, whatever you're into.

Don't be pissed at me because he called you out on your bullshite. If you are going to report things, don't change them. People here are on the edge as it is.


Direct from your link.

"We seem to get a lot of rumors this time of year. I can say that I haven’t been contacted. I don’t know if my agent has been contacted, I talk to him every single day."
