Cristobal isn’t happening. Auburn has bigger fish to fry. A certain former NC winning coach...

You can’t compare Freeze to the hiring of Bruce Pearl. Auburn basketball could afford to take a flyer on Pearl because it’s traditionally one of the worst basketball programs in the conference.

Auburn football on the other hand cannot afford the risk and baggage that Freeze brings. If AU were to hire him and he demonstrates that he hasn’t learned from his pst then the program is in major jeopardy.

Freeze is more proven as a head coach than anyone else on the list and at worst is on par with Cristobal in recruiting. I think he should be the guy, but at the very least should be near the top of the list.. doesn't matter though if he isn't being considered.

True, Bruce had a show clause and we hired him anyways. AND were about to be put on probation for cheating. Where's your outrage for that?

baggage that Freeze brings
what baggage exactly?

Just a friendly reminder that our best writers generally know jack shite when it comes to this.

As I stated, our basketball program has sucked for decades. Why should I be outraged?

Spare me that question. He’s a proven cheater with questionable ethics.

Not really. He left Ole Miss in shambles.

I would be stoked if we scored Stoops. He was so consistent with 10 win seasons.

I truly feel Sark and Kiffin should be in that bottom group.

So its not really about principles or about Auburn's image.

Its about the Football programs image.

So is Bruce Pearl

How is that an indicator that he will do it again. Seriously flawed logic there

My entire argument is that the football program is in a different situation. I’ve made my case pretty clear. We’ll agree to disagree.

Why am I hearing grumblings of Steele? We are complete dumbasses if we "settle" for any crap candidate.
