If we lose TRob for someone like Phillip fricking Lolley I'm going to kick a damn baby.

I'm ready for the gnashing of teeth but how ironic would it be if Gus hired his former boss to be his new DC?

Of course I'm referring to the Chiz.

We hire a new DC just for Gus to get canned next year and potentially lose the entire staff. frick it, where's Van Gorder?

That is what I am afraid of. Who is going to come here for maybe 1 year. Malzahn could continue to tank and be fired after next year. Who is going to leave a stable situation to take a chance like that?

This is the greatest problem for Malzahn to overcome when selling the position. We're going to have to throw a similar contract out like we gave Muschamp with no buyout, etc.

PM says he is going with Muschamp.

No thanks. Don't want another showboat at DC right now. Plus he is a bammer through and through (born and bred in Rainesville).

Charles Kelly (FSU)


I like this name but why would he leave FSU to come to the DC black hole of AU?

quote:

Phillip Lolley (Edminton)


Meh.

Paul Rhoads (unemployed)


Meh. Could do better, could do worse.

Dave Aranda (Wisconsin)


Don't know much about him, but I doubt he'd take the job.

Steve Russ (Air Force)


Know nothing about him.

Ricky Long (SDSU)


Ditto. Have no idea who he is.

Joe Barry (Washington Redskins)


No way anyone leaves the NFL to come to AU right now.

I think we will have to sell out to get Kelly, but that is probably the best we can do. The reality is we will probably end up with Lolley cause he evidently has pictures of JJ and Tim Jackson blowing each other.

I think there's a chance we hire a scrub to be here just a year. If the instability in our AD is true, no big name DC is going to want to be employed here...definitely not Pruitt or Kelly.

SIAP but JGT said how soon we get a DC is not answerable right now.

FWIW per PM
-FSU DC Charles Kelly is a serious candidate
-Lance Thompson has made it clear he wants the job
-Don't know other candidates right now.

For those wondering AUC, PM, & Ron Sanders have been the quickest, most on point & more accurate site through all this. I will continue to sum JGT but just thought I'd let everyone know.

frick it, give it to Lance. I don't want to see Kelley ruin his career.

I'd put my money on a promotion from within just because the Defense was making strides.

I'd prefer hiring an up and Comer that will be here a few years (minus Gus getting canned). This swapping every year is getting old and I don't see any big names being around after a decent year.

Gus made a decent pick last time so I'm hoping he does this time.
