re: Ron Sanders thinks Gus will be fired

has been coach who's been fired more than Gus

quote:

---

If he is fired, and he really feels Arkansas is home to him and his family, then he will take it(if offered), bc the demand will not be as great as it is here at Auburn. Arkansas, having 6-7 years like we have had under Gus, will be elated and give him a life time contract if he could do that. :)

Back to what Ron is saying your timeline does not match up

Gus will take the arky job if he loses to Bama and UGA.

If he doesn't he will be fired (more than likely)

So he has 2 options agree to take the job now or get fired and hope to god Arky hasn't filled the position already.

If he tries to stick it out here loses to UGA and the IB and lets USC FSU ARKy and other good jobs get filled then he will wind up at Memphis or or a shite tier school.

I don't imagine he's thinking about it too hard right now but a loss Saturday and I bet he's blowing up Sexton's phone

wait wait wait.

My assumption had nothing to do with Sanders comments about Gus getting fired regardless..(I don't believe Sanders on his opinions)

First, I don't believe he will be fired if he wins GA and Alabama games.

Second, I think if he beats Ga. He will gamble on staying here.

If he loses to GA, then you are probably right and he will be dialing Sexton on his way out of JHS...:) to start working on contingencies.

It definitely will be interesting to see how the coaching carousel pans out. As for Auburn the next head coach will have a much easier road than Malzahn. Saban is at the end of his career and with a loss to Auburn this year and the eminent departure of Tua he may just depart this year. Saban was able to get about any recruit he wanted in the past. Now he is having to fight tooth and nail with Orgeron, Smart and now Mullen down in Florida. The stockpiling of talent will definitely decline. All of this helps Auburn. Although Saban is at the top as far as a recruiter he is at best average on game day. Auburn need not fumble on the next hire but if handled correctly can propel the program to consistency.

You can add Dabo in the mix with Orgeron, Smart, and Mullen. Plus, FSU is about to hire a big name that should get them back on track.

I think the biggest issue for Saban is his staff turnover every year. It's amazing how many DCs and OCs have left him with hardly no drop off.

I do not think Saban is going anywhere anytime soon but I do believe they could fall back to 10 win program.

Their biggest issue this year was injuries at LB and loss of talent to the NFL without being able to replace it on the Dline. IF you're putting 2-3 guys in the league every year at 1 position it will eventually catch up with you. Especially at DT where you take only a limited number each year and some turn into DEs or LBs in bama's case #JACKLB
