USCe press is reporting Rocker quietly packed his shite, left campus, and didn't say goodbye to anyone.

Also Beamer made public statements about Bobo:

quote:

"When I find out somebody tells me one thing but means another, I have a problem trusting that guy. I’m doing my best to make sure we have those guys that I know when they tell me something [that] I can take it to the bank."


I can understand Beamer's frustrations, but he should know being the son of a coach that this is a super cut-throat business. What happened is not unique to him, but happens every season around the country. AU has had its fair share of coaches who "loved being at AU" who up and left. shite happens, get over it. I don't believe a word coaches say and neither should anyone else.

One thing that I'm sure makes a difference to him is that Friend just got hired and Bobo and Rocker just had new contracts approved by their BOT.

but SC fans said Beamer told Bobo he needed to take the job at Auburn..........because Bobo was forced on him and Beamer really didn't want him.

Rocker is a great DL coach. Lazy recruiter.

Yeah if we could only combine him and Garner into the same individual.

Rocker knows Mason, who spent the last seven seasons as Vanderbilt head coach. Rocker’s son, Kumar, is an All-America pitcher at Vanderbilt and is projected to be a high first-round draft pick.

At Auburn in 2010, Rocker’s line led the way for a dominating run defense that gave up just 109.1 yards per game and helped the Tigers go 14-0. Under his tutelage Nick Fairley went from good to overpowering, from a promising player to the best defensive lineman in the country.

I'm pretty neutral on the hire. Yes, he gave us Nick Fairley, but what has he done that's noteworthy since he was here last time? His recruiting while here seemed fine, though not elite. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can't be good at it. The coaching hire enthusiasm has definitely dropped after the coordinator hires, though, so I hope we finish on a high note.

Meh, it’s all about what happens after the hiring that matters. I don’t get the need to be amazed at every hire.

Let’s see some coaching and recruiting and then get amazed or bitch.

I’m loving the meltdown a couple of the USC fans are having

South Carolina fans are the new Arkansas fans.

So our grand plan after firing Gus is to basically hire the South Carolina coaching staff. Great job guys.

You sound like them. Three coaches? Hardly the USC staff. It’s not like Rocker is some stranger out of left field.

There’s some good coaches, but they were in a terrible situation under Boom.

Interested to see how it plays out.

What was the terrible situation? Muschamp was a horrible manager? Can't get 5-stars to South Carolina? What?
