KScarb article mentioned this great little tidbit

quote:
Make no mistake. Petrino isn't the only good coach available. He isn't the only coach that could go to Auburn and win because every coach that goes to Auburn wins. Every Auburn coach since Pat Dye has done more than one of the following: Won at least 11 games in a season at least once; taken the Tigers to the SEC Championship Game; won the SEC title; gone undefeated.


Here is another tidbit:

Over the past 61 years we have had 6 coaches.

5 of the 6 have coached a team that was named national champion in more than 1 polling organization.

4 of the 6 have gone undefeated.

5 of the 6 have fielded the best team in the SEC at least once.

Teams named national champion by a polling organization: 1957&1958 Shug. 1983 Dye. 1993 Bowden. 2004 Tubs. 2010 Chizik.

Basically ever coach except Barfield that AU has had the past 61 years has coached a team named SEC and National Champion (by 1 or more polls). Bowden was not technically an SEC champion as we were on probation in 1993, but he was 11-0.

To add onto that, from the Coaching Changes Board:

Bobby left Arkansas intentionally so that he could open it up for his buddy, Les Miles.

Oh yeah, just for fun...

While 5 of the last 6 Auburn head football coaches have coached a team named national champion by 1 or more polling service, the other team in the state has had 2 of its last 8 coaches that can say the same (yeah, I am including Price ).

That's impressive but say this to other fans and the just blow it off like it was all a fluke. AU can never be good blah blah.

And we haven't had a coach near as good as Petrino or probably Patterson in that time.

quick question, don't want to start a thread here or anything but didn't "Germans" start on Tigerdroppings? I thought it was exclusive to TD also

I ask bc there is a thread on the Bunker entitled

quote:

I'm sure Germans but Ark making huge push for Miles? WTH**


I glanced right over it the first couple times and then said wait a minute....thing is it's 11 replies in and no one has said "why the frick did you say germans?"

Yall think Petrino would keep Trooper,Luper or Thigpen?

I'm guessing he would definitely keep BVG if he wants to stay, thus keeping Martinez in the process.

Thigpen is a helluva recruiter who's been coaching the wrong position until this season. I'd be interested in seeing what he'd do without Chizik's hands running the D

Thigpen is a douchebag who also has been known to inappropriately flirt/text Tigerrettes

We only have room for one guy like that on our sideline (hint he rides motorcycles)

TTs?

Thigpen did a good job coaching LB's at UNC, and is a hell of a recruiter. All this tigerette bs seems forced. If half our staff was fricking bo jacksons daughter we would know it by now.

I don't know why everytime TT gets banned everyone seems to think I am a TT alter.

This tigerette stuff is true and I heard it first hand from multiple people. This isn't some "I heard it from person x who knows person y"

Also, all my buds on the team literally hate Thigpen. Say he is just a douche canoe and is a huge reason why guys like Cass and Kris Frost weren't playing. He chooses favorites not based on talent/ability

BTWz TT hates trooper and luper not Thigpen

I am pretty much the only person who thinks Thigpen and Boulaware should get fired on this board

Dude Kris Frost sucks, Chizik and BVG trump Thigpen on starting Holland.

what is your beef with Boulware?

Our special teams have been top notch under his watch.

Yea, don't understand that one. Boulware has been a solid recruiter and our ST's have been the most consistent bright spot since Chizik got here.
