I’m not sure if you’re joking or serious but this sounds entirely BS so I’m hoping you’re joking.

Last news I had heard is…

1A sumrall
1B Durkin
3 Key
4 Dillingham
5 Franklin

Franklin wants the job bad

And it will probably be none of those. I don’t think any leaks are truly gonna come out until Cohen wants them to. Think he’s just putting out some info to people around him to keep the job opening in the coaching sphere

In the scheme of things right now, neither would be a bad hire. We have no idea how either would do so it would be nice if it were just a basic contract for either based highly on performance of the program over a 2-3 year period.


2 years is plenty in todays world to see some improvement. You should not need 4-5 years in todays game



If they suck? We will fire them and Jones will once again sing Rocky Top with me

Durkin and Sumrall are backup plans. I promise you. Neither are top 5.

I don’t know who is Cohen’s top candidates, but I do know he’s going for proven p4: Dilly dilly, Brohm, Key, etc.

I also feel like he’s going to try to make a splash hire. Not sure any will be better than Sumrall, but there are no guarantees either way.

I’d feel great about Dillingham. Brohm, not so much.

Well guess what!

Zac Blackerby by has done a Lincoln Riley to Auburn rumor video.

Tell me he doesn't get his scoops through this board.

I listen to every show, but if they dont quit saying coaches dont or do "fit" Im gonna protest. The ONLY "FIT" for this job is a Winner. Everything else is just fun to talk about.

I think Dilly would be a great hire! He’s got a fire to him that we’ve haven’t seen in the last 3 HC’s. I also feel like his youth and energy would really help in keeping as much of our current roster as possible.

Lincoln Riley to Auburn


I'd be down with that. Would be hella lot easier to recruit QBs if our HC coached Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray

I mean, that rumor didn't start on this board lol.

Lincoln Riley has allegedly been throwing his name out and its not just relating to the Auburn opening. He hasn't been amazing at USC and I don't think that either party (him or USC) is particularly sold on his future at USC.
