Nope. Not at all. The rumor that I was told is unconfirmed. Is it true?, who knows and that is why I won't post anything like that. Did you not see all of that garbage that was posted last week on the Rant? I have no inside sources. If I did I would not post them on here. I'll just leave that to all of those pay site gurus that get everything right all of the time.
I guess I just wanted to take a dig at those that posted all of those rumors so many times over the last week.

Folks will melt over Applewhite but he's worked under some good coaches and has a lot of experience. His offensive scheme would complement Harsin will, I think. He'd be a Schmedding type of hire IMO. Not flashy but he'll know what Harsin wants to do.


But so he give the ball to Tank on 4th and 1 when Tank?? Regardless at this point, I'd take Applewhite as an absolute win and not look back.

Locked on Auburn. It’s a daily podcast. I really enjoy it.

Will we ever really know why Austin Davis came and went?

Hopefully not. The rumors are that this was not Hars. Good luck to AD.

What is Applewhite’s track record on QB development? I didn’t remember him being a head coach. I know it was speculated that Harsin would move to play calling for this year, but if he got Major, who he has worked with before, would he let him run everything?

That's fine. I know nothing about Fuente's coaching prowess and scouting up a game plan.

I did rails with Davis on his way out of town back to the 'Sip. Seems to have that part of his life together.

From Jay G Tate so take with a grain of salt.

Three primary candidates (in order of how I see this playing out): 1. Major Applewhite — former head coach at Houston, twice an assistant at Alabama, current OC at South Ala. *Applewhite served with/alongside Harsin at Texas in 2011 and '12 2. Justin Fuente — former head coach at Virginia Tech and Memphis. 3. Brian Schottenheimer — QB coach with the Jacksonville Jags, former OC with several NFL teams and UGA (2015)

Sheesh. What about Ensminger? Is Ernie Zampezie still alive?

I see My Jags hired Petrino today as an Offensive analyst. Could it mean Applewhite is coming to AU?

Could’ve had JGT’s names to you hours ago. I thought we were done with paysites?
