re: Auburn DC Derek Mason a “strong candidate” for Okie State DC vacancy…

I agree, I don't see it happening either. Especially some of the guys returning Mason probably had a big hand in doing.

I just don’t see this one happening at all.

If it is happening we are pretty fricked.

It is not even a lateral move, unless somehow those guys start paying a lot more.

Sigh. If this team was not named Auburn, we would say it is on the verge of becoming a dumpster fire.

I hope things get turned around, but none of the recent trends look good.

We lost a legacy, starting qb to the portal.
We fired a position coach during the season.
Recruiting stalled, while we have some good ones, can anyone point to a single blue chip guy this year?
We went on a terrible losing streak including multiple second half collapses.
Our portal approach failed to really bring in any big time guys, especially in areas we need.

Firing our OC and then losing our DC in a new coach's first year would pretty much leave me with zero confidence about the head coach.
