That was not what the investigation was about, but doesn't matter, that is the perception that has been built. (Perception trumps Truth every time.).

So what names outside of a Lane Kiffin, Hugh Freeze is Auburn going to realistically get? Auburn does not like to go the assistant coach route (See UGA, it worked for them). USCe had a great hire, but he was an assistant. Arkie hired an O-line coach, our fans would go ballistic. Others went the lower school head coaching route. LSU, Bama and TAMU are the only schools that come to mind that hired successful Power 5 Coaches.

Lane F$%$ us for sure, I will pull for every team that plays him. I think we dodged a bullet in some ways. We offered him way more than he is worth.
