Coach Categories

Honestly I would put no one in the 1 category just because there are so many things that can factor in. There are no perfect coaches.

There are probably 15-20 coaches that fall in number 2 but would they leave their current job. Most probably not.

The 3rd category would be someone like Jeff Grimes, Kyle Wittingham, etc.

From the 2nd category there are probably 4 that would be on our list. DJ Durkin promotion, Drink, summerall, lashlee.

1. Dan Lanning, Ryan Day
2. Cignetti
3. Dillingham
4. Dan Mullen, Billy Napier, Bill Clark

You have some seriously weird dreams.

To answer the OP, I don't know but I expect the next highly sought after coach (not necessarily Auburn's) will be someone we've never heard of. We all regurgitate the same names but every year, a new name does really good things and becomes the new, highly sought after coach. We need smart people to find the guys. Unfortunately, we don't have smart people these days.

1. Dan Lanning
2. Jon Sumrall
3. Rhett Lashlee
4. DJ Durkin

1. Lanning
2. Lebby
3. Durkin (Wish he would get the rest of the year)
4. Dabo

1. Top tier coach- the coach you can only dream about for Auburn.

Kirby.

And we could have had him from what I've heard some say. They just couldnt/wouldn't accept the idea of him finishing out the season at Bama and simultaneously being the AU head coach.

And Caddillac is the answer?

There is zero indication that there is even a single NCAA program of any relevance that has any interest in Cadillac Williams as a coach. He was coaching in HS at IMG Academy in 2017, then was coaching in the freaking AAF in 2018, and then he was gifted the Auburn RB job in 2019 because of his history with the school (despite having zero resume). He hasn't held a single job at any other NCAA school of relevance despite being 43 years old.

After he stepped down at Auburn, there was no smaller school that wanted him as the HC or even as the OC (which shouldn't be surprising, but we had all sorts of silly fans that thought he should get a chance at being the OC for some inexplicable reason). He then took a job with the Raiders as the RB coach, but was fired within a year this past February, and since then I can't see any indication of him coaching anywhere. Sure, its likely too late to get another NCAA gig at that point, but what interest does he have right now?

Guys - the University of South Alabama wouldn't hire Cadillac as their HC if the job opened up tomorrow. When Freeze inevitably gets canned, please for the love of god do not start an internet campaign to anoint Cadillac Williams as the next HC.
