We'll have Dabo all but signed and then he'll back out at the last second.

Nah

I actually think Cohen and Co. has been working the phones

Cohen no longer showing up in pressers and Alston leaving are true harbingers

Maybe not Sumrall but his guys on his list. Hope he gets a good one.

Why would you want a coach that has no interest in working the portal or the NIL? Dabo was good when he had those great quarterbacks and was able to stack some players but now he sucks monkey balls. The game changed and he did not follow.

All this and more. Secondly, his thin skin is cracking under the heat at Clemson. He would completely fall apart here.

Try someone young and hungry at this point. We have tons of talent and cannot even make it to bowl eligibility. I don't think it can get any worse but I also don't think Dabo could do much at AU.

So you actually propose abandoning Durkin (who wants to be in Auburn) and going into complete rebuild mode?

If Sumerall is the best we can do, I'm hoping we win out, keep Freeze for another season. Our recruiting will take a massive hit and we are starting all over with an unproven at this level. I'm not defending Freeze, just being pragmatic. We are on the edge of going down Tennessee's 20 years of wondering around in the desert. Starting next season with someone like Sunbelt Billy at the helm is exactly where we will be if Freeze is fired. Too many big time programs are hunting for their next coach, plus we lose Durkin and the defensive staff he put together. Let this sink in, as bad as this season seems, we are a QB away from being undefeated. A competent QB and an a real OC that runs HIS offense, and call HIS plays.

We are already about 5 years into this. This talking point needs to die.

So you want to continue to follow that example and fire a coach every 2-3 years? The big screw up was the Harsin hire. That's the undisputed reason why we are where we are at, right now. Did Harsin need to be fired? ABSOLUTELY! But the mistake was the hire. That's how we ended up with Freeze. Bad hire, then a public investigation and innuendo concentering an admin staffer made him sympathetic. All that was, was the administration seeing just how bad they screwed up with that hire, and looking for a cause to fire him without paying out the contract. That sent reverberations throughout the coaching circles, and our best option was a rehab coach from Liberty.

A whole bunch of really dumb decisions have been made for a long time. We shouldn't cut off our nose, just to spite our face.

We aren't a QB away from being undefeated.

We are a HC who can coach and set a QB up for success away from being undefeated.

take away two meaningless wins over Bama a decade ago, and would any P4 school consider hiring Freezus right now?
