Recruits and players seem to love Trooper....seems like a so-so coach as well. Luper has always seemed a little sketchy to me

TT is the energy of the staff. Auburn lacked that energy when Muschamp left for TX. Luper is the calm member of the staff, they both recruit very well and balance out each other.

It seems that Trooper turns off some folks and has been involved with shady dealings since his days at Tulane.
Does this concern you?

I don't know but whatever shady things they did or didn't do before they got to au they stopped doing the minute they became a member of the family.

But the comments from the families of Latimore and the kid in Thibodaux...does that not concern anyone?

If he is truly doing shady stuff I will be worried. I am not privy enough about coaching staffs and recruitment to weigh in on this though.

This is pretty spot on. I see Luper about 1 every month or so at my job and he's always really nice and somewhat quiet.

He's flashy, likes the attention, has a big personality. Not everyone is going to be head-over-heels for the guy. He's made some mistakes but nothing too serious (at least at Auburn). I don't lose sleep over him

Written by the same haters that can not get over the Cam deal. These are the writers who have egg over their face because Cam was still playing. I predict these writers a losing face with their bosses.

I think you wont get any Auburn fan to say that TT embarrasses the university and the fan base. They will just keep quiet and ignore the point.
What you have to do is ask yourself if TT embarrasses the rest of the SEC. That's the answer you're looking for.

Say what you want about the writer and his motives, but the quotes are what they are.

Don't let the other fans (aka haters) on here try to convince you that Trooper and Luper are bad people.
LSU fans are trying to bring Troop down because we actually have somebody that can recruit the state of Louisiana now and we've plucked some of their best players from the state. LSU fans can't stand it, so they make up the convenient excuse that Trooper has to be paying these guys. Oh, and because he's black, wears a backwards hat and waves a towel around to get the crowd pumped, he's automatically a thug.

These two guys are some of the best in the country at what they do, and anybody who says they wouldn't take them on their staff is lying. That, or you just don't want a good coaching staff for some reason.
But don't let these tools persuade you to believe that these guys are something that they're not. When you have success, especially in their own backyard, you're gonna get the haters that show their true colors. It's all part of the process.
WDE!

Anyone with any sense and knowledge of his actions at prior jobs has to admit that having Trooper on their staff would make them at least a little nervous. I don't really know much about Luper, but I have heard he employs the practice of negatively recruiting against other schools while promising recruits the world if they come to his.

They are still looking up to Big Brother and using their quotes. You are the 2010 BCS Champs (* pending) and all you can do is think about "haters" and what they think of your program.
