Auburn needs to throw the bank at a top notch coach..
Auburn football is a household name..
With that being said, go after a big name coach to see if they can turn the program around and make it into what football is. In the long run a big time coach will be able to see the problem, fix it, and leave a blueprint for future coaches.. Frick up and comers we dont need that.. Go after Butlers coach, creighton, st johns, marquette..

I don't think a coach's salary is the limiting factor in hiring a good coach. Our program is shite, we do not have a good recruiting base and our fanbase is passive at best. Our students show out but rarely.

I don't know everything about CBB but I do know that all those coaches you suggested are in better positions than AU at more prestigious BBall schools.

Butler's coach has been highly sought after by everyone (way better than AU) and he hasn't left/ the school is passionate and die hard about their basketball right now and he loves it.

St Johns and Marquette are in the Big East. That is the SEC of basketball and they are holding their own. Why would they leave to come to AU?

Creighton is a basketball school and their coach ain't leaving.

Look, we are going to have to take a chance on some up and comer who has had moderate success. Tony Barbee was a way hotter commodity than we should have been able to hire and the guy has failed. What coach wasn't to go to a place that is a career killer, doesn't care about BBall unless football is losing that doesn't have good recruiting?

You really don't know how this works, do you?

NONE of those guys would ever dream of leaving Auburn.

Auburn always gets up and coming coaches from the mid majors.

Best realistic coach hire would be Prohm from Murray State.

Best fantasy hire would be Brad Stevens, I guess...

That's too funny. I hope you don't actually believe Auburn could pull that off with little basketball history and only a brand-new arena to draw kids in.
