That is not a bad idea at all. Lindsey is a bit green at coaching OC at this level and having Borges on hand for advice (or to step in if Lindsey falls apart completely) is a smart move for Auburn.

For those that don't know Al Borges:

quote:

Borges joined the Auburn staff in 2004. Auburn went 41-9 in the four seasons Borges was the offensive coordinator. Auburn was the only Southeastern Conference (SEC) team to finish ranked in the top 15 each of those seasons.[2] Borges is credited with much of the success of the 2004 Auburn Tigers football team which recorded a perfect 13-0 season under his "Gulf Coast Offense" scheme. Borges resigned from Auburn December 10, 2007, after a steady decline in the team's offensive production, before the team's appearance in the New Year's Eve Chick-fil-A Bowl.[8]


Interesting tidbit from a few years ago:

quote:

Never did he imagine wanting to live in Alabama, but after four years at Auburn, he'd jump at the chance to live in the state again, he said.

Gorgeous Borges back on the Plains.

Gus is so stubborn and anal, he must be on a high dosage of Prozac if he's letting all these guys tinker around under the hood of his Bus. lol:

I thought Auburn people credited the defense for that run of success? Those defenses from 04-07 were outstanding

He's a really nice guy and has a good understanding of the west coast offense. Borges used the TE and FB extensively.

I like the hire. Having a more mature coach around will help Lindsey. Al never recruited much so being an analyst is probably the sweet spot for him.

If the 10th assistant coach rule gets passed this month, he may actually end up as an on-field coach. Interesting hire...

Great guy and a great hire! One of my friends played and started under that OC rotation and swears he was the best!
