I would love to just offer Gary Patterson the house and be done with it. However I think the perception of AU by stronger coaches is a place that you have to give up your autonomy to a point. I personally think this is how we ended up with Chizik and Gus. ( Jay Jacobs as AD didnt help either but see my previous point.) Unless that changes we will be looking at someone like Montgomery or Bobo type coaches.

Gary Patterson is a great coach, but he'd fail at Auburn at this stage in his career.
His success right now is thanks to their offense + culture/support/ TX connections Patterson has cultivated over the years. He won't have that at AU and will make it near impossible for a near 60yr old guy to win
Patterson is a defensive minded coach. I don't expect that offense to migrate over to the SEC with Patterson if he were to come. That would be like Texas Tech hiring Gus and expecting him to bring the 2017 AU quality defense
