While the urge to kick Auburn while they are down is always strong the truth is Bryant picked Missouri over Auburn for the same reason he picked Missouri over Arkansas.
Auburn and Arkansas (and I suspect most of the schools on his transfer list) are missing more then just a QB to have a quality offense. Mizzou has everything in place, seemingly, but a QB.
Bryant has a year left to play. A team going through a rebuild of its offense isn't where he'd want to land. Arkansas, for example, has a ton of WR and TE talent coming in next year. Which does him no good because it will take most of the season, at least, for them to get up to game speed.
He can walk into the Missouri job and have a functional offense from day one. Not to mention Missouri's schedule is back loaded so he can put up monster numbers at the beginning of the year to get the attention of pro scouts.

Plus for all the grief Derek Dooley gets for being a failure in Tennessee, he time with the Dallas Cowboys prepared him for his job as Missouri OC. Drew Lock openly admits Dooley helped him make strides this year to possibly become a Top 10 pick.
So even if there were Auburn bagmen it's small potatoes compared to an NFL contract.

Those early numbers would only mean the scouts would want to see, at the combine, if he is better than his overall record indicates.

After all these rants, what the Hog says here is the bottom line truth. Thanks for bringing "reason" to this thread.
