Will still pop in on 24/7 AU board from time to time. I dont mind the guy. He gets a lot of unnecessary heat.

He’s a big douche but he is a hard worker and deserving of that new position

He’s a dickhead, the national gig will suit him

ThaiTiger nailed it. Very hard to like in a lot of ways but gotta respect the hustle. He’s earned his keep. I also definitely prefer him to a Phillip Marshall type either way.
Justin Ferguson is prolly my favorite AU guy right now. I liked Hoke back in the day

Hope the writer they replace him with actually likes Auburn. I don’t need a blind homer but they have made some bad hires in the past for writers. The worst was Ryan Black, who was a Georgia homer and a prick to everyone on the site.

I would love to see AUC steal Ferg from The Athletic.

Nah, I have an Athletic subscription, but wouldn't buy an AUC one and I like Ferg.

The nature of this gig makes it impossible to get an ideal guy:
1) Likes/respects Auburn
2) Will be openly harsh as required and give unhedging opinions
3) Doesn't sensationalize/wildly speculate
4) Has sufficient connections
MM/JC obviously fit 1, 3 and 4, but I don't really think the CGM era has left any of our beat guys with truly inside tracks. I assume MM and JC are the most respected, in no small part because they're the most hesitant to go out on limbs without verification.
But that sort of caution kind of undermines the entire purpose of people paying for inside scoops. It's a model that made a lot more sense before Twitter and the like. Once upon a time it wasn't all that easy to get small scoops about how some 18 year old in rural AL felt about Auburn, but that just isn't the case anymore.

I also like Bryan Matthews quite a bit.

I liked Wolk of SEC Country.

I was worried he would become to homerish for UGA after leaving SEC Country but he is still fun to folllow
