I get why Auburn is taking its time

That magical moment when your old coach is gone and before the new one is hired anything is possible. Your program could pull off that splash hire and poach from a rival, or poach a national championship winning coach, or grab the hottest up and comer in G5 football.
Until the hire is made the koolaid can flow. But once you actually hire someone you have to accept the process didn’t go as you hoped.
So why not stretch it out for a while if your plan B (who was maybe plan A) isn’t going anywhere?

They're not taking their time. They just can't get anyone to say "yes."

It sounds like we are taking our time because we didn't start the actual search until this weekend because a couple of our boosters thought they could slip Kevin Steele by us and nobody would care.

There has been nothing magical about this process. It will take a massive salvage from Allen Green to even get the koolaid out of the box

Auburn is a better program than the likes that would need to hire someone like Steele. That being said, just remember you may very well do worse, especially if Auburn adopts Tennessee's fan-run coaching search model.

Oh, I'm aware at this point.

Any team program that wants to spend 21 million to fire a coach with no person ready to step immediately tells me everything I need to know about this program and why the position isn't filled.

Have you missed the story? They had somebody to step in immediately, but that person is wildly unpopular with the fans (and CFB in general) so they've had to totally change course, all while insisting the above person was retained by the new coach.

I agree!

I beg to differ sir...When you spend 21 one million to fire a guy you shouldn't care what anyone thinks. Make your bed and sleep in it. That's what Tennessee should have done with Schiano. Now Auburn and Chernobyl have some in common..both are radioactive.

You should when it's not a viable SEC HC candidate.

They have and now they are probably going to be shelling out a lot more $ than they planned to by retaining Steele.

Is Kevin Steele a 21+ Million Head Coach? We know the answer to that.
Auburn is turning into Florida State by letting the lunatics run the asylum. To many millionaires thinking that having money makes you an expert. These "chiefs" want a yes man.

Absolutely.
But this isn't a new problem at Auburn.

What’s crazy to me is $21 million could do so much to improve Auburn facilities.

I've said this repeatedly, fire Gus if something better comes along, but one bad hire and we become the Tennessee of the last 15 years.
