2020 Auburn, hold my beer.

Power brokers demanding that Steele and Rodney Garner stay. We’ve gotten turned down by Napier and now Bill Clark today.

So, you want to hire someone that you're going to ultimately hold accountable for wins and losses, yet you're not going to fully let him do whatever he thinks is necessary to accomplish said task?

Most coaches be:

We’re going to end up with Kevin Steele and the fanbase will riot. I don’t see another option.

Many forget this; we were turned down by Rich Rodriguez...fans were in despair. Mal Moore saved face and Alabama's football fortunes when he signed Saban.

It's bad when UAB's coach won't even take it. Like really, really bad.

Yep, and the whole Mike Price thing fresh in the memory and other issues leading up, but if AU does make the right hire. Then one day they will look back and think of these disappointments and just laugh.

Actually Rita saved Bama football. Rich Rod was headed to Bama but Bama fans scared her.

What was a shut show about that?

Mail Moore wanted Saban, he initially said no.

Rich Rod was the backup and was in the bag until his wife stepped in.

Then Mail Moore took a second shot and convinced him.

Y'all scratched and hit the lottery and got the prom queen.

I think we are about to get chlamydia from the skank we bought with our 2 dollar ticket.

That anniversary just passed didn't it?

We should all send her flowers on every anniversary of their declining the Alabama offer.

I never wanted Rodriguez because of his style of offense (failed miserably at Michigan) and was glad it didn't happen.

I think Finebaum was the one that pissed her off worst with a comment about Camaro hair. He later denied he said it and blamed it on another radio guy.

Better learn to give a coach full control or Auburn won’t get anyone worth a shite

Didn’t Tony Kurry call her monkey face or something of that sort?
