May quit Auburn football temporarily if the morons down there make him HC.

Imagine how much the guy who thought you were actually going to hire Urban Meyer would melt though.

I honestly don’t wish that on you guys. I can’t even imagine the disappointment.

I like to troll on occasion and all, but damn...

I’m gonna guess at one point you were a strong supporter of the Gene Chizik hire. This to shall pass. After going through the Fire Less debacle, I know 1st hand how nerve wracking finding a new coach is. Most coaches available at the time we looked (outside of JFisher - and he’s not worth close to the money he commanded) are absolutely garbage currently at their programs. So good luck and choose wisely.

This is just sheer stupidity on part of auburn. Why in God's name would we pay Gus 21mil to only promote his own assistant and likely keep most of the staff

Kevin Steele was the mastermind of this game btw

2012 Orange Bowl

If yall fire Gus for him, well damn. At least O had recently done well as interim at USC and LSU, what the hell has Steele done that screams HC material? Paying that buyout money to hire him? This can't be true man.

This is the group of boosters that hired Gene Chizik, and you're surprised that they'd fire a coach that beat Saban 3 times, went to a Natty, and won 2/3rds of his games in favor of Kevin Steele? Seriously?

Last time y'all hired a coach with an overall losing record he won you an NC. Maybe the thought is lightning can strike twice?

This is exactly what we were saying in late 2016. No way we just go Orgeron right? The rumors were swirling but no one wanted to believe them because we had fake insiders thinking we had Herman or jumbo. So good luck

New blood is a good thing. You knew you weren’t getting to the promise land with Gus so why not? But you’re absolutely correct - paying out 21M only to hire Steele is a bad idea if that is in fact the case.

You’ll get someone better. Steele is only temporary

To save $9 million and spread the full cost of the buyout over a couple of years. That's literally the only explanation I can think of.
