I mean this is all great to talk about but it seems rarely do boosters just throw that much money around even if they can afford it.
Um. So how did your school go about getting your coach?

No one has ever explained why he would leave Oregon for Auburn. It’s a lateral move at best and he has a top 5 class coming in.

I think the only candidate that truly strikes fear into the hearts of Auburn's foes is Kevin Steele.
I think many Auburn fans would join in with you on a frick Auburn.

3. Billy Napier
Has turned Louisiana into a Top 20 team this year.
There is no school named "Louisiana" or "University of Louisiana" in existence.
Napier is a pure miracle worker to elevate the Ramblin Acadians into a Top 20 program.
Auburn, yall need to grab this guy while you can......

Like most school but a single booster didn't put up over 30M, even though we have quite a few that could easily afford that. That wasn't during this covid situation either.

Replace Lane Kiffin with Matt Campbell and I think you have a realistic list.
I don't know why more Auburn people aren't talking about Campbell than Cristobal. He's won a helluva lot more consistently.

Not sure who down voted, but please explain why you think Cristobal would leave Oregon with his advantages in facilities, Nike money, a PAC schedule and less demanding expectations for a CFP appearance every year.
Yes, Oregon has Nike money. But Auburn is flush with wealthy boosters. They aren't as well known as Phil Knight, but Jimmy Rane, Tim Cook, and Raymond Harbert are all billionaires... plus you have the Lowders among others.
All of the positives you mentioned above which center around playing in the PAC 12 are also big negatives:
1. Small stadiums
2. Little to no fan support relative to the SEC
3. No on watches the games on TV
Not to mention, Cristobal is from Miami. Does he really want to live in the Pacific Northwest?
I don't know if Auburn is the right fit for him, but it seems natural for Cristobal to continue to get interest to come back to the SEC as long as he's winning at Oregon.

Or, why you think Kiffin would leave a program he can stay at indefinitely with 8-9 wins a year and beating MSU 2 out of every 3 years indefinitely.
Because Kiffin wants to be a big time coach. I think if he wasn't interested in the Auburn job, its more likely that he is holding out to take the Bama job once Saban retires. But Kiffin has tasted too many big moments to be content with staying in Oxford and settling for "2 out of 3 wins" in the Egg Bowl. No way he's content with that.

Competitors want to try their hand at the highest level and on the biggest stage. The SEC > Pac 12

Ok, this is silly. Oregon is a very nice up and comer in the college football world thanks to Phil Knight and Nike, but a job at Auburn is not a "lateral move". Oregon has never won a National Title. Auburn is 13th in the all-time AP Poll standings while Oregon is #30.
Oregon was #34 last year in Average Attendance at just 56,000 fans/game.

I didn't downvote, but this can't be a serious question. He's only making $2.6 million at Oregon. Auburn will more than double that. PLUS he'll have regional access to FAR better football players in Auburn. Hell, he still has recruiting connections all across south Florida. He'll get those kids to Auburn. He'd never get more than a couple all the way out to Oregon.
