True. But we aren't claiming he is ours to lose. The only reason he gave us a chance was because of RN. He obviously has been looking around and the only people who think he isn't are Auburn people.


He is doing what every recruit should which is ensure that he chose the right school. The only way to do that is go to other schools and compare.

That being said, he loved Auburn for more reasons than the coaching staff. His father is a huge fan of Auburn and the fact that it is an hour and a half from Atlanta. All they are waiting on is the DLine coach.

Until the DLine coach is hired no shite he isn't 100% but he is still ours to lose

While Lawson's visit with Coach Johnson was a positive move in strengthening his commitment to Auburn since the transition, the hire of the new defensive line coach remains critical.

"We're still waiting to see who Carl will be working with directly. They are working on it," Lawson Sr. said. "Coach couldn't really say, but he said they are going after someone good."

"It looks like Jeremy Johnson likes the hire and it's big for the class to have a stud quarterback coming in. The better players the more successful Auburn will be in the future," Lawson Sr. said.

Schools continue to call and attempt to schedule visits, but Lawson Sr. maintains they have decided not to complicated the process more than it already is.

"Carl is tired and just wants to focus on Auburn, and a few others. We aren't entertaining all these other schools trying to get in the picture," Lawson Sr. said.

"Carl felt like the best overall fit was Auburn. The school, the town, the people, that's why he committed. When the coaching staff changed, there was other stuff he liked about Auburn."


Eh, I still like our chances if we can get Rocker.

No doubt in my mind he is referring to us when he says "a few others".

Why would Rocker leave the NFL to come back and coach the DL? Wouldnt that be a downward move?

Word is that Titans coaches will be looking for jobs after the season is over.

Not trying to argue your point but a coach in his first year with a 2nd year QB probably gets a pass. I could be wrong though.

maybe, but it's not like we're just pissing in the wind by throwing his name out there based on circumstances(alma mater, previously coached with the HC, and uncertainty in his job).

True. Is there a plan B? Is Mahlzahn going to have to wait 2 weeks to talk to Rocker?

I believe they've already talked. These pay sites believe that they're probably waiting for the NFL season to be over before it's announced, but they've been wrong before.

Rocker would be a HUGE get. Guy can just flat out coach DL. Hate when he left Ole Miss.

For our sake I hope you guys dont get him.

No kidding. Our DL play suffered when he left. I hope that's who we end up getting.
