Do we typically fly somewhere 4 days before the game?

A friend who is truly an insider told me that a plane with Lowder and Tim Jackson on board took off Saturday and landed in Spokane.
They rented a car so their movements cannot be traced. If you connect the dots, the picture comes into focus. I’m not going to reveal the name, but it’s going to cause quite the stir when Auburn makes the hire.
We hired Harsin Dec 22, so 5 days later.
Which is why I wish he would give us a hint like this now.
ETA - okay now that I think about it, why wouldn’t they have flown into Boise’a airport? Makers could have just been throwing ish against the wall but he was closer than anyone with this off the wall hire so I consider him as credible as anyone here.

wtf
seems bogus. Fleck trying to get a raise maybe?
he has been okay there, not bad, but doesn’t seem like an exciting hire. No SEC experience whatsoever and kind of an 8-9 win ceiling it seems. I would much prefer the other names we’ve seen floated.

And don’t forget the most important fact - he played for Pat Dye. :eyeroll:
C’mon man, give me a break. If he’s such a great HC why is he just now getting his first gig at 58 years old? Why aren’t other teams beating down his door to hire him as their HC?
We can do so much better than hiring a first time head coach away from Jax State.

Imagine being under that much pressure and saying Dilly is your guy lol.
Yeah I think his job security is tied to this and I think he knows this. So I’m hoping he swings for the fences. At least try!!

Brother he said no because of his daughter. She is graduating now.

Makes sense, thanks!
I guess it doesn’t completely answer my question though - if we were so close to getting him last time, why are we not going for him again? Have things changed that drastically? He must be truly content at OM.
I’m just imagining a world where we have Kiffin as HC and Durkin as DC. I might cry tears of joy. Yes it’s fantasyland but that’s the point of these boards

Kiffin’s name has been floated for LSU and UF but not ours. Why? He was a shoe-in for the last cycle until his daughter screwed us with a PowerPoint. So what would be different about now? I just can’t imagine he would be radically opposed in just three years time.

This one is up there for the reasons you listed. I know we joke but we have been so close every game - we’ve lost by 7, 6, 10, 7, 7, 7 . That makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Crazy.
I was in school for 2012 and that really was as bad as you can imagine. It was horrendous. It was one of the only seasons I actually stopped watching and I was in school.

re: Give me a good reason to want Sumrall over Brohm…
Posted by kung fu kenny on 11/7/25 at 1:13 pm to jangalang
Imagine Brohm as HC holding on to Durkin as DC.
Longshot for Durkin to stay on, but just imagine. Oh boy.

Nothing wrong with the sunbelt but I hope you understand my point. Billy was great at ULL but under the bright lights in Gainesville he just couldn’t get it together.
Sumrall has the potential to be a program changing hire, or a flop. And honestly I think him (or someone like that) is worth the risk. Retread would be a huge mistake I agree.

Okay guys I will admit when I am wrong.
I forgot about chip lindsey stopping at Troy after Neal brown. And I didn’t consider the portal leaving Tulane decimated after Fritz left, I just knew he left with them on a high note.
My worry with Sumrall is that we end up with Sunbelt Billy 2.0 but I suppose there is really no way to know without actually hiring the guy
