Your OP title asked “coaches that bombed as AD”. I definitely would not say he bombed by any means. Your point on baseball and football NC’s is understood and I agree to an extent but the lack of those does not define his career. He certainly wasn’t perfect though. But who is?

As for the lawsuit, he lost it in the original case and in the appeal. But, yeah, the AD that made him the first black coach at a predominantly white Southern university was racist. Tempers flared, he was angry, and at the time he saw it how he saw it. Can’t blame him for all he put up with as a young man.

Just based on results, it looks like Broyles was a better coach than AD.

Not sure what results you’re referring to here…

-43 NC’s
-57 SWC titles
-47 SEC titles
-Spearheaded our move to the SEC which, regardless of how the last decade plus has went in football, was a genius move.
-Made many elite coaching hires across multiple sports
-Spearheaded the modernization of our sports facilities including raising the money to do so.
- among other notable accomplishments

55% returning on our defense is about 45% too much.

Last I checked, winning 2 out of 3 is a series win.

Auburn is 12th in the country as far as additions on 247. We're 26th. Even on on3 their average transfer grade they've gained is higher than ours by a good margin.

I don't think the rankings are the be all, end all they may have once been, especially in the age of legal pay to play where we've already seen lots of mercenary players not living up to their rankings. Couple this with players dropping and/or rising in the rankings based off of where they commit to ( especially HS recruits) and rankings lose some of their importance.

Debating the validity of the ratings is fair, but I think we're throwing stones in a glass house by saying Auburn is fricked for signing guys from USF while our class is full of guys from programs like Howard, Ouchita Baptist, Memphis, Ohio, Middle Tennessee, Angelo State, ULL, Tulane, Georgia State, etc.

I think a lot of people don't understand the On3 rankings. Their own explanation says it's not a ranking of team vs team but rather a ranking of how much a team has improved their overall roster compared to the previous season.

"score to measure a team’s production during the transfer process, compared relative against its roster and not a comparison against other schools. This proprietary algorithm determines if a school has improved its overall team talent, stayed the same, or declined in talent during the transfer window."
