Don’t forget the Washington game. Wish he could have made either of those more often.

Sherwood had 5 total tackles and a forced fumble in the HOF game. Hoping he and Lawson getting some Hard Knocks airtime because neither of them sound like what I expected.
Robbie had a big run, even without being live, and a scramble with a deep ball to the back corner from about 30 out. Battie got loose a lot going off the edge, which could be a bad sign that we can’t set the edge on a 5’5” rb, but I’ll take it for now. Went into the scrimmage doubting Alston but his big run made me question it. He had one man to beat running by his side at about the 25 and managed to get in front of him and cross the goal line standing up. Came in pessimistic on all three and left with some cautious optimism.

Receivers are really big. Most of Thorne’s throws were highly contested, which could be a good sign defensively. Jackson had some good short runs where he turned nothing into 4-6 yds.

Admittedly, I didn’t pay attention the whole time and I got sick of checking the roster on my phone quickly, so I probably missed a lot.

Had my doubts prior, but that’s when I KNEW Harsin wasn’t going to cut it. You’d have thought they got Clay Matthews when he committed the way they touted him, but I remember seeing some bag drills of him and thinking he’d be better off at Huntington.

Since he was blind in his right eye


Not only blind, but had a fake eye - leading to a story my dad (student trainer) always told.

Hub would have different trainers travel to the games and they’d share a hotel room. He’d get a good laugh with each rookie as he’d get ready for bed, put his keys and wallet on the night stand, then pop his prosthetic out and say “I like to keep an eye on my money” as his roommate stared at him in shock.

The Auburn Family and the world as a whole lost a great one. RIP.
From personal experience, yes. The worst guy possible to lead our program. Did absolutely nothing but sit in the high castle and yell down at people to do things his way, despite everyone around him - sans his guys - knowing better. Tried to lead off fear with nothing to back it up but working out in front of people and screaming at people.

Got in to yelling matches with proven trainers, recruiting staff, analysts, position coaches, and coordinators amongst others. We see how that worked out for him.

That’s all I have to contribute to this thread. Carry on.

UNLESS, the rumors are true that Bama players have an entitlement problem. They are not like the early teams, the hungry ones.


If that’s the case Steele’s the man for the job. Speaking from being in a Steele meeting or two, guys want to play for him. He teaches the same “Do Your Job” team defense that Saban and Muschamp do. You have to work as a team to be effective. Everyone is accountable.

Looks like a big group

They are two of the most redneck coaches in the business. Truly a perfect fit for each other.

Cam was kicked off a team where he’d sit behind Tebow for years and was the #1 Juco prospect. Lil different.

Didn't he have surgery in the off season to one of his legs?


Another casualty to the Harsin Era. Tore his ACL on one of the worst onsides attempts in history.

Nice dude. Horrible professional.

What he did after that….who knows


Pretty sure he had a TD in the FSU game as well. (Nvm on that one) He definitely won us the game vs MSU in 2013 with like 5 receptions on the final drive. (That point still stands.)

We definitely went the cheap route but Marcus is an incredibly hard worker and I think it will pay off. Malzahn and Dillingham both thought very highly of him. Very smart and professional and relates to players well.
Congrats, Hogs. Dude is a high energy recruiter that relates to players and runs the Saban/Smart/Steele/Muschamp defense. He’ll do well.

Why would the WR coach need to stay until after UCF's Bowl game?


Maybe he knew Chip was heading out and he could get credit for being “interim OC” if UCF performs well.

Sounds like a recipe for Kodi Burns, UCF OC.

What is really the difference as far as the on campus experience? With an OV Auburn pays their travel etc, UOV they pay it?


OV is a whole planned out weekend. Arrive Friday afternoon, dinner at a restaurant on AU’s dime, stay at AU hotel. Saturday full of tours/presentations with lunch in the middle, maybe an activity depending on the kid (like bowling), dinner in the Broadway Club of the stadium. Sunday is coaches meetings and lunch at the complex or a to go box depending on flight/departure time.

UOV’s are drive down on your own dime, usually a cramming all the meetings and tours into 6-8 hours, then depart for home. All meals paid for by the kid. They can pay something like $30 for lodging to stay on a current athlete’s couch.

If you come in more than 2 UOV’s, you’ve seen everything and are just bonding.
