Good gosh..
Any other big names besides Urban Meyer (would not want) that could be locked up without concern for the playoffs? I thought Sean McVay, but the Rams are doing well.

That said- is Drinkwitz at Missouri someone that is in the mix? His name seems to have popped up here and there.
He is not in contention.
The populace has determined and is accepting of the fact that his "success" is simply from good fortune in that he hired a pretty decent offensive coordinator. Not much else there.
There is zero evidence to suggest that anything other than amassing pure talent is by far and away the key driver to winning a national championship.
With the on the field / off the field fit stuff - Quinshon Judkins says hi.
Don't let an Indiana playoff appearance as 1 of 12 teams with a weak schedule fool you.

I'm only about 10 years older than Zac, but I definitely feel like we are a full generation apart. His jokes to me seem sophomoric, and to be someone who grew up in Lee County, he only seems to have true recollection of about the last 10 years of Auburn football history.

Gold.
Pretty much describes youtube for me.
I think the "locked on" guys are required to do something everyday, so that is stupid.

LSU is poor! Go find the details on this - very interesting.
Kelly could end up winning a lawsuit and never see a dime because he would have to go through legislative procedures in the state (that is of course the state already owes much money to other entities and Kelly would be way down the list).

I bet Brohm is gonna cost alot. Louisville has no problem spending money on football and won't just let him walk.
Just to note Brohm turned down Louisville after his first year at Purdue.
Doesn't seem like he is totally all about the money.
I'm sure UL will offer a lot and it seems his family really loves Louisville (obviously so does Brohm.
But I can easily see him saying now or never to compete at the highest level against UA and UGA.
Makes all the sense in the world to Cohen's first choice.
I don't subscribe, but all the pay guys are pretty decent and fun. I think they are over pretending to have inside info.
I would like to point out that Cole Pinkston is head and shoulders above the rest as far as providing insight and analysis.
He should start his own site.

The real question is whether Durkin would be enthusiastic about getting passed over for the HC role.
With any kind of raise (recognition), I believe the odds would be very good that he stays.
Right now, obviously, he's not a candidate for any big time head coaching job.
From all accounts, he really likes Auburn.
If Auburn starts winning, he will definitely get more exposure that could lead to a big head coaching job.
Additionally, staying would lead to great connections on the offensive side of the ball.
Importance of geographic location for recruiting has been diminished.
Coaches know how great the environment at Jordan-Hare is as they saw Malzahn's patch work offenses beat Saban.
Baton Rogue is a terrible place to live.
Florida might as well be an ivy league school now, and as such the enthusiasm for football, among certain groups, has lessened over 1980 -2010.

Not hiring a guy because he made the playoffs is what got us Gus instead of bowl cut.
Yes, I optimistic Cohen won't be so foolish. Hopefully Cohen has an agreement and and an extra $2MM to give Durkin! I can dream.

I’m sure Cohen is giddy to talk baseball as well with Brohm since he was also drafted into MLB
Nice good point.
Just to lay it all out...
Louisville has 1 loss with Cal and Clemson at home, SMU on the road, then Kentucky.
Hopefully just 1 more loss (at SMU) to be assured of avoiding the playoffs.
We won't hold this loss against Brohm.
Makes $5.6MM a year at Louisville.
Hopefully we can have the party that we didn't get to have at the end of 2003!
The hire would be oh so nice! The QB IQ associated with this regime could potentially blow up the the town of Auburn.

hat’d be like suggesting to hire Bobo.
LOL... the guy coordinated an SEC championship offense and just outdueled Lane Kiffen.
But sure a defensive guy who just gave up 40 pts to North Texas St is Grrreat (I really don't think this makes a difference, but you can criticize anything).
Hate to break it but Auburn doesn't need perfection.. just some proven performance, technical expertise, connections, and all out effort.
quote:
just hire an elite recruiter as the HC and then find the best OC and best DC and theoretically you will be elite. That sounds easy and logical, but it rarely works that way.
Uh.. That's the only way it works.
LSU - Ogeron, Brady, Aranda
UF - Meyer, Mullen, Strong
UA - Saban, Kiffen & Sark
Spurrier - only over the top with Stoops
the LSU situation says it all
That was about as compartmentalized as you can get as they dominated on the way to a national championship.
It really is that doable for Auburn - especially since we for sure don't have to play second fiddle in recruiting.
Of course these days you should hire someone with demonstrated elite offensive or defensive performance (as opposed to "this guy is tough, he is a leader, blah, blah blah)
quote:
hen you just took him away from the role that made the only good part of the team good in the first place.
No, you are betting (that is all) that at least one side of the ball will be taken care of for good. You are betting that he will always at least have heavy influence over the defense. Doesn't mean that will happen, but assumptions have to made in every scenario. You are asking what is likely to happen.
OK, Elko's head coaching at Duke took complete precedence over his work at A&M. OK.
quote:
I don’t get the Schumann love. He’s not Lanning or Muschamp
Don't hire Kirby, it's Saban's defense.
Don't hire Lanning, it's Kirby's defense.
At some point when look at Kirby, Lanning, and Cignetti you have to think you have some pretty good odds.
I don't thing most people would look at Jeremy Pruitt in the same way, as he was just stupid - in a non football sense.
quote:
Why did they hire Elko away from mighty Duke football instead?
Because he was a lot more than Duke.
He was a previous coordinator at A&M who had great success, similar to what Durkin is doing now.
No brainer for Elko because of previous success experience at A&M as a defensive coordinator.
This program is so dead if we hire Jimmy and Larry Blakeney's Troy boy over Durkin or Glenn Schumann. Do you not see Dan Lanning and Kirby Smart - Helloooooo!!!!!

Yeah for DC. Ohio State wouldn’t ever think about hiring him for HC, which is what we’re discussing here.
Given the same situation as Auburn, of course they would.
Look at Ryan Day.
