WEP’s Top 5 Coaching Candidates - Wednesday 11/12/2025:
1. Jeff Brohm -> More likely FL, Penn St
2. John Sumrall -> Potentially a fit
3. Aleksey Golesh -> No word on him in the mix (so a Potential)
4. Tyson Helton -> Air Raid/west coast that can't hit 10 wins & hasn't been scooped up so far...makes you go hmmmm
5. Dabo Swinney -> Put the bottle down
Some fuzz around Dilly being interviewed but can't confirm yet...probably won't know...until it happens...but might be from Tulane...

Spontaneous Coaching Decisions.

When SEC teams go Shopping

has made some good decisions like putting Nix in charge of play calling. There seemed to be more cohesion and a better game plan for the Vanderbilt game than in previous games this season which shows that Durkin can figure out what isn't working and take steps to fix it. Our last 2 coaches didn't seem to be able to do that
got it. Based off of a sample size of one. I expect and Coordinator to be a good recruiter or at least have a couple on his side of the ball.
I disagree with his
quote:as he has a tendency to play soft thus the many 3rd down losses to the opponent. I haven't seen him adjust that much. Of course that could be because the offense didn't hold up.
take steps to fix it

He's a good coach
His record doesn't agree with you.
His last 10+ win season was 2019 before that 2016 with W. Mich.
even in his conference games. so IMO.... Blah coach.
We can & deserve better.
Freeman showing out tonight...

Durkin here. Sumrall has done well at Troy and Tulane but that doesn't mean he can replicate his success in a highly competitive conference with a very tough schedule. I'm not sure about his staff, which he would probably want to bring with him. Can he recruit the talent level needed for the SEC? He seems like a risky hire to me.
I see you said all the negative for Sumrall what are your positives for Durkin? Just asking. I know he is liked by his players & recruits like him. What else makes you think he will be successful?

Man we love to recycle us some coaches
Hate that we do. Or the crowd that says we have to have an Auburn Tie...Just Because...You know the Auburn Tie makes them better for some reason...some of these people would say no to Saban coming in and getting back into shape.
quote:
I do believe however it's much more likely we get Lashlee than Dilly
No thank you. If Lashlee is it then I would rather go to JMU and get Chesney. or USF & Get Golesh. or Tulane & get Sumrall. Not in any particular order.

Blackerby - seems to be clickbait.
My youtube feed is suggesting all of the Locked on Stuff when I search Auburn & it seems that they have run through every name out there like it is going to be the one. Dilly, Franklin, Lashlee, Durkin. The dude is loud as well.

I go for Derrick Nix if his play calling was like Saturday night.
Many better OCs out there that we could get easily enough that have better play calling & much more successful.

Which of these do you prefer and why?
None of the Above...
Blackerby - seems to be clickbait. I tried to listen to him once
The Barn - Another AU fan that has a Mic & Video Cam
War Rapport - Just not that interested. Tried to listen to him one night but didn't last a whole episode.
re: Ashton is a better qb than Jackson

I get that but don't the answers seem pretty clear
Yeah we need better QBs & Playcalling
quote:
Looking at PSUs QBs try and pass, I would give pause to Franklin and his talent evaluation skills.
I really don't care about Pedo U unless they loose. I don't want Franklin. I heard that he is thin skinned. That won't work here.
I am coming around to Golesh, Sumerall type. Worse comes to worse Chesney

Only a 2 WR route. Wtf Nix
yeah should have put Cobb over on the coleman side and delay then go out. Would have at least picked up a 1st down or maybe a TD
