Head Coach's staff.


Or HC

But my list even though it’s worth as much as a $2 dollar hooker on half off day

1) I am the odd one who doesn’t have a current (or ever) HC on their list much less #1. My #1 Brian Hartline. A lot of the top coaches (Lanning, Smart, Golish or however you spell his name) were hired as coordinators. Someone is going to take a shot at him soon, and I truly think whoever that is will be immensely pleased.

2) Brohm I loved what he did at Purdue. He took a true freshman Rondel Moore to a freshman All American season.

3) Durkin our players love him. Our defense is awesome. And mainly our players love him. He could retain most of the star players.

4) Jeff Lebby he actually has MSU decent this season. His offense is elite especially where he could get studs

I want no part of Dilly or Sunbelt Billy er I mean Sumrall.

Bill Armstrong


I went to high school with Bill. He was one grade above me. His dad, Jimmy was our high school basketball coach who had formerly played (for a very short time) for the Atlanta Hawks. Basketball has been Bills entire life. He eats, sleeps, and breathes basketball.

I love to see him getting the HC job at McNeese and would be absolutely thrilled to see him parlay that into the LSU job.

LSU has always been my 2nd favorite team. My grandfather went to LSU in the 1930s.

Well if you look into it there was another former player on staff who left around the same time.

That has worked out just phenomenally for North Carolina so far huh?

True. I don’t understand how people can be SO successful in their professional life and make such boneheaded decisions behind the scenes in the AD.

Ha funny /s

Truth is one of those teams is on the best stretch of football in their 100+ years while we are in one of our worst.

Putting the last two seasons Vandy squads with the likes of NMSU and Kentucky is… well… dishonest at best

I don’t disagree with you the freeze has to go. The student section all but guaranteed that last night, but at least be honest with your criticisms.

There is no shame in losing to Vandy the last two seasons. They are playing the best football that school will ever field.

Nearly? What would push you over the edge? 4-5 years straight with a losing record? Oh wait…

I’ve had very little faith in any of our games since October 14, 2017.

Just as gross.

I’d rather take my chances with someone like Brian Hartline than Lindsey or Kelly.

Just win baby!


That’s the idea. It’s something we haven’t done in YEARS at this point. And I’m sorry but a 60 year old who just got his first gig as a HC is not the answer.

Sam Pittman was around 60 when he got his first HC job after working sunder some of the best coaches in the sport. How did that work out for Arkansas?

Most the coaches winning right now are young dudes hired from being coordinators. Smart, Lanning, Day… yeah there are others like Cignetti who came up through the ranks but he has proven himself as a capable HC since 2011. He is the exception not the rule.

Anyone who sees Charles Kelly as our #1 choice and isn’t mortified needs their heads examined.

I have had an Auburn tattoo over my heart for 27 years. I’ve had one in my wrist for almost 20 years. Through all the ups and downs that make up an Auburn fans life…

If we hire Charles Kelly, I will officially be done with Auburn football. I will get the tattoos covered and never again spend a dime on any Auburn products or tickets.

That hire would be worse than tater tot being hired from Samford. At least he had name recognition. Charles Kelly? Maybe if his last name were Dye, Saban, Smart, or Meyer I could get behind the hire as I did with tater tot.

But if Auburn is looking to alienate 85% of their fan base with another JABA hire, perhaps the biggest JABA hire ever, then by all means hire Charles freaking Kelly. ??????

You know I try to be fair to everyone no matter what team they pull for… But your fans, the one who says we are their little brother, you people sure have Auburn living rent free in your heads with all the posts about us.

Make it make sense. I genuinely don’t understand

Kiffin has never made the playoffs.


I know reading comprehension isn’t everyone’s strong suit so let me spell it out.

No where in my post did I say Kiffin turned anyone into a playoff team. In fact the portion you quoted tells just that. I said playoff caliber. He has turned historically bad Ole Miss into a playoff contender. Period point blank. He has life half the top 15 finishes in Ole Miss history.

Saying he is anything other than an elite college coach is simply not reality.
quote:

Drink is doing the same thing at Missouri though


Sure but for far shorter of time. Drink was on the hot seat until he got his footing. He was close to being fired.

But then there’s the fact that Kiffin also coached on some premium staffs and has coached truly elite college athletes who put up video game numbers.

Meanwhile Drink has coached under people like Bryan Harsin and mainly Gus Malzahn.

Don’t get me wrong Drink is a good college coach. Kiffin is elite and has coached elite players at championship levels.
Because he has proven he can take a middle of the road program and turn them into a playoff caliber team.

You know what Ole Miss was before he came.
quote:

They won the national championship what 2 or 3 years ago


Did you get abducted by aliens or something? Maybe been in a decade long coma or something? FSUs last championship was against us in 2013. Well the game was in 2014 but it was the conclusion of the 2013 season. Back when they had ole crab legs as the QB. The final year before the playoffs started.

2-3 years ago? Brother that was over a decade ago
quote:

Who is in worse shape as far as moving forward - UF, Auburn or LSU?


Easy. Us. And it isn’t even close. The money men in Auburn still fully support Freezus and think he should be 5-2 if not for the officials.

Meanwhile Auburn fans see FSU who is still apparently a train wreck and wanting their coach gone, that train wreck has more SEC wins than us.

God it sucks being an Auburn football fan most years. We caught lightning in a bottle in 2010 and 2013 and have been less than decent most other years since then.

Either way here is how I see it. Auburn as a program hasn’t finished a season with less than 4 losses since 2013. We haven’t beaten UGA since 2017. And in our 100+ years of football we have only won 10 games in back to back seasons ONCE and that was in the 80s before expanded schedules.

Please tell me how LSU (lol at even putting them with us) or even Florida are in a worse spot?

a coach that could only get a job at Indiana.


Excuse me what? Perhaps you missed the massive extension and raise he just got?

He got it because Penn State was sniffing around, as well as his name linked to Florida.

Sometimes you just need to put the shovel down and stop digging.
