re: Did Duece Knight screw his self?
Posted by BigBlueAU on 2/14/26 at 10:17 am to FearlessFreep
I don't know if we upgraded the coaching staff or just the leadership of the head coach. I would feel better about the USF coaching staff if they had won their conference or at least finished top 2.
That said, I can't say Duece screwed himself. He probably took a big pay cut but he back home and playing behind a QB that's gonna get early Heisman buzz. They'll be a lot of eyes on OM these season. If Duece can grow up, he could take advantage of this opportunity.

Lol for real, I think a lot of people forget (me included, until I watch highlights) how good he was in 2013.
I knew Tre had the potential to be great when he put up 1000 yards in that craptastic 2012 offense. He got unleashed in 2013.

Crazy to think that so if the QBs in last year's room could start somewhere next year. We'll also get to see how our old P4 talent matches up to our USF talent 27th since of these DB/WR battles. It'll be the battle of who's got the bigger chip on their shoulders.

Yea not worried about WR production next year. Worried about offensive and defensive lines right now
Then you should be worried about WR production. Cause their stats look real bad when the qb can't make it through his progressions before he's on his back.
Auburn should never have been his first head coaching job. I hope he figures it out before this program is back to square one.

from Howard to The SEC? seems like a big jump
Ole Miss has a LB that transferred from Grambling State and was wrecking shop last night. Dude was on the Butkus Award preseason watch list too.

i’m gonna take Golesh’s words at face value til proven otherwise,
I really want to have faith in this coaching staff and take AG at his word. But what do I do with his statements about retaining this roster being a top priority? Or that after meeting with the players individually, they ALL LOVED Auburn and he'd never seen it to that degree before? :dunno: :dunno:
The one good thing from all of this loss is that the 2026 team will be totally HIS team. Win or lose, it's his show completely now. He gets to rebuild the QB room, OL room, WR room, and a lot of the defense. He should have plenty of money to do it with.

At this point Brown would be crazy to come here with no OL to block for him. That would totally tank his draft stock.
Well we don't have any starters left on the OL and this staff apparently believes it can budget shop in the portal. No real answers at QB yet and the defensive depth and best starters are leaving. He's making a business decision and who can blame him.

re: Should we have put the interim tag on Steven Pearl

Yes, the "interim" tag for a year would have done wonders for recruiting.
...........or maybe you hire a guy who is familiar with our program and keep the entire staff that has been the most successful in the history of Auburn basketball?
We are literally watching the flaws of your logic play out in real time with the football team. Keeping Durkin did not retain one of the best defenses Auburn has fielded since 2019. Recruiting is about money now regardless of the coach.

AGAIN........what established HC is going to leave the day before practice starts?
Then as the OP suggested, he should have been made interim so a legit search could be conducted at the end of the session.

Why are you acting like if a search was done that the exact same results wasn’t going to happen.
That wasn't the topic of this discussion now was it? I like Steven and want him to succeed. That doesn't change the fact that he didn't deserve to be our HC. Funny how people have so much gusto for holding players accountable based on production but are fine hiring a guy with zero experience as a HC.

That's what a coaching search is for. This cant be your justification for making this hire.
quote:
In what way does hiring a white guy qualify?
Are you unfamiliar with the Fox News definition of DEI? Hiring an otherwise unqualified person based on factors outside of merit. Meaning they Didn't Earn It (DEI). White guys can definitely qualify.
We should have had a real coaching search instead of making a DEI hire because regardless how good Steven may be in the future, he didn't earn it. We also should have paid CMB instead of thinking we could get better value at his position through the portal.
The roster is a major problem since we don't have the size down low. But that's why you spend the money on the front end so you're not spending it to fire a coach on the back end. But si that's in the past. We got what we got. This is going to be a season of growth all around.

Feel like what I'm seeing with the basketball team is what's happening to the football team.. Don't pay for good players and you will get the results that come with it.
Before the season, I thought the bball team was headed to the NIT because they were too small down low. Now I hope they at least get to the NIT. They should have kept CMB who is on a tear out West right now (21.5pts 5.4 rebs, 3.1 ast) and they should have paid up for true post players we were in on. But it's not just talent it's chemistry that you lose when rebuilding through the portal. The football team is trending toward making the same mistake.
