I think its possible after a couple years Pruitt will change his offense philosophy...I just think right now he wants to run the ball and shorten games because he sees we don't really have the players yet to compete with everybody in the league.

It's a given that Pruitt will never beat Bama using that philosophy. I'm all for having a great defense but I want to score points in buckets. You can't come from behind using his philosophy in todays game.
 
R E L A X. We're in good hands now. They decided to take a step back to reevaluate some things. There's too many big names on the table right now for them not to make a great hire.
Please stop. You have no sources and never have. It’s aggravating. Move back to the FF or better yet to the Alabama or Georgia board you came from.
 
That’s an interesting point. Auburn may try to push him out but they have no legal recourse to do so.

If they try he can just say he wants his full buyout.

There's bound to be some negotiating going on internally. Fulmer/Pruitt will probably cover however it works out. I would rather him than McClendon or the Clemson guy. He's got two other OC stints on his resume where he succeeded and he's worked in prime recruiting grounds in AL and MS.
 
I think Lindsey's $100K retention bonus is due at the end of the regular season, which ended last Saturday for Auburn. He'll have to buy out his contract if he makes a lateral move-- or negotiate terms.

Looked it up and posted article below.

Apparently it is this Saturday - at least per this guy.

 
"Lindsey earns an annual retention bonus of $100,000 at the conclusion of Auburn's regular season, which would include the SEC Championship if the Tigers are playing. He earns $225,000 for both his endorsement and media rights, for a total of $800,000 in annual total compensation through Jan. 2020, not including performance bonuses for a bowl game or a discretionary bonus.

If Lindsey left Auburn other than to become a head coach in the FBS or FCS prior to the end of his contract, he would owe all remaining money owed to him through the remainder of his contract."

EDIT: What was I thinking. I'm not going to question LAVol haha
 
He's said all year that he wants to run the ball and that's what they've continued to try to do. After games where the offense couldn't run at all, he said that they're not going to change what they want to do. After Vandy, he said he planned and called the same things he did at Bama and they worked there, but not here. We didn't have the personnel on either side of the ball, but he made the decision to move forward and install what he wanted and recruit into it. Some call it taking the long view; some call it having a strong vision. Or maybe he just wants to stick with what he knows and what he thinks will eventually get the results he wants.

I'm not sure all that adds up to a distinct offensive philosophy that's pro-style or bust. Every offense wants to run the ball (minus a pure air raid style) and the Bama reference sounds like he's referring to the defense given that's what he called there (specifically last year when Bama walloped Vandy 59-0) and is also what he calls here. Bama hasn't been running a pure pro-style in ages. They were using spread concepts as early as McCaron's last two seasons.

doesn't seem to be anything that we couldn't overcome....assuming this is the direction it goes.
 
Chip Lindsey - Football Coach - Auburn University Athletics

He has an impressive resume. Known Pruitt and many on our staff for years.

Last year at Auburn they rushed and passed for over 3000 yards each. Hubbs said recently that Gus has taken over more of the play calling/game planning and not let Lindsey do his thing this season, which didn't work out so well, and he wants out. Think Butch and Shoop I suppose.
I like that about Auburn last year; also, in '15, Southern Miss passed for 4200 yds, and they ran for almost 2500.

Dude is impressive. I'm sold. Bring him on, and then have him rent a room at the local motel in Marietta until Bailey puts pen to paper.
 
Brad Shepard post on 247...

Talked to a couple of mutual friends of Chip down here in Madison County and they believe it is trending in that direction for TN
