Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Auburn Mods saying Steele is the favorite to replace Gus at the moment

So, they're gonna give Gus $21 Million and just promote from their staff. That's insane

 

[Kingston Vol]

Here's the bottom line: Gus is a candidate you can get every decision-maker on board with. He's been successful enough to get the money people behind it, and he's safe enough to get Fulmer and the academic side behind it. Just a reminder: we still have a coach and we're not sure which way we want to go with him. Gus checks all the boxes and makes it worth the $20M to blow Pruitt out.

Freeze is not going to get a call from Auburn and he's not going to get a call from us. Face facts, guys. If Auburn won't touch him, that should tell you all you need to know.

If you want to talk about other candidates, I'm fine to do it, but the Freeze stuff is asinine and never going to happen. There are high dollar candidates like Campbell and Fickell, but the fact they will be so expensive (with no guarantee they will be successful in the SEC like Gus has) leads me to believe Tennessee would choose Malzahn over them. And then there are up and comers like Napier and Chadwell. With Malzahn as an option, we don't have to take a risk on them.

Deep down, if you’re truly a Volunteers fan, this makes you happy.

AP confirming again this morning that Steele has a real shot to get the Auburn job.

God I hope they do it.

They're hiring Kiffin, I wonder if Fulmer is spewing this BS to AP because when he fires Pruitt he's going to hire Steele

 

[GojiraVol17]

auburn is paying gus's buyout...in full, in a one time payment, this month.

that's F U money......

Half.

 

[Batman1948]

I seriously doubt Auburn is stupid enough to do it but their board is pretty fun to read right now

More fun than our board?

You’re delusional sometimes.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Sure it does. But we should have done that same thing to Kentucky and Arkansas.

No lies detected.

Really doubt Kiffin bolts again after just one season

It would be an all time awful move to spend 20million to hire their DC as a head coach.

In all fairness, they haven't been paying off ex football and basketball coaches along with AD's for the past 8 years. They have had time to harvest their funds.

 

[Weezer]

Because they know they wouldn’t be able to get away with the cabin as often.

UT needs a cabin. Given how close we are to the Smokies, it's surprising we don't have one.

Ummm

AUB playing in the big leagues meanwhile we’re just trying to make the rookie ball squad

 

[Volsfaninva917]

You’re delusional sometimes.

What part of that is delusional, Kiffin doesn't want to stay at Ole Miss and Auburn has the balls to hire him. The other part of that statement about Fulmer spewing BS, that's how those things work.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Auburn may go after a NFL guy...(Jason Garrett comes to mind)

Who knows, honestly shocked they fired Gus and are eating that buyout especially this season when everything is in the shitter. Why not just wait another season, let Gus get you another top 10 class and limb to 8 wins AGAIN then fire him with a year more off the contract and stuff approaching normal operations again?

 

[GojiraVol17]

I hate to be that guy, but I’m glad not being labeled as cheaters.

 

[Orange Studs]

The fact that LWS is talking about any replacement for Pruitt is promising news to me.

I missed what LWS. Could you give me the short version?

 

[Memphisvol87]

Freeze is insanely overrated by this fan base.

Everyone always assumes a school fired their coach to jump on Freeze, when in reality the school doesn’t even give Freeze more than a passing glance.

He’s the best shot we have to win quickly in this league and it’s not even close. The only better shots would be finding a way for a meyer or Peterson type coach.

 

[VolInDayton]

If Auburn gave him a huge deal and a buy out like Malzhan had, Kiffin would be gone before the end of the day.

 

[MarcoVol]

Ummm

? Did I miss an AUB announcement or something?

BS.............. that sounds like something insanely stupid UT would do...

It’s not what you said , it’s the way you said it, bud. Sounds like a tin foil hat kinda thing

 

[Batman1948]

I really think it would be pretty poetic for Kiffin to come back and win big. Complete the circle!

If Kiffin somehow made it back to UT, as the head coach, he better not touch anything hanging on the walls of the football complex. If he did, that would be grounds for castration with a dull knife

 

[MCScots4]

I don’t understand this train of thought. Gus is literally the only decent coach Pruitt has beat.

Kind of like how Dooley beat Butch then we hired Butch. No thanks.
