Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BearCat204]

Update from the same board lol


"Update from my source (the one who told me on Friday that Gus was definitely let go): Oregon ponied up to retain Cristobal, so he's apparently a not coming to Auburn. Our folks don't want the baggage that comes with Freeze, so they're passing on him. They were seriously considering Chip Lindsey, but he's apparently going through some personal issues, so they are passing on him. Our folks were also considering Steve Sarkisian, but they're apparently passing on him as well. Lane Kiffin is under consideration and so is Mike Gundy.

Long story short, my source says that there is no real direction, and there isn't anyone already in place. Source says that this is shaping up to possibly be a bit of a mess.

Side note, my source also said that Gouge and Greene both wanted to keep Gus, but the donors flat out told them they would not contribute another dime until Gus was gone. Basically ham-stringed the president and AD to get rid of Gus.

Source also said a coach from ND is going to Vandy, so Gus is not. Said Gus is now considering Arizona State."

Know you are just pulling from that site, so this isn’t directed at you, but anyone who thinks Auburn doesn’t know exactly who they want and have an indication they will get them is a bit looney IMO. You don’t buyout a dude with the record and resume that Gus has with 21M if you don’t know exactly who you are filling the position with. Either that or Auburn is dumber than our administration is.

You are highly over valuing him. I do not want and would rather keep the moronic Gump over Cristobal. Hes a terrible hire I hope Auburn gets him.

Your opinion. Not unlike my opinion that many on here are overhyping Hugh Freeze.

Why are you so down him?

 

[volatil]

You Sure.
Cristabol has an 8-9 million dollar buyout to leave Oregon.- Hubbs

Add that to the 30 million they are paying a staff to leave

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Freeze isn’t getting offers from open schools. This “waiting for TN to open” is crap and you guys are falling for it. If Auburn won’t touch freeze, TN sure won’t. Let’s stop the freeze talk.

We're getting him

"Interesting in that no one is saying anything definite about next year. Fulmer was on Volcalls two weeks ago and it was hardly a strong endorsement and Pruitt on the eve of signing day indicated that he hasn't been told anything specific about being back." - Hubbs

I was told Saturday that the players fully expect Pruitt back next year - could change

ewwwww


bye to all the fans

 

[UTSuave’]

bass you know the east is weak and there’s only two teams to beat every year!...I wouldn’t hire Gus but to say he wouldn’t win the east is premature but it’s still not the ultimate goal.winning the east could be the start of something though,how long has it been since we won that?

i don’t see him ever winning the East here.

 

[SLICKYINC]

2017: 19th
2018: 13th
2019: 7th
2020: 11th
not any better recruiter than Pruitt or Gus

He’s 7th right now and his classes have gotten better every year since he took over as HC.

Pruitt is in trouble.

I'm hoping for the latter. I really want them to have an embarrassing coaching search.

The players would be the last ones to know.

 

[BAJAvol]

Monster? I mean, don’t create a narrative that isn’t there

2021 - 6th (currently)
2020 - 11
2019 - 7
2018 - 13
Average -= 9th

Prior to Cristobal
2017 - 19
2016 - 27
2015 - 16
2014 - 21
Average = 21st

Pretty significant difference and I think most people would agree.

Cristobal out here re-tweeting recruits who say they’re signing with Oregon.

Cold blooded move to bolt in the next couple of days.

 

[BruinVol]

Why are you so down him?

He has a losing record as a HC

 

[Ace]

ewwwww

I trust the source too. I keep thinking that if we are going to make a change, the best way is to keep it as quiet as possible

 

[MoCo_Vol]

He’s 7th right now and his classes have gotten better every year since he took over as HC.

2017 wasn't his class anyway so he takes over as HC and they jump from 19th to 13th and haven't left the top 15 since. With 2 classes in the top 10, pretty damn impressive.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

1. Jordan Mosley - is he a take?
2. Roc Taylor - Is he a take? Or is he going to flip and sign elsewhere?
3. Edwin White - staffs thoughts on him?
4. Elijah Howard - staffs thoughts on him?
5. Julian Nixon - things been quiet with him...

Don’t see him in class
Yes
May not sign till Feb
Idk on Howard.
Taking him

- AP

also started to follow auburn players

 

[UTSuave’]

they would never do it, but I believe Kiffin is the best choice to bring Tennessee back and he regrets ever leaving..
-LWS lets ride.

LETTUCE!!!!

 

[swchandler1988]

I don’t have an opinion on him, but 7th in 2019 to 11th in 2020 is actually not an improvement. I mean that isn’t an opinion it’s just a fact
