‘23 AL RB Jeremiah Cobb (Auburn commit)

[ALStateLineVol]

OVing to Athens this weekend

CJH is at it again. First it was Wingo, then Hobbs, now Cobb all get to see TN play on another's team expense. Knoxville must have really cracked down on his budget and he is having to think outside the box!!

Go Vols!!

I was just about to post that they should give him serious consideration

This dude is supposedly visiting UGA. Bizarre he won't talk to us

It's baffling that top tier running backs aren't scrambling to play in this offense.

NIL has changed things, and ,imo, for the better.

I think AU has made it a requirement to to keep Williams on staff or atleast that is what I read they did when they hired Harsin.

Well that may further limit their pool of coaches as well.

Maybe but Williams is one hell of an RB coach to have on staff so I don’t know how many could/would refuse.

It would be a huge red flag to me. Meddling at it's finest.

I don't see how any big time hire(that's what I'm sure they're after) would be ok with being told who to hire on their staff.

If true, just another reason I think you have to be a fool to take that job.

We kinda did the same thing with RG though

Let's just see what happens after Saturday. I hope our ground game puts on a show.

RB coach hasn’t shown to be a great recruiter yet to this point, we’ll see what happens

Yep

The barners will hire a proven coach this time. Freeze or Kiffin would be my guess, and neither of those two will burn good commits.

Freeze is an interesting case. All comes down to what his aspirations are. He's very comfortable at Liberty and has the chance to stay there for a long time and help a team grow from FCS to Independent FBS to a G5 school in C-USA next year. He has a ton of resources at LU and very low expectations. You could argue that, with an expanded playoff, his path to the CFP is easier as a G5 at Liberty than at Auburn. Can Liberty pay what big time SEC schools can pay? No. But they can pay more than most people would think. Hugh's currently making $5/yr over the next 8 and if he keeps winning and building the program, that number will keep climbing.

I'm not saying he doesn't take the Auburn job. He very well may. But this isn't the equivalent of going after the coach at your typical G5 school.

Freeze is an arrogant dork. He got caught doing bad things at Ole Miss and attempted to push the blame onto Houston Nutt. Not only was he cheating and buying players, but the fake bible beater was ringing up hookers. And not the Hendon kind.

Not a take unless we sign a RB with the last name Webb also

I think I still have my Cobb-Webb tee-shirt some where. Doubt it will fit, but I might have it.

Pete Thamel saying Kiffin and Mark Stoops lead the list for AU.

Please don’t take Stoops from us! We like the win every year

Coaches recruit territories, not just position

Whoever they would get to replace Stoops would probably be worse.

This guy was made for this offense. Don’t understand how uga with their 5 5star rbs on roster is coming out of the blue for him and we’re not seemingly getting the look.

But you know things are different when we do it, right?

Wouldn’t it be worse if you did understand the thinking of an 18 year old

If Auburn really wanted to win, they would hire Freeze and put a large “moral” payout clause in his contract.

 

[Montrell Hardy]

I’d forget about this guy. We made him a priority for a long time and he never gave Tennessee the time of day.

Any chance we raid any guys from Auburn? I know he’s not entered the portal yet, but Jarquez Hunter would be a beast in our offense
