Still don't trust him. The P12 is a weak conference, and I would almost put money on the NCAA ends up sniffing around at Oregon if Cristobal stays there long term. Lastly, once he lost his NFL QB Oregons offense this year hasn't been good.

I think just about every team ever that's lost a first round QB and isn't a powerhouse has taken a slight step back offensively. They're also starting a RS frosh.

He has potential to be an all timer. I really believe that

I’ve said it countless times, he has that IT factor. You could tell in HS and it’s carried over IMO

Criminal player mismanagement:



Should have been getting, at minimum, 5-7 targets each game. Hyatt’s ceiling could rival that of Hunter, and may possibly be higher due to his speed alone.

Hyatt needs to be our primary slot guy and he will be a 100-yard a game machine. he is a nightmare out of the slot.

You should take a Xanax.

Apparently the only acceptable cock to ride belongs to Hugh Freeze. I hope those escorts were tested for STDs.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

I actually hope Pruitt is back next year. I like the guy, especially in previous years when he was so fiery on the sideline and showed how much he cared for the team in post game press conferences. He’s someone I’d have enjoyed playing for.

We are just going to **** up the next hire anyways. I really hope he makes the appropriate changes and continues to develop as a HC. I think pulling the trigger on a guy every 3-4 years has made this job toxic in the minds of football coaches across the country. Would love to see some stability for once.

Gus brings along Rodney to coach the DL I ain't gonna be upset with paying him a couple grand a year until his Auburn buyout ends....

Lol nah. If it was up to me, we’d all be riding kiffins

From poster on VQ:
this is from an AU former players group text:

1. Mario is still the leading candidate and interest is mutual.
2. AU fans do not want Freeze. There is some animosity there.
3. Mario was set to announce he was leaving, but with them being put in the PAC-12 championship game due to UW's COVID issue, he had to push back his zoom to 6:30. Expect him to finish the season with Oregon and then leave for AU. Chance he is using it to get more money from Oregon, but doubt that.

Expect an announcement soon.

Let it happen, football gods. Time for Auburn to wander in the desert for 10 years.

 

[johnfnkelly]

FIU should be a good job. All kinds of local talent against very very average conference competition. His tenure there was a big failure

"Should be" doesn't really matter when historically they've never been good. Hell, they've never even been mediocre. They went 0-12 the year prior to him and 1-11 the year after.

 

[therickbol]

Not always. Campbell has already made 3.5 million for 3 years. That's already generational money, compared to his Dad being a high school football coach. Since ISU loves him, he could probably be there 10 more years at a minimum of 3.5 per year with obvious increases. That's a minimum of 35 million dollars and most likely 40+. Otherwise, he could take Michigan at 5-6 million per year, fail after 4 years, and he's made slightly less and looking for another job.

We are talking millions either way, and being comfortable in life for you and your family does mean something at that point.

Exactly, long term outlook and quality of life are driving decisions of lots of coaches these days.

No one is happy with this year and no one is happy with Pruitt. However, I think we're going to be really good next year, under Pruitt. And we will finally start to see some light at the end of this dark tunnel.

Ap on Marley, the staff covets him and AP thinks he plays defense.
Then Swan says this.

I hope Marley plays safety for Gods sake........ WE NEED THE HELP

Things change fast in coaching hires. Dude went from a strong candidate to basically hired in the span of one text.

I must say the Gus situation is giving me Rick Barnes vibes.

We hire a terrible HC in Donnie, he's average and then Barnes is let go despite having results for the program -he- built up and we move Donnie out without having to pay his buyout or anything to hire Barnes.

Now we've hired a terrible HC in Pruitt, he's average and then Gus is let go despite having results for Auburn and now he's sitting there with no buyout or anything to deal with.

He's got a few ex-TN guys on staff that Fulmer has ties to as well in Steele & Garner. Not sure if we try to hire Gus, but interesting of all the names on the list I bet Fulmer knows him best.

I don’t think I’ll cheer for the Vols anymore if they hire a guy that was just fired for not winning enough games. That’s just me tho.

Gus is known as an offensive genius much like Pruitt is a defensive genius.

Just for info, AUB ppg ranks last 6 seasons:

2020: 83rd
2019: 36th
2018: 61st
2017: 18th
2016: 53rd
2015: 63rd

So they think he’s solid?

Sounds like it.

Agreed. We were average QB play away from two more wins this year I think. Hopefully we settle on a guy and get him developed in the offseason. People were in Pruitt’s ass about delegating responsibility so he shifted gears, but if the guy is truly a top 3 CFB DC, it would be criminal to not have him calling the plays. Ansley just isn’t getting it done in my opinion.

Everybody says that, but what is the alternative?

Kiffin resigned after 1 year.

Dooley went 4-19 in conference play in 3 seasons. What was the argument for retaining him and giving him more time?

Butch went 14-24 in conference play in 5 seasons, with his last season being the only winless conference season in school history. What was the argument for retaining him and giving him more time?

Pruitt will likely be 9-16 in conference play in 3 seasons.

It isn't like these coaches that we have hired have put together several good years, then we cut them loose after one bad year. Our hires have either never gotten it together (Dooley and Pruitt), or came close to getting it together before the bottom falls out (Butch).

 

[volatil]

A chance he’s trying to get more money???


Take it from us... IT’S A LOCK HE’S TRYING TO GET MORE MONEY

 

[Bobbygvfl]

We are only going to make a change if we can ensure one of our top guys identified are willing to make the move to TN. Additionally you have a sect of donors at odds with each other as usual. One set willing to make a move and go big which includes getting rid of Phil Fulmer and another set who is ok with seeing JP can turn this around with a new developmental support staff and the benefit of a Qb who can actually read a defense and do what is proper given the circumstance.

 

[TrippieRedd]

god we better get a new coach

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Poster is referring to Craig Fitzgerald, SC coach that left.
Per TOS SC - He and Aaron Feld from Oregon are top two for S&C coach with Beamer. I thought it was odd that he went to the Giants so quick after leaving the Texans. Wonder if he and JP had issues?

 

[Blake25p]

Sounds like it.

Good deal, appreciate it!

nah, new coach or half the fan base is gone, simple. Go get Freeze.
