The ultimate irony is that the one thing that might clean up the dirtiest football program in the history of college football is NIL and revenue sharing. Parity has been achieved at last but just not the way the NCCA wanted. Everyone can play their players to play for them. The hundred dollar handshakes are gone, the hiring of a player's daddy to a $60,000 no show job or checkcards with a magic balances that never goes down are no longer needed to get top recruits.
I hear Billy Napier is available.
Cole does not know much about Auburn. All boosters at all schools don't give money away without having a view point. It is always about relationships. Cohen and the money guys were wanted Lane or Freeze. Auburn is in the top of 5 of looking for coaches this year. Interview Jason Caldwell.
As a Bama fan I fully endorse Auburn hiring Marcus Freeman. 🤣 My other choice would be Brian Kelly. Tigers to Tigers make it easy for him. Might even get Kelly cheap since he has a big buyout in his pocket.
How come nobody’s talking about Ryan Silverfield. He should be mentioned for one of these openings. Not saying Auburn it’s just nobody is showing him any respect. I think he’s had 3 – 10 win seasons now.
🤝
Freeze is an average coach without escorts for players, and without paying players (when it was still considered against the rules).
Day 1 asking Josh Pate to wear a different shirt just once
🎉
Auburn is a mid tier program. Other than Cam Newton pulling them to a Natty it’s a hit or miss program.
It’s not close to Alabama
Very good segment.
The future of Auburn 🏈 begins now. Let’s make it happen!
bald
Non Auburn fans will never understand that Auburn thinks less about Alabama than they do about Auburn.
I promise you Auburn does not base everything we do on beating Alabama. If we did, we would not have fired Gus
Not so much as a search but a hunt for someone willing to go there LOL, search implies they have a choice of top guys, more like who can they get to say yes
Please hire Jeff Brohm
I think they both just described Jon Gruden. He's been doing in the NFL what most college coaches are just now learning. No more cookie cutter, next hot guy in a crappy league.
Cole should be the oline coach at auburn
DeBoer does not recruit the state of Alabama, he lost the state to Auburn. That will not last long-term. You have to win in the southeast when it comes to recruiting, that’s where the dogs are.
If DJ Durkin were the DC at Ohio St, Oregon, Georgia, or Alabama he'd be the hottest candidate in the country. Why are we searching for a coach when we have the best fit as our coach right now?
Auburn NOT elite.
They will never be elite. They just need to accept that. Hugh was about the best they could get. The next one will have to have from the youth football ranks.
Auburn be great again??? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
These two look like those “before” and “after” posts
I think Jeff Lebby would do great at Auburn if they could convince him to leave Mississippi State
In this environment i pay 1 million per win no guarantee contract. The candidates you get will win.
Auburn should've hired Cadillac
He said academics had control of auburn football 😂😂😂😂😂
Golesh
Damn, man. Can’t you for once cease and desist your nonsensical and slavishly worship of the SEC. Auburn a top 15 job? You are insane (or a lapdog). Historically and in the future you MIGHT give Auburn a top 30 coaching opportunity. Try:
OSU
ND
Alabama
UGA
Oregon
A&M
LSU
PSU
UF
Tennessee
Texas
USC
Washington
Mississippi
Iowa
Wisconsin
FSU
Miami
Mississippi
Michigan
And many others.
Auburn belongs in the conversation with South Carolina, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, TTU, Baylor . . .
And no, Marcus Freeman is NOT taking a job 27 steps down to take the Auburn job.
GET OFF YOUR KNEES!
Guess what!!! The good ones are working its football season duh!!!. Thats why its stupid to fire someone mid season.
Totally agree. James Franklin using Va Tech as leverage. Va Tech should dump him and find a candidate that wants to be there.
Why are we not talking to Jon Gruden ? Why consider the same ole same. Come on !! Let's get creative and look to find a big time hire !!
Fran Brown would kill it down in the plains
If Auburn has Jimbo Fisher on their top #3 list after the best (Current) team in the SEC paid him $75m to leave, we are truly stupid and deserve what we get.
The answer is right in front of their face! Hire DJ, fix the blocking and let Derrick Nix run Kiffens offense if he wants, he knows it inside out and two high energy guys like them could do really well together! WDE!
“Alignment, by Auburn standards”, hilarious. War Eagle!
Does Eli Drinkwitz make the most sense? He has done great things at Missouri. Has less talent at Missouri. Willing to change and adjust. Has been at Auburn before. He would be expensive but the floor I think would be higher than 6-6 every year. With the potential to have a really great year in 2027 (Bama&uga at home).
Problem with letting a coach develop in the SEC is they don’t get 8 cupcake games if your nil is big. If you’re waiting 3-5 years for a coach to develop he’s not making a bowl game in that time. So by the time he might have it figured out he’s got no program momentum and no donor support.
Cole NAILING it here. 100%. I pray John Cohen is listening because THIS is the template!
No way Auburn donors aligned it’s just the ones who pushed freeze are staying quiet right now. They’ll start chirping soon.
Who cares
I want Durkin as HC and Patrick Nix as OC/QB Coach..PS Bo won again !!! WDE
