HC Vacancies Thread

[utee94]

It’s a really tough out.

There aren’t even 5 million people in a state that they are little brother in. Alabama is the dominant program in-state and for the last decade plus with Saban they have been the dominant program nationally- which just makes it harder on Auburn.

Not sure Auburn is the type of school that can go into any state in the nation and get in the living room and wind up in the hat dance. Say what you will about Michigan or ND- but they are in more populous states and they have this ability. Auburn does not.

Just depends on how willing Auburn's bag men are to "play ball."  

We don't know what Auburn paid for Cam Newton, we only know that the LOSING bid was $180,000.

The population of Georgia is under 4 million.

Really.

Cam was a 5* QB recruit out of Georgia that signed with Urban Meyer and Florida out of high school. 

Cam only wound up at Auburn because he got kicked off the team by Meyer and out of school by UF and had to transfer to JUCO. Auburn just so happens to be like the king of JUCO. Half their entire freaking team consists of the JUCO ranks.

What?

[MaximumSam]

What?

Covid hit the state hard

[fezzador]

What?

If you take away Atlanta, GA is right around 4 mil.

[Brutus Buckeye]

Georgia the country has a population just under 4 million.

well, there was this other little reason, but Cam didn't know about it.
You'd have to ask his Father

They were top 10 in composite talent in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Like No. 7, I think.

The school is functionally in Georgia and can pull talent from Florida. And their boosters are crazy and pay well.

Auburn hasn't had a talent problem in over 40 years.  There's plenty of talent to go around.  And it's strange, but Bama being the best has actually made Auburn better. 
In the Saban era, Auburn has the best win% vs the Tide.  LSU has definitely been a better program, but has 4 wins vs Bama compared to AU's 5 (an in an extra game). 
The rest of Bama's annual SEC foes?  4-56. 
4-56 for Ole Miss, Miss St, Arkansas, A&M, and Tennessee.
4-10 is what LSU has managed.
5-8......the 'Barn.
.
Auburn has been better during the unstoppable Tide era because it's had to.  It's their rival.  They've fared the best because they're closest to the giant.  They've risen to fill that role.
It's interesting.

And they ditch their HC.

did Gus do something stupid that we aren't aware of?

He was stupid enough to take a job that allowed his success to be measured against Saban’s.

[FearlessF]

see, we're all aware of that

[bayareabadger]

did Gus do something stupid that we aren't aware of?

He let his offense fall off, despite having a bunch of good seeming talent.
