🏈 Gus to the barn

[psychojoe]

With NCAA rumors swirling, Gus might be the best for them now.

 

[cjaytch]

Well that's 3 more years of high school spread offense and mediocre defense

I was telling a coworker earlier "i hope they hire Gus" and this is the exact reason i gave him.

Even if he keeps Uncle Rico as their DC, developing the kind of physical toughness to be an elite defense will be difficult when you go against a finesse offense in practice every day. That's my theory as to why Texas never developed an elite defense with all their top recruiting classes and Muschamp coaching the D.

Look forward to more Bama backs ravaging the Tiger defense between the tackles.

Does he keep Trooper and Luper?

Did Kirby get snubbed? If so, I don't feel sorry for him haha!!

ESPN said that Auburn informed Kirby that they were going with Gus, but after all the "Kirby has accepted the job" who knows

 

[PhillyGirl]

I read somewhere that Kirby turned down the offer. Which doesn't make much sense.

Oh well, works out better for us!

He might have turned it down and Auburn is just putting their spin on it, so they don't seem like Arky per se?

Yes, works out much better for us

 

[bamanaf]

Kirby is a class guy. It did work out for us! Now he needs to wait on Saban to hand him the torch.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

Some people who claim to be in the know are saying that Kirby turned it down after asking of any potential NCAA stuff looming out there and if he could finish out his season with Bama. Auburn would not give a response to it so he declined. TIFWIW

it makes since though as I don't think Auburn would form a hiring committee if they had planned n getting Gus all along. I think they went after some coaches but none would accept the fact of walking into a potential investigation and recruiting nightmare. Petrino got his call only to appease the fringe at Auburn that wanted him. Gus seemed like their last resort rather than "boom" hire we were told would happen.

 

[JoshB]

AU fans justifying it by saying Malzhan is the "anti Saban" which is the best...

 

[jocephus8179]

I'm confused. I thought they were supposidly going to open the checkbook on this coaching search and get a proven headcoach. 2.3 mil a year is opening the checkbook? And Gus has only been a headcoach for 1 year.....at Arky St. Looks like another version of a deperation hire, just like with Cheezit. :icon_scratch:

BTW it is strange that the videos aren't on YouTube or other sites anymore. Damn what kind of power does on got and why the effort to remove it? Hmmmmm

Kirby was not offered the job

Wonder how this will affect AU's recruits

Reuben, Jeremy, the kickers, Cam Toney andKamryn Melton all say they're excited and solid

Lawson is slipping away.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

Anyone else catch the opening presser? It was pretty comical. Felt like everyone had a pine comb up their butt wanting to ask meaty questions but restraint out of respect I guess lol. JJ always cracks me up when he opens his good ole boy pie hole. :biggrin_blue:

 

[Duder]

Somewhere an Auburn fan is thinking, what happened to us getting Jeff Fisher...

And that Auburn fan is an idiot

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Get on the gus, bus.

 

[JoshB]

Hopefully Coach Saban is sitting in Lawson & Liner's living rooms soon...
