Facebook Update,

I was having trouble keeping up with who was who so I made some of you officers with your title being the name you use here. So now we can just go to the officers page to find out instead of scrolling down the wall.

If you would like me to update your name, please let me know what name you use on here and I will update the officers' page.

NOTE: Being an officer in this group is not a status symbol thing, it's just a way to keep track.

I just realized you don't even have to go to the officers' page to see the user name. It will show up on the members list under your network.

Your right Mr. Sensible- now that Lester confirmed that Tubs is staying, we can move to the oc search.

War Ealge Girl- You are right. These are just kids who don't get paid, or at least not anymore, to play for Auburn. That's why I say don't ever take it out on the players. In 98, things were bad as most know, but Ben Leard took critisim very hard, and it was wrong for fans to be so negative. That sticks out to me.

If David Cutcliffe won't go to UT b/c he doesn't want to replace CPF and if the predictions are true that CTT will not be here next year, why not Cutcliffe @ AU? (Disciplinarian and QB builder)

My guess is that b/c CPF cares about UT, he will invite Cutcliffe to come to UT.

Cutcliff is a good coach, but poor recruiter. That was his downfall at Ole Miss.

6:45 PM

Cutcliff is not that great of a recruiter, once Eli left they had nothing.

He's a good QB developer and decent X's and O's guy, but nothing special.

Plus I'm guessing if we hire someone it'll be someone younger than Cutcliff who is 55 or so.

7:00 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Didn't realize he was not a good recruiter and didn't consider age. Those are good points.

I feel like if CTT really goes, AU is going to struggle to get the caliber coach that is expected, b/c of our baggage.

Agreed RK. I don't think Cutcliff is a good fit for what Auburn wants at ths time.

Hoopie, I may be completely wrong, but I think that is something we will not have to worry about. I believe they only cut Tubs loose if they have their man ready to step in. I just don't see it happening any other way.

A Coach should want to come to Auburn, beacuase we have proven that we are patient, despite what some may think. Last 5 coaches:

Tuberville- 10 Years
Bowden - 5.5 Years
Dye- 12 Years
Barfield- 5 Years
Shug Jordan- 25 Years.

Thats a pretty good track record of patience.

I've kinda felt this all along and have considered all potential coach's mentioned on the blogs without commenting. Barnhart's article today regarding his anticipated UT coach search challenges caused me to face it.

Why would Leach leave a ggod thing at an upcoming Big 12 school where he is loved to jump into the neurotic SEC? Money? I'll bet TT makes it too good for him to stay.

My guess is that you will see more coaches make a decision like Jim Grobe at Wake Forest. This forces more and more situations like Arkansas last season.

I think Leach would be a terrible hire. What makes anyone think that we have the athletes to run that offense? It would be the same result we had this year with franklin. He won a big game against a soft Texas defense, I bet he loses his next two. He's the flavor of the week.

Ron "ball of hate" Mexico: You always come out swinging, :-)

I don't think Leach would be a good hire either. I was using him as an example of "the other" type that I thought might be able to survive here.

Hoopie: He would leave because T. Tech operates under a deficit. THEY CAN'T pay him any more money. The can't afford to pay him now.

Also, back to you Ron: When Leach got there, T. Tech didn't have those kind of players either. They barely had any players at all.

All that said, I AM NOT suggesting that AU hire Leach.

8:25 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

eddie4au, I am not panicking. I am just saying that talent doesn't dictate the offense. The offense conforms to the talent. A good coach will be able to use the talent he has, not wait until different areas of talent arrive.

If this presidential race continues as it looks like it will, it won't matter who the coach is.

Steve- I'm not suggesting your panicking, i'm suggesting that who ever the next OC should be committed to the offense they run just as Michigan is and GT is this year. They don't have their players, but they are committed to doing it their way regardless instead of just trying to win this year. Granted, GT is winning this year.

Phred, I understood that you were using Leach as an example. I don't see any "proven" D1 coaches that will jump into the SEC insanity without demanding a kings ransom or a substantial buyout clause.

The odds of satisfying the fickle fans is not that good, so the coach has to make the deal sweet enough to be worth the risk.

I think the answer is a blend of what you 2 are saying.

Hoopie. I don't think there will be a buyout if we get someone like Butch Davis or another big name. I think you will get guarenteed money for the entire contract if you should fire them. I figure we would do the same thing that Alabama did with Nick Saban.

8:44 PM

I really don't see Auburn as that much more neurotic than any other school of similar profile. Big time college football prgrams all have about the same issues we do. Meddling trustees and boosters. Irrational fans who expect too much and call for firings.

However, Aubrun has the coolest pre-game tradition ever, so that's one thing we've got going for us.

Jay, I coached girls also. I initially concentrated on improving general athletic skills and convincing them to be aggressive. BBall is probably easier to coach than soccer. My daughter was more interested in doing cartwheels during the game than chasing the soccer ball. Years later she was on a state championship competitive cheerleading team. I guess the cartwheels were the answer.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

I feel that Lech would work, but do not think he would be the one that was chosen. If Tubbs is to be jettisoned I feel the BOT would have to have someone already locked down. I had said before I thought if an announcement was to be made t would be after the UGA game, similar to what TN is doing. 9I think PF is coaching through the final game) My gut feeling would be that it would be Muschamp if that is the case.

With that being said, I still think TUbbs stays regardless of the final two games, unless they are complete blowouts.

What do you HOTTIES think?

Wootangclan,

I go back and forth on this all the time.

Part of me thinks the silence means a deal is done and TPTB are just waiting for the season to end.

Part of me thinks Tubs has all the power and has shut down the comm. lines to keep it all in house and he isn't going anywhere.

For some of the other conference school coaches that may not want to come to AU and the SEC, I say, If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

If you would rather be big in your fishbowl then you should stay there. If you think you can play here, then sack up and come on.

I just like the moxy of Boise State. Their program has, I think, always said we will play anyone, anywhere, anytime. That is the AUdacity, AttitUde the AU needs to get.

Baggage is an interesting subject. Auburn has a lot, yes. However, a new coach would at least have a couple years to right the ship and recruit. I think the baggage really lies with CTT. He has jetgate, a fickle fanbase when it comes to him, and an administration that tolerates him at best. I think CTT has a uhaul full of baggage with Auburn. That being said, I think that he is the man for the job. He just needs a couple of years (never happen, imo) and a really goog OC hire.

Tuberville and Spurrier are big golf buddies - Spurrier beat him in a charity (?) golf match last year.

Jay, unsurprisingly, I can give you several reasons why Cutcliffe would prefer Duke to TN.

I was just about to post that Spurrier quote. He's always good for a few gems.

A couple of other great Spurrier quotes.

In 2000 or 2001 after the Flordia/South Carolina game where Holtz did the black out and had all the SC fans wear black and Florida ripped them something like 49-7, Spurrier said "I'd like to thank all those South Carolina fans tonight, that nice pretty black backdrop they gave for Rex Grossman to throw into was greatly apprecaited."

When asked about what he learned about his team by beating Vandy one year 42-0, he responded "it showed me we're 42 points better than Vanderbilt."

About Cutcliffe taking himself out of Duke consideration: there are fans and media people who have thrown his name around, so that is why he would take himself "out of consideration" even though we know he wouldn't get it. He is friends with Phil, Phil gave him a job in between head coaching gigs and they have a lot of history. Makes sense he would nip any rumors in the bud, otherwise it might seem like he was condoning and maybe even hoping to profit from this "injustice" done to his friend.

Greatest Spurrier comment ever came on his radio show the week after a loss to UT.

Caller: Coach, I work with a lot of UT fans and they're really giving me hell this week. What do you suggest?

Spurrier: I suggest you find a job where you're working with a lot of Georgia fans.

Second greatest Spurrier comment came a couple of years ago at SEC Media Days when he was discussing signing a player from the state of Alabama.

Spurrier: In 12 years at Florida, I don't think we ever signed a kid from the state of Alabama. Of course, we found out later that the scholarships they were giving out at Alabama were worth a whole lot more than ours."

Thank you, sir. Glad to be here. I'm usually lurking throughout the day.

Spurrier and Tuberville homies? Now that is interesting. Shug and Bear had their behind the seens fishing trip too. These coaches really need to learn a bit more about hating.

Blogger michael said...

From what I hear, most of the coaches in the league genuinely dislikes Urban Meyer. Other than that, not a lot of personal animosity.

Charles Goldberg had a blog suggesting our offensive issues might be fixed by scoring more touchdowns. What a brilliant idea. I say we try it and see how it works.

10:35 AM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

I hear if you score more points than the other team that you win the game. Maybe Charles could post that also.

10:44 AM  
Blogger Unknown said...

eddie4au, it depends. Against MSU we scored 2 for them and 3 for us. I guess it depends on who we score points for.

Let's face it, we score less than high school freshmen do with seniors.

Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

ouch! so true though. so, what's the over/under on points scored this weekend? 24? 28?

11:22 AM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

I say the Over / Under is 42.

11:35 AM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Charles is a funny guy.

He's just funnin'. Might as well considering how this season has unfolded. I feel like I'm writing the same stories over and over again ...

11:38 AM  
Blogger michael said...

Maybe you should skip reporting on this year anymore and act like its the offseason. Focus on recruiting and optimism about '09

11:46 AM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

I think Jay should reuse stories from previous games to see if anybody notices a difference.

11:53 AM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

eddie, you mean like we couldn't score points, they're working hard in practice and getting better, kodi's getting better, the ball hasn't bounced our way this year, it's going to happen, somebody gets hurt on defense, yada...yada...yada. like those stories?

yeah, i don't think i'd notice a difference. bummer.

I'm waiting on the "It's just one of them football things" response.

Every NASCAR interview that I have seen has a driver who wrecks using the "It's just one of them racing things" response, so Tub should steal from them.

12:23 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Jay, I really feel for you as a writer. There really isn't much new to report. The Tuesday press conference is pretty much a re-run every week, with the new thing being the number of injuries.

I watched some video of Ziemba and Green on Auburn Undercover earlier. They were saying the right things, but their hearts didn't really seem to be in it. I think they are probably sick of all the questions.

12:42 PM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

I agree, I would like to see Tubs using Juan Montoya quotes in his press conference. I don't know much about NASCAR, but I bet it would be funny.

Is anyone else listening to The Roundtable via internet and if so is it breaking up?

Monica, I am listening and it's not breaking up. I bet you get a shout out for posting that :)

lol Thanks, Eddie.

OK. I've been pondering what to post today. I have come to a conclusion.

I'm going to do a video. Then, or maybe before I do the video, I'm going to go on a rant about how Auburn needs to make up its mind on Tuberville. The Iron Bowl is only two games away.

What if Auburn continues on its aimless ways and Tuberville wins the Iron Bowl? Then what? Fire a guy who just won seven in a row?

1:46 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

ooooooo a RANT! I'm excited! Go, Jay G., Go!

1:50 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Yea. Rants give me release.

I think Wilson Phillips should write a song about that.

1:56 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Video Idea - Jay G. doing Release Me.

Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

I like it Jay. That is the best reading of all. Heck, I think that is what most of us do here. We rant in a constructive way. Anyways. Love hearing your thoughts on this craziness that is Auburn Football.

Gnarles Barkley- Crazy for video.

Blogger ron mexico said...

Jay, I was thinking the same thing yesterday about Auburn making up it's mind. But would it be smart to have a lame duck coach going into the iron bowl? I think that would put our chances from 5% to 0% of winning... I guess we don't have much of shot either way, but I think firing him would eliminate all hope.

2:06 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I remember Dye being a lame duck heading into the 1992 Iron Bowl. When it was 0-0 at halftime I thought we might be able to pull it out, but Antonio Langham ended those thoughts.

2:12 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

Either way the longer they wait and don't say anything... the more tuberville's chances of joining Phillip Fulmer and the fat buyout club increase

2:13 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I think there should be an emotional video with the generic sounds of Phil Collins singing "Against All Odds".

2:14 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

I agree Ron, the longer this drags on the less of a chance that they are planning on keeping Tommy.

2:15 PM

Jay, maybe if you added some inspirational music to the video, it might help. How about Hank Williams Jr. singing why do you drink?

New rant is up.

(Slacking? It's Tennessee-Martin week.)
