Coaching snapshot: Jay Boulware
JAY BOULWARE
Age: 36 (born 11/26/72)
College: B.A. from U. Texas, 1996. (economics)
Playing career: Spent two seasons as a reserve offensive lineman at U. Texas. A heart condition ended his playing career before his junior season began.
Coaching career:
•Auburn, tight ends/special teams (current)
•Iowa State, running backs/special teams (2007-08)
•Utah, tight ends/special teams (2005-06)
•Stanford, running backs (2004)
•Arizona, several roles (2001-03)
•Northern Illinois, several roles (1997-2000)
•Texas, graduate assistant (1994-96)
Mentor:
Larry Mac Duff, who was defensive coordinator at U. Arizona when Boulware was there as a position coach. It was MacDuff, a special-teams guru, who first suggested that Boulware begin learning about special teams. I've also heard Boulware speak highly of Tom Quinn, who coaches special teams with the New York Giants.
Previous Auburn experience:
None.
Coaching philosophy:
Boulware brings an intriguing blend of ideas to Auburn's coaching staff. He is an old-school guy in many ways, placing high demands on his players and making sure they hear exactly what he expects from them. He has the loudest voice on any field. He isn't ashamed to use that booming voice.
Many old-school coaches believe in what I'll call "cookie cutter" football. By that, I mean they think football is static. They believe in one way of doing things. Boulware isn't narrow minded and, in fact, spends a lot of time sharing ideas with other coaches about special-teams innovations. He wants to be a maverick.
Boulware is Auburn's most detail-oriented coach. While fellow assistants like Curtis Luper and Jeff Grimes talk more about hustle and attitude, Boulware asks his players see things on a smaller scale. He is a stickler for footwork, hand placement, stances. I watched him berate TE Bailey Woods during spring drills for aligning too far away from the tackle.
The offending margin measured less than a foot. That didn't matter to Boulware.
I sense that special teams is going to be his thing, though I also believe he could become a head coach someday. At 36, he's still moving along the learning curve. Boulware is an enterprising guy. He's not someone who waits for direction.
Personality profile:
Boulware is an intense guy. I've never talked to him when things seemed leisurely in his world. He's speaks forcefully. I wouldn't call it loud, but he's always audible and his comments leave no room for interpretation.
He speaks his mind. He's honest about his players, even when that honesty demands a critical take. I tie that in with his generally old-school outlook on coaching.
I consider Boulware the team's most upwardly mobile coach. Though I believe offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn will be the first assistant to land a major job, I expect to see Boulware gain regional/national relevance during the next 10 years. He's so driven. He has a precise view of what he wants, yet he's very interested in finding new ways to excel.
Those are the kinds of people who, in my experience, make it big.

Here we go, here we go, here we go now.
Hmmm
Ladies talkin about age...
And I'm out
WTC,
I graduated in 1977 at age 17, so I guess that is about right.
I'm going with tertiary and now THAT's all I'm saying about that.
Another new page smell. Just in time for me to go to bed. Good night all.
Greg you post like another Hottie. The one who had the big ole hairy man as his avatar.
Oops
New page
Still out
WDE ery'body
y'all sure are going to bed early for a Friday night
boys = wusses, Cincy
Mon & Cincy - it's 10:15 for me. I'm getting up at 5am and will start running at 6am for a long time. I ain't no wussy.
NOW I'm going to bed.
Ok, Norm, good reasons. Good night!
LOL he's a paranoid wuss!
How late do I have to stay up to not be a wuss? I have no plan on running tomorrow.
I don't know, but I have no intention of going to bed as long as this wind is blowing. I'd be afraid a tree would land in my bed.
ooohhh, THT will not be happy. Red Wings just scored. 2-1 Pens
Did Mincy and Goodwin commit?
Mon, what's the scoop?
ha Depressed No wussies here - I'm just being my regular mean self.
Anybody watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals?
Why is Sid the Kid not playing here at the end of the game?
I'm watching and I don't care a thing about hockey. But I am so nervous for THT!
Just browsing for songs on Youtube and this was a funny video. I do like the song and this is the 1st time I've seen the video.
Put this in the search line on youtube:
bowling for soup 1985 music video
In Norm's defense, I'm reasonably certain I an not a " wuss"
I just have a hard time posting drunk on an iPhone
I can haz man card back? :)
I ain't a wuss, and I ain't afraid of Monica.
You can definitely keep the pot stirred, Monica. It's always in fun,though.
I think.
PENS Win!
Congrats on the win THT
I'm so happy for you THT. I hope this is a sign of things to come - teams that you pull for winning it all!
Omnica
I go to a lotta blogs ery'singlr day
And I see a lotta posts
From a lotta bloggers
And YOU are my favorite
;)
WTC I want to see you in your parachute pants.
I want to go buy a Honda Accord tomorrow. Does anyone know a website I can go to to find out the real price the dealer paid for it?
Except got Jay G. Tate, that is
I do not bite the hand...
/hates Succups though
Monica-No parachute pants but maybe some capris. :)
Cincy - Edmunds.com maybe?
WTC - Are you telling me you've worn capris?
Thanks, I'll try that.
Red and white loses
Life is good
WOW Greg! That is high praise, indeed! Thanks :-)
Mon-They would not fit over my calves.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Also the shirt that I had needed to be tappered to reveal the lats.
Satan raises the cup
Ugh
Sorry, I was late trying to type. Didn't see Monica's post. I do enjoy looking at Edmonds.
WTC you're talking dirty to me and you know it. purrrrrrr
Congrats THT- Go Wings!! :) You are now a fan of whatever team is playing against AU from now on. Sorry but since it worked with the Pens it'll work for us!
In retrospect, spelling has been quite difficult for me tonight
Good thing I'm a stripper
Gametime!
We'll be needing some video proof of that Greg.
Greg,
What game are you playing?
Hot guys that can't spell
Google me
/$5?
You can stop Googling me now
It tickles
Thanks to all my Hottie friends who helped pull the Penguins through for STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
I've already ordered t-shirts and caps for all the hockey fans in the family (i.e., not for MrsTHT or Molly dog)
THTjr and I were acting so crazy when it ended. MissTHT babysitting somewhere, but she watched it.
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If MissTHT didn't have a final exam Monday, we'd already be on our way to Pittsburgh for the celebration.
Miller - Mincy didn't commit, but it's looking even better after today's visit.
Goodwin - looking very good after today's visit, met with Coach No Calves and said "The way (Malzahn's offense) is set up, he wants to get the ball to that go-to guy. They're going to put a lot of points on the board." (per auburnsports.com)
He's bringing his parents back on July 17th to meet Coach Chiz. He's visiting North Carolina in July, but feels no pressure to commit and probably won't announce until after the season.
cincy - ConsumerReports.com sells reports that shows detailed dealer costs on cars. I don't know if you have to be a CR subscriber or not.
Miss THT came by after babysitting in neighborhood and begged and pleaded for us to hop in the car and head to Pittsburgh. Oh how I wanted to say yes, but MrsTHT would have murderized me.
Dreamweaver a great song and yes, it's on my ipod. I didn't read all the posts, so I don't know exactly who likes it or what all y'all said
Here's Gary Wright's web site
http://www.thedreamweaver.com/
Mon- let me know when he's visiting UNC and I'll sneak over to Butch Davis's office and put Auburn stickers everywhere.
Let me share one important thing with you: I hate UAT.
THT I WILL let you know and I'll hope you get photos or video of your efforts.
tht, that game was crazy yeah? i was watchin with my good buddy from Pitt, we are both big steeler fans. hey there Mon, long time no text.
hello...hello... hello...hell...he..oooo
Hi BigEZ,
Sorry, I've been very busy reading every story I can find about the GREAT PENS WIN!!!
no biggie, just drinkin a delicious long island tea. ill be honest, i may be officially on the bandwagon. i really do like the Pens gear. go to the Pitt post gazette and penguins.nhl.com they tend to be the fastest to have stuff up.
Go pens!
Thanks BinOBA!
BigEZ - I've already ordered a bunch of caps and shirts
maybe I'll order some more ;-)
tht, i like the cap the coach had on a couple of days ago just the P on the front.
BTW, BigEZ, that's a very handsome ring you're sporting.
I missed that BigEZ; was it a Pirates cap? I've never seen a Penguins "P" cap
thank you, i seen kendall simmons today and told him that he has to bring his by and let me try it on. yeah tht, the pens coach had on a black and white cap with a capital P on the front, you could probably see it in his last press conference but i cant seem to find it online yet.
I got worms.
i assume it was a pens hat i know they have boxes of the stuff layin around the mellon he probably just grabbed it from somewhere. lucky bastards.
EZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
that's what we're gonna call our pet store. "I Got Worms"
Mon Diesel, I likey da sexy pic. wink-wink
would anyone like an LIT, they are mighty good today I must say.
shucks,thanks bigezzzz
how goes it?
what's a LIT?
Tar Heel, I watched the first period, fell asleep on and off through the 2nd, and then entirely slept through the 3rd. When I woke up, I immediately turned to ESPN to catch the score on the crawler. I was so excited for you when I saw the Penguins won!!!! I told you to think positively!
Michael - tapeworms? hookworms? pinworms (aka threadworms)? heartworms? roundworms? whipworms?
or just plain ol' earthworms?
you people should be asleep! all decent people are asleep at this hour!
What was I doing sleeping during Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, you ask? All I have to do is get still and that's all she wrote.
Are you saying you aren't decent, Monica?
LUV!!!
Thanks for your support!!! I watched because I believed. And it happened!!!
If you haven't figured out by now, I'm the biggest poor-mouther since that dead bahr fella
I figured that out awhile ago, Tar Heel. That's why I asked you about it the other day.
Luv, you of all people already knew that about me.
Don't feel bad, Luv, MrsTHT slept through a lot of the game too. She was probably watching Law & Order reruns in the basement. She woke up when she thought we were going to crash through the floor into the basement.
This thread sure is close to 500.
well, I've ordered my caps and shirts, read all the Pittsburgh paper articles, all the Detroit paper articles, and all the reports & stats at NHL.com . I suppose I should be decent now and go to sleep.
Mon D, that's an Long Island Tea which I just managed to drop my DirecTV remote in, now my remote is also delicious!!!!!
The game was on, though. That announcer got SO excited anytime anyone got close to the goal.
Monica, yes, I did know that about you.
well, Mon, I guess I can stay up a few more minutes if we need to get to 500
BTW, I can't wait for Monk in August. I sure hope they recapture the flavor of the first few seasons. The stories lately were getting weaker and weaker.
HAHAHAHA EZ! You did not.
I bet you're the most fun fella in the trailer park.
Willies in Brewton used to make the very yummiest LIT's. That is one drink that has a significant and swift effect on Monica.
No decency here. spell check?
You're a real Trooper, THT! High on your victory you're going to take us to 500.
I agree on Monk, but I'm still looking forward to the season opener!
but is it a functioning delicious remote?
Don't try that with your cell phone. I plunked mine in a tall glass of chocolate milk, end of story.
damn right I did, slid off my leg into the damn cup. still shakin it like a f'n polaroid....
EZ, you've made me thirsty. I'm heading to the basement fridge for a diet coke. Can I get anyone anything while I'm up?
that's sexy
yeah still working even thought it's surfing is slurred and can't change channels without swurving into the other lanes...
yep, Mon, you wouldn't believe how turned on MrsTHT gets when I go get a DC in the basement.
Oh wait, perhaps you were talking to EZ. ;-)
KA BOOM
LOL, EZ.
HA it's all you, THT!
ok, i'm done - I have to make sure Greg finds his way to bed.
Goodnight Hotties.
Wow 501 on Jay Boulware good work hotties
Alright, Hotties, I'm outta here. I just wanted see how Tar Heel was doing after his Penguins won the Cup!!
Have a great weekend!!
jhag!!! Long time no see. How are you and where are you?
Sweet dreams Mon!
Sweet dreams Luv!
wooohoooo 504 goodnight all !!!!
or 7 or 8 what the funk ever
I've been checking the blog erryday..slacking on the posting though..computer issues here and there...but I'm back!
Good night BigEZ. Rest well.
slacking on the posting not necessarily bad. I run my mouth way too much here.
Kevin Scarbinsky has a scathing article about UAT President Witt, referring to him as president of the University of Arrogance.
You can read it here.
Sorry if someone's already mentioned it. I just got around to reading it.
In the interest of fair play, and since it's heading towards 2 a.m. here, I'm going to let someone else have a turn now.
Octomom, Incisor, this blog is all yours!
wooohooo, i'm back pukin rally. not really. just mixed me another
twilight makes me feel pretty... is that weird?
BigEZ, I'm afraid that until Aero shows up, which could be in the next hour, you are going to have to take a lesson from George Thorogood and drink alone.
I've polished off my DC and I'm shutting down. Have a great evening/morning/whatever this time of day is.
Oh, and WARRRRRRR EAGLE!!!
yes sir. good night.
Morning Hotties
Congrats to the Pens and THT
Now, I'm off to put a hurtin' on 20 miles. Or, perhaps more likely the reverse will be true.
Y'all have a good day.
GOOD MORNING HOTTIES!!! Time to rise and shine. We're burning daylight.
Thanks, Norm!!! You are an animal! I hope you are the hurter and not the hurtee.
Happy Mark Sharpe Day to all the HOTTIES! T-minus 84 and counting til kickoff!
Well, Hotties, I've had my breakfast and I think I'll head to the library. There's some great reading at penguins.nhl.com if you are so inclined.
Nothing like all day meetings on a beautiful Saturday.
Holy !! .. 521 comments? Hello, good morning, and a happy weekend to all the hotties.
My apologies for not being here, Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest here. It's raining hard, and thus I get time to burn.
For all the smokers and non-smokers out there, what's the verdict on the tobacco regulations?
Bammer's been on probation 40% of the times in a quarter century. I think that should go in the football hall of shame.
I'm going to bet that EZ is sleepin' it off.
"twilight makes me feel pretty... is that weird?" This little EZ quote made me LMAO
I get to go for my second fitting for walking shoes today. I'm so excited. It's crazy the difference having the right shoe makes!
Wow, slow day on HABOTN.
Still waiting to find out when Penguins parade will be. MissTHT has final exam 8 a.m. on Monday, so it's highly unlikely we can go unless the parade is late Monday or perhaps Tuesday.
oh no....
Lache Seastrunk is engaged.
We need Cory Grant to stay in Auburn dang it!
Now we MUST have Lattimore and it would be nice to get Michael Dyer.
Monica, so Auburn is out of the picture for Seastrunk?
consider it slept off MonD.
We need to pull a Saban and give Lache's fiance a scholly
Well TarHeel, looks like the reverse psych mojo did the trick. But you need to be careful with that and use your powers for good not evil.
mon,
wth are you talking about? seastrunk engaged?
THT,
Fantastic game last night.
I loved the final flurry of saves that Fleury made... especially the last one.
I believe that ice hockey goalies have the most difficult job of any athlete.
It doesn't look that hard, but what they do is incredibly difficult!
Brethren,
We don't do reverse psychology in regard to UAT. The mark of the beast is not a temporary tattoo.
fleury was the man last night. he really redeemed himself after the 5-0 stinker the last game in Detroit. Oh yeah, my remote is still kickin.
Afternoon, HOTTIES! And boy is it hot.
MrsTHT wants all of us out doing yard work in 92 degree heat and humidity. We moan and groan about it.
MrsTHT: why do y'all act like you can't do anything?
THT: we're not acting
no more reverse psych here. MrsTHT killed its effect right before game 5.
Pretending to pull for UAT??? I'd choose the Carradine/waterboard combo over that.
Congrats on your remote's ability to swim, BigEZ. That's impressive.
In that case you need to harness Mrs THT's power!! Make sure the dark side does know about it either.
I can't understand people who say they pull for Alabama except when they play Auburn. How could anyone that likes Auburn hope for The Evil Empire to win under ANY circumstance?
depressed- NEVER EVER. Not in this household. Of course, there are no Alabama natives in this household.
well, I guess I'll head outside for a bit. Ugh.
Depressed, the Good Book would say sort "is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
Afternoon Hotties. 20 miles behind me, a big breakfast in me, a shower, and now a nice leather sofa beneath me and some fine HD golf in front of me. Not too bad.
John Daly's pants are AWESOME!
not really
The higher Bama is ranked, the better for Auburn. If Bama hadn't sucked butt back in 2004, Auburn would have likely been in the BCSCG.
Boring meeting vs. BBQ and Blues Fest? Hmmm. I am a dedicated worker for 90 more minutes.
Congrats, Norm! Well done. Speaking of well done, I think I'm just about cooked after "enjoying" some yard work. I'm going to take a cool shower and I've cranked the AC down. Then I'll catch up on my Diet Cokes.
Jet - BBQ in Minnesota? Next thing you know we'll be hearing about how you landed some flounder, tuna, and king crab out of Lake Minnetonka..
This has to be one of the slowest days in recent HABOTN history.
Not that my proclamation will do any good, but it will add a number to the post count.
I'd want to retire in Raleigh, NC.
Yes I Love Auburn. I've spent six years in Auburn (more than anywhere else) but I like Raleigh better.
Jet, THT- thanks for confirming my suspicions of these fans who claim to be Auburn fans but who also pull for Bama.
Steve- as usual, we seem to be on different sides of the issue, but I understand your point. But emotionally, when I see those evil crimson jerseys run out on the field, I want to see them be humiliated. Every game. No exceptions.
i just had some bbq from the orange beach, al firefighters fundraiser. not too shabby. glad to support a good cause. apparently they have been doing the bbq thing for 42 years. i didn't know OB had been a city that long...
and btw, i hate bammer!
Aero - we'd love to have you in the Research Triangle. There are a number of places where I'd love to live:
1. Auburn
2. Shenandoah Valley
3. Pittsburgh
4. Christchurch, NZ
But after being gone from NC for 17 years, we moved back 9 years ago and I can't ever see leaving again. It's home. How long before you retire?
Guess what chip chip--I hate bammer too!
Y'all quit talking about BBQ. I'm gettin' the cravin'
i pull for bammer sometimes, but only if it is the rope that releases the blade on the guillotine. there are instances when "pulling" for bammer is a good thing. like "pulling" for them to be stupid enough to openly buy some more recruits.
Well rats. Penguins parade is at noon Monday. MissTHT's final isn't over until 11. I don't think we can compress an 8 hr drive into 1.
I guess I could be better classified as an Auburn love, rather than a Bama hater. Until recently Bama has been totally irrelevant and for years I wished we would finish the season with a more high profile opponent. Bama being back on the radar can only be good for Auburn.
By the way, Matt Hinton at rivals has an interesting article on Auburn called Premature Assessments: Auburn's world turned upside down, one more year. There are some obvious errors in the article and it is a bit more pessimistic than I would have liked, but it is interesting reading.
as expected, the celebration in the streets of Pittsburgh was relatively civil. However, at least one West Virginian must have crashed the party. A man was arrested for setting fire to a couch.
Jeff Lebo is trying to schedule UNC to play opening game in the Auburn arena. That would be only the 2nd time in my life I pulled against UNC basketball. The first was when AU played UNC in 1985 regional.
The ONLY time some might perceive me as pulling for UAT is if a win by those people helps AU in the rankings. I however prefer to look at it as rooting for a loss by the other team rather than a win by the evil empire. Other than those circumstances, I hope they lose absolutely every single game, match, round, contest, whatever in any sport or activity.
Hot shopping- got my shoes - I'm now a Saucony girl
last stop on the shopping trail? Greg insisted on some tequila, Margarita mix and salt. hmmmm
Now he's cutting grass and I'm "taking a break" before I do a few chores.
Monica,
What did you mean about Lache? Has he committed somewhere?
THT.
I'd say another 20 years. Tag on the 3 years I need for my PhD, so I should work till 57.
Lache's has said he is engaged to Amberly Nicole VanNoy.
Hopefully she would like to attend Auburn. Wonder if she could qualify for an academic scholarship?
Why would a kid just going into his Senior year get engaged?
Very good question.
C'mon Mon, think about it...
duh Norm
As I recall, at that time of my life I gave some pretty serious consideration to doing the same thing. At least I thought it was pretty serious.
Come with me, my love, to the Lache, the Lache of Love. I wanna tell you, oh, how much, I love you.
cincy, if nothing else she should qualify for the "My fiance is the best running back in the nation" scholarship.
I'd put money on Miss Amberly gracing The Plains as a student.
Norm, I think we all should put $ on it, so to speak.
can we throw a bridal shower?
I feel it's a right safe bet. It's the 'suitcase lock of the year'.
Maybe they could get married at Toomers Corner, and fans could show up with no knowledge of the event and do football cheers. Would that be a secondary violation?
Has Amberly registered her patterns yet? I need to know if we should get the blue Porsche or the silver Porsche.
MrsTHT is considering the Mattel Football game therapy for my laptop. I best go.
Nothing to say really but for some reason I feel like just letting the Hotties know I'm still around. So...I'm still here.
THT,
I need you to become an Orioles fan. They are beating my Braves.
Hi Cincy-
Let me know if this ------->
helps.
GO O's!!!
Dawg Sports has a story called
"There Simply is No Basis for Believing Lane Kiffin Will Succeed". The story is okay, but the picture of Kiffin is wonderful. I keep looking at it going, really, that guy is an SEC head coach?
I really, really REALLY hate summertime yard work. I think it's time to move to a condo.
reminds me of the look Shula used to have on the sideline.
Shula tickled me. He was the only coach I ever seen panicking before his players.
By the way, I noticed that Shula's record at Bama has already been updated on Wikipedia to reflect the NCAA infractions. He ended up with an astounding 10-23 record at Bama. Remarkable.
THT,
Working perfectly! Braves now up 4-2 in bottom of 5th.
My Tom has been calling for us to move to a condo for the last couple of years. He so hates yardwork. We own a 2 bedroom, 800 square foot condo in Auburn that our son lives in and I really think Tom would be perfectly happy to move there after Tyler graduates.
check this link ya'll.
barry sanders jr. literally. his dad is barry sanders.
curtis luper played with sr. at okie st.
he will be a soph this year. 2012 class.
he is a freshman in the video.
barry sanders jr!
you guys have been blowing the lid off the HABOTN the last few days. i finally get home, post a neato link and not even salsa schmuck is around to torment me.
brent pooooooooooole....
Chip,
So sorry! Trying to pull my Braves through, but it is kind of hard when you give up 6 runs in one inning.
I did watch the video and he is an unbelievable runner. Wonder if there is a chance under the sun that we can get him? If this is his freshman year, I hate to see what he will be like his senior year.
I am sitting in a restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I'm thinking two things; One, where is Seantrel Henderson's house? Two, I hate UAT.
I'm sitting in my house watching my nice tv and I too am thinking two things: One, if Jet finds said house, this could be interesting and Two, I too hate UAT.
Ah the Braves...at least the bullpen hasn't made a habit out of meltdowns this year.
Do you smell that smell?
It's getting close...
I can almost taste it!
I hate bama!!
It's time.
New page smell.
