as our new head coach.

He’s already talked to Syracuse, better move fast

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner_Gill

is the fact that I don’t think he will leave his team until after the bowl game, and that is January 3rd. That means he doesn’t start recruiting until mid January not giving much room to improve this class for this year. His name really isn’t big enough to draw recruits off of it alone without him selling himself to them.

He has won three national titles while coaching under the legendary TOM OSBORNE. He only turned around the worst team in div 1 and made them champions. Let’s get him.. Look at Urban Meyer, Bowling Green and Utah. I will take experience at Nebraska and Buffalo, under the tutelage of Osborne one of the best ever.

Get real he is playing for the National title in a month.

Bob Stoops is not going to leave Oklahoma for anyone. I think he has built a home there and enjoys where he lives. Now, if you want to go at least in that same direction Charlie Strong as the Defensive Coordinator at Florida isn’t a bad choice at all. After all, there was a time Stoops was a coordinator on defense at UF if my memory serves me correctly. Though with age, it’s very possible I might be mistaken in this matter.

Turner Gill would not be sad. I’m not sure how anyone could call him a joke. He has had success everywhere he goes and deserves the respect from fans to not be called a joke. I’m not saying he’s the best choice necessarily, but he certainly isn’t the worst one. I would love a new face at Auburn, I just want him to be good for us.

Now, big names should not be forgotten forever. I really don’t want the vaunted Jimbo, though. I am not a fan of his, and I think he would be a huge step down from Tubberville. If we’re going to really go after a coach in waiting as it were, Muschamp is our man. He is a great fit. Also, I do feel a bit bad for Paul Rhodes and he’s been thrown under the bus unfairly. Auburn’s defense did a decent job when one considers just how bad our offense was this year. I personally wished we kept him if we’re planning on getting an offensive guy. I truly think he was a good coach and he could’ve really helped the AU defense a great deal. Plus, are we going to keep Eddie Gran? If anyone should be kept from the Tubberville Era, it’s him most certainly.

Forgive my grammatical errors if you will. I realize I certainly made a few of them and remarks on my intelligence aren’t accurate after a few mistakes on my first post.

I take it that Stoops is your only solution?

Does anyone know when this interview will happen? Or if they have even set a date and time yet?

Will TUBBS coach again anytime soon?

Really? Are these the only options we have on the table? I think we should be able to do so much more. Its obvious that everyone is looking for the spread with a solid defense……what about Jim Leavitt from South Florida in the Big East.

With all the success Coach Tuberville had here in Auburn and the things he has done with this program in the last 10 years….. I really don’t think it will be long before he is coaching again.

I’m not worried about what Tubberville will do in all honesty. I think he built a good program at Auburn, but he got just over $5 million to quit coaching and just basically stay on the employment list at Auburn and not work. I’m not saying that’s exactly what happened, but it pretty close. Come on, we as the family of Auburn need to move ahead and help support our next coach.

I’m not stuck on Turner Gill, but I think he would be a good choice. He gives credit to his players, and he seems like a class act. He carries himself in a classy way, I’d like to have that here at Auburn. I grew a bit tired of the constant smirk you saw on Tommy’s face every week and his attitude that losing just didn’t seem to bother him that much. That for me, was the most infuriating thing he could do when Auburn was beaten. Still, like I said, we have to move forward.

Brady Hoke wouldn’t be a terrible gain either, though I’m not sure he has the skills of Turner Gill. Having said that, he’s still a really good coach. Chris Petersen wouldn’t hurt us either, but I wonder he can compete recruiting wise. When I consider his location, he doesn’t have a whole lot of competition to get recruits away from him. More than anything, I want the best recruiter. I don’t care about the x’s and o’s so much as the guy who can get the top talent in the state. Plus, doing it in a classy way is what I would really prefer-but, we’ll see who we get. Just please, no Jimbo Fisher.

I do agree with you. Noooo Jimbo Fisher. I really do like Turner Gill, but that’s not who I am stuck on just yet. I do think with all this stuff going on about black coaches in college football it would be pretty cool to have him here as our coach and win games and championships and be competitive and successful. No matter what the color of your skin is….
