Coaching Staff

Taking a look at the new coaches, it seems that Chizik is allowing them to talk to reporters. That is something that the old regime would not allow.

Too bad the old coaches’ wives did not ‘get the memo’ about the gag-order.

But then maybe Tubs’ gag-order didn’t apply to coaches’ family members calling on-the-air radio talk shows and totally making fools of themselves.

I had forgotten about that… of course, I never listen to Finebaum. He makes me want to vomit.

It seems to me that this new staff has the tools mentally to handle the press. The confidence to place themselves in the firing line that a press meeting can turn into exudes confidence in themselves and their goals.

If that one factor translates into good coaches then we are way ahead of the previous staff.

Now the question is, can all this entusiasm, and confidence be instilled in the players enough that they will buy into the program? After last year I think that the coaches have their hands full just rallying the troops if you know what I mean.

As far as CGM and being quiet on the offense, That’s the way I like it. There is probably no one person in college football that can adjust his offensive strategy to the strengths of his team. I’ll just say, there is no way Tulsa had the talent that is currently at Auburn and CGM did real well there.

Good Day and WAR EAGLE everybody

I think that Malzahn is mainly quiet right now due to him not really having an idea of what he will be able to do with who is in place. He sees the player on film but until you get a real time and real life assessment of the talent and their mental abilities to learn schemes, he probably doesn’t know what he will be able to do.

As far as the rest of the staff goes and their PR, I think that it will make them better candidates to move on in a few years. They are getting out there and speaking up and as long as they can handle themselves, that is certainly a step in front of an equally talented coach in line of moving forward.

is looking very good and is saying all the right things. As far as Malzahns lack of comments on the offense? I would say thats a good sign.
 
damn Mattco you just made me delete half my post on Malzahn…..I was in process of saying the same thing about evaluation and not opening his mouth until he had something to say. C’est la vie.

For a program that ESPN, CBS Sportsline, and others were reporting that it was a racist program for not hiring Turner Gill, we sure have loaded up on very talented black coaches. It will not be Auburn’s fault should those guys not get head positions in the near future. Chizik has made them part of a great staff, that is young and very talented. Seems to me that ESPN, CBS Sportsline and others can kiss my Orange and Blue rear. It shows that they will jump on whatever story they think can make a racial concern look worse than it actually is.

First of all, of course networks are going to make a big deal out of things. That’s what they do and it’s their job to blow things out of proportion. Yes, it is unethical, but I would dare say TV networks are the most ethical egoist entities of the bunch. Auburn did get a bad rap, and I would like to know how many coaching staffs have as many black coaches on it as we do. Furthermore, I would like to know what the percentage is among SEC schools. Whether anybody wants to admit it, I’m willing to bet that next year it will make a difference in recruiting. That’s just the nature of things right now, and it seems logical to reason the African American coaches will have an easier time relating to African American players.

With that said, the issue wasn’t so much about assistant coaches as it was the HEAD COACH. Auburn was a victim of the times, though. It just so happened that it was a national story here because it was in Dixieland in Alabama. Nothing was ever said about the other coaching hires among the SEC outside of Sylvester Croom and that commentary was angled in a positive light towards Mississippi State. Which, is a bunch of garbage if you ask me. Croom didn’t get the job done and it should not matter what color he is. In fact, Croom lasted much longer simply because he was black to be truthful about the whole thing. The whole issue was about the head coach, not the assistant. Truthfully, I wouldn’t mind of these coaches being Chizik’s successor, black or white it doesn’t matter to me. Honestly, there’s something about Trooper Taylor that seems like he’s the real deal. I wouldn’t mind him being the head coach here one day.

I knew that. How the hell did I forget that? Oh well, it’s been a long week already and it’s only hump day.

Although, didn’t Kodi Burns look great last year and we went starting Chris Todd instead? I am really excited to see what all of this talent looks like coming together. I’d like to know what kind of chemistry the coaching staff is going to have together. Fortunately, we haven’t heard anything about people being unhappy with each other yet. Though, it’s really too soon for that to happen. The engery at the A game will show what kind of chemistry this team has the POTENTIAL to gather.

Well, I thought for sure we’d struggle tonight in UGA. I’m pleasantly surprised at this solid victory. I guess the three’s were falling yet again eh??

Let’s get fired up
