I heard yesterday he is looking at Willie Martinez also. If he hires him that will be horrible.

He was excellent in his last stint at Auburn

Heard today that they were looking at Tom Allen at USF. I think Allen is a rising star but he has only been a DC for one year. He drastically improved USF's defense though. Before USF, he was Hugh Freeze's LB coach and had been with Hugh for about 7-8 years. Dynamic recruiter, high energy and is a very positive coach, unlike Muschamp. USF went from 71st to 37th in ypg allowed under Allen's leadership.

Would be a solid hire.

I think so because I know how good of a coach he is, but I think it would be perceived as desperate since he only has 1 year of DC experience.

He also took the landshark signal to USF. If he takes that to Auburn, there will be many rustled Rebs.

Seems like a perfect fit for us right now. We need a guy who is on the way up but will stick around for a few years, at minimum.

It is my understanding that he has two years experience as DC. One at Arky State and one at USF.

Dave Wommack was Hugh's DC in his one year at ASU. Tom was Hugh's DC at Lambuth for 2 years however.

I would be cool with Allen. Shown promise and should stick around for a while assuming he has some success.

If Dave Wommack retires soon, I hope he is available.

Lance will be the interim for the bowl game. If Gus is having a hard time getting someone to come to AU then Lance may get a promotion.
