If you are Auburn and you are going to fire him, why wait?

Congratulations to UT. I sincerely hope you guys hire a great coach who turns your program around.

A strong UT team is the best possible thing that can happen for LSU because of our games with UF and Bama.

i agree. with the high number of changes this season, they should get their name out there as early as possible to gauge interest.

or bite the pillow and be a shitty team one more year and hope to have less competition at coaching hires next season.

It makes me think there won't be a change at Auburn. Doesn't he have like a 7 million dollar buyout?

It will take way to much money to get Golden. He signed that new contract last year after the news came out.

My point is that IMO, Mora would likely opt to stay in LA and lord over the demise of USC than come to UTk and slog through the SEC grinder ......

Fischer likewiseis a pipe dream. Al Golden will never leave, buyout too large........

That leaves Strong. Maybe UTk can pry him away.

Buyout goes down if we wait a little while longer. I highly doubt Chizik has even a slim chance of returning.
