Cam Newton Shares His Thoughts On The Auburn Coaching Search

During his podcast this week, former NFL and Auburn quarterback Cam Newton shared three traits he wants to see in Auburn’s next head coach. Per AL.com:

“Number one, find you somebody who can recruit,” Newton said. “You can’t go to the Kentucky Derby with donkeys. Need a stallion...

“Number two, I’m gonna tell you who else you need. You need to find somebody that other coaches respect, and he can assemble his coaching staff accordingly...

“Last but not least, you need to hire a coach that understands the SEC, man. You gotta win yesterday, coach. We ain’t got time for you to develop a way of going about it. You ain’t got time to introduce your culture. You ain’t got time for a fan base that’s been fiending for some type of something, for you to say, ‘It’s gonna take time.’”

Newton continued on that point, saying, “the time was eight years ago.”

“The people in Auburn been waiting in the Plains for somebody that can at least compete,” Newton said. “I don’t even wanna compete no more. Bump that, we’ve been trying to compete. We wanna win, man.”
