Head coach of Troy has done very well. Sun belt champs from 2006-2010. He played at Auburn and was an assistant there up till 1990.

If he couldn't beat us this year than he sucks

He would have more access to recruiting and a better fanbase

They're not bringing in an old as shite coach from Troy.

Auburn hired a coach 5-19 at Iowa state. Don't give me that shite. They could take him if they felt he had a good 5 years left coaching in him. Get him a great coordinator to be his mentor.

Auburn is going to try and get a coach that has proven themselves at a high level.

1. He's a million years old.
2. His last couple of years have been bad at Troy, a vocal group there want him out.
3. Auburn fans directly relate him to "Keep it down home, cuz."
Is this a serious thread?

ADs always think "we made one shitty hire, what's another one gonna hurt".

He's banned from Auburn since the Eric Ramsey scandal

Are you fricking serious?

Sounds like a great idea to me

Calling me a retard and asking if I am serious doesn't disprove my point. Try backing it up with a little substance behind it. Maybe give a few reasons why you think it was dumb. The guy won constantly when in sun belt and southland. He is only 4 years older than nick Saban, and has a history of doing good things with limited researches.

And I'm sure their AD didn't think they were making a shitty hire last time.

From NYT 1992,

Ramsey has identified the coaches as Steve Dennis, the Auburn secondary coach; Larry Blakeney, a former assistant coach who is now head coach at Troy State, and Frank Young, a former Auburn recruiting coordinator.
In the transcription of one conversation, Blakeney agrees to help Ramsey arrange a payment from Birmingham advertising executive Don Kirkpatrick, an Auburn booster. Blakeney has refused to comment and Kirkpatrick denies giving money to Ramsey.

Did thing ever get proved one way or another out of curiosity?
Posted on 11/21/12 at 12:13 am to sportsaddit68
Yep. Ramsey recorded the entire thing
Posted on 11/21/12 at 12:14 am to sportsaddit68
You don't start over with a guy in his mid 60's who's never coached at a high level program.

Your sports IQ must be on par with Jake Holland's jersey number.
Posted on 11/21/12 at 12:27 am to JDM1992
That's how u prove something isn't a smart idea. He gave me the evidence and backed it up. I didn't know about that. Auburn would never hire him with that.
