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.

He would have more access to recruiting and a better fanbase

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".

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,

quote:

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.

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.

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.
