That's beside the point though, a great hire for AU.

Me either. Did not see this coming at all. This blows all of the other rumored candidates 15 feet out of the water.

This actually isn't the first time VanGorder has returned to the SEC. He was South Carolina's DC for 17 days back in 2008.

As quickly as this happened? No. He was in talks with AU weeks ago for him to take the position hours after the Falcons lost yesterday.

No way. We should have hired Zook. We can't do any better according to some on here.

More info:

quote:

Now entering his fourth season as Defensive Coordinator, Brian VanGorder has seen improvement in his defensive unit following his first three seasons with the Falcons. In 2010, the Falcons defense finished 10th in the NFL in rushing defense allowing 105.9 yards per game, which ranked fifth in the NFC.

The run defense was not the only part of the defense that showed improvement in 2010, VanGorder’s defense ranked in the the top five in the NFL in scoring defense (18.0, 5th), turnover differential (+14, 3rd) and interceptions (22, 4th), marking highs for VanGorder’s defense during his tenure.



The Falcons defense improved each of his first three years and was top 5 in the NFL last year.

This news shocks the hell out of me to be honest. BVG is an NFL DC or a D1 HC...surprised to see him come to Auburn.

Very good hire. Auburn needed someone on the staff to get after the players, Roof is a good coach but when a player makes a bad play he will pat them on the back and tell them we'll work on it. Sometimes you need someone to get in your face, we lost that with Rocker and still needed someone else to help him out with the nastiness.

There were likely to be staff changes at Atlanta due to the fact that's their main problem in that not everyone is on the same page, not saying any of the staff are bad just that when you aren't pulling together it hurts the team.
