Aubie has screwed up every coach hiring to date...

We have? Pat Dye? Terry Bowden coached an 11-0 team. Tuberville was a very good coach until Saban arrived. And while he left things a mess, Chizik still won the SEC and the NC. Gus also won the SEC and never had a losing season.

The common thread with all of those coaches was a strong start and a whimper of a finish.

Plus a rumor about Steele is the one that went to big money guys at Auburn to get Gus fired.


Sounds like he pulled a 2016 Orgeron

1. Athletic department is broke after covid.
2. Auburn is working on a Football only facility
3. Gus is owed 10 million 30 days after he is let go. 21 million total in buyout
4. The rest of the staff buyouts will cost more than double what they owe Gus in 30 days.
5. Steele keeps the staff. No buyouts and he promotes from within cause the defense is his defense.

That is why Kevin Steele will be head coach at Auburn.

Plus a rumor about Steele is the one that went to big money guys at Auburn to get Gus fired.


it makes sense, but how often do schools do the sensible thing?

Here is the problem with the logic in the OP: A broke athletic department is going to fire an avg coach in Gus, who has had some good years, with plans to hire a failed coach HC in Steele, who has never been good as a HC, but they are hiring Steele to save money due to Gus' buyout instead of just keeping them both.

Hell, I can't even keep up with that circular logic.

So why get rid of Gus, if those are the circumstances?
