He will just promote Chris Kiffin to DC most likely.

Could be good but if he is bad he will never fire his brother, so that’s a huge risk.

Take Durkin from us please. Although rumor is that he and Lane's bromance didn't end well.


Auburn fans are funny man. The defense is the only reason Auburn has been competitive the last 2 years and you want to kick the guy responsible to the curb?

You misunderstood, that's okay I should have worded it better. The ability to get it wrong is definitely there, but hiring the wrong person would be detrimental. There are alot of guys that would be very successful in this situation is what I was trying to get at.

Man, I hope not. That kind of nepotism is about the only that could derail this Lane Train.

He should be hired as an analyst for his year of suspension.

Pruitt has a show-cause until July of 2029. If anyone hires him, he is suspended for the first year. That shite ain't happening.


Not exactly. A school would have to show cause for hiring him. Basically petition the NCAA.

I highly doubt that. He’s going to want to make splash hires and use the staff money he’s been given. Promoting his brother would just bring a ton of scrutiny on the side of the ball where he needs help.

Sure, they would have to notify the NCAA Committee of Infractions in order to submit justification for the hire. Part of his show-cause was a 1 year suspension from all team related activities before July 13, 2029.

Jim Leonard is 43. Was the Wisconsin DC from 2017-2022. He left Wisconsin when they named Luke Fickell as HC, and not him.



Lane is 50. So i guess you believe Lane is to old.

If look closely; our D gave up the lead or tie in the 4th quarter to OU, UGA, Mizzou, Vandy and Bama. Our D was better than our O for certain, but the bar was very low. The AU program has had a losers mentality since Harsin and needs an enema that I hope Golesh can give it! I’m fine if he stays or goes. How did y’all like Baker?

The vaunted Jim Knowles defense gave up 500 yards to Rutgers last weekend.
The problem with his defense is that it takes time to learn. He had the same problem his first year at Ohio St.

I want this intensity on D. I wonder how Coach Boom has been doing.
