It's Kirby's defense.


To be fair it isn’t about that. It was Kirby’s defense when Lanning was DC. But when Lanning was DC they fielded elite talent but looked elite. Like I said before Schumanns defense is littered with elite talent but fielding a so-so defense
Because his defense hasn’t been very good this year. This is by far the worst “looking” defense they have fielded under Kirby since they started their run. It may not be the worst statistically (I don’t know if they are or not) but the point is that the defense isn’t elite but is fielding elite talent. He doesn’t seem to get the most out of the talent he has.

Thats why he wasn’t seriously considered for the Auburn job at least.

guessing he also forked out for Dybansta.


Don’t think so. I mean maybe but I saw a tweet from him that said something along the lines of “some people just aren’t replaceable. It’s time for me to stop sitting on the sidelines and get to work”

Great hire. Really wish Auburn took a shot here.


Me too. He was at the top of the list for me. I’m thrilled with our hire nonetheless. But it’s an absolute home run hire for him as I’d seen his name floated for PSU.

As to what someone else asked about how many USF players we want anyway, they have a couple really good WRs and Byrum Brown. He is on record saying he hadn’t transferred to a bigger school because of CAG. And anytime you can get a QB who passed for 3000 and runshed for 1000 (and who almost accomplished this feat twice) you take them. Especially in the exact same system.
I love the hire. Absolutely love his offensive knowledge. Tennessee wasn’t the same when he left until this year.

The turn around he has pulled off at USF is nothing short of miraculous. And a 3000 yard passer and 1000 yard rusher? Yes please. With stats anywhere close to that out of our QB and we are looking at a 4th Heisman and 3rd real championship.
His South Florida team won 8 games in 4 years before his hiring. The year before he was hired they finished 1-11. He had them in a bowl year 1. They have been bowl eligible all 3 seasons he was their HC. He has produced 23 wins over the last 3 years when again they had won 8 total in 4 years prior to his arrival.

Oh and his QB… one of a handful of qbs ever who have had a 3000 yard passing season with 1000 rushing yards.

We hired a no nonsense communist born Russian. We about to roll

Why do you consider Sumrall to be the apathy choice


I clearly worded my post poorly. I simply meant that I reached the point of apathy years ago. Be it between having to work every Saturday to us just being terrible, I just couldn’t invest as much of my fall life around Auburn football as much as I’d like to.

CJS may be the next best thing since sliced bread. He could be our next Pat Dye or our version of Urban Meyer. But he could just as easily be our Napier, Butch Jones, Tom Herman, or Bryan Harsin2.0. There aren’t really any sure fire candidates. I’ll get behind whoever we hire until he gives me a reason not to support him.

Just for once in my life I’d like to see us make a truly splash hire in football like Bruce Pearl was in basketball.
There is probably less than a 5% chance it happens anyway. But it wouldn’t surprise me seeing him coaching somewhere else sooner than later.

Knowing our history, we likely end up with Sunbelt Sumrall being led by Neil Brown. Why swing for the fences when we can pick… well… Troy…

That point of apathy? Yeah been there for years at this point. After the cupcake games are over have been nothing but disappointment for half a decade.

There are young football fans that have never seen us make a bowl. Much less have seen us at our highest. The damn sec shorts “auburn fan experience” video is real.
Ive heard whispers from some of my family on the left coast that USCs Riley is being talked about as a very real possibility to leave LA for Auburn. Apparently he feels he isn’t getting the resources promised by the administration when he was hired.

But that’s no more likely than anything else. I’m in no way suggesting I have any sources. Just rumblings from someone who works at The Coliseum

He would immediately jump to the top of my list…

You serious Clark?!?

He played at UGA, was an assistant at Bama, coached at East Carolina then Wyoming, then Auburn?

He is a pretty famous coach at Auburn. Only the freaking field is named after him…

From someone who lived in Missouri and spent a lot of time in LA as a child/teen this is patently false.

They just haven’t been as funny to me since Matt Mitchell left. His channel is better IMO
You know it’s odd.. this is an LSU website on a SEC board… someone posts basically saying tOSU have been extremely talented for as long as they remember

And suddenly fans of said university come in trying to swing their dicks around while looking quite pompous doing so.

Goes to show winning 10+ games per year sure doesn’t teach humility.

But what should we expect from tOSU fans I guess…

Head Coach's staff.


Or HC

But my list even though it’s worth as much as a $2 dollar hooker on half off day

1) I am the odd one who doesn’t have a current (or ever) HC on their list much less #1. My #1 Brian Hartline. A lot of the top coaches (Lanning, Smart, Golish or however you spell his name) were hired as coordinators. Someone is going to take a shot at him soon, and I truly think whoever that is will be immensely pleased.

2) Brohm I loved what he did at Purdue. He took a true freshman Rondel Moore to a freshman All American season.

3) Durkin our players love him. Our defense is awesome. And mainly our players love him. He could retain most of the star players.

4) Jeff Lebby he actually has MSU decent this season. His offense is elite especially where he could get studs

I want no part of Dilly or Sunbelt Billy er I mean Sumrall.

Bill Armstrong


I went to high school with Bill. He was one grade above me. His dad, Jimmy was our high school basketball coach who had formerly played (for a very short time) for the Atlanta Hawks. Basketball has been Bills entire life. He eats, sleeps, and breathes basketball.

I love to see him getting the HC job at McNeese and would be absolutely thrilled to see him parlay that into the LSU job.

LSU has always been my 2nd favorite team. My grandfather went to LSU in the 1930s.

He wasn't alleged to be sleeping with male assistants was he?


Well if you look into it there was another former player on staff who left around the same time.

That has worked out just phenomenally for North Carolina so far huh?

True. I don’t understand how people can be SO successful in their professional life and make such boneheaded decisions behind the scenes in the AD.

UK didnt have Pavia.


Ha funny /s

Truth is one of those teams is on the best stretch of football in their 100+ years while we are in one of our worst.

Putting the last two seasons Vandy squads with the likes of NMSU and Kentucky is… well… dishonest at best

I don’t disagree with you the freeze has to go. The student section all but guaranteed that last night, but at least be honest with your criticisms.

There is no shame in losing to Vandy the last two seasons. They are playing the best football that school will ever field.
