hahaha- now someone saying..

We shall see. There will always be job openings.

Nobody on this board has a clue who the next DC may or may not be. It's fun speculating and discussing but end of day no one knows. More than likely be someone that hasn't even been discussed. Keep up the guessing, it makes for good entertainment

You want to wager all your Vcash that the next DC's name has been posted on this board before???

Yeah none of them are bad options. I lean toward liking Allen best

I thought Auburn was going to hire Allen until his defense got run over by Western Kentucky in their final game. Guess that turned Malzahn off.

I'd take Allen over Steele.

No. Allen turned Auburn down

And according to some on a pay board, Manny turned them down as well (some say twice).

Yep as well as others like Shoop

That's a lot of it. After Will went down everyone saw how slow our secondary really was. 240 lb RBs were running off leaving our CBs and Ss in the dust. Fix the speed and it'll help. Correct angles and it'll help. Put the young talent on the field and it'll help. There's a lot of ways to get a better secondary in the field and I expect our new DC to accomplish that. I wasn't impressed with Manny this year.

This goes for both sides of the ball and we would have a handful more W's these last few seasons, if our coaching staff used this philosophy.

And you know this, how? Do you know Allen personally?

Kelly turned them down, Shoop, Allen was a done deal then nothing for several days, insiders state he turned it down, Diaz turns it down twice (one offer then another for more money), then they end up with Steele. They were scrambling to find somebody to take the job. It's not rocket surgery to see what was happening.

Thanks for the articles. It's still not clear to me whether or not Malzahn turned him down. The first article said, "he wasn't good enough for Malzahn". He may be a great coach for us if we hire him, who knows?

By that point, Auburn was doing everything to keep stuff out of the media since they had 2 public turn downs. They almost had a dumpster fire of a DC search, especially if Steele had accepted LSU's counter offer. Really any one of Tucker, Allen, Thompson, the three mentioned the most would be really good hires. Each with a stronger point in certain areas but good defensive guys. Personally I like Tucker and Allen better. However would love combinations of Tucker & Thompson (wont happen I believe) or Allen & Buckley, which is what appears the more likely scenario.
