Auburn clearly didn’t research Cohens crazy coaching searches. Jans might have been the only one without drama. I think that was because we got lucky and Jans wanted our job a while ago.

I actually agree it a cohen search. But- not saying you- 90% of this board said he had nothing to do with it and it wouldn't be his hire. Either this is his hire or it isn't he can't screw something up that he wasn't in charge of. Which in fact I think he is in charge of.

This is a very good point, and while it certainly looks like a Cohen search, it also looks exactly like an Auburn search without Cohen. Auburn is plenty capable of screwing up a HC hire without the help of John Cohen.

But keep an eye on Brian Johnson. I know a lot of us liked him but what he's done with Jalen Hurts and his background in college has made him an interesting under the radar guy that knows how to coach the QB position.

I would honestly laugh for about a day straight if they came back and offered Kiffin $12 mil per year at 10 years, and left the confederates spinning in their tears trying to figure out how to hate him again. Would be next level glorious

This is the actual sticking point I believe between Auburn and Kiffin / Sexton...nobody wants to be stuck with another Jimbo contract. I think Auburn is good with 6-7 years, the UM 8 year deal was a publicity fallacy and already moved to 6 years, which faces problems with state just like the other times they've tried to get those longer contracts signed in the past. I think schools are gun shy going that long in terms.

A public university in Mississippi can only offer and employee a 4 year contract. So when he signs the papers with Ole Miss it will be for 4 years. How the Confederates figure the structure in the additional 4 years, short of setting some sort of auto rollover from year to year, who knows.

Could be or he is using it for leverage with another school. I mean Sexton has the majority of the coaches so he really has the best idea of what moves are really happening between schools and coaches. Maybe there is another opportunity for Kiffin somewhere we don't even know yet. Until it's official, nothing is official no matter what the media reports.

The lane train is stationed at Om and Auburn is not interested anymore, Auburn didn't think Kiffin was such a hot commodity now as OM does. OM allegedly got Kiffin the 8 year contract he wanted but it is circumventing MS State Law if it holds water, but why would OM care if they are circumventing state law.

Freeze could still be hired if Auburn wanted him but with all the emails the athletic department supposedly received saying they wouldn't be attending football games, supporting the program, etc. it looks highly doubtful that Auburn will go down that road. It's kinda funny it was said that the media contacted some of Auburn's top high school recruits about hiring Freeze and they didn't even know who he was but they knew who Coach Prime was.

I still don't understand why most these coaches need an agent. Seems like once you're established, you basically know what you need in the contract and a normal lawyer could draw it up

Maybe they just want for somebody, who has more expertise, to do the negotiating and dealing for them on a proposed contract to get the best deal. Sexton is not an attorney though.

I'm seeing some are saying Cohen spoke with Sonny Dykes after their game and he was interested 🤷*♂️

It's a Cohen search. It's always a circus.

Glad he's their problem now. Can't wait til he announces his newest "offensive savant" hire he made out of left field to prove he's the smartest AD in college athletics.

Is part of the reason why Auburn hasn't announced because they may be bowl-bound after all, or is that completely unrelated?

They're still choosing between freeze and Kiffin. Still working.

I think Kiffin thought he had Auburn over a barrel but losing the Egg and looking like a douche may have cost him. Word is Sonny Dykes has entered the Auburn chat.

A friend of mine worked for Jimmy Sexton for a number of years. His job was to market the client (let's say a Dallas NFL player for example) to local business. So, he would call a Dallas area car dealership and try and work out a deal for a vehicle for the client and in return the player would make three in person showings during the year for the dealer. Again, that's an example. But he worked on deals like that all year for all their clients. So it's not just negotiating a contract and they are done, it's ongoing.

He traveled A TON to try and work on deals and keep clients happy. It was pretty much non stop.

Ask Mark Stoops.

His agent got him an extension because he let it leak that he might be a candidate at AU even after he lost to f@cking Vandy.

They would take him right now.

Word is that he told them yes and then no. That is why AU is scrambling. They thought they had their coach until Friday night/Saturday morning.

To be fair, if you trust Lane Kiffin, you kind of deserve what you get.

Lane is using the change of heart and his kids as cover for waiting for another shoe to drop. I really think Sexton told him to hold up b/c some other equal or better opportunities were gonna open up.

Well at least on this story, the AU people on multiple sites are reporting this is what happened.

Based on what has happened so far, it is clear AU thought they had a coach. Now maybe it was freezus, but I can't imagine going after freezus over kiffin, but maybe.

Now that could be going on for sure. Oklahoma, A&M, and Ohio State fans are thoroughly pissed right now.

Ohio State's grief is only temporary. The team is 11-1. Granted, they had a poor showing Saturday agains Michigan but still, 11-1 is an outstanding season.

The other two have a right to be upset.
