I can understand turning down Auburn. For all Gus's faults as a coach, sane fans would look at his record at Auburn and say it was closer to justify getting a building named after you than getting you fired.Quote:

He could consistently have a top ten team without leaving the state of Louisiana, and have a national championship team just recruiting regionally.
Additionally, Sark (Bammer OC) bailed on an interview and Steele (AU DC) is no longer being considered (per AU undercover)... Bill Clark (UAB HC) and Neal Brown (WV HC) are expected to interview...Quote:

Should be a fun thread.Quote:

You don't think Ole Miss is going to want to keep their recruiters intact? Some of them flipped out when Nix was almost gone.Quote:

3) They are competing every single year with a Saban-led Bama team that's put together one of the best decades in the history of college football, Georgia who continually will compete for the SEC East, LSU, and Texas A&M. And if you don't routinely beat them you get fired like Malzahn did.
Auburn is a high expectations job that routinely competes against similar or higher expectations jobs. You are in state with Saban, and the coach that just got fired beat him 3 out of 8 times, which no one else has managed to do. And you are constantly battling Bama, Florida, Georgia, and LSU for recruits and are the least resource out of those 5 programs. Auburn isn't a great job right now. Saban has devalued its potential for success. That's not an idea situation right now.

Lane wants to beat Saban more than anything else and his Twitter antics would piss off Bama and Saban. I could see auburn fans wanting that.
Kirby didn't take the AU job because he wanted full control of the program and they told him no. They do have some who like to meddle over there.
