The rumor out of Red Stick for about the last week is that Josh Heupel may be ready to make the move. I definitely think he AT WORST listens to LSU.Quote:

With all the HC changes, that might allow us to upgrade our assistant staff. There should be some available I would think.
I agree. I think we are in a killer position to upgrade some positions and staff. Couldn’t have drawn this up better.Quote:

I really think we are going to start seeing very few coaching moves within the conference. These are NFL jobs now. The grass is less clearly green between jobs and immediate expectations are going to turn off coaches from making jumps. Once you're in the door with an SEC job, if you're a coach worth a shit, you can showcase that with the way the portal is.
People can bitch all they want but NIL and the Portal have leveled the playing field and created parity. You don't have to go coach at a certain school to have a shot at a NC.Quote:

Durkin's trying hard to get the Auburn job himself. If he doesnt- he will have multiple suiters for his servicesQuote:

There's some chatter that Auburn is trying to get into the James Franklin sweepstakes.
he won't mesh well there?
Now Shaq is saying he has some very good sources telling him Saban and LSU are talking. Doesn't mean he is coming back but they are in the talking stages.
I wonder how much is Alabama paying Saban these days.
To not coach anywhere else?Quote:

That being said, our admin needs to branch out and get as much commercial/business $$$ into NIL as possible. Cohen didn't do this. Selman has made strides in catching up, but there's still more to do obv.
The future CAN be bright (if we want it to!).
I don't see from a financial model how this can sustain. I can see it short term, but to ask people to throw in millions without some ROI is unreasonable long term. Also for self made millionaires, this model does not really entice at all.Quote:

Replying to this post because it reminded me to ask this. But for anyone, what is this projected model beyond 5 years, or what benefits will boosters get for the contributions.
Auburn is trying to get in the anyone that will come to work in the asylum sweepstakes.Quote:

I took that to be the agent representing possible candidates, and I don?t think the coaches or the agent care if anyone thinks there is a conflict of interests. But by calling him out that idiot Guvna might have shrunk the candidate pool and at least made them much harder to deal with.Quote:

Rev share a tad over 15. Then there is clearly a need and we have some nil in top. But some of that will be for people that want it to go to hooos and baseball. And ain't no way we are coming up w 15 mil more much less 25 for footballQuote:

The other sports need to be almost fully NIL funded. Obviously we cannot do that because baseball is more important here than all but about two other places in the country but we just cannot be giving them very much at all of the rev share moneyQuote:

A couple of AU insiders have told podcasters that there is interest brewing with Kenny Dillingham. That would be interesting if true.
I don?t think that his experience there would leave any warm fuzzy feelings for the prettiest village on the plain.Quote:

They can. Someone will take the bag they are offering, not win enough to their fans liking, and be fired within 3 years. Sound like another SEC team?? It's Florida. They are literally the same program.Quote:
