Zero chance he gets this job


Dec 3, 2012, 11:50 AM

There's no way they'd take a gamble on him after having an off season like last.

He's not ready yet. A few more years in the cooker.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Then why even interview him?


Dec 3, 2012, 12:10 PM

I'm surprised, as I didn't think big-time football schools would think he was ready either, but they wouldn't be wasting time with an interview if there was no possibility.

He's an up-and-comer, consider it keeping an eye on him


Dec 3, 2012, 12:14 PM

I wouldn't be shocked to see him interview with a legit shot the next time the HC spot comes open. It makes a lot of sense to interview him and at least talk to him and get a good picture of where he stands right now.

Perhaps they'll bring him in as a HC in a few year after they inevitably fire whoever they end up picking this round.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They don't need a picture of where he stands right now if


Dec 3, 2012, 12:42 PM

they aren't considering him as a candidate right now. Again, I'd be surprised if he got it, but I think there is serious interest for the here and now.

Even if someone is not ready..if they are obviously good at what they do, no harm in either party talking.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ask questions.


maybe the SEARCH committee wants to get to know him

not sure who the comm is - but usually it's people who help schools do this.

going to put restrictions on their chances for advancement. It's been known all along that he would one day leave for a HC job. In my opinion, it's a little early but doubling your income has it's incentives. Like someone else posted, I think he's testing the waters at this point. AU-burn is about to do just that. He'd be walking into an questionable unknown. Good for recruiting, though.

NOT getting job interviews. You would have to be incredibly fortunate to have a highly successful coordinator that was happy to stay at your school as a coordinator. There would have to be special circumstances.

I'm sure Dabo understands, and hopefully he's putting some thought into who the next guy may be if and when Morris does leave. There's absolutely no way i would run him off just because he's taking some interviews.

I hope Dabo at least has a plan B. It seems like Morris is going to get a HC job offer very soon. Who does Dabo have in mind for a replacement? I hope we have time to go and land a good OC before all the musical chairs stop. I hope we arent left looking over everybody else's third and fourth choices.

i got a feeling Auburn is finding it hard to fill


Dec 3, 2012, 11:55 AM

this position. This NCAA investigation is going to be ugly and they have a very nosy former coach that hangs around.

that would make the reason for interview Chad.

Chad needs to call Gus to hear what a mess Auburn is.

I hope Dabo is looking for a replacement/has one in mind. Chad has also expressed interest in the USF job, so it's clear he thinks he's ready or wants out.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This can't be helping our recruiting....


Dec 3, 2012, 12:37 PM

The folks coming in can't count on him to be there as they grow. If he is going to be this quick to leave, then we should be finding someone now to replace him, and bring them in to at a minimum work as Co-OC. Since Chad has gotten so much publicity on our backs and is such a hot commodity, he should be willing to drop a little in pay to get someone as a quick back fill.

If that is not the plan, we should at least have a contract buyout. I mean, he is the highest paid OC in the nation, I don;t think that is asking too much.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Unless they back up the money truck, you are crazy to go to


Dec 3, 2012, 12:42 PM

Auburn right now. I live about 45 minutes from Auburn, and this is a rabid fan base, incredibly high expectations, and very weird and shifty board of regents (see Tommy Tuberville and then Chizik hiring). I would ask myself, what is the path to success? Short answer, beat Nick Saban and Alabama every year and go to SEC championship game. No thank you.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i don't understand why they don't go after Petrino


Dec 3, 2012, 12:57 PM

he's a head case but would be a surefire way to start competing with Alabama again. I'd say he would be better suited to have better behavior after his last public embarrassment.

To be holier than thou and not offer him an opportunity is just stupid. Somebody is going to scoop him up and get themselves back in the NC picture. IF Dabo somehow left Clemson thats who i'd petition for. If he would coach in the ACC then i'd be all about it. But that won't happen b/c Barker wouldn't let it happen.

Hope Auburn doesn't get him b/c we would not pick up any of their recruits but i just thinks it's stupid not to.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Petrino did more than get a little on the side


Dec 3, 2012, 1:25 PM

He used state money to get his spare piece a nice comfy state job under false pretenses. Thats a pretty serious infraction and a real red flag on a resume. He might not be able to get a job at a state school for a while.

What other business do you sign a 6 year contract to be paid the highest salary in your profession and as soon as a year is over you start interviewing with every job that comes available. The coaches world. What a sleezy unethical world they play in!

Quota


Dec 3, 2012, 4:14 PM

They probably need one more coach to foot the bill for the quota of coaches they need to interview. My hunch is they will go with either Patterson or Malzahn.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think its funny, here we are with the opposite problem


Dec 3, 2012, 3:45 PM

most programs have. When other schools are trying to swipe your coaching staff then that is a GOOD sign. It means we have something they want and/or need. If you are successful in college football then you are going to deal with this problem EVERY SINGLE YEAR. We should get used to dealing with it...

I understand he might want to be a HC, I also know he lobbied for the contract he has with the Tigers, if he needs time to go out looking for a new job, Dabo & AD should take his keys and give him all the time he needs
