OT: Gang, we have entered everyone's favorite part of being a boog - coaching fire/hire rumor mill

He was the OL coach at a smaller school and then BYU. Still a huge jump. I know Chip is good friends with his dad, I’ll be interested to see if he gets a job too in this whole thing.

He’s moving up pretty quick. Good for him. Seems like a good guy.

Kinda reminds me of when Spain Park opened & the BAD feud between them & Hoover. We had kids playing in a travel ball tourney in Anniston about that time, and two teams from those districts played in the semis. Rush Propst's brother was coaching the orange and black squad against the powder & black & man it got ugly. Went into several extra innings & Propst got booted out after the police got involved, kicking dirt in their faces & all. Can't remember who won, but we 10 runned them because they were totally spent before we got to play them. They had already beat who they were there for.
SIDENOTE: Pugh had decided to go to Spain Park like the Friday before/during the tourney, and that's what put it over the top.
 
Weird. Given though that Malzahn hired Grimes immediately again after Herb left, you can understand an argument that he wasn’t “fired.” Its obvious he was pressured out by Jacobs and co. Clearly Zahn thought he was fine

And somebody needs to share that with Corch Rice ASAP!

Luper moves to the top of AU's list

TCU co-offensive coordinator Curtis Luper has risen to the top of Gus Malzahn's wish list in his search for a new assistant coach, a pair of Auburn sources have confirmed for AuburnSports.com.

Auburn parted ways with running backs coach Tim Horton last week after six seasons.

Luper, who has coached running backs since the 1990s, spent four seasons at Auburn beginning in 2009. He reported to Malzahn, who then served as the Tigers' coordinator, for three of those seasons.

He recruited and signed the core of Auburn's 2010 championship team — quarterback Cam Newton, defensive tackle Nick Fairley and tailback Michael Dyer — while also dreaming up Big Cat Weekend, an early-summer recruiting spectacle that many college programs quickly replicated. He also formulated the Tiger Prowl, a barnstorming tour that brought Auburn to its recruits via well-appointed recreational vehicles and limousines that traveled around the region.

The NCAA later passed a rule banning those barnstorming tours.

Auburn's recruiting classes finished in the top 10 of Rivals.com's team ranking in three of Luper's four seasons on the Plains. The Tigers' Class of 2010 haul was ranked as the No. 4 class that year.

Luper left for TCU prior to the 2013 season and has been with the Horned Frogs ever since. He served as receivers coach for one season before taking over running backs in 2014. He has served as the Frogs' co-offensive coordinator since February 2017.

The Frogs have finished in the AP Top 10 during three of the past five seasons.

To land Luper, Malzahn will be forced to dig deep financially. Kenny Dillingham was hired as the Tigers' new offensive coordinator in December with a base salary of $500,000 per year. TCU's status as a private school means it isn't required to release contract information for its coaches, though it's reasonable to assume Luper makes more than $500,000 in Ft. Worth.
 
Kind of a stretch to give Luper credit for nick fairley. He committed and was sign and placed by Tubs

Pam would be the first to not give Luper credit for any of those guys if he wasn’t in the picture for the open corching spot. Would be a nice upgrade over Timothy on the trail though.
 
Isn’t Larry Porter’s resume better than Luper’s as a recruiter though? Not that it matters too much as they’ll both be on staff but I’m kind of in favor of just promoting Porter
