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

Flea’d from tRant
From JGT on Luper...
-Gus made a relatively weak offer
-Luper countered with an offer including a proper raise
-Gus apparently balked
-Seems Luper, though wanted, is not in AU's plans from a money POV right now.
-Is this just Gus's negotiation tactic? Or does he really not want to pay $800k?
-guessing the latter
I saw it. Not sure how reliable it is but if true, it would have to help with recruiting IMG.
Damn. Not sure how this will work. Part of me thinks Gus is just hiring one of the most popular Boogs of all time to protect himself more
Good lord at the incestuous off season hires. Reeks of the GOBN. Whatever, after a 6 or 7 win season they can give these AU guys a fat paycheck.
I love me some Caddy and think he will do well at Auburn. Kind of bummed though to know that Gus will torpedo his chances of getting a better gig down the road.
Fvck, hate to see Caddy back at Auburn. One of my all time fav players, mainly because it was during my tenure at AU and we played against him in High School.
Gus will ruin his potential corching career.
Gus will ruin his potential corching career.
I'm just going to point out here that Kenny Dillingham (can't be a real name) has no Wikipedia page. The internet does not lie, this is a non-person.
Sorry, all that's showing me is the 2nd best corch in the SEC. Until AU wins 10 games or more with this non-person I'm just gonna assume "Dillingham" is just a nom de guerre for Kodi Burns. Found a way to get him up to like $900k when no one else in the SEC would hire him.
My bi-annual plug for Mike West, one of the best songwriters of our time. His wife Katie is damn talented at it herself.

He knew the real money was going to be in the XFL
So bizarre he could get an nfl gig if he didn’t want to recruit. At least I think he could. I wonder how much he’s getting paid
If I ever find out that Bob wanted to come to AU and we turned him down, I will quit being an AU football fan for a long time
He could get an NFL job, was my first thought! Unless the owners/investors said “we’ll give you ____ dollars to get the biggest name” to the Dallas franchise, I can’t inagine that it’s very much. I’d be shocked if it was a third of what gus will make next year.
guys, what halfway sane individual would come to the shit show that is AU football? There are too many people on the outside jamming their fingers in the pie.
Maybe not sane people, but a lot of crazy mvtherfvckers wouldn’t mind making 7 mil a year to suck at a job.
I would and I am pretty sure I qualify as halfway sane.
BUT, the answer you're looking for is BILL CLARK or JEFF BROHM. Overpay the shit out of either one of them and give them 99% autonomy, line up the backpacks, and GTFO the way.
Wait, you don't know? He would've come to AU after Bowden. Pat Dye (if I remember who it was correctly) wanted him, but...Auburn. Wanted a HC and not an OC because we're a bnch of stupid fuggin hicks, at least at the sharp end of the spear.
^^^^this is the problem^^^, the awebren riches wont GTFO the way and let the coach do his thang
the worst part is, it’s plain as day to anyone paying attention, but I guess they’re so insulated they either don’t realize it or don’t care... it’s Littlefinger’ish... they’d burn it down as long as they get to reign as king of the ash heap
this shit isn’t hard... there’s a very, very short list of schools with the resources and recruiting footprint to consistently compete for titles... Auburn is one of the lucky few, but too many people are unwilling or unable to see the bigger picture
we have the program they’ve built, they’ve nurtured, and they deserve
Rane isn’t on the Gus bus. He wasn’t happy when they gave him the extension.
My problem with Rane is that he is the author of a few badly executed coup attempts. If he is going to meddle and cause issues then he needs to step up and fully commit to it. Leaking info creating short sided tantrums only hurt the program when they fail. It is funny that he threatens and writes out the checks but them checks, they never seem to get cashed. I’ll admit that it is funny to watch him make people squirm but the posturing at the end of the day just leaves you scratching your head. He has become Uncle Rico talking about throwing a football over that there mountain at this point. /rant Probably just pmsing about still having Gus but oh well I said it.
Well looks like the Gusmeister just picked up another DUB, and the Boogs actually won a conference game in 2012. That'll change everything

Just read on AL.com that the boogs are losing Greg Brown to Purdue.
So Greg Brown leaves and we get Mgriff back again. Don’t think it’s an upgrade or downgrade but just sort of meh. Surprised Woodson didn’t get promoted
