Freeze - best "coach" of the three; would have Auburn rolling quickly. Elite level coach who's never had an elite-level job. Off field question marks are obvious and would be the reason why he wouldn't get picked (if its not him).

Cristobal - shows all of the signs of an elite program-builder. One of the ~5 best recruiting HC's in the country. Business like and understands what you need in the SEC from a mentality/coaching personnel/team-building standpoint. I've heard multiple people say that he is Saban's preferred choice to succeed him, but I don't think he wants to follow that legacy.

Napier - to me he'd be the easy third option of these options as he's less proven/less of a known commodity, but he has legitimately high upside and acumen. Has lots of connections in the region and strong recruiting history. He'd obviously be the cheapest option from this group, and he's the guy on this list who would defer the most "power" to the trustees/decision makers because his inexperience/youth means that he's more likely to be "mentored" - which I think is kinda dangerous.

Why is everyone doing this to themselves in this thread?

Unless Auburn simply gives up and doesn't play hard against MSU, Gus isn't being fired. AU will win 10-14 next year too.

Someone tell me why Freeze is an elite coach. He could beat Bama but never make to the SECC.

He coached at Ole Miss. The only way that program can make the SECC is if the SEC-West is in complete shambles, which it wasn't. Did you actually just ask that stupid a question?

Ron Sanders says he puts it at 75% that Gus is fired.

Guess Freeze is better than Jimbo Fisher. fisher never won the SEC or beat bama

Your logic is flawed.

Freeze is a good coach. Elite? WTf knows. Give him the talent and resources Auburn can provide and lets find out.
