re: BowlJackson's Top 5 candidates for Auburn football HC in 2023

quote:

---

1. Deion Sanders, Jackson State
- would be a publicity and recruiting home run. Auburn would instantly be back in the top 10 in recruiting. He is a name and a personality that can control the boosters and the money, and not the other way around

Yea, go ahead with this. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY is going to control Jimmy Rane no more than Bobby Lowder was. Whn you are giving 20 mil to a school you are going to have a say. Tubs once tried to remove Rane as during a game Rane had moved to where the coaches stand and started giving "suggestions" on what they needed to do.
This whole Deion thing would be quite the contrary. There would be fighting between Deion and the boosters like never seen there before and the boosters always win at that place.
You have to have a coach that the brass respects but said coach can walk the line and produce results. Pat Dye was perfect in that spot. he had a good relationship, didn't piss off the brass, would "listen" to what they had to say, do just enough to keep them happy and won enough to keep them at bay.
