Heard this discussed today from a guy who knows the inner workings of high level ath depts.

He says he thinks Auburn is waiting out the storm and then will try to poach Kiff from Ole Miss in a surprise blow. That's why Harsin has not been canned yet.

Hey, it's already happened once recently, why not again?

It’s a bad plan.

Ole Miss has a good shot at being undefeated for the Bama game on November 12th. Kiffin’s not going to risk a potential championship season to consider taking a chaotic Auburn job. And if Ole Miss wins the Bama game, then forget it. They’ll be a potential playoff team.

So Auburn sits around waiting, twiddling its thumbs while other quality coaches are hired elsewhere.

I don’t see Kiffin as a legitimate candidate for the job at all. Rhule is my bet.

He’s be a fool to take that job. He’s going to land a blue blood job in the next two years

Kiffin likely wouldn’t do much better at AU than he is at OM currently

And there is much less pressure at OM. Plus all the coeds

I think Kiffin actually likes being at OM and I think he stays there awhile

We will be hiring an AD first so this is a guy making a guess just like all of us have.

They will probably fire Harsin after the game this weekend.

And I'm angling for Gisele Bündchen Brady. The result will be the same.

I'll wait for the official lists that can't be released until the search is done and also can't be verified after the search is done

Auburn needs to get off their lazy fricked up arse and go find their own coach and quit trying to poach other coaches from SEC schools

Breaking News

AU will consider Hugh Freeze and Lane Kiffin for their open HC position.

More to come folks.

My source tells me Hugh has requested more minutes for his cell plan in contract negotiations

Would be a bad deal for Kiffin. He's got momentum where he's at.

I would be shocked if this happens. He is at the flagship U for the state of Miss. Plus he is coach in waiting at Bama. Havent you been paying attention

Barely an upward move, that would be more like a lateral move.

I absolutely think we should go after him and make him say “no”. I don’t feel like he’ll come to AU because we have shite in our nest so much at this point but I absolutely think he’s they guy we start and exhaust all options with and then adjust if we can’t get him.

ETA: and Money won’t be the reason we don’t land him. We have plenty of money. It’ll be that we are the shite show that we are administrately
