Man was I wrong. 30 years of mediocrity. Every conference has to have a cream puff and they are the in the running for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Cristobal's name keep coming up in these head coaching jobs? Oregon has top notch facilities and their 300 uniform combinations really draw in some talent. Seriously though, why Auburn over Oregon? Seems like a lateral move to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I can win a National Championship at Auburn. I don’t know that at Oregon. He is a Miami guy who has spent most of his coaching career in the South East. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been in the NC game once already during the playoffs and just missed in another year. I don't think Auburn has been close to the new Playoff System since it was started. Of course Alabama has been there every year except the last one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy and a Paul Johnson, Jeff Monken makes more sense. A good HC with a “gimmick” offense that can level tha playing field some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a terrible landing spot for Briles just because of his connection with the AD, along with the negative publicity that university seems to be a lightning rod for...

I don’t know that at Oregon. He is a Miami guy who has spent most of his coaching career in the South East. Looking at Recruiting Rankings this morning, and Oregon is currently sitting at #5 with Auburn at #44. There are currently five teams from the SEC West ranked in the Top 20 of recruiting with Georgia, Florida, and Tenn also in the Top 20 from the East. Meanwhile USC sitting at #13 and Cal is next at #24. I'd say the easier path to the playoffs would be with Oregon. You can't win it if you don't get there. We all know the conference in the best position to have a second team in the playoffs is the SEC, but I can see a 1-loss PAC Champion Oregon being in the playoff.

I just don’t understand why these programs like Illinois and Kansas pay money for washed up big names when they should be trying to find young, innovative guys to offset the natural deficit they face as a football program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
