Cooper surfacing?

  • I just heard the guys on Sports Call saying there is alot of chatter now about Cooper being picked as our next DC.

    I've already been on record here as being very opposed to this hire so i won't belabor the reasons again.

    Though I am afraid...where there's smoke there is fire. I hope not.

    If true, I would be extremely disappointed in Chizik's choice as I feel he has really golden opportunity to make a home run hire here on DC. I believe he would squander that opportunity selecting Ron Cooper.

    And then we would be stuck with this decision for a few years or maybe more.

    It's just MY opinion that's all and my gut feelings about it which I have a right to express so there is no need to make sarcastic comments about my statement because I am expressing my one, very personal, opinion which may be very different than yours. Y'all have the same right, which I respect.

  • So far on this board I've heard stoops was a sure thing and now its ron cooper. I'm not sure who it will be but obviously ron cooper is a great position coach or he wouldn't be on the lsu staff. Mark stoops might be a great hire as well but a year or two from now we'll be looking for another DC because stoops is gonna be a head coach somwhere. Where as ron cooper could be a lifer coordinator if he's in the right situation because he's already had a taste of being the head coach. Several have mentioned he's a great recruiter so that would help. The only people we need to make a splash with is the young men who are thinking of playing at auburn and that won't happen when the announcement is made but when whichever coach is hired talks to the players. If you don't have a positive opinion then just keep it to yourself because really what good do you hope to accomplish by calling one guy a bad hire whether its a gut feeling or not? Do u think coach chizik is reading this board and thinking wow this guy got a gut feeling so maybe I'll reconsider who I'm hiring? How bout this do you think we should start a petition for the coaches you think would be a good hire? Your a fan just like me so support the AUBURN TIGERS no matter what because that's the only way you can help.

    That is the only drawback I see to Stoops. I, personally, would like a little more stability in the Coordinator position.

  • Eeeek - Looks like Cooper has been the DC for Murray State (one year), UNLV (one year) and Miss State (one year), rest of the time he has been a position coach. Last time he was a DC .. 2003. Hmmm.

    Agree. If we have a good year next year and there are as many vacancies in coaching as this year, Stoops would be gone and we'll be looking again. Unless we could lock him down with a 3 year deal with a big buyout. That might help.

  • Guys on sportscall seriously get their info from these boards sometimes. Wouldn't shock me in the least if they came on here and saw that other thread, and decided to put it out there. Cooper just isn't a good fit, and the timing of it would make no sense since we could've announced this much sooner if he was the guy. I've not seen any "insider" indicate that Cooper is the guy. Yet I've seen several that still say Stoops is. The timing of announcing Stoops this week would make sense because his buyout is cheaper, not to mention it would give him the opportunity to coach the bowl game. I'm still saying its Stoops. Whoever it is, I firmly believe they have already been hired we are just waiting to announce it. Which is why Ron Cooper would make no sense. There would've been no reason to delay an announcement if he were the guy.

  • "Though I am afraid...where there's smoke there is fire."

    You know how many times we heard that quote about the cam newton investigation? How'd that turn out?

    For the record, whoever chizik hires this time, I'm sure it will be alot better this time than hiring roof IMO. He knows now he needs a DC with a similar philosophy.

    Get your facts straight. Cooper has been a head coach for a total of 9 seasons. I'm not saying that he's a great head coach... those nine years have been at three different schools, (one of which was Louisville). But to question his qualifications is laughable.
