  • Looks like the Boise St OC has offers from Florida and Bama. Guess we aren't getting him. No reason to lose out to Florida on him.

  • So help me, if Auburn hires Kerwin Bell I think I will flip out over it! Talk about underwhelming after waiting so long for an offensive coordinator. I don't see him as a good hire at all and I don't see how he'd help recruiting wise either. He has no big time coaching experience. I don't consider head coach at Jacksonville University all that great. Auburn can do much better, I'm not sure why Bell would be the chosen direction. I'd rather take somebody with big time experience. He may be great one day, not now.

    Unless of course......we average 425 yards of offense, 200 yards rushing the ball, along with maybe 30 points or so.

    I know you won't get excited...but haven't we learned anything about hires? We care about being excited when the team is on the field, not when they're watching the press conference on TV. I know you know all that, just reminding not to get too up or down about anyone we hire.

    Jim McElwain wasn't very exciting for Alabama a few years back. One year at Fresno St. One year with QBs with the Raiders. A few years at Michigan State when they weren't any good. He turned out pretty good.

    Charlie Weis was an offensive genius...until he wasn't anymore and a worse offense than we did this year.

    The hire will be, and can only be, judged once we see if we're any good.

    Okay I get you about McElwain but he did have some major experience. Malzahn had some major experience. This guy has no SEC coaching experience outside of the work he did at Florida. I would love for him to develop our quarterbacks and I know that's a big deal. But, I don't want Auburn to a new and up and coming coach's testing ground. We don't have to be a start for somebody we can be a destination job. This is a massive step for Bell. It will probably take him a couple of years to adjust. I don't want to wait a couple of years. I want somebody who's going to bring in massive production from the start. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be happy with this hire if it happens. I just see it as a bad decision myself. He'll have to show me I'm wrong until then I want someone else for offensive coordinator at Auburn.

  • why does he have to be a proven coach with big time experience? Just so you can feel good about the hire. A big time coach may not fit well with our system and philosophy. I trust whoever Coach hires is the right man for the job.
