Remember that Fisher & Malzahn have the same agent, Jimmy Sexton. Sexton is a master of playing off schools against each other to max the salary offer out. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew Malzahn was moving to Arkansas that he would dangle A&M to bid up Auburn or vice versa.

I think Auburn might well consider Dabo too. In the Auburn mind Dabo has beaten Saban, recruits very well, and runs a version of Mazahn's offense. They also know that Bama would go after him when Saban retires. Bear wanted Bama to go after Pat Dye and Auburn got him first. This is a very similar situation. I think the pocket books would open wide knowing that Dabo with two years under his belt at Auburn when Saban retires would likely tip the balance back to the Eastern half of the State.

I agree that Dabo would be a great get, but would he leave Clemson where he should have a lifetime contract at this point? Easier path to the CFP and all that. Money talks, but so does stability.

For Dabo to leave Clemson, Auburn gonna have to offer him Saban level money to convince him to leave that cushy ACC path to NC’s

The other thing about Clemson's appeal for Dabo: he could go 8-4 the next 5 years in a row and they'd still build a statue in his honor (as long as he doesn't lose 5 in a row to the Gamecocks - that would be a deal-breaker).

Dabo is a Birmingham native and most of his family still lives around there. If he left for Auburn or anywhere else it would be for a tidy sum. We'll see. Besides he's an SEC guy. He's a Bammer to be sure, but an SEC guy by birth, and by Alma Mater. They all come home to Momma sooner or later.
