You should always apologize when you bump into someone. Just good manners

MB, I know you're just having a grand time this afternoon, but do you think you can dial back the snark just a little?

Probably not.

No, I didn't think so. You're actually a pretty nice guy... in person.

Your message board persona, not so much.

Ron Zook is available.

Bryan Ellis.

Jackie Williams was vindicated today.

How about Marla Townsend. She is great in recruiting, her players would run through a wall for her, her teams never have any problems, and she takes her team to a bowl (ncaa's) every year.

Time to think outside the box.

Quote:The process could be slowed, Mackin said, with UAB President Ray Watts out of town.

"I'm hoping that, over the next day, I can get with [President Watts] and really get a plan for the future," Mackin said.

Watts is out of town and no interim coach will be named.

It's kind of hard to name an interim when most of the assistants were fired or quit before the head coach bailed.

From the sounds of things, 19 interim student coaches were named at the meeting.

Mackin was caught off guard by this, not sure if he had a nice little chat with McGee a few weeks ago though.

With that said, I would wonder if Mackin had a short list of candidates.

He may have some candidates due to the last go around that he may wish to revisit.

I would contact Neal, Clark, & another local college coach, but if Mackin decides to make a similar move to a Haase or Norton option, that would be fine as well.

A lot of people just didn't see the McGee hire as going south like it did.

can Ty Longs grandad coach?

I hadn't thought about Clark he makes less than 200k at JSU

Gene Chizik

Guy can recruit and he is not as bad as his last season at Auburn indicates. He lost control after Trooper Taylor got upset about him hiring Loefler, so he lost control of the team. Plus, he still has a buyout from Auburn and he may really want to get back coaching, so we can get him pretty cheap. I think he is worth the risk can't get much worse than McGee's defense.

Chizik loses the AU money if he signs somewhere else before 2015, I think.

Mack Brown or Rick Comegy.

Not true Auburn just has to make up the difference. So if we pay Chizik x amount of dollars and his buyout guarantees him y amount of dollars. Then, Auburn has to pay him y-x amount.
