Wow. So you can fire a coach with no immediate backfill BEFORE NSD 1???

Is such a thing even allowed???

[Tex-19 2872]

Hugh Freeze come on down?

[taybo20 2825]

Auburn with more balls than Texas. Not afraid to pay 21.5 million buyout to try and make your program better.

[mdmost 43002]

My memory gets hazy the further away from it we get but wasn't Gus a possible candidate before they landed on Charlie? Gus wasn't an option because he was in the MNC?

That does feel like a match

[Pato del Muerto 52500]

Add it to the list of coaches fired after losing to aggy the past 2 seasons.

According to this board, every coach is a candidate if the hive mind allows it

[Tex-19 2872]

I'd imagine their list in no order is Freeze, Napier, Sark, Elliott

We are Texas. It would be uncivilized to fire our coach in such a manner. How dare you!

I doubt the Auburn AD has more than two.

I’d guess the $21.5 million came from a few sets of them

Auburn is his Dream Job No. 2 after Notre Dame.

As somebody pointed out before, UM chose Florida over Notre Dame back in 2005

Firing a guy who never lost less than four games for the last seven consecutive years. Real profiles in fucking courage here.

I’ll do it for 20M but not a dollar less

It's funny that you think the Auburn Athletic Director runs the athletic department at Auburn...

Wow!  So you can just up and fire a coach, even when you owe him money huh?  I wonder if Auburn is worried if they will find another coach to replace him.  I hope they do before next season, seems like quite a risk.

Auburn University (sic) exists to support a football program, not the other way around.

Good news is, they have an interim coach. Novel Concept from such a small school

Okay, the AU President. Whoever the hell he is

[TommyGufano 6021]

Was curious to see what high worth individual attended Auburn.

Tim Cook went to Auburn?!?! Wut? Doubt he gives a fuck about football, but I had him pegged (😬) as a coastal university kind of guy

[Dijon Robinson 1511]

God I wish I was so bad at my job that someone was willing to pay me $21 million to not do it

Quote

On October 30, Cook came out as gay in an editorial for Bloomberg Business saying "I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me."

Oh, wait, I was thinking of Tim Apple.

and have you seen the price of lumber lately? (although it is trending down now it is still way up high and demand is through the roof and expected to continue that way)

Just cause your pay a person a lot to do a job doesn’t mean they’re gonna do really well.

Yep. They aren't trying to keep up with Stanford and Berkeley.

[maninblack 7974]

Depending on the terms of the buyout that's a potentially cheap OC for our next HC

I mean, sure. Also - Auburn has a more recent MNC and MNC appearance than Texas - and is a program with far less money and historical success.

Not really apples to apples.

[Hiphopopotamos 20875]

Sarkisian, Freeze, Josh Heupel, and Mario Cristobal mentioned as possibilities.
