New coaching staff

[JMagana]

I know OK St. runs the ball very well but I always thought of them as a pass first team. When they do run it always seems it is on a delay or draw. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with that. It seems to me OK St passes to run the ball and Auburn runs to pass the ball. With the talent currently on campus I think I would prefer the latter.

Absolutely, that will also help us continue to get the Brown/Gray backs.

Do you think DC wants the same Money that the OC will get, just asking. You know that Coach Strong is the defense and runs the defense

Another interesting tweet from beingreal:

@tex09413171: Sources: Expect Texas to float rumors on DC while actually focused entirely on OC hire. 3 names back in play. None have the first name Shawn

Chad Morris buyout is too difficult and can be removed from the list, according to OB.

Makes sense to me. Strong is a defensive guru so it would seem less important than who we hire at OC.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>.<a href="https://twitter.com/BDavisAAS">@BDavisAAS</a> That's the best point about Chad Morris' buyout. If he gets a HC job next year, you're essentially paying it for someone else.</p>— Mike Finger (@mikefinger) <a href="

Clemson will have to reduce the buyout amount and that's very doubtful. Sounds like Wickline had a buyout amount added after we went after him in 2010 per Burton.

Since this is pinned, can we get an update in the OP with confirmed hires and links to their bios/info on them, etc? Thanks!

Looks like it's time for an update:

OL Joe Wickline (from Oklahoma State)

DL Chris Rumph (from Alabama)

DB Chris Vaughn (from Memphis)

RB Tommie Robinson (from USC)

I think it's pretty clear that BeingReal isn't all that "real". Has he gotten things right? Yes. After he's gotten that same thing wrong about five times.

he's a waste of time. Many have said that he deletes most or all the ones he gets wrong. What a joke if true
