Defensive staff

[CrazyCajun]

I don't understand why you would think a guy who has never played safety in his life is a better option than your 2nd string safety who has played there and practiced there all season? Stop overthinking it and moving everyone around. Play your back ups, how can you preach next man up if you don't ever let the next man up?

Crawford and Worthy were a no go for the game. But your point is well taken, Peters stated there are people playing that probably shouldn't be on the field. That is an astounding comment coming from one of your defensive leaders.

I was thinking the some thing.... Thats a very telling quote.

Something everyone here need to remember....and the reason I do not care to post an opinion on any of this.....you can see the results on the field and I can piece together a lot from that.....but we do not get to see game video which is shot both from the camera deck under the press box and also from an end zone angle...we do not get to grade that video and we are not in position meetings with the players, we are not in the locker room and we are not in Staff meetings....we are also not at practice....all extremely important factors to getting the entire picture....

thank you, and i think this can be used to describe qb situation as well.

Is it just me, I personally think our 3 coaches that were on Auburns staff and got released when Muschamp was hired never intended to be here for the long haul. To my knowledge they were all still getting paid by AU when they took this job. IMO they are out of here first chance the get at being an assistant again in the SEC and HUD may be looking for a DC again this year. Just the vibe I get from that bunch.

They was released because they couldn't coach.

They were released because AU brought in a new coordinator who brought in his own assistants. I think if you can't coach it gets out before you spend 20 years in the SEC.

We have changed staff almost every year with almost the same results. Something else is wrong.

What coach wouldn't leave here for the SEC? Better yet which coach wouldn't leave and G5 school for a P5 school. Also ask Coach Willis how it worked out for him last year.

My comment was about football and football only. The difference in pay for football is greater than the other sports.

You are correct a D line coach will leave here to be a D line coach at a P5 school in the drop of a hat. That's a no brainier. The question is would Melvin smith leave as a DC to be a DB coach again.

Great question and I am really not sure. I think it would depend on a lot of variables. If it is more money and he is close to retirement, maybe so. If it the same money but he has more years of service in another state that could raise his retirement, then maybe so. If it same money and the other variables are even, I would think not. Like I said I really don't know.

Auburn is paying him the remainder of what they owe him minus what he gets paid here. He is currently making very good money, not sure how long he has that deal but I'm pretty sure it's at least for next year. I've seen enough good out of his defense to want him to stick around. He basically has played without his most dynamic playmaker for the whole season and took 7 games to get the other one healthy. It really feels like we have had more injuries this year than the previous 4 combined.
