Coach Pelton Heading Home to Auburn

[Zeebart21]

_ Meh. I think its a bas clas kind of move. Auburn knew the dude just got a job. It's a bit of a dick move to hire him away two months later.


I wonder if he used a school car to go to Auburn. _

TL, c'mon man... seriously??

dude....

_ Maybe Gerald Broussard and we get a Houston recruiter!!!! _

Spoke to Gerald today, it won't be him. It will not be anyone from the previous staff.

Then Bob Marlin has no class, because we did the same thing with Kevin Johnson

_ Any ideas on replacements T? _

I hope Gerald Broussard gets a chance to come back on board. He is dedicated to our University and would be great for Recruiting.

_ Thats good stuff, T! Wish he'd have had a chance to coach at least on season here but this is good... I hope everybody is gone in the next 3-4 years...bring a new crop in.. that means we have had immeasurable success and reached heights we've never reached before and the coaches have moved on to much bigger things!!... Go get em Coach Pelton!!

Wow. Sorry to see this guy go so soon. He's obviously a very good coach & must have an eye for talent. I'm glad he isn't able to bring Justin Hamilton with him.

Cut that out Z. Gene prolly went back over this year's signees & saw how this guy stole the next Nick Fairley. Except he'll be a three year stud.

I will help coach the D-Line for spring if needed !

It's great to know we had a highly thought of, quality coach, but it still is a bummer that we lost him, without getting at least a year. Now doesn't seem to be a good time of the year to hire coaches, except if you are Auburn.

How as a recruiter and a coach can you talk about commitment, when you don't honor commitments you have made? Because it is just a business. I understand his motives, and it is not just him. It just always seems fishy to me when coaches hire on at one school, and then take a job somewhere else within months. I just don't like that practice. Maybe it is that all contracts in sports are meaningless and that bothers me. Oh well, time to move on.

A coaches first priority is his family, just like you and I. If they are willing to pay him $250,000 to coach at his alma mater, so be it. We are in no position to out bid SEC programs. It is the nature of the business, coaches can be terminated and bought out, and coaches can leave for better compensation.

Did Auburn have to buy out his contract? If so is this a financial boon? If not, why not?
