I have said I want Charlie Strong. But I would much prefer Gus to most of the other names being tossed around. I too will be shocked if its Gus. For one…I expect Auburn to beat UGA next weekend…further delaying and causing problems.
Still makes 0 senses to me why he would do such a thing, but maybe. This is screwy deal from the start. Heck, he could fly his wife to AR every day with what he is and will be making if need be.
If Georgia wins I think there is still a decent chance it’s Gus, but he’ll have to decide quickly. If not I think it will be Norvell - not buying the “ red flag” stories out there.
If CBB cannot win in the SEC West at Arkansas, why would any premier P5 HC want to risk a tour at Arkansas. I don’t see it. Suspect the Hogs end up with a younger, less resume-ed guy.
The only reason he would give it any thought I would imagine is:
He is always 1-2 losses away from being on the hot seat again-remember they fired Chizik 2 years after he won the NC
The AD is leaving June 30…he won’t know who his boss will be…have heard that Tuberville really wants it…would they get along? Or as part of this process does Gus insist he be part of the AD selection…could be a negotiating chip.
Having said that I do not think Gus was ever serious about leaving. He is trying to force their hand and get some iron clad job security IMO.
Those are 2 good reasons. Gus feels underappreciated. SURE the guy makes a ton of money. AD change. And me making the wife statement is true. Sure he can zip her home on a jet.
BUT what if Gus wanted to come home too? What about that Colorado do you not understand? Job security
Remember the 2 losses? Well they wanted to fire him then. 2 guys at Auburn want him gone.
