I think about 75% of the Auburn fan base is asking the same thing, and around 95% of Alabama fans. Under Saban, relentless, extraordinary recruiting is more or less expected and he's not going to be stopped, but Turner Gill was the one guy out there who Alabama fans though might have been able to at least slow him down slightly. The racial charges surrounding this are flat out ugly and not representative of the state or even the high majority of Auburn fans, and I say that as an Alabama fan. The guy was the DC on two teams that went something like 25 or something and zero. He won the assistant coach of the year one of those years. I sincerely hope that and his familiarity with coaches in the region are the reasons he was hired. Not because I wish him or Auburn any success at the expense of Alabama but because I'd like to think that my home state would not have such powerful people who are that idiotic.
The PR beatdown Auburn is taking right now is
severe even among their own fan base. If Auburn can't slow down the flood, this is going to set them back five or ten years.
I didn't know you were a Cyclone. One word of advice: get your folks to hire Turner Gill. In an ironic way, this may work out to his advantage: he knows that part of the country, obviously, and I think he is going places.
