We are about to see how full of **** he is or isn't.

 

[LandArchDawg]

Aubrun?

 

[Shmuley]

Si senor

 

[was21]

Hopefully he's learned his lesson about dumpster fires and on record as saying he has his last DC job

 

[croomin]

Manny's not that dumb. That could very well be a one and done seat if they stink it up next year.

 

[22yardpunt]

Pure arrogance if they do believe they could get him.

 

[57stratdawg]

Someone is going to be reaching in their pockets to keep young Diaz. Will it be Jacobs or Stricklands?

 

[was21]

I saw where Hugh say he wanted raises for his staff instead of him. Maybe Dan can simply give Manny some of his over 4 mil

Thought I read where AU hired a DC last week. Tom Allen, the DC from USF. Maybe not?
Edited: Just googled it and it wasn't ever officially announced, so probably not.

 

[RocketDawg]

Perhaps we should give whatever it takes to make Dan equal with Freeze, and give the rest to paying assistants. Seems like would be the noble thing for Dan to propose. If you're already making over $4M, what's another couple hundred thousand other than ego fulfillment and keeping up with the Joneses?

 

[was21]

If Dan is paid the same as Freeze, they would immediately raise Hugh $1

They are a bunch of pubic hair pickers.

 

[MaroonNation]

You would think Manny learned his lesson from following a Muschamp vacancy.

 

[121Josey]

Hopefully Jacobs. Muschamp made a little over a $1Million MORE than Diaz (~$600K). I don't want to pay Diaz anywhere near Muschamp money.

Let him walk, collect the buyout and move on.

 

[Bulldogg31]

What's a boog?

 

[Hanmudog]

Manny could be one and done at State if we don't get any better than we performed our last 3 games.
I am sick to death of bending and breaking.

 

[Sandman.sixpack]

I thought they were both making about the same amount. $4.2 million or something like that.

 

[was21]

it's fairly close

 

[philduckworth]

Why? I don't think he really deserves a big raise.

 

[RocketDawg]

Agreed. I'd like to keep Manny, but if he's making $600K he doesn't really need a raise based on his performance this past year. Our defense was weak on several occasions, and not even in the same league with the late '90s - early '00s.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Why? I don't think he really deserves a big raise.

Manny doesn't deserve a big raise. However, I think he is being paid around 200 grand under what the average SEC defensive coordinator makes. Unless our defensive game plan absolutely reeks in the bowl game, I'd say the man should be bumped to the $675 range. There are schools like USCe that were paying two guys 800k each to be co-defensive coordinators. Since we don't even employ an offensive coordinator, I don't understand why we aren't willing to pony up 800k or more for one solid DC.

I think Hugh Freeze is making around 200 to 250 grand more than Dan, and as long as he keeps kicking the listless hounds' arses in the Egg Bowl, Freeze deserves it.

 

[FreeDawg]

My phone autocorrected "Shmuley" to "ash mullet". That's better than what I was going to post anyway.

 

[was21]

Two or three hundred thousand here and two or three hundred thousand there, and pretty soon you're talking a little money

 

[Sandman.sixpack]

Al.com is saying both Tom Allen and Manny Diaz have interviewed for their DC job. I thought Manny promised Dan he wouldn't leave again unless it was for a HC job. Only been back a year. What's the deal?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Maybe Mullen suggested he interview.

 

[121Josey]

Money talks.

 

[Palos verdes]

Zero chance he takes another DC job. Last season's defense was more like a break before bend style, anyhow.

 

[was21]

No it didn't say that he had interviewed. It said that Malzahn had Manny and Allen in mind

 

[DancingRabbit]

No reported interviews. Marshmallow just making up rumors. Grovey post!

[dawgoneyall]

Why wouldn't he seeing as how Mullen interviewed for the Miami job.

 

[57stratdawg]

Keep in mind when discussing the possibility of Diaz leaving, Auburn is having trouble because of Malzahn potentially being on the hot seat in 2016.

The entire world, and for good reason, thinks Mullen wants out of Starkville. What is that going to do for us?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

They could offer him $180k.

 

[Sandman.sixpack]

Dancing Rabbit, you're even more naive than we thought you were! Maybe you've been in the briar patch too long. LOL
Here are excerpts:
"Defensively, as far as our defensive search, it's going very well," Malzahn said. "We should have someone hired in the near future." Malzahn's search for a coordinator will enter a fourth week Monday, but it appears the third-year Auburn coach has narrowed in on South Florida defensive coordinator Tom Allen and Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

The Gus Bus is already cranked and warming up

I seriously doubt Manny wants to be there 1 year and have to look for another job. But if he does, then see ya. Maybe we will have a defense with some balls if he leaves.

 

[MaroonNation]

Awbrin University fans. Short for booger. They like picking their noses according to Gumps.

 

[mcdawg22]

Bye Felicia. Does that mean we won't give up 550 yards rushing to BYU next year?

 

[FreeDawg]

 

[johnson86-1]

Why wouldn't he seeing as how Mullen interviewed for the Miami job.

I suspect if Mullen didn't ok it, Diaz wouldn't do it because it would guarantee him a non-renewal of his contract, and the defense this year isn't going to allow him to land in a better place if Mullen dumps him.

I'm guessing Mullen is at least ok with Diaz interviewing because this year's defense didn't make him think Diaz is irreplaceable.

 

[Junction John]

Have you met many AU fans? Of course they think they can get him.

They have a top tier program and we are beneath them, did you forget?**
