Story up on Gene's Page confirms that Greg Knox, Auburn's former wide receivers coach has been hired to coach runningbacks. What do you guys think about the hire?
A) Auburn fans, by and large, hated the guy as a coach. So much so that they tend to diminish the fact that he was their recruiting coordinator and apparently a very good recruiter. A lot of this stems from the fact that their WR's have been so bad over the last few years and were given bad reviews on their route running at the Senior Bowl.
B) He is supposed to be a good recruiter and in a good area for us (Alabama).
C) Auburn fans proved how stupid they were by calling for Tubby's head.
D) You can't be too pumped about getting someone from Auburn's offensive staff - they were as bad as we were last year.
E) He is part of the infamous BBQ gang, who allegedly caused a lot of infighting amongst the Auburn coaches because of Tubby's loyalty to that group.
F) He coached WR's at Auburn, he will coach RB at State. Don't really know the significance of that or whether it is a good or bad thing, but he was clearly brought here to recruit.
G) RB coach is one of the least important asst. jobs. The most important thing you have to teach is protection and ball control.
H) All of this rationalizing I am doing can't be good.

we hired a career RB coach to be our head coach. It's really just now sinking in how many dumb things the Templeton administration did to handicap us.
As far as the hire, I think it's a solid one. He can recruit, and he has had some damn good receivers come out of Auburn during his tenure. And I for one, am hoping to see a bit less coaching (albeit BETTER coaching) and a little more playing. I think that is what Mullen is aiming for with the spread philosophy. Our players, esp. offense, were thinking too much last year and not having fun.
The philosophy seems to be get the ball to your speed guys in open space and watch them run.

But let me also remind you that he was not hated when he had Obamanu, Aromoshudu, Courtney Taylor and Anthony Mix running routes for him. Your point F is the one that confuses me as to why we hired him.
It was reported on football scoop that Fedora was interviewing him to replace Wilson, so naturally Mullen had to get involved.
hes obviously obsessed. he has contacted every commitment evry coach and every possible replacement coach. Where can i send him a media guide
usm has the same requirements you do. You even thought there was still such a thing as partial qualifiers, so that shows the level of your knowledge
"Flagship" university of Mississippi so what does that say for Dead Eagle U? Madison get in your beamer and tell "Jose" Fedora HOW LONG MS Teacher's College has been a University...bye, bye birdie!
