I thought this might be along the lines of the "off the record SEC coaches" article below, where it was said of Auburn that:
1. They are the farthest behind bammer and uga they have been in "12-14 years" which I interpret as the immediate aftermath of the Tubberville firing
2. "at least the coach is not Brian Harsin"
As to 1, they were rescused out of that by Cam Newton, who mysteriously came to Auburn for some reason.
Good news...they can do that again openly this time.
But is there another Cam on the horizon? I doubt it. They caught bottled lightning on that one.
