Let's see 5-o against Georgia's Todd Grantham ($750,000), Alabama's Kirby Smart($750,000), LSU's John Chavis($700,000)and South Carolina's Ellis Johnson($700,000)[Twice].<br /><br />Yep, that looks like it's worth a big fat raise to me.

He has just the right hard working, decisive, wholesome, fatherly persona that works well with Gene on this staff. He's actively developing his system, while most other OC's are just maintaining exiting systems (and this further stresses defenses who already have problems with the current version of the Gus bus), and he runs interesting plays which just makes everything more fun. <br /><br />He would be almost impossible to replace. If you look for someone with his leadership and decision making qualities that person probably doesn't run "somebody else's" system. If you look for someone who knows the system, you probably don't get the inventiveness and ballsiness (is that a word?). It would be a compromise that we currently aren't having to make.Marmothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587702763493049517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-51889422904654891522010-12-13T19:43:37.023-06:002010-12-13T19:43:37.023-06:00I wouldn't call it a huge rebuilding job.

He'll take it and that's to be expected.<br /><br />I am glad that he'll be with Auburn through this BCS game and will be there to help with the huge rebuilding job that will be required next year.<br /><br />After that, good luck Gus!<br /><br />Remember folks, when he leaves it won't be about money. He wants to try his hand at being a head coach and he wants that chance at a place where he has the opportunity to win. If it was only about money, he'd have jumped on the Vandy job today.MikePnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-73999992876872493402010-12-13T15:20:13.005-06:002010-12-13T15:20:13.005-06:00it doesn't matter how much other assistant coa...it doesn't matter how much other assistant coaches are paid.

Vandy's an excellent school and Nashville's a great town, but the chances for football success there are slim at best.Simmons B.
