First day on the job and no orange? (Todd Van Emst photo)
So, VanGorder’s getting Kirby Smart money at Auburn. (Just wait ’til Todd Grantham’s agent gets wind of that.)
That kind of money will make a man say all kind of crazy things.
“I think Auburn has a lot of great things to present to a young man,” he said. “I look forward to being honest and up front about the opportunity that a young man has here at Auburn and what we think we can do in terms of their development.”
I keed, I keed, Tigers fans. But seriously, this?
It’s been awhile since Brian VanGorder recruited around the SEC, but that doesn’t mean Auburn’s new defensive coordinator is out of touch.
Indeed, says he’ll be wiser when he begins to visit recruits in their homes Friday.
That would definitely be a new leaf turned.
Not really sure any of that matters much. He’s not being paid a bunch more than Roof to be all warm and fuzzy with recruits’ mommas anyway.

I am envisioning his rockin’ orange bell bottoms (to move ahead in the arms race w/ SOD), a blue and white satin dress shirt (with only the bottom 3 buttons used), a gold rope chain w/ ramhorn charm and of course platform shoes.

Grantham.
LikeLike
I’m sorry but someone needs to say it. Bobo is a good QB coach but OC? No way. End of game epic fails for the past 2 season ought to be enough proof. If UGA is going to take the next step and contend again with Bama, LSU and, yes, Arkansas (which now has by-passed the Dawgs in the SEC) we need an upgrade at OC. Steal one from the NFL like we did with Grantham as DC.
LikeLike
I agree, but CMR will not get rid of Bobo. And I have bought into the “Bobo is calling Richt’s plays” idea. I do believe someone else is capable of mixing up those calls to tad to produce a more effective offense. However, this pro style offense is rendered useless without an O-line.

Don’t believe he will be on the plains to long, to many HC Vacancies coming up next year. dd in knox will be run out of town faster than slime ball slipped out. The Visor will be looking to retire with ncaa sanctions coming his way and lattimore being gone….. BVG is just there for a short while and probably already telling future recruits to hold off and follow me… LOL. Cheezy will be havin to replace another dc next year.

Curious if he’ll be able to jump back into the college game where he left off. The game has changed and from what i can tell he didn’t exactly set the pro world on fire. I admit though, it’s not a bad choice on paper for Auburn. I’m certainly going to be looking at that game a lot differently.

“I think Auburn has a lot of great things to present to a young man,” he said.
Translated: “What will it take for your son to come here? A ‘No interest/No principal’ BB&T mortgage? A ‘donation’ to your business or church? A few pulls at our special ATMs slot machines in Shorter? Or just straight up hush money cash assistance from the Chette Williams ‘ministries’?”
“I look forward to being honest and up front about the opportunity that a young man has here at Auburn and what we think we can do in terms of their development.”
Translated: “If you can maintain your spot on the two-deep for four years, you can enjoy all the privileges of being an honored member of the Auburn family.” “You can focus completely on developing your football skills with no outside distractions such as taking tests, going to class, going to the NFL, handling financial obligations, or doing time for your transgressions.” “We will be ‘All-In’ for you here at The University of Auburn University.”
