Not now, not ever.

He would be "jumping back" to the big time at age 60. His age has been part of other schools hesitance. Big time programs want younger guys (Urban is going to OSU at 47) almost a full decade younger than Bowden. I think Bowden just wanted to be at this level again and wanted to make a difference somewhere.

SMH, ESPN "Auburn Zips hire Terry Auburn as coach, source say" "Sources: Terry Auburn to coach Zips" That's all related to that SEC spin they have to put on anything. So they have to mention an SEC team as much as possible even when the article has nothing to do with the SEC.

That is so mangled. Auburn Zips hire Terry Auburn LOL.

You know, he just might .

+1

I share the sentiment that Bowden was one of the best available. Correct me if i'm wrong, didn't he spend some time with the Zips as an assistant? Anybody that experienced the Rubber Bowl trough's has instant street cred in my book!! WOOT Go Zips!!! Ku*k Fent!!! Yes, that's why i've mentioned it. He was our QB coach under Faust back in about 1987 Who was our QB in 87? I was 10 forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

I told you people, the hair part never lies.

Is it a coup to hire somebody nobody else looked at? I'm not saying it's a bad hire, just don't think you could call it a coup. Well you went from a nobody that no one had ever heard of to a big name successful coach that would have had a great career had he not been thrown under the bus by Auburn's Alumni.

Is this a coup for TW then? I mean he wasn't even on the radar, I didn't think it was even a possibility. Figured he would be looking for a southern school LA-Tech, Houston, etc.

Prove it.

I don't see it being over $500 thousand unless they got a big time coordinator or coaching rehash. Like a Narduzzi, or Zook/Mason. For someone like Loeffler I see 375-425.

88,000 and 12 wins in 5 years guarantee!

So, if we hire Mason, you are done "supporting" Zips football? Well I would assume he is also done "supporting" Zips baseball too.

Yes, people are jumping the gun. It is all based off of one tweet that said "he is mulling it over along with possibly pursuing NFL coaching opportunities". Which sounded to me like a good ploy to say "eh, better come at me with more if you want me".

I believe they meant figuratively. And I've seen some jockstrap holding resumes, and suprisingly there is some skill to it.

I voted no, still say no, because he had a 3 year contract. Why fire him when you can just let him walk away

There is no clause about 2 years. There is statement common in all coaching contracts, that if you are deamed to not be meeting certain criteria (failure to perform) the university can move you to another position. It just so happened that Ianello failed so badly that they had to exercise this after only 2 years. Its the only way schools can protect themselves from a bad coach. All contracts have buy outs and out clauses. If anything Loeffler is waiting to see how bad we want him (counter offer) and wheter Addazio moves on from Temple.

I'm in. Make it a Beacon needs to hire Michael Beavin full time as Zips Beat Writer and I'm on that too.

Awesome, because I already felt violated by the whole process.

Unbelievable TW...... You poisoned this coaching job so badly that people would literally rather do anything else but be our coach. More re: Loeffler to Akron...per sources, he is also considering taking a job with Philadelphia waste management. He believes he would have to deal with less $#!% there than at Akron.

A lot of coaches have their play sheet down their pants. Who has a pocket big enough for that? That is the absolute least of my concerns about a coach.

CK, I think our 28 day coachless period isn't even close to the record. I believe that the record for being coachless is held by the Akron Zips at 741 days.

Yeah I think Love could fill a major Hole for us.

I don't know... I've read Beaven's movie reviews and they just don't match up with what Georgie can cut and paste from real critics.
