Likelihood of Coaches Returning

Just as a general feeling or idea, which of the following coaches do you think will actually be on staff next season? Put a vote for as many as you feel are likely to be here after the dust settles.

 

If Golesh wants Garner at Auburn, he’s probably gone. I know Heupel is loyal, to a fault, but I just can’t see him bringing Banks back.

 

Eldarbee should be replaced but probably won't be

 

I picked everyone returns because I am in Hell.

 

I'm curious on Garner. I kind of thought this was his last gig as he wants to comfortable ride into retirement, not wanting to move again or start over at a new(ish) spot.

Elarbee at 100% is a disheartening reality.

 

If everyone returns in 2026, then I expect no one to return in 2027

 

Garner has family stuff that may affect his decision.

 

I’m good with cleaning house. I know Inge has done with with recruiting but his lb crew is confused, on their heels, late and guessing wrong holes too often. I don’t know how much of that is scheme.
Our DL was not disruptive either nor did we stop the run. Seldom did we win 1 v matchups and penetrate the backfield.

 

Everyone will be offered to return, and the only ones who leave will be poached by LSU/Florida/Auburn. We'll promote support staff.

 

I’ve equated it more towards Banks scheme with Lbs. Am I wrong or did we just have an enormous amount of depth made up of seasoned vets on the D line? Just seems like the rotation was not what it was last year.

 

Sadly, this is what I will expect until I see differently.

 

Flipped over to 99.1 this afternoon and it so happened to be when Bob Hodge and John Pennington were on the West/Ivens show and it wasn't Banks fault except for a few plays, y'all. We were young and lost too much.

 

Garner leaves or retires. Martinez retires. The rest are back.

 

Oh wow. Thats a lot of shit to be peddling in the age of the internet/YouTube.

 

Would love Pittmann back.

 

I listened in for a bit and Ainge was down hard on Banks

 

Consider the source.

I'm over-simplifying but they refused to really blame him.

My counter point is two things -

1. Even if we were young and not as talented, a good DC can still get more out of it that expected. That group was trash.
2. WE NEVER GOT CONSISTENTLY BETTER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR!

 

I got the hint Swain did too.

 

Who were all the young guys on defense? The one corner and couple of backup linebackers? They weren’t that young.

 

Apparently that was enough.
