The AuburnSports.com Rundown

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST [USER=954]@Russ47[/USER] reconvene for a show centered around THE BIG NEWS.

The guys discuss the Tigers' new coach, HUGH FREEZE, and assess his performance during the introductory press conference. Stultzy provides some insight into why this job is so important for Freeze and why he thinks this is a perfect marriage between a program in need of winning and a coach craving high-level success. Caleb weighs in on Freeze's approach to recruiting, which will involve a lot of Portal intervention.

What's next in terms of staff?

Also, the Iron Bowl was contested last week. Feels like a lifetime ago.

Henry and Stultz offer some critiques of the Fightin' Pearls' most recent wins against Northwestern and Saint Louis. Things end with a smattering of SHOUTOUTS for worthy Bunker contributors. 

The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Las Vegas. Check them out IN PERSON for delicious chicken or on the web at www.voodoowingco.com.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST @russ47 reconvene for a show centered around a bunch-a topics.

Carnell Williams earned his second win as interim head coach — a game that the guys think would have been an L without Williams in charge. Why has he been able to unlock so much potential from this team? In particular, why is the defense so much better with the SAME GUY CALLING IT? 

The guys also update the coaching search, which really is about determining when Lane Kiffin will be unveiled. It's unlikely that Auburn will win the Iron Bowl, but would Auburn people demand that Williams be kept in that scenario? It would be an interesting conundrum.

Football picked up a quarterback commit this past weekend. What was that all about?

The Fightin' Pearls are 3-0 with two games in Cancun upcoming. Caleb updates us on the Fightin' Coach Johnnies, who are 3-1 so far.

The show ends with an array of shoutouts. It was an outstanding week of Coaching Search Bunker.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a show centered around a bunch-a topics.

Firstly, Carnell Williams earned the first victory of his stint as interim head coach with a W over Jimbo Fisher last weekend. It's been strange to see what looks like pretty remarkable growth from a variety of areas during the past two or three weeks.

Second, the guys discuss the new FOOTBALL FACILITY and the wonders included within.

Third, the guys review what's happened so far with the search for a NEW football coach. Things aren't moving as quickly as people think.

Fourth, the guys review a busy weekend of recruiting. On the football side, Auburn played host to an array of coveted players from Atlanta and Miami. On the basketball, side a pair of five-star guys made official visits. 

The show ends with an array of shoutouts. It was a fine week of Coaching Search Bunker.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a show centered around new athletic director John Cohen's introductory press conference. The guy clearly has a plan for finding the Tigers' new football coach — and for the path Auburn athletics will travel during these next few years.

What do Cohen's comments about the search indicate about who he wants? Is he the guy to finally build a consensus among Important People?

IN OTHER NEWS, Carnell Williams has been a revelation at interim head coach. He brought remarkable fire and passion to the Tigers' sideline last week at Mississippi State. Can he bring the same intensity, and create the same effect, against Texas A&M this weekend? One thing is for sure: Seeing Carnell serve as head coach on the same field where he once dominated in uniform will be special. 

Henry and B-Matt also break down the Fightin' Pearls' first win of the season ... over George Mason.

The show ends with an array of shoutouts. It was a big week of Bunkering.

Bryan Matthews, Brian Stultz, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a show centered around Bryan Harsin's ouster — and the Boise State guys who were fired along with him. It was quite a day on the Plains.

Why did Harsin fail so spectacularly? Can Auburn learn from this? Can interim coach Carnell Williams spawn some meaningful improvement during these final four games?

IN OTHER NEWS, Auburn also hired a new athletic director. It's John Cohen from Mississippi State. What can we hope for him to accomplish when it comes to this coaching search he now finds himself capitvated by?

Not many topics today, but a lot to say.

The show ends with a cornucopia of shoutouts. It was a tremendous week of Bunkering.
