Does Auburn still have a chance to land the services of Coach Prime?

Personally, I hope that if he's picked for one of these 2 jobs, that Colorado's the fit. I could see Coach Prime and Drink butting heads for recruits in the SEC footprint and with what Neon brings to the table, he'd probably win a lot of those battles.
I’ll be holding the Q&A today because obviously tomorrow is Turkey Day.
I’ll be here the first hour just right here.
AFTER THAT I’LL BE WORKING ON THIS GAME PREVIEW and shifting more of my focus to that.
Just had to emphasize that for the people who think this Q&A is all I do on Thursdays and that I “disappear” to apparently sleep and fall behind on work😂🤷🏾♂️

I’m sure I’ll be killed for this but anyone close enough to the Kansas turnaround to understand if there are lessons to be learned by drink and crew? Right now leipold feels like a Pinkle type guy. Steady, consistent, not flashy. Drink feels more sizzle, less substance.
His record as Arkansas’s defensive coordinator is terrible. So far this year his defense has given up 452.4 yards a game (104.5 yards more than Baker’s defense) and he has had some benifits of having good recruiting classes from previous coaching staffs. His defense last year also had 2 nfl draft prospects that still gave up a ton of yards (379.8). Barry Odom’s defense here was generally terrible here as he took a top 5 defense and made it into a laughingstock that gave up 43 points against an FCS opponent. Remember? Thank god for Drew Lock because that team that year was hell bent on finishing 0-12. The thing with our defense this year is pretty much all the players on the defensive side are all transfers or Drink’s guys. Giving up 100 yards less than last year is the biggest turnaround that I have ever seen. Just need to develop Sam Horn and I think the ceiling will be higher. While I think the transfer portal will be important let’s not lose track at how important recruiting will be because what happened in 2021 will be an anomaly in college football with covid and the extra year.
Hi Tiger PMers. I’m home in Central Mo for Thanksgiving and really want to go to the game Friday. I am a little down on my luck financially and can’t afford to spend much on tickets. Just need two. If you can’t go I can buy your tickets and pick them up if necessary in JC or CoMo area.
