AUBURN'S WEEKEND in ATHLETICS

Last year's Tiger mantra was "Do What we Do", it seems that this year it has changed to "Good to Great".
What this staff is trying to instill in this young team is from doing some things good last season,they need to turn it up to doing all things great this upcoming season.
Short, sweet, and to the point, the new Auburn mantra will be heard a lot this spring, and probably into the fall.

Andy Bitter has some more great info on the practice session held inside Jordan-Hare stadium on Pat Dye field this Saturday. Here are the links...

Previously we looked at the offense and the questions surrounding that side of the ball that Auburn must answer, sooner rather than later. Now we will look at...

DEFENSE
Defensive back is a place with the most questions, and if all can remain healthy, the most promise. A virtual plethora of returning Tigers with experience are to be found at DB this spring. Safeties, Corner backs, and extra package specialists abound, so the question is...
Can Auburn get good luck at this position for a change and dominate the passing game defensively?

Linebackers, as we found out last year are a rarity, for the Tigers. At least until the fall practice starts, Auburn is desperately thin at this position. Even with Darren Bates moving to LB and Jessell Curry enrolling early, the Tigers are only two deep without much experience past the starting three.
Can the Tigers find a way to get the most out of the newcomers at Linebacker?

Defensive lineman are the real backbone to previous Auburn defenses. The legends that played here are numerous, and very talented. Including the coach at this position, Tracy Rocker.
Can anyone step up and dominate the way Auburn fans are accustomed to seeing?

Auburn has a chance for a really exciting and memorable season in 2010. Getting thru the spring, and fall without major injuries will be a welcome relief, and something Auburn has not seen in several years.
Here's to hoping, and praying for a safe and productive spring practice.

WAR EAGLE!

Questions -That Need Answers

Good morning and War Eagle everyone.
Today we will look at the most pressing needs at Auburn for spring practice, and ask a question of each, and then after the A-Day game we will take a look at whether Auburn addressed those needs or not.

OFFENSE

Returning two experienced wide outs is a huge plus for the 2010 Tigers, although that missing third receiver that Coach Taylor was looking for last season never really emerged. So the only question here is..
Who will step up and TAKE the third wide out role?

On the offensive line, Auburn is returning probably the best unit in America. With only the departure of Andrew McCain, the question here is...
What will the coaches decide to do about filling an empty right side O-Line spot?

At running back, Auburn graduated one of the best ever to play the game in an Orange and Blue jersey, Ben Tate.
Coach Chizik has stated in a press conference that Mario Fannin will get the chance to fill those shoes. The question is..
Can Mario Fannin become a workhorse at tailback at Auburn?

Tight ends are something of a misnomer in Gus Malzhan's offensive scheme. They truly must be able to block for run support, just not always the defensive tackle or outside linebacker. These guys have to be able to run fast enough to stay ahead of the play and pick out whomever is going to a threat and eliminate that threat, even if it is a defensive back. Plus the position requires precise route running, great hands, and the ability to be able to scramble around to help the QB if other passing options fail.
Fortunately for Auburn we have Mr. Everything as far as tight ends goes in one Phillip Lutzenkirchen.
The only question here is..
Who will be his back up?
Now for the question on everyone's mind.
It's a multi-part query, with several twists.
Can Cameron Newton win the starting QB job in the spring?
If so, Can Mr. Newton grasp Gus Malzhan's complicated offense by the time the season starts?
If not, Who will win the job?
Who will be the backup QB in the rotation?
Can Auburn win 10 games this season if Cameron Newton doesn't win the job?

As you can see there are a lot of questions surrounding this Auburn Tiger team. If you allow for injuries, and rotation, Auburn may still be a couple of years away from contending regularly for the SEC crown.

Tomorrow we will try and look at the defense.

Let the celebration begin...

Our friends over at Auburn Eagle have a great message board that is fun and entertaining. STAT, who is seasoned as a sports writer, and a fellow blogger, has this to share with all Auburn Tiger fans. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were but without it, we go nowhere”

With spring football about to crank up next week, this is the best time of the year to be optimistic about our football team. It’s the time of the year, we pack away most of our doubts and focus on everything that will make Auburn a better football team in 2010. For now, Auburn has yet to lose a game in 2010 and the sky is the limit for Gene Chizik’s second installment.
Forget that Chris Todd and Ben Tate will be missing from the offensive lineup because we have Cameron Newton and Michael Dyer, who will grace the Top Five of the Heisman hopefuls. Last year’s 68th ranked defense is all but a memory now and we would do best to forget the past. Auburn’s top 5 recruiting class is full of defensive stars, which should plug all the defensive holes from 2009.
The road to Atlanta runs through Auburn in 2010 and those professional players that don the dark pink across the state will suffer a long awaited pounding. Records will fall this year my friends and awards will be suitable for our players and coaches alike. I tell you now; it will be the show of all shows’ leaving in our path of destruction, broken wills and hearts of opposing players and fans.
Join now and avoid the wait for the bandwagon is upon us. There is no time to order hushpuppies because the race to greatness has already begun. Spread the word, this shall be the year of the Tiger and we won’t come home until the final victory is ours. You are either with us or against us, so leave the gloomy thoughts and prognostications at home. Suit up for victory or hide behind your excuses and doubt.
I must warn you, there is the formality of 12 regular season games, a conference title and a national championship to be won but we will be gracious in victory. Let those in the media question us each week only to bow down to our greatness when the final whistle is blown. There will be stories told for ages about this distinguished team that emerged from Auburn and it’s eagle of war that took flight to conquer the nation.

WAR EAGLE!

Man This Is AUsome!

The Strength of Auburn Football-Offensive Line

I don’t know if this falls under cautious optimism or just plain drinking the Kool Aid….
Auburn’s offensive line returns some of the best talent in the conference and maybe in the country. These young men are experienced, proven, and reliable. Let’s first look at who they are, and then, how having an experienced line helps Auburn’s team this coming season.

Looking at them from the Quarterbacks view, from left to right, we’ll start with left tackle Lee Ziemba.

Left Tackle Lee Ziemba  6’ 8” 308 Senior
Left Guard Mike Berry 6’ 3” 311 Senior
Center Ryan Pugh 6’ 4” 289 Senior
Right Guard Byron Isom 6’ 3” 291 Senior
Right Tackle To Be Determined

There are a number of variables here that we as fans don’t have first hand knowledge of. One of which, is how and if the existing group will be moved to make room for the open spot. It is possible that Bart Eddins is named right guard and Byron Isom is moved to right tackle.

And of course the usual suspects of incoming players, red shirt freshmen, and underclassmen that improve dramatically to fill in the open spot.
The one sure thing this coaching staff has proven, that they will play whomever is the best for this team.

How does an experienced line help the Auburn Tigers this season?
On many levels, some listed above, it’s a huge advantage for this coaching staff. Four starting seniors is the recipe for the making of a special group.

At the Quarterback position, knowing the linemen have been there and done that, together makes learning the job much easier. That’s where Auburn is, in the QB spot. Learning and executing the complicated, and often spectacular, Gus Malzahn offense, with precision and fierceness, is the order of the day for Auburn’s quarterback.

At the running back position it’s the biggest blessing you could imagine to have this group in front of you. You can bet this group of backs knows how valuable an experienced line can be to production. Look for another 1,000 yard rushing performance from an Auburn running back this season. Coach Chizik has penciled in the name of Mario Fannin as the heir apparent to Ben Tate’s spot, vacated by graduation. He will have to earn the spot though.

As you can see, the offensive line is a primary reason for Auburn’s offense to succeed this coming season.
Making things easier for all the other players to complete their tasks on each play, having confidence that these senior linemen will do their part.

The future is now! Auburn has an opportunity to excel on the field this fall; with all the right pieces in place a special season is ahead for our Tigers.

RECRUITING

Just in case you were wondering about recruiting...
It's an endeavor best taken year round by coaches at the college level, that want to get the best players/student athletes to their respective schools.
As of this writing the recruiting governance that is the NCAA lists Feb. 5th through April 14th as a Quiet Period.
By NCAA rules this means....
"the college coach may not have any in-person contact with said individual or their parents off the college's campus. The coach may NOT watch them play or visit your high school during this period. the potential student athlete or their parents MAY visit a college campus during this time.A coach may write or telephone them at this time.

Starting April 15th( I hate that date by the way), the Evaluation Period begins. We'll discuss those terms later.
I would expect to see the Tiger Prowl to start as soon as possible after the Spring practice ends April 18th. Last year the Tiger Prowl was a huge success, so look for bigger and better results this year.

As the future of Auburn's basketball program is now headed in a different direction, coaching wise, the search for a replacement for former Head Coach Jeff Lebo has already started. Andy Bitter has this on some potential candidates.
http://wareagleextra.blogspot.com/2010/03/look-at-some-potential-candidates-for.html

Lee Ziemba gets some love from Chris Low at ESPN.com. Here's the video link..

Chris also like Ben Tates future at RB in the NFL.
http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/9492/keep-an-eye-on-tate-at-the-next-level

The speculation as to whether or not Auburn would be looking for a new basketball coach ended rather quickly. News surfaced today and the school confirmed, that Jeff Lebo is no longer the basketball coach at Auburn.
Jay Jacobs anticipates the search will last a good while because some of the candidates on his already aquired "short list" are still concentrating on post season play.
Here are two stories, one from Andy Bitter at War Eagle Extra, and the other from Jay G. Tate at The Montgomery Advertiser.

There has been some healthy discussion going on all over Auburn's sports blogs. There is an anticipation of what is to happen next with Auburn's Men's basketball program.
The only way Jacobs hires another Roundball Coach... Is if one were to suddenly appear, and have an interest in Auburn. Someone like The Rifleman..

http://wareagleextra.blogspot.com/2010/03/sec-legend-chuck-person-speaks-wouldnt.html

I would think it would take serious money to get any respectable basketball coach. The question is will Auburn spend the money?
Question number two is, has Lebo been promised another year, the first in the new arena? I could see the powers that be thinking the old B/E being a deterrent to recruiting. Jacobs has said so himself. So, why wouldn’t he promise Lebo another year, especially after he pulled in his best recruiting class this past time?

The dream exists in Auburn fans minds that "we" can have a Championship team this coming season. This of course is possible, but highly unlikely. It would seem to be an unrealistic expectation to make the jump into the National spotlight after just one and a half recruiting classes this staff has assmbled.
Auburn fans would be wise to remember that most of last years class was recruited by the former coaching staff.
Still, this coaching staff that Coach Chizik has employed has all the right characteristics to get the most from their players.
It's nice to dream, that's our job as fans
The key will be what Coach Chizik and his staff will do for an encore on the recruiting front in February of 2011.
The most pressing needs for the '11 class will be Offensive, and Defensive linemen. Here's my list of where Auburn needs to fill in for graduating players, and attrition. The numbers go like this...

Offensive Line - 4
Defensive Line - 6
Linebackers - 3
Defensive Backs and/or Safties - 3
Running Backs - 3
Quarterbacks - 3
Wide Recievers/Tightends - 3
Athletes - 3

I know the number exceeds 25, alas it is till within the 28 allowed by the SEC
Let's hear what you think.

Coach Luper was on the radio with Dunnaway and Brown discussing the upcoming Big Cat Weekend. He left no doubt that the staff has been "thoroughly educated" in the NCAA rules governing an event such as this.
This year's event will be bigger and better than last year with more potential student athlete's participating. The details are a secret of course, and if Coach Chizik wants the media to know the itinerary, Coach Chizik will be the one to inform them. A rather polite way of refusing to divulge the confidential stuff, huh?

This is the time of year we are just waiting for some kind of football news, about our beloved Tigers. Just a few years ago most of us had not considered giving recruiting any thought. Now it seems, that each day is recruiting day, and the coaching staffs that don't take advantage of the times allowed by the NCAA, well, they get left behind.
recruiting is the lifeblood of any program. the schools that do the best, are usually the ones with the best teams year in and year out.
