UAB fans would Coach McGee go if Patrino gets the Auburn Job?
UAB: Sources informed me early this morning that UAB wide receivers coach Ron Sigler has been dismissed from the staff. Don't expect Garrick McGee to move quickly on naming a replacement. A source tells me that if Bobby Petrino lands the Auburn job, McGee could entertain an offer to join Petrino's staff a coordinator. It would seem odd for a coach to leave a head coaching job for a coordinator position, but Auburn paid its coordinators handsomely this year. Defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder earned $850,000, while offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler was paid $500,000. Both coaches were on 2-year contracts. UAB finished 3-8 this season during McGee's first year as head coach. At UAB, he earns $550,000 annually. The move seems unlikely, but could come down to whether McGee truly believes he can turn around the program at UAB.

He was already the OC under Petrino when he took the UAB job. Why would he return to the same position at a similar program? Plus he knows the best way to get a better HC job is to succeed as one at UAB. He's already proven that he can be a successful OC.

I think it would be a piss poor move career wise. It wouldn't look good to take a job and then take a demotion(even if a raise is involved) to go coach on another staff a year later. I'm not saying McGee won't do this, because I think he wanted to get the hell outta town as soon as he got to UAB, but I would be pretty shocked if he did.

No he won't, he is already a head coach and a couple 6+ win seasons will get him a better job. and that won't be hard to do in this conference. Bobby will hire his brother Paul to be the OC probably.

The question you're really asking is, is the Auburn OC job better than the Arkansas OC job.

Yeah. Maybe. A little.

Good enough to leave a D1 head coaching gig? Not IMO.

Either way, don't count your chickens on Petrino landing in Lee County just yet. There is a big part of the Auburn "fambly" who hate his guts.

I'm not very optimistic right now the way things are going with conference changing, but I think McGee would be making a huge career mistake.

If he does, then things are worse at UAB than I thought. Remember, he came AFTER the stadium fiasco had run it's course.

I'm hoping Pat Dye still has his drunken, senile fingers deep enough in the Auburn Family to land the job for his protege Neil Callaway.

RE: UAB fans would Coach McGee go if Patrino gets the Auburn Job?
AU will have a tough time finding a big name coach w/ the NCAA cloud that's hanging over it so no I don't think he'd move under those conditions. I'd imagine he's going to try to build his HC name here for a better one down the line. If AU didn't have the cloud hanging over it a longshot maybe he'd consider it w/ stipulations that make it different than what was at Ark (IE he'd be an actual OC not Petrino)

Anyone who watched McGee as closely as UAB fans have this season (interviews, press conferences, etc.) will tell you, I think, that he is a man who doesn't take it lightly to be associated with losing. No one I know thinks he is dedicated to UAB for an extremely long time, but I don't think he would let that 3-8 sit next to his name for even one year of being an OC again.
