But here are some reasons I think he will stay, Auburn can pay big money so they need a slam dunk, Allen has 1 year as DC and the bowl outing did not make him look good, so that would be a reach for Auburn at this time.

WKU and their 45 points on national TV will certainly make the Auburn tree-huggers think twice. Let's hope it's enough! Lose a bowl game, save a defensive coordinator? I'd take it, if I can get it.

Maybe defense played bad to make Allen look bad and keep him another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly disagree with this reasoning. By extension of that logic we can keep our coaching staff intact as long as we stink. That being said I suspect you are putting a positive spin on the loss and I get that (at least we get to keep Allen). Allen has a lot of work to do.

The fan base is 'fed up' with underperformance and it seems most believe if 2016 is a repeat performance of 2015 then the entire staff likely will get wiped out on both sides of the ball. Again, just conjecture, but something to consider is that should AU underperform next year Allen could be looking for a new job during Christmas in 2016. This was an interesting perspective from AU fans and perhaps could be an influence on taking a job with Auburn considering the current atmosphere there. Myself, Id take the risk.

If Auburn is paying all that cash, they will put on the thumb screws. They have learned after Muskrat took the money and parlayed the job into the SC head coach position.

Not completely sure, but I think his son is playing football. If that is the case Plant's coach has a lot of contacts to help his players get into the next level. Also, it's harder to pick up and move children in their senior year. Yes I know there are other factors such as the money etc. but this was just one that was not mentioned. So I thought I would bring it up as another possible factor in the decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
