Would it suck? absolutely. But it's how coaching in football works. Start low, then work your way up. Cooper im sure wants to a DC somewhere. It's the next step in becoming a head coach and really hitting a big payday. That's why you see a lot of DC's or OC's jump to smaller schools as head coaches. Then if they do good bigger jobs open. Auburns a terrible place to go, but I'm sure he'd love the oppertunity to be a DC
In the coaching business, you have to move to move up. Les will be able to fill any vacancies with top applicants. He always has.
You do know that Coop was a HC at three schools? Louisville, Alabama A&M and Eastern Mich. Also a DC at three schools to boot.
Don't see this one happening. He has been there and done that and really enjoys it here. Kids at U-high, etc... He never really liked the stress of it all from what I have heard.
You never know, but most coaches I talk with now, they are looking more and more with stability within a program. These things along with their Families are coming more into play, money at times is an afterthought.
trust me, cooper is not currently a serious candidate for any role at Auburn it's just the silly season. (I'm in no way implying the man isn't qualified :wink
