Confirmed Blake Gideon now GA at USC.

[CQCKnFIRE]

UPDATE

Background: . Gideon spent this season as a graduate assistant working with the secondary and was elevated to his new role for the Birmingham Bowl after former defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson left to become Muschamp’s defensive coordinator at South Carolina.. He joined the Auburn coaching staff prior to the 2015 season. Gideon served as a quality control assistant on defense at Florida for the 2014 season, working for current Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, who coached Gideon for three years as a player at Texas. Gideon started 52 games at safety as a Texas Longhorn (second most starts in school history), earning honorable mention all-Big 12 recognition. A member of the 2011 Jim Thorpe Award watch list, he was with the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos during his professional career. A two-time all-state football honoree and a three-sport letterman at Leander (Texas) High, Gideon earned his bachelor’s degree from Texas in kinesiology in 2011, and was named to the academic honor roll several seasons. He was working toward a master’s degree in adult education at Auburn

So you think he is on field or same role he had at AU?

Gideon spent this season as a graduate assistant working with the secondary and was elevated to his new role for the Birmingham Bowl after former defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson left to become Muschamp’s defensive coordinator at South Carolina.

“He’s hard-nosed,” senior cornerback Jonathan Jones said, adding that Gideon has earned the respect of the players. “He gets after it and has high expectations even for a GA. He knows what he expects.”

Gideon, who played under Muschamp at Texas and started 52 games for the Longhorns, has spent the last two seasons with Muschamp and Robinson following a brief NFL career. In 2014 he was a member of Florida’s quality control staff and then joined Auburn as a graduate assistant this season.

The time spent learning under Muschamp and Robinson has apparently served Gideon well.

“There really is a carry over,” Jones said. “He was with Muschamp and T-Rob for so long that he kind of follows in their ways. He’s a good coach. He knows his stuff.”

While players said this week that they’ve carried on with business as usual since the shakeup on the coaching staff, the interim coaches have done their best to pick up where Muschamp and Robinson left off.

AU fans seem to like what he did getting the players ready for the bowl game.

Anybody know if he got a raise or any atta boys for the job he did with the db's for the bowl game? i am a novice fan that only understands so much but i believe the bowl game was the best i have ever seen auburn's secondary play. i know some say it was because the rest of the d did their jobs and that may be true as well. they still looked awesome to me and i am still kinda in shock. so i am hoping the kid or young man was rewarded for it. and lord i hope he hangs around as well.

Blake is your new ST/LB coach. That is what friends in Texas hear at least.

That not correct. The reason people are saying that is because it looks like that on google when you search him because he follows Coleman Hutzler on twitter.

I saw the same thing when i was google searching.

Not sure. Could be another LB coach.

So you're saying there's a chance!

So you're saying there's a chance!

Damn- beat me to it!

 

[Garnet chicken]

Lawing makes 1.4 mil @ FSU. I don't believe we will match that for a position coach.

 

[CQCKnFIRE]

So Lawing is still a possibility then?? Sweet!!

No his position was already taken.

C'mon, man. No way Lawing makes that kind of money. FSU's DC makes just under $600,000 a year.

I'm sure most people on this board would not get your comment, but it is a good one nonetheless. A groundbreaking court case that led to an excellent book that later became a great movie (Henry Fonda comes to mind).

I probably wouldn't know it if I weren't a history teacher.
We owe so much to people like this guy... and our Constitution (although some use if for perverse reasons).
But that's the way of the world.
