Home run, 'money not an issue' hires?

Auburn hiring assistant coaches as their 'Home run hire'? Granted, they are good assistants. It's pretty obvious Auburn would NOT spend the money to lure existing, proven, program building, Head Coaches. (too expensive: buyouts, long term commitments, large NIL fund, stadium upgrades,.etc ) BTW, besides the Weeklys at Tennessee, what other Husband/Wife or Wife/Husband tandem has been a success at the Power 5 level or any D-1 level? Who's the boss? LOL

Take Coach Pete off the Auburn HC search list. They name not 1, but 2 HCs**

Pay for the Malveaux duo will be interesting

Kate was the new 3rd assistant spot that was brand new
VTsportscaster • 06/06/24 10:33 PM ET
A little Freud stuff going on there? Call him "Coach" but call her "Kate"?
laphroaig • 06/05/24 01:27 PM ET
Coach Chris and Coach Kate?**
VTsportscaster • 06/05/24 02:18 PM ET
It says @CoachMalveaux and @KateMalveaux in the "announcement".**
laphroaig • 06/05/24 02:46 PM ET
That’s just their chosen social names…**
Brewing_Hokie • 06/05/24 03:09 PM ET
Nah. It means something. There's built-in conflict there for sure! :-)**

I think we know who the boss is 😀**
GCHokieof91 • 06/05/24 12:19 PM ET
I was hoping that Clarisa might get it

Surprisingly to me, it's not unheard of to have co head coaches. Tennessee
VTFan29 • 06/05/24 10:56 AM ET
UT also use to have Co coaches in women's tennis**
VTsportscaster • 06/05/24 11:29 AM ET
So this means Auburn wants to be like Tennessee?**
laphroaig • 06/05/24 12:24 PM ET
They do have Bruce Pearl, so this makes 3 former UT employees.
VTsportscaster • 06/05/24 02:23 PM ET
Both coming from Tennessee's staff

Didn’t Auburn have a previous nepotism issue?
Hockeydad • 06/05/24 04:17 PM ET
Clint Meyers’s son (also a coach) had a relationship with a player**
VTsportscaster • 06/05/24 08:53 PM ET
It's usually based on state laws about supervising your spouse
VTsportscaster • 06/05/24 11:28 AM ET
Shouldn't be a problem in that state. 1st cousins can legally marry

Best news of the day!!!**
VTChip • 06/05/24 10:47 AM ET
Now I'm curious if they contacted Pete and how that convo went.**
VTFan29 • 06/05/24 10:57 AM ET
I understand, but it just doesn’t matter
VTChip • 06/05/24 11:03 AM ET
Truth!**

Must be an Alfred E. Nueman when all is right**

laphroaig • 06/05/24 12:26 PM ET
Got it! Looks are optional if you dare!!!**
