SIAP: Shoop had opportunity to replace Muschamp in Auburn
- Thread starter psuro
- Start date
We've been fortunate to keep this defensive staff together intact.
The position “would’ve made [Shoop] at or very near the highest paid coordinator in college football.”
"Both last week and this week, intermediaries from both camps were in contact, each time initiated by Auburn, the source told me. Early this week, Malzahn offered to meet to discuss the position with Shoop who is preparing the Penn State defense for its game on Jan. 2 against Auburn’s SEC stablemate Georgia in the TaxSlayer Bowl.
But, on each occasion, Shoop declined a formal meeting and told Auburn he was not interested in its position. This, despite a reported salary offer in the range of $1.5 million per year."

Not to split hairs, but I believe that he turned down an interview as opposed to turning down a job offer.
With Auburn making a late push, I hope Mr. Dioubate takes notice of Coach Shoop's actions and sticks with what we are building.

One school of thought is that Malzahn is heading a sinking ship, so Shoop could go to Auburn only to be a casualty of Malzahn being fired a year later. Another school of thought is that Shoop may be holding out for a head coaching position. Of course, he may simply be happy at Penn State.

How can they even recruit without a coordinator in place? Nobody can even say what system will be used.
When you are one of the leading names in the SEC, and have won a national title in the last decade, there is no need to prove that the system in place will be successful. It's just expected.
