Richt confirms that Auburn is talking with Searels

That Auburn would talk to Searels was inevitable. The AJC and David Hale both confirmed that they are talking. Barring Pat Dye Chizik offering Searels a coordinator position, I just can't see why he'd leave...now. If it were a more stable situation over there, I could see going home.

But walking into that snake pit at this moment in history?

Richt should be able to match almost any quasi-rational offer they make him unless they give him the Offensive Coordinator job. For my money, Stacy Searels is the best assistant coach in Athens since Erk left. That includes Wayne McDuffie, Brian Van Gorder and Marion Campbell. Ok, that last one was a joke.

Chad Simmons of Scout.com reports that Coach Searels and Coach Ball are scheduled to be in Bobbie Massie's home tonight. I expect the Searels situation to sort itself out pretty quickly one way or the other.
