ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I wish they'd focus on the players and leave the coaches off of it. The coaches are our brand. I don't like it either as I think the players should be focused on more, but I don't see that changing anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go to watch players play. When you put it like that, of course we don't go watch the coaches coach. We have been putting a lot of emphasis on Guschamp though so I don't mind the coaches being on there. Rhett..... Well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go to watch players play. Lashlee, no. But Muschamp? We've been using him for literally everything. So it's only logical if you're going to put your DC on the cover, you have to put the OC too.

chimesAU 89 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Alabama has the most iconic coach in the game right now and he's nowhere to be found on their media guide. You know who is? The players...seniors to be more specific. God I hate that team but their media department absolutely destroys ours on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimesAU 89 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Interesting breakdown of all the SEC media guides right here: http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/ranking-2015-sec-media-guide-covers/ You want to know how many other schools prominently feature a coach on their guide? 1. Kentucky. They just-so-happened to be the lowest ranked on the list but at least they didn't prominently feature their coordinators. Every other school features players not coaches. It's strange to put coaches on something like this. I realize a lot of y'all think anything Auburn does MUST be freaking awesome but the sad truth is that our media department sucks big time.

It's not a huge deal for me but our media department could step it up a bit. This cover seems like a remixed repeat of covers in the past 5-7 years that were done. Seem pretty similar.

aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 This being a MEDIA guide, it highlights & markets how we want the media to see Auburn football this season. Our offense is by far our biggest current propaganda tool. Gus Malzahn is the poster child for that offense. Makes sense IMO for Gus to be front & center on it.

AU64 10,122 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Right or wrongly....AU has been promoting Muschamp since BEFORE he even got here and., of course, promoting Gus as the top offensive coach in the country...and has spread that message around about everywhere possible. This is a team where the coaches are much better known than the players....especially since we have so few starters back. Does not seem that unreasonable that the same theme would be continued with the media guide....at least for now. Not sure why so much negative emotion over something like this.
