No words. Prayers for peace that passes all understanding sent from my family this morning.

There was dissension, primarily around the idea that Stidham was already going pro and knew that coming into the season. Some of the players didn’t think he was fully invested. We had one player that felt that coaches were oblivious to his participation on the offense (turns out he was right). Then after our poor offensive showing in many weeks, some of our players on D were particularly vocal about their reciprocal “checked out” attitude. They would come into the locker room, sometimes after being ejected from the game, and had no indication of being affected by the outcome of the game. That got under the skin of some of the leadership on D. Sorry—this is truth. Now were we were sold hyperbole and exaggeration? Maybe. But this didn’t come out of thin air. Winning is good, losses stir dissension. Cubelic wanted everything to stay internal, and that’s probably a good thing. If your job is to report what’s going on, then I guess it’s up to the writer to stir his/her ethical ego to come up with the best plan as to what/how much to report.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

No, to be clear, I'm not judging; I am merely intrigued by the irony. The AD at Liberty is also the former AD at Baylor. Just not where I would have thought he lands first. 🤷‍♂️

Doesn't Liberty seem like an unusual fit for Freeze, given his most recent history? Anybody?

Sorry, Gaines Lanier. Not sure how my brain is working this morning

Spencer is the biggest dog in this. Harbert is next.

I truly believe you will have a much improved (but not perfected) outlook in the next 24 hours... If im wrong then I will need to find a new forum handle! 😂 Disclaimer for others: I've been right before--and things have changed before very quickly and I've been wrong. Either way don't forget to tune into the Days of Our Auburn drama.

He was told to shop himself with both tech schools--but alas...

1 more thing: the heart of the OP is correct, as I think Abw and doc4aday mentioned also...we all can give our 2 cents all day and be upset with our current situation, but at the very least we can be civil with each other, respectful of our different viewpoints, and ultimately life-giving in our speech/writing on this forum. War Eagle.

I know what you mean. I had a whole 24-48 hours where I was legitimately led to believe that Gus was Leaving for another program...so TIFWIW.

Here's the deal: One can love auburn/team and also be absolutely fed up with this head coach. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Also, separate Gus--the guy who donates money and really loves his job--from the job to win games. Gus is a great Auburn man, just not a great Auburn coach, IMO. This isn't even to compare ourselves to other programs as much as it is to say that we have to be able to beat the teams we should. War Eagle always. PS...Freeze is next OC.

I am only aware of Gus "gauging interest from his end via his agent to a few teams with job openings." I don't know which ones. I assumed GT and TT, but I don't have specifics on that TBH.

Chip is not staying. He is waiting to be let go. Probably will wait until after early signing to see what shakes down. Gus is talking to a couple of other programs, at the nudging of the AD. Surprise--not much interest. Looking more and more like we have Gus for better or worse through next year. If so, expect many assistant changes/scatter. I have heard no credible local sources to suggest that there was a signed contract with decreased buyout. That's the facts as of right now: 12/1

In actual buzz worthy news...whispers in Auburn say that GT is gauging Gus' interest. TIFWIW
