If AU had any kind passing game concept, you would see a steady set of receptions per position on a consistent basis. For example: the number one receiver would be getting approximately 80 catches, #2 about 40, a TE about 40, RB’s about 40 and the rest to other receivers. CGM does not have a concept or game plan that dictates that he will utilize all of these in a game plan. Just my thoughts

What little I saw of Willis would lead me to believe that he is not capable of being a QB that would win in the SEC. As far as Cord, I would say that Dan Mullen has a better track record of evaluating QB talent than Gus. So therefore, I think Cord is the biggest unknowns and possible the best option for winning next year. Never underestimate maturity. I think that he might be the wild card

The problem with this logic is that the defense lost all of those games. With the exception of Ga, the offense did more than enough to win those other games.

What about all of Alabama’s receivers that have to block for their running game? Go back as far as Julio, they all have to block. Our problem is not that they have to block, it’s the passing game without any professional concepts to attack a weakness

This is just my opinion but in the overall picture of football and in particular the SEC, until Saban leaves everyone is playing second fiddle to them. No matter who auburn hires as an assistant coach, it’s not going to matter because the team across the state is getting the best players and currently getting great assistant coaches.

To be fair, he has also coached in a championship game, won an SEC championship and played for another.

I agree to everything you said. I would also add getting Davidson and Tega to stay is also important. The one play that I think sums up why Gatewood is the better player at QB than Willis was the speed read on a third down that he handed off when he should have kept the ball on a huge hole up the middle. It was the play that Mississippi State ran over and over against AU and wasn’t able to stop it. You could see Gus was frustrated with Willis when they came off the field

The score was 63 -14. Gus wasn’t going to run anything else. He was trying to end the game without embarrassing Purdue anymore than they already were. Just what little I saw of Gatewood, he is the better option between him and Willis.

I would say the offense won the Washington game. If the Huskies hadn’t have committed some costly penalties, they would have scored more points. Had a touchdown taken away on an illegal pick play.

Amen. He wasn’t the first and won’t be the last.

Yea. The good ole bell cow argument. Meanwhile, all the other sports suffer from lack of facilities or money to recruit. And by the way, out perform football in most seasons. Football makes enough money off of a poor product on the field and bad decisions by everyone associated with running the organization. How much money has been spent on paying off bad coaches? And the stupid scoreboard? And who’s decisions was it to and that ridiculous looking thing in the corner end zone? Can we not find some student in the architecture program to come up with something that blends into the overall appearance of the stadium? I’m sure they would do a better job

I think you mean redshirt freshman. And by sh** on him, you mean honest observation.

If Urban was remotely interested in coming to AU and no one was willing to pull the trigger, AU is dumber than I thought they were. I’ve seen boneheaded decisions but that one would top the cake.

Seems like everyone wants to think tubs was aces...he wasn’t even close. It took a botched attempt to have him replaced for him to put together a great year. Hated to see him hired. Just like when they hired chizik and Gus

First met Charles in 1982 and nothing has changed since then. Straight up good guy and always a good friend. In this day of PC, it’s good to have people like Charles to keep it real
