Isn’t there a old thread that can be resurrected for the Cam Newton discussion. I bet it has been discussed before. If he is still secretly on the team, Gus is a moron for not playing him more and I bet he goes to the NFL this year. Now, who else goes pro other than Stidham and Dean?

35 AU to 14. AU surprises and dominates the game! Gives people hope! Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

Thing that gets me is that there a lot of other schools besides AL, Georgia and Clemson that manage to have good o lines. People act like there is no other players but the ones they get. A good evaluater can find guys to fill the positions and then DEVELOP them. Should never be this low on talented o lineman. May not have guys ready out of high school but should have Juniors and Senior ready to go. If you get a great young guy then that is just gravy.

I still would like them to clam every National championship AU has a right to and honor those teams. Then use this to brand AU with its true winning history. One of the smarter things bammer did back in the day.

Stidham will play 100% of the game because Gus needs to look as good as possible to try and win back some of the fan base. He is calling the plays so if it looks bad with a inexperienced QB, everyone will be up in arms as usual. However, if they have a great offenseive game he may have some wondering if Gus was not all to blame for some of the bad play calling. Also a chance at a good sales pitch for these recruits.

I wonder if it was Bentley why it has taken this long. Also, if Horton is supposedly getting interviewed every year for these smaller HC jobs, why has he not tried to become an OC. If not good enough for a OC job why would you hire him to be a HC? I’ll hang up and listen.

Any body know anything about Mr. Kennedy?

Other - If he even had a chance Leath allowed it to be taken away. Leath should be on the hot seat as much as Gus.

They will be good within the first Two years of a new coach. They will then sign him to a long term contract before being ready to fire him. It is the Auburn way! See Bowden, Chizik and Gus for your history lesson.

There are several good High School linemen on the roster. They have to be evaluated correctly, pan out and be developed. So, a few of these 3 may not have worked out for them.

I have a grad transfer question. How much ability do coaches have to seek interest in students that are eligible to transfer from another college. Do the players have to contact AU first or can they contact players to see if they may be an interest. I would think some smaller D1 linemen might be intested in a chance to compete in the SEC.

I have an update! Just drove by the athletics complex and Gus want NOT standing outside in the rain! You heard it here first and are welcome!

Just thinking with the money issue. What are the chances Steele is promoted? Steele HC, someone like Freeze at OC and let Steele do what he wants with DC. Freeze has complete control of offense and Steele leads team and directs D. Probably not popular but just a thought.

The more I watch him the more he reminds me of a game manager. Will not take chances and will not win you a game on his own. He is not going to make a play that makes you wonder how he could have made it. However, if you had a good run game and needed someone to hit check downs, screen and the occasional open man down field he is your guy. As long as there is not to much pressure. Hope everything works out for him.

I know the online has not been good but timing and escapability have not seemed to be Stidham’s strong points. Can make all the throws but also seems to not throw as well on roll outs. For you coaches on the board. Would him not doing as well on roll outs and lack of escapability not take away play calls that would take pressure of the line? Also, would it not alow the D to rush without worrying about getting burned by him escaping and finding an open receiver. He seems like a play action drop back QB that would be a great QB back in the Tuberville days. edit: not talking about lack of running game. That pic is pretty clear.
