I used to be optimistic about Gus, especially after his first season as head coach in 2013. Many said that season was just a fluke, but I was one of those who thought Gus was going to be the consistency that Auburn needed at the HC position to take them to the next level. Now, like many, I've lost faith in Gus after 5 seasons plus. Since the 2013 season Gus is:
2014 8-5
2015 7-6
2016 8-5
2017 10-4
Even though Gus had a 10 win season last year, he totally imploded in the SEC championship and bowl game. And unbelievably, Auburn gave him a multimillion dollar extension. Also to note since 2013 Gus against his biggest rivals:
LSU 2-3 (0-2 against Orgeron)
Georgia 1-3
The Turds 1-3
Top 25 opponents 10-15
He doesn't have a winning record against any of them. What could be even worst? Since 2013, Gus is 1-4 in post season. The only win coming in the lowly Birmingham Bowl. Despite having really good recruiting years, Auburn continues to under perform. I think he has already reached his ceiling. Realistically, I don't see Auburn ever winning a National Championship with Gus as HC.... a bowl win would be nice though
