Agree with these two plus Jimbo during his short career at AU. Only 3 in a 30 year period. Sully helped with achieving multiple SEC championships. Al and Jimbo were part of two undefeated teams and SEC championships (can't remember if we were co-camps in 93 due to probation). Of course the QB coach for the last undefeated team in this 30 year period was Gus but he had a once-in-a-lifetime player that helped to achieve the 2010 NC. AU is not unlike most other teams in that when we have an excellent QB, we have an excellent team. Can the PTB make it a priority to convince our HC to hire the best QB coach in the market?

Gus considers himself and Lash as QB gurus. Gus is probably sitting with Lash in some candle lit room around a waterpipe at this moment with their turbans on chanting and hoping for some vision of what to do next, and anything or anyone outside of their little circle ain't going to happen. Imho. Sounds like it could be a more effective plan than whatever they did last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2kid 216 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm so tired of venting and so tired of Gus. Never been a fan, I was against his hire, and thought the way the team blew the halftime lead against FSU showed a real lack of coaching savvy playing safe to lose. I don't think GM should be coaching at AU. Regardless, what happened to all the rumors that RL would be gone and we would hire K Briles as OC and QB coach? No way he wouldn't have accepted instead of going to FAU with Kiffen. Only reason I conclude is that GM wasn't interested in bringing in and relinquishing OC responsibility to anyone. He continues to be a narcissistic fool who wants full control and since no one wants to hire RL, his son accepts this crap. No one can defend GM anymore. He is not head coach material, he is not an offensive genius, and he is a terrible talent evaluator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Isn't Al Borges available? I know he lost his job as a HC this past season. I do not think Gus would even give Al a nanosecond of consideration. Art Briles is becoming a better choice. I think many of you feel the same way as I do. I do feel that nothing is going to happen until 2017 season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, even if Lashlee were let go and KB hired may have been meaningless as long as Gus is our HC, but I am certain that the hiring of KB with Rhett Lashlee remaining on staff would have been a wasted hire. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you truly so clueless of the Briles' situation? I think we are all getting undone with CGM to an extent, but your post is nothing but a babbling rant.

Several informed posters/Mods on this site posted repeatedly that the Briles' (Art and Kendal) were being railroaded by Baylor and that AU should hire either or both of them. Now, several posters (me included) posted concerns about hiring a Briles (especially Art in my case) based on the Baylor situation, but were assured by the above referenced informed posters/Mods that the accusations towards the Briles' basically amounted to a witch hunt. So, based on your post to mom2kid, I assume that you thought that Kendal Briles was toxic and AU would never consider him as a candidate for our coaching staff in any capacity. I also assume that you can reference posts that you made expressing your opinion on the matter as well. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely not an insider but I know my college football, am a long time au fan and try to be as informed as I can be from the outside. If AU officially said no to a Briles being hired then just say it. People with inside info have been saying for months that RL was going to be dismissed and K Briles was coming in. If Briles decided not to come and coach Stidham, that raises more red flags. You can call my comments "rants"; fine because guess what. I am angry. GM has made AU football mid-tier. Compare him to Dabo. Clemson is now a perenial top tier program while GM has made AU a joke. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus has corrected the defense and I think we will see a better offense next year, barring the injuries that we had this year. We had better or I think we will be replacing him. l expect that he will get it done. When we hired Gus, it wasn't like we had top talent coaches beating down our door. I would like for Mom to tell me as to whom she would have hired. It's easy to say you would have hired someone else. Sometimes you have to hire the best person to apply and maybe Gus was it. Look at what the turds went thru trying to hire a coach. Look what has happened at USC since Carroll left. It's not an exact science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I, too, am uninformed. Nor am I an insider. I come here to GET informed. Here's what I've learned about the OC situation after getting informed... Art's coming to AU. Art's not coming to AU. Kendall's coming to AU. Kendall's not coming to AU. Art & Kendall are poison. Art & Kendall are not poison; they were merely scapegoats. 50% of us want either of them. 50% of us don't want either of them. ...there. I now feel informed?
