Gus ran him off. This is another guy who Gus can control. I just don't see how Lindsey has sufficient experience but Kendall didn't. This guy is another high school coach. Or didn't you read his bio. Oh and another thing, this is a hire that keeps Kodi Burns. Being as Lindsey had hired Kodi to be his RB coach as ASU, there is no chance Kodi is left without a job.... Just the safe choice all the way around... Um... Putting those numbers up at Southern Mississippi is the the same as the SEC, but go ahead and pump that sunshine. Just is. Okay, no real logic or analysis. Just is. Now I know to never ascribe any credibility to you. Just won't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean every naysayer on here knows we will win 7 at best. An hour ago we couldn't predict who the new OC would be, but now we all know how next season will be a fail. That my friend, is a true Auburn fan, There is a difference in being upset with a lackluster hire when we were told by everyone to expect a wow hire. And there is no way we win 7 next season. We are LOADED. but please do continue towing the AUFamily line and try to morph this into an excellent hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoAU 87 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 God yall whine too much. Also D. Craig was a great recruiter but our WRs actually have looked better with Burns coaching them IMO. Have seen much fewer dropped passes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus ain't gonna be fired next year. If Saban hired him the question would then be why did Gus let him get away? He's a proven qb coach and OC who isn't afraid to throw it. Isn't that what AU needed? Or is it people just wanted Gus gone regardless? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you read that? I never said this was an excellent hire either. Where did you read that? Two examples of creating falsehoods right there in your post. I said nothing about what I though about the hire. I just said dips like you whine about everything as if you know anything about the situation - when you know nothing about it. Nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen lackadaisical short routes ran by guys with no real motivation. Yes a there was a couple of flares but that may not be on them. Our QB's were struggling all year. But I am not going to complain long term just a short protest . I am on board, he will need support of the fans to keep the kids motivated and the seats filled with excitement. I guess its one of those support him until he is proven insufficient. With this hire it will be interesting to see what JJ does at the end of the season if they have only won 8 games. Will he have a job himself? If so will he fire Gus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 11,004 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I could see it working out. If he develops Stidham, we will be fine. I'm more scared that Gus will get in the way. But that was bound to be a concern with any OC hire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plainsman 948 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I like the hire because it fits what we needed to improve and it also has Gus in position to make it a great year next year. No overhauling... Just improve upon what we have. I predict it will be great.. But if not.. We will really know and that is good too. 10 wins min IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumps 3,704 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If Gus got the OC that he wanted then I think it is a great hire. I LOVE the fact that Gus can run the offense the way he wants. Do you all REALLY want Gus to take all of the blame for next season while the people coaching are not the people he wants? I realize that many here would love to fire all the coaches after every loss (yes, I am exaggerating, but only a little bit) but maybe we should try supporting our coaches and team in spite of the losses.

What he did at SoMiss is eye catching. He's not the yes man that posters here believe he is. Lindsey is getting the keys to a brand new sports car with the weapons we have on offense and Gus actually trusts him. Wake up people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
