I would imagine there are several PTB who have said the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not for the "Prayer at Jordan-Hare, Gus still wouldn't have a win against uga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm not calling for Gus's head on that but it was a very poor decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that the trend is to throw Gus under the bus for that game, but a change in game plan should have that much of an effect on the ability for players to execute the basics of their position. When you have Braden Smith watching his man run past him, multiple times, and nearly every receiver dropping passes that hit them in the hands (or in Kam Martin's case, go right through his hands), that speaks to a lack of focus... not the game plan.

It was a mental hinderance. When someone is mentally thrown off basics can, but not necessarily will, hinder physical execution especially in sports. The players are responsible for their own execution gaffs. I'm just saying Gus didn't do them any favors with that move and made it more mentally challenging for them to execute than it needed to be.

milehighfan 1,236 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 OK, whose idea was it to scrap the game plan and come up with a new one two days before the game? That's the person who needs to have his A$$ hung over the fire. Also, you didn't need to be Dr. Andrews to see Sean was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to dig to the root of it, the person at fault is the one who decided to hang our season on recruiting Franklin. We'll probably never know the full story behind that, but everything that followed was a symptom of that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad move but had we taken Jerrod Evans I'm not sure either one would have developed him into a good QB either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehighfan 1,236 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 OK, I'll get back on topic. If Auburn wins 10 or more games this season with one of those wins coming against uga does that move Hill closer to Auburn, Alabama or does he still head to Athens, Georgia!

Wins barring an accompanying staff change usually has little effect on same year signees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with E with the exception of players who want to come to Auburn because they like the coaching staff but are not sure if the staff will be retained. A great season lets them know that there is no reason for Malzan to leave. So if a kid wants to play for Gus knowing he will stay could be a factor. I have no idea if Hill is that type of recruit.

Halftime adjustments are nothing close to completely scrapping a game plan you have been practicing hard on for 2 or 3 weeks 2 days before a game.

milehighfan 1,236 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I remember when Bill Burgess was head coach at Jacksonville St. saying if you have to make a lot of adjustments at the half you are already in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
