WFE12 9,191 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Auburn OC Chip Lindsey: I called all the plays Brandon Marcello AUBURN, Ala. — Questions about Chip Lindsey's control of the offense were brought up during Auburn's loss to Clemson on Saturday night. The broadcast crew even questioned it, especially on a fourth-and-3 call in which Malzahn can be seen speaking into his headset as Lindsey walks far away on the sideline from the play. Auburn lost 14-6 and had the worst performance in the Gus Malzahn era with a total of only 117 yards. Does Lindsey have autonomy of the offense? "I did," Lindsey said. "Yep. Sure did. I called every one of them: the good and the bad ones." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 After Gus told him what to call. This is not a Chip Lindsey Offense. Sorry, I don't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msza 228 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 My guess is Gus gives his OCs his playbook and they call the plays autonomously from there. So you have the OC calling plays, but they still look like Gus plays because they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTigersfan89 256 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 BS There's no reason Gus needs to be holding a laminated play sheet. There's no way Chip calls that flea flicker or the run play to Cox. Being in his position, there way also no way he was going to say Gus called any of the plays.

AURealist 2,185 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's a comfort knowing who will be taking the blame this year. Saves us from having to speculate on who will be sacrificed to ensure another season of the Malzahn dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aucater 150 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 My son just came up with a great idea. Use a computer program to call all the plays, random as hell and would probably beat anything after the first 5 minutes last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU-24 3,063 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 So Gus and Lindsey are both totally liars? You people kill me! Chip Lindsey is in way over his head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR 2,427 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'd love to know what Chip and Stidham really think about their decision to put their career(s) in Gus's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLEATON 1,244 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Use a magic 8 ball... draw them randomly out of a hat (take the RB Dive out of the Hat first).... Draw them up in the dirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Lindsey is in way over his head! Ummm, Lindsey ain't the only one in over his head. We have an oline that didn't execute, we have an RB that is only successful running up the gut, we have WRs that can't work their way open, we have a QB that looks like he doesn't belong in SEC play. So Gus, Kodi, Chip, Herb were all treading water last night. im sure everyone will redeem themselves against the cupcakes and all will be well.

Aucater 150 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Or letting the half close with time on the clock and not trying to score. What happened to the Gus of old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTUmike 79 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That's insulting to be told Chip was calling the plays when everyone could literally see Malzahn was the only one actually speaking into his headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 What needs to happen is to bring JS under center and have Cox lined up in the conventional "I" formation with Bubba as the featured RB. Run out of this formation enough to confuse the heck out of defenses that have their ears pinned back for the usual hand off or pass play that the QB cannot find an open receiver or just cannot seem to see any open receivers. Spend this week working on JS getting to ball passed to any receiver who is remotely open within 3 seconds of the snap of the ball. Throw quick slants for 7-10 yards at least 4-5 times per game. Run some triple option plays at least 2-3 times per game. Run some sweep plays out of the "I" formation to Bubba. Flood the shorter zone with Sal & Eli, Nate Craig, and Kyle Davis. Quick pass plays within the 3 second window. I do not know as much about plays at most of you do, but I would bet good coins that if Gus does as I suggest, this could throw enough confusion to where maybe we can beat Ole Miss, Mizzou, MSU, Arky, maybe LSU and UGA. I mean maybe folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtomwde 22 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Yep. Sure I believe it. I also have a maserati in the driveway outside in little old concord Alabama. My pet lion also agrees that pettway was 100% and was just resting up for the pros. Cut us all a break and speak out. Say Gus is handcuffing you and you already wished you were not stuck in this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
