gr82b4au 5,568 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I thought everyone knew he was calling plays. It was pretty obvious when watching that we were passing a TON more than we have in many years. It is just that the plays were terrible combined with al of the other problems. Gus hired him so now it is his problem. OC Chip is OC Loeffler with more talent and a defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, he made Gene Chiz look like an awesome coach for a couple of seasons. What has happened? Gus sent Nick Sabin crying to the NCAA and the SEC for rules changes because he couldn't handle the offense. Bobby Bowden (and many others) called Gus a genius. Tubbs said he wanted his son Tucker playing for Gus, so he could learn how to coach like him. What has happened? What was 2010 like? Note the changes: 1. HUNH after we got to the 50 yard to increase pressure 2. He trusted QB to make a play (Cam N on 4th down against bama threw across his body to the sideline....did we see anything like that on 4th against Clemson? 3. We used a mix of short and medium passes throughout the game to keep the D hones Nothing crazy, but combine those kind of changes and you have what you have. And he is micromanaging his O staff because he feels pressure. I wish he would just smile, he's got about 25 million in the bank, and let his O staff do their JOB!!! let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't allowed to do anything on his own. I think he would be fine if allowed to run his offense from the beginning. Changing now would be more of a disaster after practicing Gus's crap during spring and fall camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeagleAU 594 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I just read that Auburn is ranked 117th in the nation in passing offense. We are also an FBS worst with 14 sacks allowed on the offensive line. I don't see how Gus is going to get this turned around fast when the same ailing problems on offense have not been corrected in the last three years. It just gets worst every year.

We have lost ALL the big games the last 4 years. We lose to UGA(and 2 of those were to really bad UGA teams). We lose to bama ( and yes they are very good but there we go conceding defeat again if we let Gus off the hook). We lose the Sugar Bowl. We lose to Clemson twice and both times if we ANY semblance of an offense we would have won and me and you wouldn't be having this conversation. He will "fix" things just enough to beat the lesser teams and make guys like you happy but when LSU, UGA and the turds roll around we will see exactly what we saw Saturday night. Go read the thread about the data on Gus and defend the last 3 seasons as a whole and tell me where the big wins were? Even the games that appeared to be big wins turned out not to be like LSU last year. Our offense has disappeared against good teams and not just this game. Take away a tipped pass miracle against UGA and a once in a lifetime special teams play and some inexplicable decisions by saban in the kick six game and this guy is 0-8 against our two biggest rivals. If that is enough for you to keep letting this guy off the hook then fine. Be happy with 8-4, we can brag about our win streaks over Arky and Ole Miss...yay. There are plenty of things gus has clearly done wrong as a coach and deserves criticism for. The Clemson game plan last year for one. The poor evaluation of JJ is another. The poor in game adjustments (this years Clemson game). The lack of QB depth the last two years. But I don't understand why we even look at the games last year when Sean and pettway (and many more starters, including cox and KJ during UGA) were injured and pretend that's an indictment on Gus's offense. When the majority of your starting lineup, including your only competent QB, is injured, the game is null. The only truly valid criticism then is of his QB recruiting. The vast majority of the frustration fans feel is not based on logic, it's based on frustration from the unfortunate injuries we had 2 years in a row. Blame gus for his faults, not for our bad luck. The only truly negative trend I've seen with him is his bad in game adjustments. His QB recruiting has improved. His ability to delegate has improved (there's no way gus called a game where he passed it 2x as much as ran it, plus the obvious defensive improvement). Last year, he delegated his offense to Rhett when he saw it wasn't working, and it turned out beautifully. That's a willingness and ability to change your ways. If Sean and pettway didn't get injured we would certainly have beaten UGA and could have beaten bama and gone to the SECCG. Even against OU we looked great until Sean broke his arm. Why do we judge the coaches so harshly for offensive "trends" that are obviously caused by injuries, not coaching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had something to do with JS throwing an interception and the bad offensive line giving up the sack fumble. Then he panicked after two trips to the Redzone against a good defense with no TD s. Fyi, we never got back. I do believe Gus called those plays on the goal line though, he loves bringing in lineman and pounding it nowhere for three straight downs. It's clear he doesn't trust offensive coordinators . If he's going to lose he has to be the one driving us into the ground. To historical lows with amazing talent.

That includes a win against UGA or bammer I'm afraid that it will be bust, if we don't make major changes in the right direction in the passing game. Right now, we are not even close! If the proper changes are not made to the passing game then this is how it plays out: You can rack up losses to Ga and ALA b/c of lack of a passing game to compliment the running game. That's 3 losses. LSU and atm will be toss up games due to their lack of offense. We will beat State, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Mizzu and the other cupcake teams for 6 more wins (like we did last year) just b/c of superior talent. Leaving Gus with 7-9 wins, which is just not good enough for him to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
