AUatHeart 624 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This is going to be a bad year to fire a coach. You could have aTm, Arkansas, UT, Ole Miss, and possibly UF looking for coaches at the end of the year. Not to mention the other conferences that will be firing coaches.

I'm not trying to defend Gus but that is definitely not a Gus ratio. I do agree that it was mostly Chip calling plays. I just think those plays were mostly out of the playbook of Gus and not Chip's as far as concepts and adjustments. Well since we made no adjustments..we know that came from Gus's playbook no matter who was calling what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is and I truly WISH Gus would come to his senses and FINALLY see the writing on the wall and right the ship... But I believe we truly HAVE a potential head coach (at least interim) and a leader in Coach Steele... and two Offensive coordinators ON staff... and a TRUCK LOAD of TALENT... and the BEST Defense we have had in a long time... and sorry for the edit but I just keep thinking about this... we JUST played arguably the #1 or 2 team in the nation at THEIR crib in as hostile environment we will see... WITHOUT an OFFENSE and played them HARD for 4 quarters and held them to 14 points... WITHOUT any OFFENSE... and we still had a chance late in the game... and it was only the 2nd game of the year with some new unproven players... WITHOUT ANY OFFENSE... Auburn potentially has a pretty good team if SOMEONE could just lead them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been wishing for this for 3 years now. He's not going to change. I for one thought it had to be different this year since he knew he'd likely be fired if he didn't get it together. Apparently not. Gus is going to do it his way no matter what and even if he's forced to change he's found a way around still doing it his way. Unless we make it to the SEC Championship...i'm done.

I'm going into the rest of the season like I walked into New Orleans last year: who cares? I'm here to party and have fun with friends/family. Until changes are made, that will remain my attitude, because I'm getting too many grays at too young of an age worrying about this. I've got tickets to Mizzou in two weeks. I'm going to play blackjack, eat steaks, see a new stadium, and hang out with friends that I rarely see. Winning or losing the game is now a secondary concern.

casatiger 505 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 When the articles stop giving the head coach ANY wiggle room something is up. Usually, the writer gives the coach some wiggle room because they want to be able to interview said coach again. When they put their thumb on the coach and keep it there something is up. IMO. I think the pressure will ramp up considerably and that Gus will be held accountable for everything from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those that have long stood by him. Because all of us hard working people fully understand that if this happened in our 9-5 job we would've been fired a long time ago! And we're not being paid millions to do our job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wasted offseason when Gus changes everything a couple days before the game. This. Gus has been told do not interfere with the offense anymore. Now the running scheme is the same, but we are not running any of the RPO or passing routes we practiced all summer. Gus thought our defense was going to win it for us which they almost did with a couple fumbles that could have been returned for tds. The sacks all aren't on the OL either JS needs to throw the damn ball. How many did Bryant throw up for Clemson that were 50/50 and they came down with them. I know of at least 3. Middle of field was open all night especially 2nd half when they were blitzing lb on regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For clarification, when you say he has been told not to interfere anymore, is that starting now or the beginning of the season? Did he defy orders?

He is a freakin liar and has lost the fans; next comes the players snd recruits. Frankly he serves no purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect JS to start out like this but like WDE said we are not running the offense we practiced. Gus still knows how to call a game with the right personnel but we don't have the right guy at qb for Gus. We played against the best defensive line we will see all year by far. Let this play out. The players have not given up on him and neither have recruits yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players have not given up on him and neither have recruits yet. There's a lot of problems with this, not you 23, but this scenario. 1) JS is the right personnel at qb for almost any college football team. But not Gus. So why recruit him? 2) JS is the right qb for CL. And this CL's job and should be allowed to run his system. So why hire him? 3) Why allow this team to practice one way and call the game completely different? 4) If you're going to call the plays for a qb you don't think fits your system, why call the plays? Or why not just go ahead and call the plays for MW? Far too illogical decisions being made but I guess that is just Gus' problem. And many more why's but I got to clean up after my 2 year old.
