FoundationEagle 637 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm usually the first to defend someone being unfairly attacked or when someone is being attacked by everyone. Not this time. I'm usually the one to say the players deserve our support, however supporting them at this point supports Gus so not this time. They deserve better. The best support we can give these players now is to full on boycott AU football until Gus is fired. If everyone continues to show up for games and the football team continues to be a profit, the PTB won't care as much about this embarrassment. When it hits their pocketbooks, they will be forced to act. And let's not all pretend that firing Gus is up to JJ. Everyone here who knows the inner working of AU knows this goes way above his head. Unfortunately they will be the same ones that hire the next coach, but we cannot accept this any more. It's time to full on boycott watching, attending or supporting this program until they are forced to make a change. I may be alone here but I'm done giving them my money. I wanted Gus fired last year but chose to support him one more time in hopes this year would be different. Instead I just witnessed the worst coached game too to bottom I've ever witnessed in my almost 40 years (yes this was leaps and bounds worse than tater tots last years). Support the players future by refusing to accept their present situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger1 5 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 After many years on this forum and being a silent member/watcher, dating back to the AU-Eagle site, I can no longer take sh-t. Can we please get rid of this a-whole coach? What a jerk. From the original WarTiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTigergrad08 617 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have been boycotting. I refuse to spend money on this train wreck and not even one cent of mine will go to that fool of a coach’s salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuMarine 1,372 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I have been a season ticket holder for 30 plus years. If Gus is not fired, this will be my last year buying season tickets. I will not attend any more games this year. I am just too disgusted. I hate it for our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Anyone who shows up for another game as long as Gus is coach is not aiding the players they are in fact making their suffering worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you guys haven’t noticed it’s not due to incompetence it’s done for a reason . Since Tubby left he wants to make sure that any coaches he hires will never be a threat to show how really stupid he is . If you think for a minute the JJ is an Auburn man your are kidding yourself. He is and has always been all about himself. He could give a rats butt what happens to AU as long as he keeps making money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I've never been on the Fire Gus train until now. I've always given the benefit of the doubt and thought he was learning and was patient. I've always said he'll learn from this. Gus has not learned. It happened in 2013 In the national championship, it happened in 2014 against Alabama, it happened in 2016 against UGA, It happened in 2017 against clemson, and now it has happened in a big game that we should have won handily. A Conservative mindset on both sides of the ball when he's taken a big lead by getting aggressive. He hasn't learned to keep the foot on the gas even when the entire fanbase have yelled it at him for 5 years. That's the problem. He will not learn from his mistakes. This is the most embarrassing loss in terms of what we had in front of us and the difficulty of our opponent- and it is time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeagleAU 594 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Forget boycotting. Fans will eventually not show up because of horrible coaching and football. Auburn has consistently been content with being average. Every once in a while they have a great year. I don’t care how much they update the football amenities, it won’t make up for crap football.
