TAYLORKEETON 790 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Gus put ALL of his eggs in the basket with JJ & that completely back fired which put him behind 2 years...IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Crazy that we’ve played the 4 teams in the playoff this season 8 times since September 2016. No other team has been asked to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU Ivory_dealer 2 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hope he learns to spread the ball around at the Benz. Deserves the job absolutely. He doesn’t cheat... Pay the man ? If we keep all coaches, I look forward to the team jelling over the summer with Stidham. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally would say 8-4 is up but Gus's 8-4 seasons were extremely ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubearcat 2,137 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 So I guess the whole 5 hour window thingy to accept the Arkansas job was misreported. I hope for the sake of the players and program, whatever the outcome, it’s sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking 4 games to figure out your identity every friggin' year, taking all four quarters to finally eek by the weak arse teams we play like Mercer, the inability to make any kind of in game adjustments whatsoever, making the same mistakes over and over again like going conservative against LSU, and personnel decisions that take scared and untrustworthy to different levels. Gus is a scheme runner. I don't know any better way to say it. Not being ugly but calling him a football coach is a stretch. Gus starts every game with his players and his gameplan. If either falter he has absolutely no answer. Either he can trick teams with his hocus pocus or he can't. He won't even gameplan for his horse being down to two good legs. In two years we have had critical games at the end of the year with injuries at QB and RB and Gus opted to gameplan with the injured player. Its because he is either a paranoid non trusting coach or he does not know how to do anything differently. No matter who we play its the exact same play calls every single game. He sprinkles in a few trick plays to try against UGA and Bama every year. A good coach worth 7 mill a year could take our talent and change up the play calling to beat Thuga last night. What did Gus do.......He did the exact, THE EXACT, same thing we did in the first game with a RB he knew was not 75%. Who plays a team twice in three weeks and thinks the exact same gameplan will work when your star of the first game is hurting??????? Only Gus. Out of all the posts yours hit the mark and nothing you said I can disagree with. I'm to the point where what happens happens. If he goes take that Saban type money and go get a top notch coach, that kind of money could lure some big coaches away from other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop moving the goalposts back, fickle, fair weather fans ! He did most everything posters said he needed to do to be our coach next year. Give him a contract and let’s stop the fire Gus crapola! He' got a contract. How about he live up to it and stop this BS every year of extension and raise. Consistently perform and earn your money. If a long term contract isn't good enough for him maybe they should put him on a performance based where he' evaluated every year. You guys want to call people with higher expectations whinners but you're doing the same thing in his favor. Ignore button might be your friend this time of year.

Zeek 16,649 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 One thing I'll concede in this discussion. I'm openly not pleased with Gus and I don't think he's a long term solution. I don't think he'll ever win a championship game again in his life. He chokes. However, the current pool of coaches that we could REALISTICALLY get is very shallow. My wife is a Gator fan so a number of weeks ago I started looking into realistic options of a coach for an SEC team. The best I could see would have been a gamble with Chip Kelly who doesn't want to come play against the big boys, or a gamble on Scott Frost who is as "proven" as Gus was coming into Auburn. He's a gamble no matter how much you like him. Our best option might have been Jimbo but that is possibly a lateral move from Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we agree to a raise and extension, you're looking at 4 more years before AU even thinks about a coach change. That's an awful lot of choking to stomach.
