Another year of learning the SECs offensive tendencies for Aranda... I've really warmed up to the idea of Heuple. To take a team that was undefeated the year before and go undefeated again is a remarkable feat..We need to be in contact with him right now and tell him he is our next coach.Because we will fire Gus after he craps the bed again next season. Plus Heuple did have his back up QB ready to win a big game after his starter went down to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,748 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I’m sorry, I just can’t stand having this thread dormant. The thought of a replacement is the only thing I have to hold on to football-wise, right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,748 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Okay, so if next year ends up being CGM's final year, would the state of our O-line for 2020 (losing all five starters, lack of talent thanks to lazy OL coach hires) keep us from getting a better coach than, say, Rhett Lashlee? Tennessee comes to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't get into a vicious cycle where we can't get a better coach than, say, Rhett Lashlee because of our OL talent, and we can't get OL talent because we can't get a good coach. And we're setting up for an all-senior O-line next year. Seriously, I'd like to keep this thread going throughout this offseason, because the thought of being able to get someone like the guy in my profile pic is the only thing giving me hope for our future.

And we're setting up for an all-senior O-line next year. We can get a good OL coach. Gus refuses to hire the best available coach. He wants to just hire someone he is comfortable with. We have more talent than TAMU did when they made a change. Do they have more OL talent? I would guess. Hard to have a worse OL than us in the league. From 2014- 2018 classes the only class they finished higher than us in the recruiting rankings was 2014 and they finished 1 spot higher. https://247sports.com/Season/2018-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ https://247sports.com/Season/2017-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ https://247sports.com/Season/2016-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ https://247sports.com/Season/2015-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ https://247sports.com/Season/2014-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, with Tennessee's scenario that worries me, the OL was FAR from their only problem. And aside from OL we should have a solid roster in the scenario we're looking for a new coach.

Ut is a sh*t show. We are nowhere close to them. We HAVE the talent. They do not. We just have a coach who does not get the most out of them.

UT will never be what they used to be because their recruiting base sucks and is nowhere near as good as ours. Pruitt is a elite recruiter but you can only do so much with the crutin ground you got to work with up there. They are not a big national brand anymore so they cannot recruit nationally really well like they used to. He is a great enough recruiter where he will get a Wayna Morris and other elite recruits every now and then. Not enough to win big though. I think they will become south carolina place as the perennial 7-8 win team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point stands, OL is the only position in which we will have roster troubles in the scenario of a new coach after next year, whereas when Dooley took over and onwards, they had MANY different units with such deficiencies.

Talking about their home state. Yah besides that we have a very very desirable job. We just have to hire the best guy we can. None of this political BS with the Board putting their nose in the search and getting some yes man they can control per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Bad Gus Today? 2010 Iron Bowl Gus? Or 2016 Clemson-game Gus? Hopefully this bowl game was the shot in the arm needed to make strides in the off season.
