The AD has given you a vote of confidence for another year, so there should be no excuses next year to get caught with your pants down. Another year with the o line and hopefully new offensive personnel will pave the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my point, that will be his answer regardless of what the plan is. For the record, I think Gus will be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicitytiger 281 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 That’s not how any of this works:-( gus only performs when he feels like his job is on the line..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_M4_AU 7,760 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The fact that AD Greene made the statement should tell you something. Why would he have to say something like this if there wasn’t some doubt? The media will be all over this the last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will come out and say he is going to be here next year, only to fire him at the end of the year. If he was going to follow such a plan, he probably wouldn't have said anything at all. I didn't think I would have had to explain that rationale.

Evidently, he was getting hammered with a bunch of questions about it from Jay Tate, Brandon Marcello and perhaps other members of the Auburn beat writer corps.

He recognized the poor job our football team has done this year. He called Gus out saying Auburn expects to win more than just a normal program. Greene: Quote You expect (Auburn) to be successful more than a normal team," Greene said. "When that doesn't happen, it's frustrating. We expect more.

aucom96 1,614 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm sure he will be back and we'll have to make some empty "splash" coordinator hire to lipstick up the pig we'll be living with next season. But for Greene, he has to make these statements now after probably our last high point of this season. After UGA and the updykes, it's going to be hard to keep the questions from bleeding onto the recruiting trail otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,267 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Yeah this needed to be said. You can’t fire a guy with a winning record 1 year after a huge raise and buyout. Have to salvage what we can (recruiting) from this freaking pit of dispair we are in. And maybe Gus figures out how to make next year not suck so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike4AU 1,739 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Impressive way for Greene to address the situation. He somewhat pacified both sides. The Gus supporters give a sigh of relief knowing that Gus is not going to be fired this year. The non-supporters know that Gus will be gone if next year is a repeat of this year. IMO.

AURealist 2,185 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Finally! It's settled. Gus can now relax and forget about the peons calling for changes in the offense. It'll be nice to see the Whirly-bird again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $49 mill I would probably be willing to swallow a live slug or much worse. What he hasn't proven is does he have a plan for 2019 that has us playing for an SEC West title in November (not missing out in early October)!

Just think, if Joey gets over his injury, we could see 4 QBs on the field at the same time along with Cox. Ga won't know what hit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
