Mine does not. yes i know most are not trolls. that is not my issue. my issue is i expect bummers to give auburn all the hell they can. however i did not expect the level of hate from auburn fans smearing the coaches. it is embarrassing. look around. several folks that normally post articles have gotten mad and quit. but i am not attacking anyone i am just letting some of the new folks know where i stand. i mean i was just accused of being a troll.

Tiger 8,818 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think there is something to be said about how this "announcement" was made. It was in a casual setting, not a press conference and it wasn't even something AGreene was trying to do, apparently. Bryan Matthews, on the Auburn Rundown podcast, said he just approached Greene and kind of was trying to pry some sort of answer out of him regarding the coaching situation. According to the podcast, Greene was surprised the news spread like wildfire (which makes you wonder if he was being coy or just didn't realize the gravity of what he was talking about, which would be a whole other set of issues). So while I'm definitely #TeamGreene I'm not going to give him props for strongly directing the narrative for what's best for AU because, based on what Bryan Matthews said, this wasn't meant to be some attention-grabbing notice to the fanbase or the country about our program. Edit: Now, I want to add that I'm glad that this turned into a big story if we are going to keep him anyway to keep our recruiting at as high level as possible.

Pure speculation here.... but it's possible that the buyout talk was just that.... only talk, and Green knew that. That's why he said the "Gus will be back " comment so off-the-cuff, as in "people don't really think we're firing him and wasting all that money so soon, do they?" I have been skeptical of the buyout all along. My guess is after the Tenneessee loss, the 'worst case scenario' discussions started about how to raise the money IF the season was to tank like it did in 2012. I think Gus saved himself with the Ole Miss win and all that buyout talk probably died down amongst the top brass, and probably hasn't been talked about since. Just my guess and only trying to piece the puzzle together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 16,755 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 as an aside i read on another site that our university president is on the hot seat and he could be gone soon. all because of the contract gus got. if so maybe it would signal to others not to give away the farm? and el presidente to me is the one folks should be mad at.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 6 hours ago, aujeff11 said: Your logic makes no sense. Greene only felt the necessity to back Gus as the coach next year. Of course Greene isn’t going to back him after that if he doesn’t have to. Edit: he actually insinuated a long term partnership. Not sure where your getting your info but that’s not what he said. He said that Auburn was expected to be more than Average. He stated that Malzahn would be the coach in 2019 nothing more. He made it clear that this year’s record was not acceptable to AU standards . Said he understood that we might be young at some positions ( so don’t use it again next year). Again I have seen many coaches that their admin give them glorious reviews and support only to fire them a short time later. He bought some time with the AM win but if he doesn’t vastly improve he will be gone shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
