I think the burning embers are going to turn into molten lava, either Friday or Saturday to steal some of the glamor of the SECCG. To stay in good form, we'll need to fire Gus and hand him the full buyout amount after this year's coaching carousel has ended. I mean, why start doing smart things now?

Gus can run an offense, Chip can run an offense, but Gus can't run a Chip hybrid and Chip can't run a Gus hybrid. I'm pretty sure chip could run a GUS hybrid.

Isn't that what started failing as the good teams adapted and Gus' couldn't readjust his offense? So why in heavens name would we want to go back to that? There has to be a better option...even if we are not letting Gus go. To prove it’s his fault. Tired of the whose offense is it argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that those restrictions end on December 1st. After that he's a free man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Freeze interviewed at UT today FWIW. I’m sure they’ll interview a couple more folks including Chip but Auburn and Gus better figure out what they want mucho pronto or we’re gonna end up getting sloppy seconds.

Is it mandatory that he has his year of “rehabilitation”? I mean we’d know what we’re getting. Hopefully he learned his lesson or at least learned how to not get caught. I’m not advocating to fire Gus for Freeze FYI. Dude did a lot of good at Ole Miss but they’re paying for it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIR ISAAC 46 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Fedora could be one to watch as new AU OC - his $3M per year buyout from NC would cover any salary concerns from what Gus would be able to offer under his revised contract restrictions. Let NC subsidize our new OC. Just something to keep him connected to the game for another year until he can land another HC gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,309 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I suppose I’m in the minority, but I’m not clamoring for Freeze as OC. What I remember most about his whole body of work, is that he always lacked a running game. He lost a lot of games because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If Gus is here next year, I could see Chip gone to Tennessee or somewhere, Gus brings in Bentley as QB coach and Co-OC along with Kodi, and Gus takes over play calling again (Kodi can make copies of the play chart and Bentley can laminate them). Maybe Horton hears a who and leaves and Porter is moved to RB coach and we hire one of Gus' other numnut connections as full time special teams coach/HB/TE coach. Sounds like a Gus plan.

Unless Gus completely turns over the keys you’d have the same problem with Freeze as you do with Chip this season. Sounds like Chip met with Pruitt yesterday about that position. Between Chip and Freeze there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Kliff would be a good OC, but Gus wants a yes man as OC that does everything Gus tells him to do. I don't think Kingsbury is that kind of man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle2423 357 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 So if Chip leaves, is Freeze still in play for us? Who else would we look at? Kliff Kingsbury, Kendall Briles?? Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGunsmith 666 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 In hope we don't get Kelly Bryant. One good season from him and we are still stuck with Gus. No more saving his ass with QBs someone else made into something special. If nix is as good as y'all say, he needs Gus gone ASAP or his glory days will never move past high school.
