I read that he was considered a lights out recruiter is how I think it was stated. Said he had that reputation at both Memphis and Arizona St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,270 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 i do find it odd the QB coach is not the passing game coordinator. Would have made more sense if he came in as OC/QB coach and passing game coordinator and then give kodi the running game coordinator title of whatever. I know its all just titles and this knew guy will instruct QBs in practice and Kodi will instruct WRs. But just found the dissecting of responsibilities odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have been off the Gus Bus for a while because of his stubbornness in not adjusting his O to his personnel. I think this has the potential to be a good hire. Also like Gus or don't like Gus whenever his back is against the wall he seems to pull the rabbit out of the hat. I think with the experience gained this year we will have a better O-Line. I think Nix will be an improvement over Stidham not because he is a better QB but because of the things he does better. Nix can hit his target when he is on the move Stidham had an issue with that. This class may bring in a couple of solid RB's to help and a couple of TE's. We won't use the TE's as much as we should but I expect us to use more than past two years. I also think Nix will not be afraid to throw the 50/50 ball to Seth Williams and to Pickens if we keep Pickens. Gus just might pull off a really good season next year. I want Gus gone but I always want Auburn to win so I am hoping he puts to gather the type team that will have us in contention at least until Amen corner and hopefully after Amen corner.

He probably realizes that this is his last chance to save his job. If I was in that situation, I'd want a little more control than being the CEO. Also, Gus has called some great offenses in his career. It's not like we have Chiz calling plays. Gus is more qualified to call plays in the SEC than anyone on his staff. Pretty sure Gus never gave up the play-calling. I’m glad some feel better but I’m pretty sure you won’t like the final result. Folks keep wanting Gus to go back to what he did earlier. He never quit doing it. Defenses just adapted to it. He used Rhett and Chip in place to make it seem like he was changing and he did use a little of their offense and for the most part their offense worked. Then Gus would go back to his . The problem is you will see his old offense will Still not work. He will never upgrade his offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After so many years of run, run, run. Good QBs just aren't going to want to come to AU. It worked for years with Gus, but QBs want to pass. People ON HERE claimed "why fix what's not broken?". Well, running an offense that is so one dimensional leads to a future of "why can't we get any true QBs?". We should have been more 50/50 with run/pass 3-5 years ago, despite how successful we were under Nick Marshall. Especially later in games when we had already blown teams out of the water. Let Nick pad his stats or die trying. Instead we sit here with a cupboard of projects and wonder what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Heard he’s already out recruiting. Based off how far he outkicked his coverage on the wifey I’m feeling pretty good about the end of recruiting this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Publicly or not, at least there is no confusion about it and success of offense will clearly rest with him. I doubt this will stop the sniping at Gus but maybe, just maybe, some folks will give the new team a chance before pounding them too hard. Now we need a solid QB... JMO but this is the direction I hoped we would go.....and glad it's been sorted out before signing day so everyone knows what to expect. Gus is more respected outside of AU.....the prophet in his own country issue as the bible reminds us.....nice to see a fresh young mind on the offense.

The man has flip flopped more than any politician I've ever seen.

AU82 127 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I love Auburn University. I love the Tiger athletic teams. I will always support the Tigers. But, I don't know what to say anymore. Every week there is a questionable decision made either by the coach or the administration. When was the last time a decision was made that everyone knew was a home run? I'm just going to hope for the best. War Eagle!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
