3rdgeneration 6,458 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 And, for me, that cements my theory that the writers who write stories for Auburn are liars, are biased, and are out to ruin our recruiting. I wonder if you looked at their bank accounts if you would see some extra money in there from some Alabama boosters...yeah, that's a conspiracy theory for ya. Doesn't excuse a bad season, don't get me wrong, but this kind of stuff makes me mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,458 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Brandon Marcello has a lot of nerve being in that press conference and asking questions, since he was one of the ones reporting all the contract (fake) news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,458 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Open records requests would confirm one way or another. These "reporters" need to do their homework. If they didn't, they should all be fired. All public institutions have to supply records of any written conversations, emails, texts, etc., if requested.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The truth is out there. I am not sure we will ever know it. I tend to think PM is the better of all of the journalists who cover Auburn football. The other ones do leave a bit to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,784 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Odd thing is not this most recent episode of dirtbag writers libeling Auburn, its why the school didn't immediately and sternly refute the lies and (sadly) how many poster on this board ran with Josh Moon et al. Gus Malzahn's contract is a public record - this is very easy to confirm or refute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. Auburn needs to defend itself more vehemently from these dirtbags. We need a hotshot lawyer or media guru to take care of this kind of business!

ToomersStreet 795 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think he got his contract changed. This is Gus doing damage control. Come. Stidham regressed. He never uses the tight end. Passing game is based on screens and deep passes. If Gus doesnt produce in a big way next year he is gone. I bet there is SERIOUS NEGATIVE RECRUITING against Gus right now. He is trying to keep his recruits from being poached. The Asa Martin situation has more thn likely hurt him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion, but the truth almost always lies somewhere in the middle. I am pretty confident that both Gus and board members were leaking to the media. I know without a doubt there was a "sh#tshow" happening behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,458 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 At any rate, there's a paper trail if that did, in fact, happen. If the reporters did not request any paperwork, which would include any hand-written notes, they should be called out as liars. It is common to do open records requests (my husband is in government and has one on his desk at this very moment). It would take major nerve on Gus's part to say his job was not threatened, if it was and it was in writing somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoetTiger 1,896 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Probably some booster who wanted Gus out and said what they thought he should do and passed it off to writers as fact when it was never discussed in the first place. At least not by the ones who matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Changed or not, if you watch the press conference that was released on YouTube a hour ago, Gus looks like he has aged 20 years in the last month. Also I find it extremely interesting that everyone in this thread is acting like this this is 100% the truth, when they have been saying you can't trust anything on al.com but now that it fits your narrative, it's the TRUTH.

You also have to consider the arrogance of those involved. I think there was smoke for a reason. There was a lengthy failure to respond to rumors quickly for a reason. Or there is just complete incompetence everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,043 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Whether any of this stuff happened Gus stood up for himself and said the things he needed to say. He could have given a bunch of nothing statements but came out and sounded like a man in control. Good for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
