AUwent 3,747 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'll say it again: re-hiring JB Grimes will ultimately cost Gus his job in 2020. I hope I'm wrong and we can win some OL recruiting battles over the next two cycles, but I am not predicting so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him saying the last thing on something doesn't mean he wins. It just means everyone else is ready to move on. You think him having the last word is gonna stop him? Hell if anyone says anything remotely negative about Gus, roster management, play calling, stadium renovation, recruiting, practices, uniforms, or the color of the sky, then he swoops in with his mighty mouse act.

I'd be surprised if JBG was here that long. What could be a bigger factor is that Mount Everest of a schedule next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality undoubtedly matters in relation to depth to the extent that it doesn't, in which said quality and depth can be universally applied to all positions soley that do or do not have in fact the necessary depth as determined by it's quality. Basically, the nature of depth negates all aspects of quality if said depth is quality. If said depth is unqualified then the quality then reinforces the nature of the depth.

If we could recruit on the OL as well as we do with DBs and WR, we would be tearing it up. Do you think JB is the problem with not being able to land OTs in this class? It is a shame that we will not likely sign Bell & Henry. FSU makes we want to gag & puke!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting Wisdom Asaboro. He has more potential at an OT, specifically LT more than either Bell or Henry. If he OVs after NSD then game on. Also Alec Jackson has moved to OT. 14 minutes ago, doc4aday said: Do you think JB is the problem with not being able to land OTs in this class? In general yes. This class no. He was way behind in relationships with the recruits since he hadn't recruited most of these kids til he came back to AU in January. That puts him about a year behind most coaches recruiting for other schools. Also he can only recruit who Gus directs him to & Gus doesn't give a true wide net for OL recruiting.

Did I misinterpret what you were trying to say? I hope Auburn finishes strong next Wednesday. What makes you think Gus and staff don't have "interns" ready to plug and play? They had to replace all five starters this past season and the OL got better as the season progressed. Those same guys will be back next season. There is depth behind them. You only think I disputed myself because you think the players we have are trash. I think Gus and staff have a bunch of good players. "The shape Auburn is in" is very good. Thanks to Gus. Lou Gehrig is a perfect example of a second teamer stepping up when his time came. It happens with regularity and in all likelihood will happen with some of the guys we have on the squad right now. Depth becomes quality depth when a guy gets his chance and comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll get the boot any year soon. Should that happen, I'll support our next coach without whining about how many carries he lets his backs have or griping about who he hires when I don't know squat about who is who in college coaching circles.
