StatTiger 3,188 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Dameyune Craig brought a new brand of excitement to the Auburn quarterback position and was thrilling to watch. Playing from 1994-1997, Craig was not the starter until his final two seasons. Unfortunately for Craig, the running game dwindled during his tenure as the starter, but he still managed to guide Auburn to the 1997 SEC Championship Game. Craig was an amazing talent, and a real competitor needed to be successful. I can only imagine what he might have accomplished had he played in Gus Malzahn's offense. The 1997 football team had everything but a running game, with a 10-0 record with 100 yards rushing and 0-3 when held to under 100 yards rushing. Auburn's collapse during 1998 (3-8) without Craig is a testament to what Dameyune Craig meant to the Auburn offense during the 1997 season. https://youtu.be/OoeU5PuYHMw 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 If Gus knew what he was doing, he should have hired Dameyune as our OC/QB coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a wedge between DC and everyone not named Jimbo Fisher, tbh. DC was one of my favorite players, but not high on my list of coaches at all. Definitely born 20 years early as far as how he played the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He propped Tot up those last 2 years and hid what a mess Tot was making of our football program! We all know what happened the year after DC left. 🤦♂️ It took Tuberville a few years to build us back up to a legitimate football team. (I am not a Tot fan in case you didn’t notice. Haha!) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I thought he would shine in the nfl. Still don’t understand why he didn’t. I think he’s becoming a bridge burner now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRocket 410 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I do get the feeling that there might be some animosity between DC and at least some people in the football program. I don't have any inside information it's just the perception that I get. I do know that he did an awful lot for Auburn University, and for that I will always be grateful. He will forever be an Auburn Tiger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate and respect everything Craig accomplished at Auburn as a player and coach but he has never called a game as an OC at the collegiate level. I do hope he receives an opportunity to be an actual "play-calling" OC down the road. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
