AUght2win 6,818 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I know we have some people with connections to the program, to varying degrees. Would love to see some inside info on the state of the program. What do you guys think after 6 games? What are you hearing? How's the team's morale? Coaching rumors? Booster reaction to the UF loss? Is there frustration over personnel usage among players (Joey, Schwartz, etc.)? Just any tidbits, leave them here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJCrawford 1,568 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I sure hope no one; coaches, players, board members, boosters or otherwise, are taking it the way this board is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Scuba at Auburn. We dove in the Olympic Pool once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToraGirl 5,498 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I'm not generally in favor of "down votes"...but he could mean that there is enough speculation without asking any who might be in the know to put info where it really doesn't need to be.

Mikey 16,550 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Most of the true insiders I know/knew have now joined Coach Jordan in that happy stadium in the sky where the clock always reads 0:01 and the score is Auburn 40, UAT 0. The little I hear is that Gus is good through at least another season, barring a total meltdown. Losing all of the remaining big three plus one of Arky or Ole Miss will bring the subject of a coaching change back up but anything better than that and there will be no discussion of a change in the places that matter. The players get over a loss faster than fans do. One thing Gus has not done is lose the team and that's not going to happen now either. The staff is too busy putting in their 15-18 hour work days to waste time thinking about what the news media and/or message boards might post. That's worth what it cost you, I'm no longer as plugged in as I used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle79 3,569 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Let the season play out. Still lots of possibilities for the team. They'll be plenty of drama later. That's a guess on my part, no inside info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Doubt this happens anyway). Next season 8-4 probably won’t get it done if its 8-4 this year. Just my guess but if I’m not mistaken Auburn has never fired a coach after a winning season so who knows.

SuperAUsome09 738 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 No insider. Strictly opinion. Auburn doesn't want to be involved in a coaching carousel. Plus, the coaching market isn't exactly saturated with high level options. So high risk/low reward if we did. As far as the rest, I'm just glad it's not an every week news item of "player arrested/busted" or rumors of anarchy in the locker room. Team morale rumors tend to leak quickly now days on Twitter. We would have heard if there was any, even in the slightest imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what level of buyout finally gets a stronger emphasis on changing the guard, if we continue to lose 2 out of the big 3 in following years, with no SECC on the line going into the Alabama game? To be 3-9 against the big 2(LSU/GA) right now over 6 years before even getting to the Alabama game makes it tough for us to get to the SECC.

I don't think the buyout has much to do with it. Not many want to go through the hassle of firing and hiring a coach right now. Look around, there's not much available out there, the staff is settled in and working together and recruiting is going well. The incentive to do something drastic isn't there with the people who would have to actually deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our open water exercise was held in a spring in north Florida. That sounds warm but trust me, it wasn't. The water temp was less than 60 degrees. It was almost cave diving. I didn't have a wet suit and improvised by borrowing a "Hawaiian sling" - a long strip of neoprene with arm holes at both ends. You put your arm in one end, wrap it around your torso and then put your arm through the other end. It was inadequate. My NAUI course was taught by the AU wrestling coach. It was very challenging physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
