Maybe some people on this forum choose to be "all in" (sorry, I'm old) while the season is in progress. Maybe some people on this forum choose to be excited every single gameday because they know that the season goes by quickly and life goes by quickly and that we should cherish the opportunity to be rabidly passionate about our team. Maybe some people on this forum would rather gripe about things we don't like privately or after the season is over. I wonder how many on this forum missed the much of the joy that the 2010 season brought because you were too worried about whether Cam would be ruled ineligible. I decided early on that year to relish every game. I choose to do the same thing this year and to receive the joy that being an Auburn fan can bring. Call me sappy or mediocre if you want. I'm excited about the chance of beating the dawgcrap out of UGA. Being an Auburn man brings me great joy. I hope each of you gets the same blessing from Auburn that I do. Grumps, I think you are the male version of me!!! @ToraGirl are you still on your knees interceding for this team and this coach? They sure could use it! War Eagle and beat the Dawgs!!!

I'm sorry that you get into ugly arguments or you get sought out for said arguments. That's not my intention as I'm just trying to come at things from a different angle than most of these discussions/arguments but if you're gunshy, then okay. Just thought we could have a conversation. Obviously I was mistaken. As to your questions and comments...I checked again and I think my explanations were adequate....people just see things differently and have different experiences and expectations about our coaches and players and life in general I guess. Lengthy discussions generally don't change opinions if you watch some of the verbal jousting that takes place on this site...page after page of it, often with nobody making a decent defense of their view, just shouting down anyone who disagrees. . . I'm fine with you and several others..... but it rarely stops there......and next thing I know some others are all over my case because they disagree and are just 100% certain they know more and I must be a dummy for disagreeing with them. I'll express my views and even expound on them if it comes up but none of the snarky exchanges that go on day after day. Just saying....by and large it's not worth it and I don't need that in my life. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the other post I tagged you in, you'll learn more about it. You would not agree with how I pray for Coach Malzahn and Kristi.

I am sure you can understand from what we do M-F and my life in co-shepherding a church, to even take a second to pray for a team and its leadership is a gift. Have a great night.

I read your other post after I posted this. I did not mean to insult you. Please forgive me. To me, praying for those we don’t like or have problems with is much harder than praying for those we do like. I feel like this coach and this team need as much prayer as any previous coach, and I do pray for them. I don’t have any personal connection to anyone on the team. You might. And there may be indirect reasons you want him gone, other than wins and losses, I don’t know. With your connection to Auburn, you probably “hear” stuff. 🤷♀️ I am like Grumps in that I will support this coach and this team until the season is over, then I’ll reevaluate. Much love and no offense intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did not see this as #2 but then again, that game was so bad I guess they figured there was anything to lose by doing it now. Problem I see for Arky and FSU is that unless you hire an unemployed coach or someone's coordinator, you have to wait until the end of the season to get an experienced coach with any kind of resume'. 64 did they not even tell him in person but by a really quick phone call? kiff might be or have been a moron then but it was classless by usc either. but hell i have not liked usc since oj was only in to stabbing steaks back then.

Fleck may not even be interested if the job was open. My point was that a long term deal won't stop it from happening if it was what both sides wanted.

BornAU76 392 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 My hope is that we bring in Morris as OC and let him run the thing. It seems to be a good fit for him...just fired, they are friends, we need some offensive help, he may just want to be an OC after that experiment at Arky. Perhaps, he can talk some sense into Gus and convince him to start modifying and changing his Offensive scheme. And, make adjustments as needed.

(I'm stretching, I know) Rumor has it, those were the exact reasons Arky canned Morris....his inability to modify and change his offensive scheme and his refusal to make the needed adjustments. The Arky brass got sick of it real quick, the fan base revolted and the PTB told him to pound sand and take his "scheme" and stubborn tendencies elsewhere.
