You can sit here all day and try to deny that , but your statement is not in anymore accurate than mine . Their is only one obvious way to get bette recruits UNLESS you live in a hotbed recruiting area or have a prominent history is win the damn games in front of you when you have the team to do it. I don’t give a damn if LSU has the #1 recruiting class in 2017 we had no business losing to that team. Or the UGA team of 2016. You got to jump on opportunities. It actually is much more accurate to use individual recruiting placement vs our rivals and conference opponents, rather than compare us to the nation at large which consists of tons of garbage programs we never play against. It's a misuse of statistics fallacy, though I can't for the life of me remember which one. Our composite score is good enough for 7th at the moment, which put's us 5th in our conference. IE: Saying "I'm in the top 10% for coding among Americans", might be true, but it would be much more accurate to say "I'm the 5th best coder at my place of business" ..Anyways, I'm not here to teach, you're not here to learn, so 🤷♂️.

Having a top ten recruiting class (#3 in the SEC) in 2017 didn’t stop LSU from losing to Mississippi State and Troy. Yet they beat us. That is a very short sighted argument .

While that is a horrible tragedy that obviously transcends Auburn or the sport of football, it is worth noting in discussions of just how wrong it all went in 2015.

gravejd 3,269 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'll go on record saying that i do not expect Gus to be fired unless we loss big to bama (14+ pts). If we are competitive in that game then he will be back next season. I think he has enough going for him that the PTB will keep him to see if he can finally get over the hump.

This year was the extra year the PTB were supposed to see if Gus could get over the hump, this was the year to put up or GTHO. Remember Gus doubling down on himself, calling ALL the shots and taking the OC position completely out of the equation. He wanted to leave no doubt that HE was in control and He was getting back to his roots. With two talented QBs, a stud defense, oline loaded with experienced seniors, a stable of WRs and serviceable RBs - THIS is the year he was given for him to prove his worth once and for all.

Auhud08 596 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Talent gap isnt far off- talent placement and coaching is. Weve got a lot of highly rated WRs (somehow & finally). Everyone knows we didnt recruit OL. If wed have recruited that position better we might be singing a different tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season I probably would have said 8-4 gets him fired. But the way it has played out we lost basically one possession games to 4 top 10 teams with 2 being on the road. And we have a win over top 10 team and likely pac 12 champ. This all assuming an 8-4 record and no big loss to bama of course. 39 minutes ago, fredst said: This quote could have come from this time any of the past five seasons.
