auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I hope Auburn has a new head coach already lined up to take over as soon as Malzahn is fired. We can't afford to waste time looking for a new head coach. We must have Mario Cristobal #1 or Bob Stoops #2 already waiting behind the scenes.

Doesn't mean he can't be good but that ain't the type of splash I'm lookin for Name a time in Auburn history where a 'splash hire' was made for the head football coach, and after-the-fact success doesn't count... You're in for a long wait, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is getting everyone all excited about Auburn making a move on ousting Gus? Nothing just internet wishful thinking back and forth working up a lather.

Does it improve offensive recruiting to anticipate a change? Do they like what they currently see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Matt Rhule, Mike Norvell, Bill Clark, Bob Stoops Gus will likely be back for 2020 regardless of the Iron Bowl though. I think Steele stays as DC in that he has autonomy on that side of the ball and Gus leaves him alone. We will see. We have the perfect opportunity though to beat bammer without Tua. I think our D pins their ears back and makes Mack Jones miserable all game. I think Gus will go 2 minute offense far more this game than any in a long time. We go 9-3 and win a bowl game at 10-3, it would be hard to get rid of Gus. If Gus can go 8-4 or 9-3 in 2020, this would be a good season with breaking in a new OL & DL. Maybe some of the young bucks on the DL will emerge as bonafide players in 2020. Who knows folks.....who knows....just trying to look at both sides of the situation is all if this makes sense! The UGA game reminded me a lot of the 2018 TAMU game except we lost. Lot of parallels with that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the game tape and you will see all the missed blocking assignments and just flat out dumb play calling the 1st 3 quarters which for this group is inexcusable.

Completely understandable seeing that the offense is a work in progress after ten games. Just wait, we're almost there, just two more games and Gus will probably have it figured out. Maybe if we went to a 16 game schedule that would give Gus enough time to figure out his offense and pull off 10 win seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
