Hardly think NFL money would surpass olympic money with his would be draft stock. Wouldn't have much with how he's been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already mentioned this and his desire to be an Olympian. Football slows him down and has cost him already. Go run Ant. Auburn will be fine. We love you man!!!!

Unless we all stop buying tickets (which REAL AU fans won't), then the board will be just fine. Real fans are gonna show up to support the team and players. We don’t just love our team when they’re winning like a Bama fan does, we support them no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on this board wants to win and wants to win big. If people don't like the way some folks talk about our coach and get their feelings hurt over a freaking internet message board, then I say good riddance and learn to toughen up.

How many times over the past 2 years has the defense been thrown under the bus by an offense that couldn't control the ball and/or put TDs on the board??? When was the last time that our offense put enough pressure on the opposing team's offense to make them 1D??? Defense has been on an island for 2 year now. I was not blaming.

We don’t just love our team when they’re winning like a Bama fan does, we support them no matter what. Real fans covet and DEMAND excellence. Not settle for mediocrity. We show up to support the team and players but still can not be happy (and honestly be downright angry) and not support the coach who is not putting his offense in the best position to succeed and win with all the talent we have at the WR, RB and QB position. OL there is not a lot of talent but that is his fault as well. We should NEVER EVER have a sun belt level OL. If we were some South Carolina or Kentucky football program I could understand. We are one of the best football programs ever. You heard Fleck today. We are a blue blood program. With the way we recruit we should be no worse than a top 5 or top 10 team every year.

fredst 9,064 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Haven’t read the whole thread but this loss sums up the Malzahn era. A chance to win a bowl game that is on one hand relatively unimportant but on the other hand means a bunch; a chance to come out prepared and win decisively and carry forward the momentum from a big win at the end of the year. Instead we have a lackluster (at best) performance and lose a game that is easily winnable. This is why we we always be “settling” while Malzahn is our coach and why the fan base will always be split about 50:50 over Gus as our coach. The worst of all worlds: a coach the fan base can never whole-heartedly support or rally behind a plan to move him on. SMDH but WDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notjeffco 13 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 If CCM does well next year he most likely will get the chance to get another head job. He seemed to have SMU headed in the right direction until he got stupid and took the Arky job. That job is a career killer, or at best a get out of there ASAP job if you get things looking competent.

What world are you living in man? you assume i am not frustrated because i have called some out? again the frustration would be better spent burning up the phones or sending emails than crying on here over and over and then some attacking other fans because they are loyal to the team. i will always pull for the best gus can do until he is gone and then the next coach will get the same from me. you ok with wanting gus dead to get a new coach? or seeing gus hurt and unable to continue coaching?

Have I ever called for some to permanently hurt Gus? Now, I'd like to have the privilege of kicking him the nuts because his team's have done that to me enough through the years.

It is games like this that divide the fan base even more!!!!!!!!! The Gus fans dig their heels in and get even more stubborn and the Auburn fans who are more realistic and reactionary and are just reacting to the results and product on the field Gus gives us is given another example of why we want to make a change. He wins a huge rivalry game and then gets his pants pulled down by fleck in the bowl game vs a much less talented team. Just completely outclassed and out coached in every which way. This is not at all like losing to florida, georgia and LSU 3 teams with equal or more talent than us. This was glaringly all on Gus and the mismatch in the coaching department.

Love Clay Travis because I read and listen to him for what he is: A comedian. But he is a really sharp and smart guy with a law degree. When he is actually serious he has some really good takes. This is obviously one of them. Even people with no skin in the game are vehemently frustrated with Gus and AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
