You have no argument, which is clear because you refuse to make one. You and the rest of your "I hate Gus, all the time on every thread" crowd are one trick ponies.

nixtosanders94 2,180 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 This whole back and forth should just stop. Half our fan base enjoys losing four or five games a year and if they would just admit that and admit they don’t believe their university capable of more then we can just all move on.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 What direction is this football program going? A ones proud team that brought fear in the hearts of teams we played now are laughing at us. The powers at be gives a head coach a raise to 7 million a year over 7 years for a total of 49 million to a coach who has lost 4 or more for 6 straight years. Also, he's gone 2-5 in bowl games.

CAReeves2010 627 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 8 hours ago, CleCoTiger said: Consistent? Our team has finished several seasons decimated by injury. You guys only give that excuse (injuries!) when explaining why AU whipped another team. Malzahn is here and he is gonna be here at least another year. Get used to it. Decimated? How many times has a starting QB or RB gone down and the backup pick up where he left off at other programs? We've had injuries at OL & WR too but it's up to the coaches to make sure guys on the bench are prepared. Lack of preparation has spoiled 2 seasons in this case. When have I made an excuse that AU only won because so and so wasn't playing? 8 hours ago, CleCoTiger said: I have, 9 wins is the minimum. Repeatedly. And when it's not 9, it's 10. Are you referring to me here? I've never posted in the season prediction threads or actually given a total win number for the program anywhere on this site. I've already told you I'm not a part of a certain group so are you ignoring that just to argue because you didn't like my initial response?

It's not that they enjoy it. They just expect it. They have Little Brother Syndrome. They think Auburn should not be able to out recruit or beat a school named after a state. They believe any win over those teams is a miracle and a sign that Auburn should keep any coach that occasionally beat Alabama. So they place value on non tangible things and wins and titles don't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU120289 379 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Administratively, the direction of the program is very clear - hold the course until Gus turns the corner or the buyout reaches an acceptable level to act. At this point; the pros and cons of the program, player developmemt, and coaching are well entrenched. We are all creatures of habit. He has demonstrated an inflexibility of thought and action. Expecting a change now after 7 years is not likely. He intends to play this out his way. I do believe the man hates losing. He just can’t accept why the loses occur - execution not scheme, development, and coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Johnny Mac 1,391 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 A couple of thoughts Because of geographical statistics, Auburn has the potential to out recruit(I didn’t stutter) Bammer,UGA & LSU There has never been more talent in our backyard .Alabama, Georgia, Fla. are our traditional areas. There is more talent in these areas than ever before. The expectations have changed for head coaches because the old bowl system has been blown up. It’s about the playoffs now. We should reasonably be able to challenge for the playoffs more often than we are now. I absolutely love coach Gus. I don’t think he sucks, or that he is dumb as a box of hammers or anything like that. Any objective person should be able to see that Gus hasn’t been bad. He has actually done very well in spots. But I don’t think he will take us to the next level. Gus hasn’t done badly, I just think Auburn can take it to the next level,but I don’t think he’s the coach to do it.

aubaseball 2,584 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 He hasn’t been bad nor has he been good. He has just been ok. And if ok is what you want, than he is your man. If not and you want more, he is not the man. It’s really just as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
