I bet Gus even believes that Chad will have full control of the offense. Just like he believed Lindsey called the plays against LSU in 2017 and just like he believed he was going to run a normal offense against Clemson until a day or two before the game. Not from this person who I'm pretty sure we all trust. Chad wouldn't have taken the job had he not been sure 100%, iron clad, full control. So there is at least legitimate hope for a change. Also there is at least some short term proof. Never in Gus's past as AU HC would he have hired a guy he wasn't connected with like Bicknell. That hire was all Chad.

Back to what started this little side bar, though, I still think the Red Raiders have the better sales pitch until Chad and Gus prove otherwise.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If this works out well with Chad calling the OC shots all season and we tear it up, then maybe there is good hope of good things to come. I trust Ellitor 110% on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still Missouri too but I had a conversation with someone at the basketball game Saturday who has known Chad a very long time & still has a good relationship with him. He said Chad will have full control of the O & Chad would not have taken the AU OC job if he had anything less than full control & confidence it will remain that way. FWIW I think the source is someone most of us trusts & respects. auburn4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust Ellitor 110% on this one. Gus can't win on this. If we do great on Off. then everyone will say it's CCM. If we do bad or avg. then everyone will say Gus interfered. Personally I just hope we do great, I don't care who gets credit. Just saying Gus won't win either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this year will be better then in two years we should be about where we should be. these things can turn so fast.

As you reference, in just one year Coach Muschamp made a big improvement to the defense he inherited from Ellis Johnson. Boom built a solid foundation for Coach Steele to work with going forward.

That is a little concerning but as long as one is Jones and the other is Butler, it does not matter. Let them Fight it out in the octagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
