Fire Gus!

[AUFriction 1,179]

Now. We are losing to a 4th strong walk on QB. There’s no excuse for this.

[The lions roar 119]

This is embarrassing. Apparently Gus doesn’t get embarrassed 

[AUwent 3,747]

Gus has COVID to thank for staying here for four more stupid years.

Is money spent on a new FB building really a better investment in the program than paying Gus to leave?

What’s the status of that thing, with COVID? Part of me says we should just suffer through the rest of his contract and get it built. Good for long term.

Should we use his own contribution to help buy him out?

So, who are our candidates to speculate over for this season that we can't get too hopeful for since they'll get hired somewhere else before we pull the plug?

Freeze? Fleck? Any Clemson assistants?

Fleck isn’t an option. No experience recruiting down here, and honestly I’ve not been super impressed. Seems a lot like the Iowa start coach.

Land is being cleared now at the old track, think theyre just waiting for the official word from the board to start construction.

With 4 years left on his contract and a HUGE buyout, this is AU football for the next 2-3 years. Better start liking basketball.

My pick? Fully commit to building the damn thing and grudgingly suffer through the rest of Gus's contract (who knows, we MAY get a decent 2019-level season in 2021 or 3). Pull the plug on 12/31/24 and we have a new coach with a brand spankin' new facility.

Otherwise, if we aren't going to get it within five years, then fire him whenever possible.

Thoughts?

We would come out on the plus side if we would pay his freaking buyout.

Pretty sure its a done deal at this point, they wouldnt spend the money prepping that land if it wasnt a sure thing. And Gus isn't going anywhere with that buyout.
Auburn will just continue to reside in mediocrity and Ive just accepted thats the way it is unfortunately.

Anybody got Bill Clark’s number?

Unfortunately I too see mediocrity for the next four years, but in the long run if might be for the best if it means getting that facility built. Wake me up when it's 2025...by then we'll have a new coach, Dinky may very well be on the doorstep of retirement and we'll have a state-of-the-art new facility! Dynasty here we come!

Brand new offense....come on...cant scream "fire gus!" At every loss...its Georgia, ...our 2nd game and its the most talented team probably in the nation...

Gus is 2 and 7 (now 7) against GA...its a pattern...he is 7-16 against AL, LSU and GA.

At some point you just need an injection of new energy in a program.

[JBiGGiE 2,488]

Calm down. Y'all can thank Mawmaw Ivey and Greg Sankey for the unpreparedness. We all knew this was going to be an ugly season... We just hoped that Auburn would be able to take advantage. Instead, we are one of many COVID victims.

Um, no. You can blame piss poor OL hires.

If anything, UgA is a covid victim, and they are currently cleaning our clock.

He sure beat the hell out of us last season with a team of 3* guys. 

[Win4AU 4,052]

Thank God for the Hardee’s Prime Rib biscuit

[tbone4jc 2,238]

I don't know what to say. We were outplayed big time on offense and defense. Their oline and dline dominated. We had no answer. Oh well, we will get better. 6 wins or less. I didn't even think we would have a season. 

[DAG 33,955]

I got Arkansas legit beating us. Honestly that might be what it would take to get Gus out of here. I can’t anymore.
