None of these rumors started until we fired Gus. If the issue was Gus, the rumors would’ve started months ago, and would’ve disappeared after Gus was fired. MAR announced after Gus was fired. Rumors about tank and Shivers started within the last two weeks. Gus messed up coaching in several ways. But the transferring running backs are not his fault.

According to his mother Shaun was ready for SC and well, we see what happened going forward. One of the times MAR was in, he ran down to caddy and chewed caddy out, we never saw MAR again. His piss poor roster management is probably the biggest reason he is no longer a HC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 A good coach uses his RB room. There’s no reason it couldn’t of been tank 15-20+ touches, Shaun 7-10 touches, MAR 4-5 touches etc. hell uga passed most of the game but had 11-5-4 just in rushes with their rbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For like 3 years, everyone was saying Shivers was the real deal primarily because of reports out of camp that he was impressing. Once Shivers got his chance and didn’t look any better, it became MAR for the same reason. The idea that MAR was unfairly behind weaker backs is solely based on like 2 interviews with players during camp 2 years ago (before his injury). There’s a saying... the most popular player on a team is the backup QB. I’d argue that, with our fan base, the next most popular is always a running back buried in the depth chart for the same reason. If the ones playing aren’t looking great, the guys on the bench must be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoetTiger 1,896 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We need so move on from Gus. Seems like he is living rent free in some of our heads. He did some good and some bad. But in the end his failures cost him his job. Deuces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 70 play game and that’s 35 touches for the rest of the offense without including DJ.

AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 CBH has inherited a flaming mess pile! There is some talent in some places, but it is a roster full of major holes! I hope the AU family will be patient with him as he tries to build AU into a solid program playing from behind all of our major rivals. He has his work cut out for him, but it can be done.

Rumors about tank and Shivers started within the last two weeks. Gus messed up coaching in several ways. But the transferring running backs are not his fault. Correlation =/= Causation. Also MAR was before Miss State. The backs before these talks are 100% on Gus' lack of development and depth management. The subsequent transfers however are a combination. The WORST thing you can do is be a player with almost NO PT with a new coach coming in. If you at the very least have some good film during the incoming year you're fine. Otherwise (REGARDLESS WHAT THE COACH SAYS) you'll be relegated to walk-on status when the new coach comes in and brings in his system guys. The only way you stick out above those guys is if you have at least half to 3/4ths the relevant year film that Tank had. MAR knew this, Joiner probably didn't but he wasn't in the best of situations, not even being listed on the depth charts, worm and DJ are probably in the "Very Little Film" category & Tank is simply attached to the old staff. Either way you slice it, the cupboards wouldn't be bare if we at least hadn't ran the tread off of Tank basically auditioning him for prospective suitors while most other backs with unique skillsets got few to no touches. Tank was the only one allowed to demonstrate "Bellcow" ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm_FleX48 1,869 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Another factor is that the board mucking up the coaching search has basically made replacement of many backs and filling these holes almost impossible to do with equal to greater talent since most recruits have already signed or been courted properly by an intact coaching staff.....
