Why can't y'all get him out of your heads? Is he a permanent fixture there, or are you just waiting for Spring practice so you can start in on Harsin? We’re not fixated on him. Some of us are just still a little bitter he wasted a better half of a decade of Auburn football by being complacent and not trying to compete at the highest level.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Funny, you see no such accusations of fixation as long as the conversation is positive. Pat Dye hasn't been Auburn's coach for almost 30 years, yet some people- Gus apologist crybabies chief among them- still talk about him as though he's been on staff the entire time.

Gus was certainly not my hero and I thought it was time for him to go. But he was a nice person and his family liked Auburn. So it escapes me why anyone wants anything but good for him at UCF. I for sure have more respect for him than some of this so-called Auburn Family. Not referring to you but why do you call him a zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not good enough to be a good man. A good man is the bare minimum. Gus wasted almost a decade of some of the best talent Auburn has ever assembled with maddening schemes, piss poor player development and utilization, and a refusal to adjust or evolve. As far as good men go, he was golden. As far as football coaches go, he was a zero IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,042 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The good man thing always makes me laugh. Also the guys who don't want anything said about Gus but are very quick to talk about players. Why can't Gus also receive the he wasn't good enough to be here good riddance treatment? What about the other coaches? They were good men too and some gave much more to Auburn......it's they will fit better there and good riddance to them as well.....but Gus is supposed to be off limits.

Get real I bet Jake Holland is a pretty good guy. Probably some of those offensive linemen with 3 knee scopes from actually playing the sport and who will never get paid a dime beyond their scholarship, too. But the multi-millionaire who held their careers in his hand yet refused to learn any new concepts to help them succeed is off limits. Got it.

We could start with Petrino, who some here wanted Auburn to hire and make a long, long list of sorry men who coach football. Gus wouldn't be on that list. There is no logical reason for anyone to wish Gus to fail at his next job. There is plenty of illogical hatred here and that's says more about the haters than it does Coach Malzahn.

Every where Gus has went there has been some sort of drama. Arkansas - Drama with Houston Nutt and the Mustain family , Arkansas State- left after initially saying he wasn’t going to go and now their fans can’t stand him, Auburn as an OC- drama with Gene. Auburn as a HC- drama with multiple assistants , boosters , etc. Arkansas: a good bit of the state hates him. I don’t think he is as nice as people make him out to be.

GwillMac6 20,656 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The same people who in another thread insisted they were not Gus fans first over being Auburn fans are the same ones here defending him to the death like they are on the UCF pay roll now any time he gets mentioned. I am sorry is there some kind of Gus alert function I am not aware of on AU family? The Gus Bus is still alive and well I see. They swoop in anytime in threads when his name gets dropped. HE. IS. NOT. THE. AU. COACH. ANYMORE. If someone wants to make a totally understandable and legitimate joke about how ironic it is that a OT is his first commit then WHO. THE. F@#K CARES?!?!?

It’s crazy how accurate your post is because the main suspect defense to this was always “ I will support any coach who is on the Auburn sidelines.” Now this same coach is at UCF and he is still supporting him to death. Clearly a Gus fan and I honestly believe a select few hope that CBH isn’t nearly as successful here, so they can say we should’ve never fired Gus.
