Amazement at how many games he somehow won while BEING so bad. I'll explain it easily. He wasn't as bad as alleged in this thread or he wouldn't have won so many games. Some of this stuff might have happened to a limited extent but had it been the norm there would have been far, far fewer wins and Gus would have been gone from AU after two seasons.

cole256 17,046 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 My take is Gus really wasn't a football coach. He was more of a strategist. And not a all situation type strategist but if you give him specific talent he could cause mismatches. He's not going to be able to take a team that's completely outclassed but coach his way to anything, but if you give him superior athletes he could createlet's say an average of 5 one on one plays and if you were able to capitalize on those situations you may be able to win. But an alpha leader of men? Or an excellent communicator???? Nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus is just another example in a long line of them since Dye that even below average to average head coaches can have success here because Auburn is a absolute awesome great freaking job and the biggest sleeping giant in the sport. We don't even need good coaches here to have success every now and then. We do need a actual good coach though to get us where we all want to go which is sustained success. For the love of God pleaaaaseeeee let us have back to back 10 win season's AGAIN. It's been over 30 got damn year's..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious since 14 we've essentially out talented teams except for UGA/Bama/LSU. And we got destroyed by anyone that had more talent than us. Except for a couple of miracles against Bama.

Was Gus just insecure in the game plan or overthinking things to the point he would only want to do the same simple strategy every time? I don't get it. Because Gus couldn't use a clutch and shift gears, therefore, the GusBus stayed in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 the main "why" that came to my mind was...maybe this guy was just paranoid people could figure out his pre-planned gameplans, and thought he was getting an advantage by changing things last second like playing chess against yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Springdale High School 2005 Playbook with "Springdale High School 2005" crossed out and "University of Auburn 2020" written above it.
