The average regular student doesn’t come from the same background the typical scholarship football player comes from. Many (not all of course, but many) come from tough backgrounds and absolutely do need more guidance than the average student. Try doing inner city ministry one time. It’s not being emotional at all. It’s actually caring about what happens to these young men. It’s actually caring whether they are taught to be grown up children lacking character or raised to be good men. A message board isn’t sufficient to explain it to those that don’t see it. You guys can desire to win at all costs and just accept the status quo. I’ll be different. No worries. I don't disagree. I am not a win at all cost guy, but I am willing to look over some of the minor things for a winning coach. There is a large enough support system at Auburn that it doesn't have to revolve around the head coach. FCA, former players, assistant coaches , good people like you volunteering their time to be big brother to very young recruits, and a life coach to current players. Assuming you care that much. Everyone wants the "father figure" /dynasty building coach. But how many father figure/ dominating coaches are out there? How many willing to leave the players they are a father figure and come to Auburn? They all have some baggage, or they do not have any experience. Some more than others. You learn from your choices. good and bad. There is no perfect coach. Edited November 22, 2022 by Quietmaninthecorner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it because Auburn had a lot better team than he did and his only chance to win was to go into full desperation mode. It didn't work. I have never seen a coach before or since go for broke the way Spurrier did in that game. I agree he knew he was outmanned, but USC probably did better than they otherwise would have done in that game with Spurrier's pull out all the stops approach. That game was as memorable for me as was Brother Oliver's 11-man defensive front when he was at AU. I enjoy a little eccentricity on occasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the best job DS is supposedly linked to is South Florida, which is about right imo. Everybody has their opinion. The best job for Sanders is whoever hires him and sit back and watches him be great. With the exact situation that happened here there isn't anybody better that could fix what happened as far as relationships and the reputation that was being built on this brand. Sanders can be successful anywhere 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is your opinion that Sanders can make the leap to an upper tier program from a tiny school in a tiny conference with no pressures/rigors of big boy football. You don't even have any data that could come close to posing it as an absolute. Edited November 22, 2022 by dyehardfanAU 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put him on ignore and it has made this forum alot better for me not having to read his crap. He stands on the sideline at a few UNA games then thinks he is some coach that the NFL would be jealous of. Most disliked guy on this forum by a landslide. I was on an Auburn forum about 13 or so years ago and he was on it. Same stuff. Nobody liked him and 90% of his posts are arguing with others or bragging how he got something correct from months ago. I would put him on ignore because he will go 20 pages deep into a thread arguing and trying to get the final word. He's a VERY insecure guy that has to be right about everything. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders can be successful anywhere he has serious financial and business baggage. He basically started a fake high school, tried to get his house classified as a church to avoid taxes, and has multiple assault charges (wife/coworkers). at 45 yo, cheated on his wife for years with a 19 yo , not to mention his lack of experience at a major school. I feel he is a giant scam waiting to implode. That said I might still take him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,039 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Oh and the funniest thing about this is Sanders doesn't do well I'll have all kinds of people tagging me talking crap. He does do well I'm the butt hole when I say. See? As if I'm not a human being. Like I exist to take your crap and I'm not allowed to say anything back....but I'm not surprised that's how some of you think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
