They should really remove the creed from Auburn.

I stopped going to Auburn games b/c they refused to fire Gus Malzahn, and then, in 2017, the buffoons running Auburn gave him a fat contract extension. Football is not important enough to be upset about .. there are no eternal consequences for those of us who just turn it off. I think I'm just done. The money has ruined the sport, and Auburn has crushed my love.

As it turns out, Phillip Marshall saying there have been NO leaks, and no one has any idea what is happening with this search, and Josh Pate saying he just doesn't know, are the most credible opinions I've heard.

At best, I'd say that all the allegations, investigations, lawsuits and charges need to be cleared before any school hires him. I'm kinda of surprised that Liberty hired him. It's a shame for him if these allegations are not true, but it's a risk I don't think Auburn should take, particularly, as you point out, for a mediocre coach.

Throwing out all the allegations, I agree completely on him as a football coach. He's just average.

Is there any chance these are false accusations that are just intended to smear an innocent man? The maiden brigade is rather nefarious in the current "we hate men" environment, and frequently blow the rape whistle when a man simply acknowledges she's pretty.

Maybe so, but we are, in this moment, reaping what has been sown at Auburn over the past nearly 10 years. Before we move into our unknown future, we should ALL be clear that the Auburn boosters, in cahoots with media and other bitter insiders, disparaged a man in a temper fit intended to incitine moral outrage. They tried to use the moral compass of the Auburn people to create an uprising against Harsin for an apparently unproven lie. It's the same "wrap up smear" we see in politics. I've always thought a lot of Auburn as an institution, and the Auburn family as a whole, and the truth about how we treated Bryan Harsin still stings.

I blame the boosters, those who refused to fire Gus when it was CLEAR in 2015 that he's a high school coach, and those who, in a temper tantrum, defamed Harsin to poison his tenure FAR more than I blame Harsin.

Just tell them it's medical .. the state will tax it, but it may keep you out of jail.

I have no idea. He needs to think more of himself than to blather expletives in place of an argument. It does not bolster his point, and it reflects poorly on him.

Oh dear .. we should call somebody!

I'm not sure when it happened, but Americans have evidently become so illiterate, poorly educated, and poorly spoken that swearing has become the only way to provide emphasis, although not clarity, to whatever point is being made. Not sure what his point was b/c I refuse to listen to an expletive laden rant. It is a clue that there may be a low IQ, and an inability to critically think through issues and articulate a position. It simply undermines any point he is trying to make.

Well played.

Our media is absolutely garbage, and that includes the sports media. There seems to be no actual journalism, just propaganda and political biases to sell consumers of their drivel what they want to be true.

So, better suited for the NFL, although the new college minor league football system may be right on time for just buying players. It could be his time! 😬

Sounds like he's a Jimmy Sexton client?

I love that about Gus! He's a mediocre football coach as wins and losses go, but I love his heart for Jesus and that he considers coaching his ministry!

Oh! Thank you ..

I don't know much about Brian Johnson. He evidently has good SEC experience, and has done well in the NFL? The knock on him is his lack of HC experience. Does a lack of HC experience mean a candidate won't be a great HC? Not in my book. But, there is also a lot to be said for taking on the HC duties at a smaller job and growing into a job like Auburn. We may not be in a position to poach an experienced successful HC. But, I'm in the Dan Lanning camp, so I've already made peace with hiring a solid coach with great, but unproven, potential!

I think the current staff is selling their love for Auburn, the wonderful tradition at Auburn, the love the Auburn people have, not only for the football team, but for the school, etc. Whatever they're selling, it's working to flip kids from other commitments. Having that NIL funding is a draw at this stage of college football madness. The current free agency & NIL player purchasing now driving college football is not a sustainable model, though.

And the hits just keep on comin' ...

Pretty sure he'll make a run for Senate.

The current staff is hanging in there with recruiting. It may not be a top 10 class, but we'll recover. What we won't recover from, at least not soon, is hiring a "flashy" coach instead of a substantial coach. This won't be popular, but part of the mess we're in now has been caused by how we treated Bryan Harsin. The insider led smears on him poisoned his tenure at Auburn, wrecked his ability to recruit, wrecked his ability to keep/hire coaches, and wrecked the team unity. Maybe Harsin was not a good fit, but the temper tantrum waged in unfounded booster & insider led attacks on his character were unconscionable. We should all be embarrassed by how Auburn treated him. Instead of trying to destroy the man, they should have just said he's not a good fit, and let him go. Before we fired him, it was completely foreseeable that we would have a problem getting coaches to come b/c of how we treated him. I said it before he was fired, and, now, here we are. No crystal ball required.

The long game is also true in choosing a coach! Too many fans want a coach who will win FAST instead of win LONG! We had that with Gusball ..

Wait .. are you saying everything on the internet isn't true? 🤓
