The matter on hand right now is that we are 1-2 when we should be 3-0, based on most of our fan's opinions. Trying to be too cute and not knowing what your players (mainly QBs...) are capable of well into the season has hurt us. I love Gus's offense more than anyone else's when it's firing on all cylinders but at this point the negatives are outweighing the positives. with all of the amazing moments, Prayer at JH, Kick 6, SECCG, 2010, it would be a terribly hard break up. But with the way he has shown that auburn can be a national power in recruiting top 5 classes, year in and year out, we deserve to see on the field production at least somewhat mimic that. Let us hope that Gus either turns it around, quick or we get a new coach even quicker because i would hate to see our recruiting take a huge hit Exactly! This is why I want us to look deeply into the Art Briles situation. He could possibly be the football version of Bruce Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot goes in to firing a guy other than fans being mad. Empty stands cost a lot more than buyouts. Tickets were available for today's game for $18. Think how many people won't be buying all the extra tickets after tonight. Lose to LSU and its bye bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It is not just about winning. It is about our AD writing contracts for employees of the university that give them a reason to fail at their job. If they are going to pay folks to work here they should at least require them to be somewhat successful at what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever recruiting mojo that we had after 2010 and 2013 is lost. If the team doesn't win any of the home games, I believe the offense has gone into an irreversible coma. I can't imagine any decent football player wanting to play for Malzahn and company at this point. I think that Gus just doesn't have the chops to coach at Auburn, He had to know that without a running quarterback, the offense is stagnant. How did Petrino get that Jackson kid? He can run and pass. The team is on a downward slope. That had to be the most boring and predictable football game I have ever seen. well , at least we don't have any distractions. He got Jackson b/c we didn't fully commit to him as QB in that class. I admit Jackson's tape as a passer was raw but i wanted him badly in that class. UL showed him a lot of love and that they truly wanted him. But here's the thing...who knows if that's the same Lamar we would've gotten b/c our coaches can't develop and set up a QB to succeed to save their lives. I'm happy for Lamar...it all worked out for him. He wanted to come to AU badly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selias 2,398 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Jacobs needs to leave with him. Truthfully, they both should be packing their bags tonight. I, too, was a Petrino fan when Chizik was fired. I don't care about his affairs, he can coach and it seems he's learned to leave the defense to defensive coaches.

Washington is the only Traditional Power in their division and they've been down since the early 2000s. USC is down, and UCLA hasn't been a force for a while now. Stanford can be a big deal for a while if he his team together. Great point. It is a dream gig with freakin stanford students as your team, and they are good. I am thinking Briles. We are already equipped to his O. Stidham comes in and runs the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're likely right, but at least make him say no. in order -Shaw -Dantonio (sp?) MSU -Herman -NDSU's coach (too tired to look it up, but they've beaten better teams that we have and I'm pretty sure they haven't been in the top 100 in the recruiting rankings.
