How's that realistic? Auburn's not hiring a guy best known for allowing his football players to commit mass rape of college women and then trying to cover it up. After the terrible non-apology he gave, don't expect any team to touch him for a while. We are the same team that let Landon Rice go before the case is even completed.

I do believe this system is just not for him. The coaches do not believe in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murpjf88 506 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The scouting report on Franklin is that he can't throw but he can absolutely do what SW does. He's also a more explosive runner and Auburn needs the run game to move the chains. I don't see the downside in starting Franklin against LSU.

Are you going to blame Gus for that? The amount of delusion surrounding SW is astounding. That loss wasn't as much on SW as it was an indictment of CGM's high school offense. SW did all he could do, but when you're not a dual threat QB running a stale predictable offense, you're set up for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Knight 514 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Serious question, does Gus know what a route tree is? Do we know what a slant is? Or a post? Or a stop and go? Or a believable play action? Or do we only know screens and outside drag routes? P.s. no excuse for backup quarterbacks to not know more of the offense than JF3 apparently knows. Kid has a cannon but we were going to march down the firleld down by two scores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants a running threat at QB. I see that and that's a shame IMO. I've been a JF3 supporter but only b/c i was afraid of this and guess what...this is what we're seeing. Thus, why we might as well play JF3. Give him some 5-10 yard passes and see how it goes. I fully believe Gus is capable of creating an offense around SW but some reason he's failing to do so. I just don't get it. I just don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone4jc 2,241 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It's the curse of the extension and buy out clause!!! I don't know what to say about our "offensive coaches " but I am sick and tired of gimmick plays, stupid plays and being able to call the play before it happens. Defense did it's job. I am off the bus. War Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish his first start could be against an easier defense. Being thrown against the wolves like that is a tough start for anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Knight 514 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Make Auburn Great Again: Pro-style offense utilizing our great young receivers and actual passing routes from short to intermediate. -or- I-Formation with Cox at FB and a rotating backfield between KP AND KJ.

Looks like he is a decent passer. But it is clear that he is behind regarding the offense. I too am asking how is that possible considering we only have like 10 plays. This just gets worse and worse.
