If Saban hasnt beaten a 9 win Auburn team after all the times Saban has played AU, then that reflects really poorly on Auburn doesn't it?

DivisionN 102 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 This is not the same aggresive, confident Gus Malzahn that came to Auburn. We are tentative, slow and stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC4AU04 21 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I am just amazed at how we run the same play over and over. Regardless of the outcome of the previous play or what tendencies the defense is showing. We drastically cut the motion, no playaction, no jet sweeps. Just run the read or veer since SW isn't keeping it 99% of the time. I enjoyed seeing OU creatively put their playmakers in space with the ball. Good things happen with that kind of speed.

Invest wisely Mal... the villagers are gathering their pitchforks and torches. All will be forgotten in a couple of weeks. Just like last year and after the regular season this year...give it a few days and the sunshine pumpers will infiltrate the place with their ifs, ands,butts and shoulda, woulda, coulda rationalizations. Then we will all forget that Gus should be firmly placed on the hot seat. We will give him a pass and very little will change on the staff and we will all be praising the recruiting rankings again.

As an OC, he has one thing to worry about. Some people are meant to be HCs. Others can make a living off being coordinators. I just do not think he makes a good HC. No doubt he was a very good OC. He was great at Tulsa, Arkansas and here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,749 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I will almost never defend JJ, BUT this is what I wish Gus's post-2013 reward were much more like. I don't think even JJ could have envisioned us going 8-4 and going to the Sugar Bowl. I mean, Sugar traditionally means a 10+ win season...which we should have done anyway, but whatever.

I think the pressures and responsibilities of being a head coach have cramped his style as a play caller, so to speak. I mean, honestly, it's his 4th season and he still can't figure out what his role should be. 2016 has been an identity crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW moved the chains by his feet and by the vertical game some. Even then, he didn't do anything with it against good defenses. Which good defenses could we score on? Is dejected LSU all you got? Hitting 77% of your throws means nothing to me. He completed 18-26 passes for 126 yards against Texas A&M. Great completion percentage, s***ty performance.

lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Darn.... I was hoping this thread would be about Tom changing his fandom and taking several others with him.

DC4AU04 21 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Is he seriously going to run the read option with Stidham? We finally have a player who doesn't seem to need a gimmicky offense to work in. I have been really private with my opinions on Gus as they really don't matter to anyone but me. But, if he doesn't get back to more mad offensive scientist and less stroking out in the sideline about whatever he is always mad about we are going to be paying a huge buyout soon and starting over...again.

See unlike will muschamp who's defenses were GREAT when he was a head coach at florida. gus calling card offense just keeps getting worse with him as head coach. Hiring muschamp as a coordinator back when he got fired when he was the hottest commodity for a assistant that offseason. I do not see that happening with gus. Our offenses just get worse each year under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,819 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Turning point in the game? How do you figure that? We did what we should have done but it didnt matter. Wouldnt have mattered if we went for it either - even if we had gotten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 ESPN reported during its broadcast of the game that White did not throw in Auburn's final practice Saturday and left to get an x-ray from team trainer Dr. James Andrews. Later in the broadcast Kaylee Hartung said Malzahn did not know if White's arm was broken or not. "We need to run the football anyway, we'll throw it deep some with him too," head coach Gus Malzahn told Auburn's radio broadcast at halftime. If all that's true, Malzahn should be fired and probably shot. Really not believing what I witnessed tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnphan 6,050 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 should have punted right away, once decided to go for it, do it, wasting the timeout just helped in losing....but the team knew they couldn't win once sean went down, that was obvious.

LittleTrain 4 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You punt and hope the defense answers the call..... Which obviously didn't happen. Regardless I think it was the right call and an attempt to light a fire under the d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
