AUpreacherman22 3,888 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Add me to the "wait and see" clan. Gus and Chip will have a ton of toys to play with this upcoming season. If they mess the bed, we should be looking for a new OC, new HC, and a new AD during the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far_away_fan 101 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I don't see the down side to this hire honestly. It's a good hire, but probably not the best that could've happened. But certainly not the worse. There were QB injuries and still had production at that position. Sounds awfully familiar to what happened to our boys this year. I think we all need to relax, chill out and let him prove that his capable of doing. If we all got what we wanted, we'd have 6 "co-offensive" coordinators by now.

DAG 33,993 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The players seem ecstatic to "air it out." That is a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was most intrigued by Yuricich. However you spell it. Least impressed or actually sickened by Mazzone. I kinda figured Lindsay or Gilbert and either was not bad but I don't know their work too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd4au 1,145 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm willing to give him a chance and see what he can do,we all know Gus is going to be calling the plays just like he did last year when RL was supposedly calling them.For me if he can develop our QB 's then it will be a big upgrade type of hire.

abw0004 10,125 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well Gus said in his press conference he is "retiring the clipboard," and giving full reins to him. Also, many high school coaches in Alabama have voiced their support for him and said he will be a stud recruiting for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg5 536 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm all in on it. We have been saying Gus needs a proven QB developer. We got it. Since we don't have the new position yet we got what we have been asking for with this hire. Honestly I am a little sick of hearing every other post that this is Gus's last year so whatever. They wouldn't let Gus have his first choice and I think this was his second. So far I think Gus has done pretty good with all of his hires after the initial staff. Some on this board won't be happy with anything. I think next year will be great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubie the hedgehog 13 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm in the ALL IN group. I'm gonna step out on a limb here and I dont care if you call me crazy. Its going to be an interesting season, but Auburn is going to make the playoff next season. Just feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damabama 15 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 good thing is that malzahn's job isn't on the shoulders of our new qb anymore. takes a lot of pressure off jarrett stidham. puts it back on malzahn and the AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the ASU offense was bad last year, but they were decimated by injuries and were playing a 4th string QB. Well, it seems he can develop a qb other than the starter, however if he gets 3 qbs injured at AU this season we go no better than 5-7 playing a 4th string.. (unless they all get injured late in the season). Of course I'm not sure any team could win with the 4th string qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auelvis87 96 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm in the "wait and see" group. I hope Gus will get out of the way and let his OC do his job. If GM doesn't and the offense start this season the way it ended he won't make it thru the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if CL manages to end up with 2 hurt qbs, I'm not sure there is a 3rd string on the roster ready to win games. Maybe CL could get Woody there. Who knows. Maybe for once we will have a healthy qb for a whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle-1 3,821 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Didn't know much about him originally, the more I learn, the more he is growing on me. If Gus actually gets out of the way it might just work. If we go into the last week of fall camp trying to decide who the starting QB is, or I see one double play action fake on third and 35 I'm out.
