If you're not humiliated by that then I'm not sure why you would have ever bothered criticizing anything. Jake Holland certainly never put on that pathetic a performance. And at the time, they were thought to have the number one defense. It was a close game no matter how humiliating you thought it was. Ironic that you’re talking about hyperbole.. If anything, the LSU collapse and the Oklahoma game were more humiliating than them all. Did y’all see how Mayfield taunted our big and bad DL the whole game and we still couldn’t put our hands on him once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a reasonable point perhaps....but I sure didn't feel any better about an AU loss a few years ago when we had about 600 yards either. ...both games being close final scores.

Does that look like a good swap for a guy whose team is 6-2? What would our record be right now had Stidham been lost for the year in game one? We might be winless with a true freshman or a walk-on at the helm. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting humiliated isn’t the standard at Auburn. I think you’re getting my argument confused for something I’m not say. I’m just pointing out in the grand scheme of things, if Clemson was our only loss, the CFP would see that loss as a “quality loss.” It’s not like our defense laid down for Clemson. That’s when it would’ve been humiliating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t call it “ballsy” when you move the ball between the 20’s and settle for FG’s inside the 5 repeatedly. There’s a reason he was booed in the miss st game when he put the FG team on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus has never been that great of a game manager though. I saw a game where Tom Brady led his team to redzone with 16 seconds left and no timeouts and the whole offense went off and the whole FG unit came in flawlessly for a FG. Footage like that you can really tell who prepares for those special situations and who doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubaseball 2,663 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The problem after the long pass to Sammie was they didn’t spike the ball. Let close to twenty seconds run off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is @Maverick.AU , you cannot see the discipline that I saw in this gif, but it’s still impressive. The play actually ended at 15 seconds not 16.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Our next HC needs to be an alpha HC like our two biggest rivals. Sadly, we passed on the alpha currently coaching UGA in favor of a HS coach who could have possibly asperger's or autism. We need a competent AD. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBusPilot 72 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 After today, put my vote in for ISU's Campbell too. Impressive, and the last time we hired ISU's HC we won a NC. Well, then went 3-9.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike4AU 1,739 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Forget this talk about Matt Campbell. His buyout is $9.6 mil. Way too much for an unproven coach. Quite frankly, the salaries and buyouts of college head coaches has skyrocketed and even the lower tier schools are paying big bucks for their head coach. I suspect the potential financial burden of hiring an existing HC means that AU will likely hire an up and coming coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
