TigerOne 1,148 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 or know him on a personal level? I would be very interested in knowing his mindset after a game like this. All of the negative and deserved bad press, the lack of offense, the consistent losing big games, the lack of intensity, attention to detail, mental toughness, killer instinct etc etc. Surely someone close to him has asked. It is so bizarre, foreign and statistically impossible one has to wonder what is going on. Why is Auburn destined for 3-5 more years of starting over. This was the year, the sec sucks we have great talent but instead we joined the part of the conference that sucks. Auburn is afraid of being good and in this year great.

lutzcammed 469 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I heard through the grape vine his real estate agent called him while on the bus ride home. that's the sign of a good worker. always trying to stay one step ahead of the game. not sure if they put a for sale out yet or not.

WeagleAU 594 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Apparently, it’s not just Gus that is MIA, the other coaches are not doing as many pressers with the media. They stopped doing Sunday night pressers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,682 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Its hard to have a complete lack of compassion after embarrassing loss after embarrassing loss, but hes pretty consistent in that regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthebiscuits 6,860 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Supposedly Gus has some friends from Arky, but he doesn't really run close in any local circles. I know some people (not name dropping promise) but none know Gus. If you hear of anyone that has his ear let me know. I think he is pretty private.

aubcali 433 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yes, I talked to him. He's says it's all a big misunderstanding. He thought it was the end of the world last Saturday with Planet X Nibiru. He put on his red sneakers at half and decided to call his last game during the 2nd half. He was shocked that the world didn't end by the end of the game. That's why he proclaimed the game wasn't the end of the world at his post game presser -- he was being literal. He feels silly about it. Don't worry, everything is all good now. No more worries. A big misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If he has any friends, I guarantee they're only ones who tell him how great he is. I imagine Kodi cradling Gus at night and telling him how much of an offensive genius he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigersj 122 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I sent him a tweet asking why he ran up the middle on 17 straight first downs... Does that count?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,860 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think the real estate quote was in jest. There's no for sale signs on Gus' front yard. As for the ex coach, all you gotta do is be hungry for some chicken fingers to see him around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Look you guys would have to be an offensive genius like Gus to be able to comprehend the great strategy of running the ball 17 consecutive times up the middle. He told Chip to just keep running it cause sooner or later coach O was going to tell his players , “ surely this idiot won’t run it up the middle again” and his defense would change and it would have went for a first down. Problem is coach O never thought about it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCeagle 16 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 A UNC buddy of mine told me Friday (while discussing them skating NCAA) that Gus had the job in Chapel Hill a few years ago until they found out about this "crazy wife", (his words). Since Texas A&M '14, Gus has been doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results... just sayin' TFWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTiger 7,820 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I quit talking to him after the UGA game last year.............Waffle House banned him, Village Exon on Gay & Samford told him there are gas stations in Opelika. Maybe he is getting the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yes. He said that the offense is getting real close and they will work the kinks out. He also added that he is anticipating a good week of practice. Also he said it was obvious he was not calling plays cuz he would of run it up the middle 20 times in a row.

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Nobody, not even coaching staffers or admin staffers have talked to Gus in weeks. The only conversations between Gus and the coaches amount to them saying "OK, if that is what you want". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
