Metalsinger418 88 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Because teams have a month to prepare for our 3 different offensive plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimes 442 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Not just bowl games , but meaningful opening games as well ( including Clemson this year as game 2). It’s been shown that Gus gets consistently out coached when both teams are given extended periods of time to prepare. Not sure what that says about him ( and consequently our program for the foreseeable future) but it can’t be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDynasty 585 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Exactly, @GwillMac6. When you factor in the fact that we usually have two to four weeks to prepare, and still put underwhelming results on the field, it's a head scratcher. It can only boil to one thing--opposing coaches are outscheming, outplanning, outmotivating, and outcoaching us. There's really no other way to put it. Thankful for our seniors, but disappointed we never really put our seniors and team in a best position to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleFromHoover 70 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It’s actually pretty simple . Gus is so bad in bowl games because he’s a person that overthinks . It’s harder to overthink something when you only have a couple days to prepare vs having nearly a month . He cant stop himself from overthinking every play every game decision etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenlee36 1,654 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 One argument is because Gus’s offense need to play on rhythm to be good, and the layoff hurts. This is true but when you play other spread tempo teams and lose, them what is the excuse?! They have the same challenge to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Because he had a QB who threw the ball away twice and put it on the ground once (only the fumble can be attributed to good D), and a right tackle who frequently played like he had money on the other team, but yea... it was all coaching/play calling.

He is just arrogant and conceited and believes his first plan is gonna be perfect with no plan if it fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point , that happens when you tend to overthink , you try not to and you end up under thinking . Either way he can’t get out of his own way even though he keeps trying to sell to us that he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what he is going through health-wise, he needed to be around positivity so yeah I don’t blame him for not being on the forum. Until you or a family member goes through with what he is dealing with you really won’t understand. You need to lay off him in hat regard. That was uncalled for.

lca408 366 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 No one can possibly argue that Malzahn is simply unlucky in bowl games or in games where the opponent has time to prepare. You could find 3 or 4 excuses for this loss, same as all the others. At some point, the preparation of the team has to come into play. That falls on coaches. Even if a player struggles, or someone is injured, it’s the coach’s responsibility to find ways to adjust. Auburn adjusted for 5 minutes at the start of the 2nd half. That was it. Malzahn and his $7 million per year was horribly out coached by Frost all day. Not sure why anyone should be excited about another bowl game with Malzahn as the head man. It’s not likely to work out well unless it’s against Memphis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ll second this about James...damn he looks bad in pass pro most of the time, doesn’t move his feet well at all. Hope we get better play out of that position next year somehow.

Being a fan of sports is not about being even keel. We are not players. I react with my warranted over the top extreme positivity when we win and I think how I react when we lose is warranted to especially with the WAY WE KEEP LOSING with gus.
