aubiefifty 19,322 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 i understand we are a top ten team. no need to remind me. but if mr greene knows exactly what is going on with the team and things are honestly beyond the control of gus would it be far fetched to think maybe the AD releases a statement in support? or does the AD thinks maybe with us being in the top ten our fears and complaints are an overreaction?

boomstick 1,315 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I think the AD is pretty powerless at the present moment. He had nothing to do with the contract given to Gus, and I don't think there's anything he can do to fix this situation. Plus, he's only been around this situation for a few months so he probably doesn't have a whole lot of info to base any decisions on. The contract has his hands completely tied unless some big money comes rolling in to handle Gus's contract, which I don't see happening.

No AD in his right mind would release a support statement for a team in the top 10 that beat a top 10 team and lost to another by 1 point at the buzzer. We are a good team (not great) at this point. Now if things do not turn around on offense it could go south in a hurry (starting this weekend). Hopefully we can keep winning with defense and ST.

Keep winning with any and all weapons in the arsenal (Defense & ST) - hope like hell these offensive coaches can pull some magic in the month of October and be ready to take on the challenges in November. The last thing an AD (who's been on the job less than a full year) needs to do is evaluate the coaching staff mid-season when the team 4-1, hanging in the top 10 ranking, and the real meat of the schedule hasn't even hit.

DAG 36,566 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I think the best thing for our AD to do is just let it play out. No more rash decisions to extend or fire someone.

Auhud08 596 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The biggest concern right now is recruiting. This year is what it is- we still have a chance to win 10 games and we still have a chance to go 7-5. What needs to happen though is a stellar recruiting year- OL big RBs and some more Defensive help. We’re pretty set at WR, might need a FB. But we desperately need OL and need to keep the Defensive churning. Thats where the AD needs to look in terms of “state of the program” whats our pipeline looking like?

If we have a pass first offense, then we might not have a 1000 yd rusher and that could lead to recruiting woes...might not win any of those bluechip running back recruiting battles against uga and bama.

Yes, that one call was a bad call, but they played a hell of a game against a premier team of college football. There will be a sour taste in your mouth but better days will be had.

There are ways to mitigate personnel deficiencies, but those seem so foreign to our offense I've said this a few times to those who call out "Gus Bashers". Most of us are reasonable and knowledgeable fans who understand that "you don't win'em all". We may be unhappy and heart broken by a hard fought (but well prepared) loss....even if it's one bone-headed decision. But we get it, accept it and get ready for the next game. The way Auburn has lost (and even THIS year the way they WIN) under Gus is so often underprepared and unmitigated messes (on Offense). It does not breed confidence in the rest of the season and instead of drinking Jack & Coke we're drinking Maalox and Liquid Tums. Franklin & his offensive staff made a bad decision. But beyond that, both sides appear well prepared and played lights out against the 2nd luckiest coach in America behind saban. I'd take 10 like Franklin over 1 Gus, at this point, any day.

aubaseball 3,145 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I’m in the same boat as the ones that are proud of the team win/lose as long as the product on the field is competent. Some games are going to be lost on bad officiating, unlucky bounces and just the mere fact that the other team was better. I can remember even when (some consider him the greatest coach) dye was here that he made some bone headed decisions. Just give me a team that plays prepared and able to make adjustments necessary to give themselves a chance to win Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/164202-question-about-our-struggles/#findComment-2930192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
