No one is perfect. We are young and the future is bright. Just wait till next year. We have to have time to gel. And the refs have been really bad.

I do not agree; however as I have posted before I could see him run off end of 2019 if this year and next are 6-6, 7-5 type seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it begins and ends with the head coach, so “said” head coach decided a change was needed on that side of the ball; who could blame him? If you don’t think this sent shockwaves to the rest of the coaching staff, you’re crazy. So my obvious point: the entire coaching staff from top to bottom will be working there rear ends off, so that what happened when Oklahoma played Texas, will not happen again the remainder of the season and possibly the remainder of their coaching careers. Here’s a possible scenario, that won’t happen at Auburn. AD Green - Gus, need to see you in my office. Gus enters Greens office. AD Green - Gus as I’m sure you know your assistant coaches as well as yourself, are highly compensated for the type of results we expect here at Auburn. Gus - Yes we are. AD Green - Gus, is it true; as you say, Chip Lindsay is running the O? Gus - Yes, I am not a liar, Chip is running the O. AD Green - With that said, I’m sure you feel Chip is a nice guy, I believe he is a good person as well. Bottom line Gus, results on the field are not only poor, they are completely embarrassing and unacceptable. Due to this fact, I expect you to fire Chip and possibly Grimes, if you feel he is part of the problem and immediately bring in a competent O-coordinator ASAP. AD Green continues - With the type of salary and benefit package we offer here at Auburn, with an Auburn community that is so family-friendly, several former coaches have decided to retire here, I expect nothing more than the absolute best of available assistant coaches.

Canning Gus in the year following his extension is effectively admitting incompetence on the part of anyone in the administration associated with making that deal. They would have to (or at least need to) get chopped too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he shouldn't. But let's be real here, his wideouts have dropped a lot of balls (TD saturday) and have given up on a lot of plays early. Been a team effort to suck on the O this year.

But if Gus were to fire Chip for lack of offensive production during the season I think we would be in uncharted waters here. Chip would defend himself in the media. But Gus isn't going to fire Chip during the season so this is all for not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
