I trust WDE but I’m skeptical that Gus or Leath would be let go this year. Count me a skeptic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they go discount bargain box with the hiring a 5-19 Gene Chizik or a HC with one yr coaching experience from Arky State? You make it sound like money is no object to these men, they got money to do whatever with........yet they are allowed to make huge decisions relative to AU football which has rendered this program to appear inept, incapable of any type of consistency for any length of time. Our biggest enemy has always been ourselves. Wish it would change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting "We stand by Coach Malzahn 100%, this year and into the future" or something like that. I'm satisfied with his answers. I take it as "we'll continue to support him (for now)".

Is it wrong for me to hope we tank the rest of the season to make this happen though? Say we go 6-6...he still goes? I don't see us letting him go at 7-5 (although that record is going to be a challenge). Just a couple days ago I was assured, absolutely assured..... that no AU person would harbor such feelings...….

auburnphan 6,050 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I mean it would have been nice of Greene to say did you notice that when Brandon Cox is on the field we run and when he isn't we pass almost all the time, but he said what was expected of him.

The people in power know this, and know that a lame duck Gus next season is easily the worst thing we need. The lame duck part is definitely something to consider. The contract extension he got last year was supposed to show stability in the program to help with the negativity recruiting other schools could use. Now they'll be back to square one and saying he could be gone soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he does mention that boosters don’t have to tell him they aren’t happy he understands their disappointment. As I said earlier it’s not a done deal. I suspect if Gus can pull out a 7-5 or better he might not get fired this year. Anything worse and I don’t think he survives. I hope you're right, and he doesn't survive the year as an AU coach. But that would mean the boosters would have to shell out huge piles of cash, and would then want a say-so in who got hired. But maybe that's not a bad idea...

LSU's President and AD are a couple of boobs, every alum and fan will tell you the same. Auburn has a new President and AD in place right now and WDE throws out the rumor that there's not guarantee our Pres retains his job all because the football team is having a rough year?

But that would mean the boosters would have to shell out huge piles of cash, and would then want a say-so in who got hired. But maybe that's not a bad idea... Not trying to be mean but just to make sure everyone understands this . Boosters don’t have to shell out. They do give a lot to AU all the time. AU has the money to make this happen already. Think if you made 150,000 a year and you need to buy a 15000 car to get you to work. Exactly the same comparison. This is not a big deal for AU. It is stupid that we are in this position because Leath made a stupid move. I am sure he had someone telling him he needed to make this deal. I am pretty sure that said person is now out of Auburn’s future decisions. I also hope anyone else involved in giving a thumbs up to the contract will also be terminated. I also think that Leath has shown what I have considered was his personality, of only caring how things affect him, that I always felt he showed in previous employment. I hope the BOT reviews and remove him from his post for showing his lack of trustworthyness in handling AU’s purse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskull 239 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I suspect Greene is having conversations with the money folks and developing plans to find a way to a better situation. He, like the other ADs will continue saying the party line until such a decision is made, whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuMarine 1,372 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 7 hours ago, corchjay said: Exactly what he was supposed to say at this time. At the end of the season there will be a statement that we evaluate all of our sports programs every year and will do everything we can to help them be successful. Gus will be back next year and probably the year after that. If we are in the running for the west either of those 2 years then you will probably see a change but no one is gonna eat that $32 million and then be expected to pony up another $5m for a Head Coach and a few million for assistants. Maybe this has been answered somewhere... but if Gus was fired at the end of the season.. how much would we owe him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
