IronMan70 3,277 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 After the Ole Miss win it's likely Gus will be back next year. If he is then it will mean by the end of the 2019 season he will be involved in Auburn football for 10 years, 3 as OC and 7 as HC. That is more than enough time to know the final form this experiment will take that is known as AU Head Coach Gus Malzahn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that say about our program and where we are at when a win against Ole Miss one of the worst SEC defenses you will ever see is what secured his job for another season? O how far we have fallen. We need to stop kicking this can down the road. Enough is enough. We KNOW what Malzahn is and that is 8-5 most years. Get him the heck out of here. PLEASE! He is not nor will he ever change. He is to stubborn. If he was going to he would of already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just so tired of watching the train wreck. I watched the last two years of Dye which were difficult, I was at Auburn in Bowden’s last year and went to every home game, I watched through 2008 and 2012 and none of those seasons made me apathetic about a season....Gus is actually causing me to just lose interest for the only time in my life.

I hate to agree with him but I think Gus is safe short of a loss to Liberty and getting embarrassed badly by uga and uat.

THIS! THIS! THIS! I have never been more mad/apathetic over AU football in my life. ALL OF THE JOY and fervor I have for our games every saturday gets zapped each year gus is our coach! Last november is incredible and then our last 2 games reminded us ONCE AGAIN who gus really is at his core as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I am more confident than most people that he is gone. 2-4 vs our 3 biggest rivals in Bama, Georgia and Bama will be too much to overcome. Especially after 2 butt whoopings to end the year. A Bham bowl bid won't save him this time! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus's biggest issue all these years has been losing those games he had no business losing. From the 2013 NC game, to the 2014 TAMU game, to the 2015 and 2016 UGA games, to the 2018 LSU, MSU and UT games, to all the bowl games, the list is long and frustrating.

Ole Miss bought Gus some time, but several people that follow the program say his support has cratered amongst the people that matter. If AU is trying to raise money for capital projects in football, that's going to be hard to pull off with a coach that the money people aren't behind.

OnthePlains 2,014 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 On top of his on field failures, look at what his tenure has done to our fan base...and before one of the Gus lovers says something I’m not saying he did it on purpose or cares but we are split worse than I’ve ever seen. Just look at this board for evidence of where our fan base is....angry, apathetic, tired, disappointed, disillusioned...these are not adjectives you want associated with your program...we need a breath of fresh air to pull it back together.

Scribe Tiger 65 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 On 10/23/2018 at 5:51 PM, aucom96 said: Why? The buyout will still be huge and next year is going to be a rough season. We'll still be thin on the OL, likely be breaking in a brand new QB and will lose several playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. If Gus is kept around, there will also likely be the usual firing of the scapegoat and we'll break in another coordinator. We'll be on the road for Oregon, A&M, Florida and LSU...pretty brutal. I don't see where the crop of available coaches will be any different if we make a move in a year, either. If Gus' buyout is protecting him, we're in for a long, ugly haul before he's gone...and Leath needs to precede him out the door. From early indications, your last sentence looks prudent. He has continued his penchant for financial mismanagement shown in his previous job and there's no reason to believe it won't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn’t going to be taken into consideration, you should flip the script and explain why a curb stomping to Bama should not be taken into consideration? Bama averages 38 points by halftime and is curb stomping everybody, and we play them at their place. I doubt we get curb stomped by either of UGA and aTm. May even steal a game.

Same. We have a shot at both thanks to our defense alone. If our offensive coaches coach with a little urgency, watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 With Gus. 2015, Auburn finished the 2015 season at 7-6 overall and 2-6 in the SEC. 2018. With 4 games remaining in the 2018 season, Auburn is 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the SEC. With Texas A&M, Liberty, Georgia and Alabama left on our regular season, there's a very good chance that Auburn with Gus Malzahn coaching with end up 6-6 overall and 2-6 in the SEC. If that does indeed happen, I hope the BOT's some of you fans enjoy having a losing head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Gus in many ways is a victim of his own success (OC with the fab five at Arkansas, Co-OC at Tulsa breaking records, turning us from 3-9 to the MBCS national championship game in his first year, part of or HC of multiple top ten recruiting classes, OC of Cam's national championship season, and finally the 7 year 7 million dollar man). Barfield's tenure was awful, but coming off of Shug's final two of three bad years it wasn't as bad as Gus. Dye was set up by Ramsey and REC and ended badly but he's still revered. Bowden's off the field soiree's with the wrong people but started 20-1-1 didn't feel as bad when the last season went badly. Even Tub's jetgate didn't divide the fanbase as much as #ButGus. Hell, I know better because I've seen it for six years now, but I actually think it's possible to beat TAMU, Liberty, and Georgia which would give us 9-3, but I know deep down it's not gonna happen. His off the field qualities are held in high esteem by some of the fan base which makes them willing to overlook his ineptitude on the field. So for the religious types, what did God say about being luke warm? Something about spewing them out of his mouth? I'm tired of it. That is all. 8-5 can kiss my butt.
