Everyone is freaking out about this schedule but I especially think UF and Oregon are overhyped. I think the Aggies are a fringe team. The same with freaking LSU. The have been beatable the last couple of years now. UGA and Bama are bigger issues. Which would make losing to them even worse. Like people said it is not losing that pisses people off it is how we lose games by being completely dominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRocket 410 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 22 hours ago, War to the Eagle said: So in some universe where Gus wins double-digit games the next couple of years and starts to turn things around, do the boosters get on board? I guess I'm asking if there's any scenario in which the boosters start to back a Gus regime. I find myself hoping that we could somehow win double-digit games the next couple of years and turn things around, but the way recruiting is going I just don't see how that is going to be possible. I think 2019 might be the best chance to have a great season although the schedule is very tough. Next year will feature a completely rebuilt offensive line and some losses on defense. I read a comment in another forum that rings true with me. Paraphrasing that here, "If Gus lasts thru the 2021 season because of the buyout, he will leave behind a roster that could not beat Troy".

Like people said it is not losing that pisses people off it is how we lose games by being completely dominated. Or worse... by the games that were close, thanks to the defense, but the HC/Offensive Guru allowing Offensive failure through silliness (see Clemson '16) or failure in preparation (again Clemson '17) or mentally passing gas (LSU '17) or wetting himself because the team across the field has a "G" on their helmet and wears red & black ('14, '15, '16, 17 *part deaux* & '18). Not to mention wins that we came away feeling something is very wrong (often proving true as the season bore on) such as J'ville St, Louisville, Mercer, etc. As we "critics" say, we don't expect to win every game....but we do expect the Auburn Tigers to never be mistaken for the South Central Louisiana State Mud Dogs.

Guess my memory is getting faulty but I can't recall us being "dominated" and I guess you mean because we did not give good effort. But even against superior teams like UGa and bama not that long ago, ...both #1 and yet somehow with much inferior talent, we managed to beat them both in three weeks. JMO but domination is what AU did to Purdue which was a 3.5 point underdog...and lost by 100...or it could have been 100 if AU had wanted to do that to them. I do hate to see us lose games that look like they should be won...but generally I don't recall seeing one of Gus's teams give up in a game....even games that look lost like the TAMU game last year. We lose some games that are hard to explain but we also win some that are defy the odds...and that's always nice..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last year's Iron Bowl, a 31 point ass kicking qualifies. Bama could have hung 60+ if they wanted but they let up and Gus also just tried to run out the clock to keep Bama from getting a chance to hang 60+. 2014 UGA 34-7 2015 LSU 45-21 2016 Bama 30-12 2016 Oklahoma 35-19(we scored a garbage TD as time expired) 2017 SEC Championship UGA 28-7 2018 Bama 52-21 We have at least one game each year that we get dominated and the game ends up lopsided. The games may have been competitive for a half but we end up getting routed and dominated by the time the game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 33,983 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 We got dominated pretty bad last year by Mississippi State. Couldn’t score a touch down, gave up 300 yards rushing, loss by two touchdowns and out gained by more than 100 yards. Miss state is nowhere near close to us in talent level.

AU coaches refused to adjust or change the scheme to stop Nick Fitz from running up the gut over and over, that QB gained more yard on his own legs than probably any QB Auburn has faced. AU couldn't score a TD to save their lives that game. And then to watch the piss poor coaching/game plan the following week vs Tennessee in JHS was sickening. Those are two teams had 1st yr HC's and much less talent than AU put on the field.

Meanwhile, I saw on the local news this morning that the BOT across the State is meeting today as well. On their agenda, they plan to add another $17MM to their budget for facility renovations & upgrades (primarily football) which will be completed in 15 months. Yet the AU BOT wants to compare what other programs are doing and then wait and see how the football season pans out before they'll address anything?

My theory on MSU is that CKS went with a bend-don't-break approach when he realized that Gus had no interest in scoring. The players on D eventually got fed up. That second half and the UT game were the only times where there actually was a lack of effort IMO. Everything else was pure coaching ineptitude on offense.

WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Auburn Trustees offer support for Football Performance Facility ByMark Murphy 52 minutes ago 16 Gus Malzahn has been head coach of the Tigers since 2013. (Photo: Adam Sparks, Inside the AuburnTigers/AUTigers.com, 247Sports) AUBURN, Alabama--At Friday's Auburn University Board of Trustees meeting officials offered support for what they called a "Football Performance Facility" and Auburn's head football coach, Gus Malzahn, attended the meeting to ask for the facility to be built. "We all agree we need to do it," said board member Charles McCrary, who said the project was discussed in a committee meeting prior to the board meeting and there is general consensus the facility needs to be built as soon as possible. No formal vote was taken on the project, but the direction of the board to President Steven Leath was to make the project a priority. "Dr. Leath, board of trustees, I really appreciate your support for this project," Malzahn told the group. "It is not big just now, currently, but more importantly for the future and it will allow us to continue to have a good chance to compete for championships so this is really big. I really appreciate the support." *** Get 30% off as a subscriber to get the latest Auburn recruiting and team scoops *** *** Get FREE Auburn breaking news in your inbox *** Following his comments to the board Malzahn left the meeting. He said he will discuss the project more at a later time, but it was currently not appropriate for him to say more than he said on Friday. The head coach has pledged $2 million of his own money for the project. Trustee McCrary, who is from Birmingham, noted that the project is needed to support "our team" as well as "our coach" and Auburn. The athletic department and Tigers Unlimited are currently raising funds for the project, which is estimated to cost between $60-$80 million to have a facility competitive with other programs around the Southeastern Conference. Currently, there are a large variety of construction projects on the AU campus. Officials said there is 1.3 million square feet of buildings in various stages of construction. Also at the meeting the board commended Athletic Director Allen Greene for the athletic and academic performance of men's and women's teams during the 2018-19 academic year. ----------------------- Wake me up when we break ground.

This should be about the future of Auburn, not the future of Gus, and these Bozos still can't figure it out. If Gus fails and he's out we will still need the facility. Do they think another coach would just say no thanks, I'm good with what we have. Our problem is not whether or not Gus is a championship coach. Our problem us that we do not have a championship BOT or President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
