I wasn’t, but I’ve had someone do that to me and made a nasty joke out of my post and was misleading to where it looked like I said something that I didn’t. Wasn’t being nasty, but letting you know that some of us don’t agree with doing it. It’s all good with us though, and I know you weren’t being malicious like the other poster was.

Not entirely sure why something that is 100% fact could be considered a troll? But whatever... Some people just dont like facts i guess. I mean ive not been exactly kind to Malzahn. I know this. But i am not a Gus hater. I just see things differently than most on here... I actually look at things independently than through orange and blue shaders... Sometimes extremely far out statements are met with equally as far out replies. I was blown away someone could actually make that statement. But like i said, if saying my post is a troll and not 100% factual actually helps ya sleep at night, then keep living in your fantasy world. Just because you dont like facts, doesnt make them untrue/a troll post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we lost Asa Martin...<smdh> that was the dumbest play I have seen an AU Coach do. that kid will shine wherever he lands.

Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Also reading through this entire thread... For the life of me... regardless of his previous success... after Gus, I cannot understand how SO MANY of you would not only be ok with ANOTHER high school coach but would ACTUALLY put him at the TOP of your list. Jesus H Christ what have we become? Havent you guys had enough high school coaches? Our rivals are hiring superstar coaches and recruiting 5* backups. Meanwhile we are actually talking about the merits of another high school coach and looking to sign a WHOLE LOT of 3* recruits... And a lot of yall wonder why we are falling further and further behind our main rivals... Look no further than this very thread. I guess maybe I'll be quoted again calling this post a troll...

He just doesnt. ***************** And this is the maddening thing about CGM. He recruits so disconnectedly. Its like he doesnt plan past next year. So my personal opinion is that he does have that burning desire. I believe Gus is as passionate a coach as there is. That we've recruited as well as we have and that our kids continue to fight despite his massive and obvious shortcomings as a head coach really speaks to this, to my way of thinking. But, and to your second point, he just doesn't have much experience relative to most other big time coaches. Which would be okay if he, like Dabo, hired "alpha assistants" (pardon the possible oxymoron) and empowered them to succeed. Wouldn't hurt if he would trust his players to do their jobs, either. He's done this on defense, but instead of seeking experienced help on offense, he just keeps retreating inward. He thinks he's kicking superfluous cooks out of the kitchen, but he's just shunning the ideas and perspectives that could help him grow and succeed as an offensively-minded head coach. And even this would be okay if he really was the offensive savant that only he still thinks he is. But he's not even in the same area code as the Spurriers, Rileys or Leaches. He's like a mediocre actor who could be a giant movie star but just wants to do little indie films so people will respect his craft. Ya big dummy, just go make the next Transformers movie!

He, even as a kid, has been around a big time football program. He played for one and has coached for several. He knows how big time football programs work and knows how to use the system and it's people. It's is strong point. Not the coaching part. He is a below avarge college "coach". He knows how to run a big time program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keesler 5,928 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 CGM does indeed run this program with character and he is an excellent representative of Auburn. No one can say otherwise, he is a good man and he is also a good coach. The main issue is that this is the SEC, this is the strongest conference in the country. THIS is a conference where being good at some programs just isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say Dye did run a lot of other programs into the ground because he wanted their funding stripped and redirected to his team. Auburn used to have an elite wrestling team with Olympians.

I heard wrestling and other programs got scrapped for women's athletics.Sort of a sticky wicket to say the least. Auburn's wrestling team won more SEC titles than anybody else in the SEC. Made me sick to see wrestling go away. We had great coaches. Swede Umbach was in a class by himself along with the other coaches, Sonny Dragoin and Dan McNair. The thing about coach Umbach is he had a glass eye and you never knew when he was looking your way lol. Coach Umbach is in the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, BTW.
