nixtosanders94 2,180 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I don't think it matters who grasps what. Truth is no one knows what is going on behind the scenes. What we do know is there were some influential people who wanted Gus gone last year. Maybe they fire him, maybe they don’t, but no one should pretend they know what the hell Auburn is gonna do because half the time Auburn doesn’t know what Auburn is gonna do.

Also says its no secret that a lot of powerful AU people want Gus gone. I had never seriously considered Steele would be a candidate for the job. He also thinks theres some reasonable chance that Arkansas still wants Gus and maybe AU wouldnt have to fire him. I think Coach Steele has been a head coach before. I hope it works out better this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,692 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Lol people really are confident he is so safe? Nothing is going to start to leak out until after the iron bowl. You watch. Tate's tune will start to change if we lose the iron bowl. What is Gus record vs LSU, Georgia and bama? Exactly. Facts are leath is gone who along with Harbert was the biggest reason why he did not get fired last year. The people who wanted him gone probably want him out even more now and will grow louder. This is not over. The ole Miss game did him no favors either. We almost lost to a team who will have a losing record. Wait until 2 weeks from now. It will get a lot more interesting.

AUwent 3,756 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Next year the buyout will be like what FSU paid. And FSU is supposedly worse off financially than us. So I definitely see it happening next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till we lose to the MASH unit from Tuscaloosa. People's heads are gonna explode.

Do people really not remember how close it was last year to Gus losing his job? This season did nothing to make people who matter who have wanted him gone change their mind. It just made them want him gone more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we keep him we still have to pay him a egregious salary of 7 mill anyways PLUS whatever the total sum of the buy out is after next year. So either way we are paying him. Just cut the cord man.

I don't disagree. The apathy thing is messed up with us though. We always find the optimism loophole in August, and lather up our expectations accordingly.

We have a score prediction thread each week and people still pick us to win against LSU, Georgia and some will against Bama. All we have have is optimism. The reality is harsh to face.

Even when we go 8-5 we are not going to fire a winning head coach and pay him $29 million. We are stuck in mediocrity. Georgia got rid of Mark Richt. LSU got rid of Les Miles. Winning coaches get fired in this league all the time; though I hesitate to call Gus a "winning" coach when you look at his record against real opponents.
