doverstutts 1,643 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Before the season started, I said that if GM won 8 regular season games with this schedule, a rookie QB, and an damned awful OL, I would get off him for one year and if he won more than 8, I would get off him forever. Well hells bells, he won 9! I am not on the bus, nor will I ever get on it because he can't be trusted, but I am finished with the criticism as much as pains me. He is an average coach with streaks of luck or brilliance, but he will never be able to overcome himself. Nevertheless, it is what it is, and I am an honorable and truthful old fart, so I said it, I meant it, and now I'll hold to it. I do warn you if you jump back on the bus, GM is not going to change. He believes himself to be the smartest man in room and until he learns to hire great coaches and trust both ,them ,and the players to do their jobs, he will always a detriment to himself, and AU. The guy can be a great coach if he will just re-evaluate his approach to his offensive schemes. All other aspects of his ability to be an SEC HC are right where they need to be. So, even though I think AU can do better, I guess I'll just take things as they are and just throw rocks at cars to vent my anger when he screws up again, probably with the whirlybird in the bowl game and keep the vile thoughts in my head. Seeing Saban during and after the game merited GM a few more years just based on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicitytiger 281 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good healthy approach. When I see Gus doing Gus things, I just put on some camo and hit the woods. Good luck with the next year, we’ll try not to rile you up:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brilliance is just getting ready to take off! Expecting next year and the years beyond starting the longest 10+ winning streak in AU history.

I can only think of 2 coaches where an upgrade is necessary: o-line and WR. And in fairness to Kodi, his unit is playing better and better. I believe he’s done better this year trusting players too. The RB rotation has been much better and he’s started a true freshman Qb all year and hasn’t exactly limited the playbook with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
