auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 As long as Gus has the backing of the powers at be, 8 to 9 is all we're gonna see. As for Chad having full control of the offense, I'll believe it when I swe a whole season without seeing Malzahn's hand prints all over the offense.

Please tell me you're not there already ????????? Before Spring training? We only have 3 games next year. LSU looses 15 starters and a once in a generation QB. Alabama either 12 or 13 and the best QB they've had since Stabler. GA, same....if we can't expect to win this year; it ain't gonna happen. I trust those teams to reload, I trust Gus to once again be rebuilding. The anchors of our D are gone, we'll have an entire Oline playing together for the 1st time. Those are obstacles in AUs way even if CM gets full control of the offense and we see some improvement. If not... Bo has to hope he'll get 8 seconds in the pocket for crazy long developing routes. RBs will have to develop some super human traits as they will be ran directly into 9 man boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gus knows 2020 is the year he has to at least make it to the final four. He can’t use the excuse of a tough schedule or a true freshman QB anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why they act like that program wasn’t complete s*** before Morris got there its everywhere, I dont understand it. You'd think Chad tanked FSU or LSU or something.

What's the ceiling on that program, 10 wins with 2 blowout losses against the other 2 good SEC West teams in the early 2010s? Like I said, this isnt FSU. They should be upset, they shouldnt be coming at this guy's neck every single day when he got released like 4 months ago lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just saw JC’s repot on 247 about new OL coach. I tend to agree with his thoughts. Bricknell was not a ordinary coach hire for Gus. On defense Gus has let KS hire his choice and those have went well. But all offensive coach hires Up til now have had to be Gus’s choices. All past offensive hires had to have some association with Gus or a new coach without much background. I feel all of this had to do with Gus wanting full control of the offense. So this truely looks to be a Chad choice and if so that’s a good start for Gus. Now I hear he doesn’t even plan to be in the offensive meeting room just like he is not in the defensive room either. Not giving him a full pass yet, but he does seem to be headed in the right direction. If he can accomplish this he might actually keep his job going forward.

This means, no matter what we're privy to or what may or may not have happened, the seat discussion got very, very hot. That is all I personally want...conscious awareness of the consequences of not adapting...and a higher accountability to need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus, just to spite Arkansas, was responsible for aiding Morris in getting the Arkansas job. This was done by Gus to tear down the Hog Empire. Not only did he do that, he did it with a guy born in Texas, went to school at aTm, a past conference foe that was responsible for all the cheating and hating that went against Arkansas (due to Texas favoritism). Not to mention all the favoritism that was shown for the state of Texas over Arkansas. He even had winning seasons at SMU, another old conference foe from that state of Texas that viewed Arkansas as the second class citizens that they are. This is all about Gus leaving Arkansas and joining forces with Texas to destroy the hogs. All major hog issues tie back to the state of Texas.

At one level, I can see how you could be "encouraged" that the hot seat discussion must have gotten thru. On another level...sort of the $50m level; how is it possible that it has taken this long? Does he really lack self awareness on that cosmically grand scale that it only now has sunk in? And do you really think this guy is worth "teaching" how to be the 5th highest paid coach in the game; basically how to be what we paid him to be in the 1st place...because that is what all this amounts to. He is someone who is 1) breathtakingly overpaid; 2) completely lacking in self awareness and 3) who is a poor judge of coaching talent 4) and in the most basic skills and character traits that make you successful for the job he is being paid for and 5) who has now (after 7 years) finally awakened to his vacuousness and6) it's all gonna magically fall into place now?

Saw a small, miniscule glimmer of "something maybe." I don't live and die by their follow-through. To everything there is a season, so let it unfold.

The former Harrodsburg Hogs, from Harrodsburg, Kentucky. where I taught middle and elementary school from 1990-94, had this perfectly delightful cheer that I could never bring myself to rant.... "H-O-G-I-T-U-P.... Hog It Up for You and Me! Hoggggggg it up! We're gonna hog it up! Hoggggggg it up! We're gonna hog it up!" The motions. The motions. You just wouldn't want to know. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm certain the Hogs of "Arkansas University" need this one in their repertoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
