Mike4AU 1,739 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 12 minutes ago, Carnell said: I know it has happened in the past. During the 2016 year I was hearing fan discontent and wanting Gus gone. He hired Lindsey and oh did the fan base go wild. During the 2018 year again the talk was to fire Gus and during the off-season he hired Dillingham and the fans became excited and saying we got Dilly. Then after we lost the game to minnesota complaints that gus should be fired because we were losing to the better teams such as LSU and Georgia. But then the fans starting cheering when he hired Morris. I think your examples were correct at the time, but now are precisely why staff changes will NOT excite fans. No matter who is the OC, nothing on offense changes. It is the same JV offense that has been figured out. It is a simple offense that no longer works against teams with a pulse. Auburn desperately needs a change with the entire coaching staff and most assuredly including Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I wish he would have ended the quotation from after the Tennessee game. It reads as if he predicted the COVID pandemic after the Tennessee loss. I don't have time to back through it to figure out if he was Nostradamus or just trying to tell us that he told us what we all knew. #GusBusBrokeYall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,114 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Well this is interesting. JGT said this morning if Gus is fired that IHO Napier is the 1st man up not Super Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t know as much about him as Cristobal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,107 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I love Napier, but really want a big name proven power 5 coach. I prefer Mario, Napier 2nd because I do think he also carries a no nonsense approach. Besides our guys would be tough and conditioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,582 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This is a good article on Napier. He would definitely be an upgrade to what we currently have. https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/Article/Billy-Napier-Louisiana-football-coaching-carousel-next-hot-name-151316712/Amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 3 of his late kick podcasts this week. He's said in all of them there is smoke here but never gave a pick on if Gus returns or not. Regardless I wouldn't consider him well connected to AU.

AuCivilEng1 11,046 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Dude Rob Pate used to be my eye doctor. One of the nicest guys I’ve met and he’s well respected in Auburn. If he’s off the bus openly, that’s a good sign that he knows he won’t have to eat those words next year while Gus is roaming the sidelines.

Auhud08 596 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Please for all that is holy do NOT hire another non-power 5 coach. Statistics have shown that the most successful head coaches in P5 come from head coaches of other P5 schools. Second is P5 coordinators, last is non-P5 coaches. Do NOT repeat this mistake. Billy Napier is akin to Gus IMO. Successful at a lower tier, but not proven at a higher level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,055 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This could all come back to bite me in the butt but if you’re going to make a change and the answer is Napier then wait a year and see what is available then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but he was let go from clemson (early dabo days) and his stint at ASU was short too. Hes not a proven guy IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
