So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so insane that Saturday's result has any bearing on our 8th year head coach. How can our power brokers be smart enough to make millions but dumb enough to use this logic? I believe the Decision has already been made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMETHING is going down and happening behind the scenes. He is the biggest Gus apologist and sunshine pumper on the Auburn beat. He is being cautious like JGT is hedging their bets because in 2018 it looked like he was all but gone and it changed at the last minute. They do not want to get burned again. This makes me even more hopeful that a change is made sunday. I'm not even planning to watch the game live Saturday by choice. First time I've ever made that decision. I'm far, far more interested in Sunday at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post contains indisputable facts. Gus is the only person in the SEC that wanted Nick at QB and then he built the best offense we’ve ever had around him and now gets criticized for it. You folks are illogical to the point of being insane. I understand wanting Gus gone as I too now believe it is better for AU to go in a different direction. But that doesn’t mean you should not give the man credit where credit is due. Nick Marshall is electric and Gus put him in the best possible position to succeed and succeed at AU he did.

Please explain to me why Jarrett Stidham was a better QB when he signed with Auburn than when he left? So you admit that Gus himself isnt an elite recruiter, but Auburn itself is. Interesting. And as far as your nonsense about "jetgate" it is a way to refer to something that happened. Its no different from the "earthquake game," "the night the barn burned," "the interception game" "the Camback," "prayer at Jordan Hare" or the "kick 6." Me saying each and every one of those made you know a specific event that happened. The only difference is most are games, while one is not. I thought Stidham progressed tremendously during the 2017 season up to and including the Iron Bowl. He was much better than he was at the beginning of that season. Then it appeared to me he went into self protection mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree about the “building” part. Matshall was the right man at the right time and had some good skill position players around him. He also had a very solid line to play behind which is what enabled him to show out. It was the same Nick Marshall in ‘14 that had two or three balls batted down at the LOS against Moo State and a phantom OPI call that unraveled that season. Major difference in those two years was Marshall’s pass protection. Offensive line played very well again in 2017 but has regressed overall since. It doesn’t seem like. Gus priority to change that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, it is disturbing that the decision makers who have 8 years of resume to evaluate, would have different outcome options based on a game with a two win roster depleted MSU. Shaking my head in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be one of those qualities in Gus that is maddening to us but also part of what has propelled him far beyond what he "should" have accomplished so far professionally.

Its this thought process that makes me think this weekend does not matter toward him getting fired or not. Why the hell would it really matter if we beat State or not? That just does not line up for me. Now maybe if we get blown out by 35 and the team walks off the field in the 4th quarter then i could see that having an impact. But a normal game where we win or lose by less than 3 scores....yeah i don't see that moving the needle. We shall see though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
