If a new coach who’s only known you a week gets you, then Auburn never had a real chance Looks like Antonio Coleman is still with AU, but Bama and a few more are not out of the picture per him.

AUwent 3,763 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Should we be worried? I know it's super duper early but it just seems like we're on a bit of a cold streak with regards to targets naming their favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shabby 1,958 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The schedule is brutal next year with Georgia and Alabama away. I'll be happy with gradual improvement each year. I truly think the thing recruits want to see is a program moving in the right direction. That and NIL money! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to over achieve then because I see us having the same regular season record with gradual improvement hinging on the bowl game. Don’t think we see a true 180 until after this upcoming class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive line will be better receivers will be better running back stable will be better and more experienced. And I think the coaching staff is better and more and sink with one another. Let's revisit in 9 months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact of the matter is the other teams we are playing will also be better and the schedule as a whole is tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s about equal…the two toughest teams on schedule last year were at home. *At least in theory*, I feel like in a rebuilding process it’s better to get the teams that you’d have a better shot at beating on a neutral field anyway. Put it this way—all other things being the same would you want a presidential candidate from whatever largest state is opposite your party (CA or TX) or from a swing state? But if you’re correct and we have as many senior starters as we’re projected to, that would be COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

Arky will still be bad. Kentucky we didn't play last year. California will be an easier game. Texas a&m will be an unknown. We should do better this year. 7 and 5 or 8 and 4 are possible and reasonable expectations with a year two coach putting a team back together in a conference as tough as this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama being worse means absolutely nothing because they still have a quality coach , like the Aggies with more than enough talent to match. Kentucky is a toss up. Missouri will probably be favorites. Then you still have UGA, Oklahoma. Those are six games that are either toss ups or teams who absolutely can match us in talent. Then , BECAUSE I KNOW OUR MEMORIES ARE SHORT, you absolutely cannot overlook a single team, whether that be Cal or Louisiana-Monroe. This team is not good enough top to bottom to do that.

And, given all that, one more win in year 2 shouldn’t be too much of an ask. Unless we’re committing to starting a LOT of underclassmen to set up a big jump in year 3.

Just find it funny that people think it is far-fetched in a rebuild to lose six games next year. It is definitely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
