Bigtrain333 98 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 That’s not fair to Gus. Hugh has never had near the success Gus has and Gus didn’t repeatedly lose as 25 point favorites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU120289 380 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 They both could finish 6-6. In that case, the best looking visor takes the tiebreaker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,724 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I never understood why we treated Gus like the worst thing ever. He was a massive disappointment for a ton of his seasons, but the dude operated at a level Auburn has had for a good chunk of its existence (really above that level, but I digress). Especially in terms of volatility. He himself raised the standard for recruiting classes (as compared to Tuberville at least), and deserved to bear the blame for that talent underperforming, but there's no middle ground in the analysis of the guy on this board lol. He's either given a modicum of respect or treated like an evil. Freeze was Gus's inferior when they shared the conference together, so we at least need to see this guy do something here before treating him like he's actually superior to what Gus WAS (was being the operative word) at Auburn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,767 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) The level Gus had us at may just be the best we can realistically hope for. Now, it was obvious that we were not going to be able to keep at that level anymore under him, but I would say that 2016-19 level (which would mean a berth in the playoff every few years) is a reasonable goal to shoot for under Hugh.

Seriously he has lost games that should not even be close just like Gus could never dominate a game against lesser opponents. They have both been failures in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,054 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I know people aren’t comparing SEC game champion, National Championship game appearance, multi SEC West Champion coach Gustav Malzahn to some philanderer that beat Saban twice? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn’t run Gus Malzahn out of here we could’ve had Bo Nix and Gus and Kevin Steele instead of Harsin and Hugh. I think we’d have been on average 2-3 wins better each of the last three years.

bigbird 60,580 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I hate the loss, the way we looked during it, and the jeers afterwards but the tired ass regurgitated complaints that certain individuals had upon his hiring have nothing to do with it. This is just the first opportunity to dirty the water and wave their arms and say, "see! We were right!" when their complaints have nothing, or very little, to do with the game. Pathetic. Complain about the coaching decisions, the players' efforts or deficiencies, the penalties, the in-game decisions, these are relevant, valid, and plenty! Trying to bring up personal s*** he and his family have moved past doesn't. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
