It is falling, and for one reason. Most Auburn people think so. Sadly, whether they admit it or not, most Auburn people buy the constant "little brother" shit pumped out of WJOX and the papers around the state. They believe no coach really wants to be at Auburn, they're simply relegated there until they can find a way out. They believe Roof bailed to UCF, not that he was told by Chiz a few weeks back "Find another gig, I've got to make a change".
I wouldn't have hired Gus at a major BCS program, but not for the same reason many of you wouldn't. I don't give a shit about the performance of the offense this season. I know why it was, and it was no surprise, except maybe for Trotter. Gus hasn't been in the college ranks very long. Running a major program isn't like running an offense. Gus doesn't have near the experience I'd want, even from an OC.
Ark. State? Good move, and like this season at Auburn, not unexpected. It's a perfect place for him to prove he has the HC skills. You can win there.
If I were Gus, I'd give Auburn folks the big
No appreciation or any credit for anything accomplished, none. All the good players? They came that way. The ones that didn't or haven't yet stepped up? All his fault for not tutoring or developing them. Idiotic, and sad, but that's the way it is.
I just hope we go I formation, it's the only real football there is. And at least Auburn people will feel better if we go 7-5 running "The I formation".
