Four losing season in a row. Three Head Coaches. A whole bushel of players come, go, and wasted. A program that last hit double-digit wins in 2017 and that's the only time in the last 10 years.

Kudos to a defense that played with a lot of fury and was often left on the field or in bad positions all too often. They should not be allowed to address other players from other teams in public ever again.

The offense that never got in gear. The best two games against the nine P4 teams were Kentucky and Texas A&M. Kentucky was a mess and it's the one time we trusted Jarquez Hunter in four years. The A&M game really stands out because that's a talented defensive unit and they were countered by our offense all night. Other than that, it was a lot of fits, stops, and stupidity. Stupid design, stupid coaching, and stupid execution. Stupid.

It's time to take a look in the mirror and realize the football program is in a severe state of disrepair. There's no quick fix. No easy answers. One recruiting class is not going to fix it. Two or three might not even with how easy the transfer rules are these days. One QB isn't going to magically fix it. We had that guy. He was truly once in a lifetime. There are not Cam Newtons out there and if there are, they aren't interested in Auburn.

Patience is needed, but that's only afforded (or affordable) if we know the right people are in place all through leadership to get this right. Do we?

What do you think?

We're fucked for a good long while.  The long rebuild process to build a foundation of solid football players that can be enhanced with the occasional superstar is hamstrung by the portal and general "get mine now since we can have public bidding wars" attitude of the top recruits.

Eventually, the dust will settle on NIL and boosters will grow tired of throwing generational money at HS kids who haven't pissed a drop in the big leagues. 

For now: BOHICA.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.
