You know, there's always the knee-jerk reaction to losses.
But I'm pretty sure this sticks.
I'm done with Chizik. Thanks for the memories.
I think 2010 was more than just Cam. Even more than just Malzahn. There was a perfect storm from the Senior OL to a phenomenal OC, to an oustanding DT, to a clutch kicker. And yes, even Chizik being able to weather the tropical storm of media & NCAA vitriol, that later came to be known as unfounded.
I thought you were doing things the right way. Recent arrests,etc., while I still believe to be greatly exaggerated, are still counter to that line of thinking. I thought you could win the games you weren't supposed to win, while handling every game you were favored in. Obviously, that's no longer.
We're about to be 1-3 each against Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, & LSU. We're about to get raped by the SEC n00b. Take away the one fantastic beautiful year, and what the fuck are you left with? I know that no cherry-picking can take away that fantastic year. Possibly the best day of my entire life. But goddamn, enough is enough. I'm disgusted. There's no hope for this team. Last week, I thought there was. I did not think it was possible to lose to this team this week. I sure as shit didn't think we'd see the prison rape we just saw.
This is unacceptable. No way to spin it.
I feel exactly like I did in Tuberville's last year. The undefeated season was great, and I'll never forget it. It will forever be a part of Auburn lore. Thanks for your service. Thanks for the memories. But I'm afraid, your time has expired.
Depressingly, I don't think we have any viable options. As has been discussed, Petrino's the only realistic option we've got. And it's a terrible one. We're gonna have all the dickface of Saban with half the success.
It's a dark, dark day.
