My opinion, we should cut ties before it gets even fucking worse...  And Jay Jacobs should be fired based solely on the fact that he approved Malzahn's current buyout.

[dallaswareagle]

It should be noted that the majority of the losses in this treacherous 2015 season have been due to poor playcalling, poor player development, and poor substitutions, all on offense.

DAMN SKIPPY

You don't need a comma before "and".

I didn't write it.  I completely stole it from some guy on TigersX.

We should, but we also can't.

Chad has a great point. We can't just fire coaches the moment something looks off. Malzahn will get and deserves another year.

But like you and I think, it's not going to get better. Maybe it will. Hopefully it will. Maybe hopefully not. Maybe this needs to completely destruct like in 2012 and maybe we'll get rid of this shit system. Maybe a 9 win season next season is the worst thing that can happen to us.

We WERE one of the top programs in the best conference in the country. 
 

Quite honestly other than the aberrations of 2010 and 2013, we've steadily been sliding into the middle or lower middle of the pack consistently battling Ole Miss, MSU and Arky to stay off the deck.

As I've said before, once Coach Malzahn gets a Dual Threat QB, he'll be back to his old self. Gimpy and Dufus will be card holders or placekick holders.

If Sean White is 100% healthy and our guys can catch 4 out of 10 dropped passes against Arky...we're 7-3 right now..8-3 and ranked in the top 25 going into the Iron Bowl.  But we're not and JJ started against UGA and Malzahn shit the bed.

Hold on there kid. No need to get hysterical... not yet anyway.

On basically not playing the back in the second half who averaged 9.5 yards per carry in the first....

"I think (Robinson) got four (carries) in the second half," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday. "Peyton, we went with him and we've got confidence in both of them. That was our thinking."


On putting in a one-legged QB when you're up 10-3..... (Yes, I think this was posted already)

"We knew we were going to play both quarterbacks," he said. "We made that call before the game and just felt like that was a good time to put him in there. We felt like we had some good opportunities in the passing game. We went three-and-out and it obviously didn't work out, but that was our thought process."


Sooooo....you really can't explain going with Barber over Robinson.  I honestly think he doesn't know why he did it.  And you had already made the decision to play a QB who could barely jog on to the field in his knee brace.  So you played him regardless of the situation.  That was your thought process?

He is telling us a lot of "what" there that we already know. People want to know "why".

Chad is right.

And Prowler probably is too in re to the dual threat coming in. Its obvious JJ was a misfire, and anything Gus does is predicated on the QB play. Neither of our QBs are dual threats. When it went to shit first game, the house of cards fell. This season has simply been trying to see if ANYTHING works and tread water until JF III comes in next year. I do think you will see things get better with this type QB.

I understand people are upset, but I think we need to take a deep breath and chillax for a second. As Chad said, we start firing any coach we have the second something isnt all kosher, then we dig our own hole deeper.

Pretty much agree with all of this except the opinion that our current QBs are lost causes. 

White, when healthy and getting some help from his WRs, is plenty talented to run this offense.

JJ showed flashes of his old/predicted self at A&M.

I think White is plenty talented. I just think the Offense Gus runs hums best when it has a dual threat. White would be more like Chris Todd + 1 style of O. But we were steamrolling teams with Cam and Nick for the most part. Offensively anyway. 2 or 3 of the best offensive games weve ever had against Bama in their history where with those 2 guys at QB. I would love to get back to that zone read that was unstoppable. With a running QB, we can do it. I just hope JF III is all what they say he is.

[WiregrassTiger]

We're a QB away from being a 1 loss team.

[RottenBottom]

]The getting a good QB argument is horse shit. What is usually the first of second pick in the NFL draft?  A fucking quarterback. Look at what Mike Shula is doing with Cam; it's easy to win with a good QB and Gus has failed to get one in the third year of his tenure.

If he knew he needed a dual threat why didn't he recruit for that? Because Gus is a high school coach who only knows how to coach players he's given every year. He doesn't know his identity enough to build a major college football program.  Take a look at how Muschano is actually being succesfull and it's obvious Gus is that same high school coach the bammers said he was.

Would love to believe that but Ark and OM were on the D. Ya cant give up 1000 yards in 2 games and win.

[WiregrassTiger]

True. I meant to imply that, if the D were playing at the current level, we would probably only be a 1 loss. Obviously, they've improved steadily. Still, not where they can be.

I'm just saying that with the right QB on this team, as we are playing now and we're in the thick of things.

[CCTAU]

Yes. But if you hold onto the ball a bit longer, they don't get the chance to put up those yards. Its a symbiotic relationship.
