What the hell happened with Gus? Is it the pressure of being a head coach at the highest level of college football? Has that made him delusional? Scared? What is it? Because what this quarterback is seeing as I sit in my armchair, is a football coach that's completely lost his way.
I thought going into this season that he had finally hit on the one thing that may save his job and put Auburn back on the map, his proclamation that he was going to stay out of the way and let the OC he hired take the reins. We all knew AU had a truck load of talent and all they really needed was direction. Any direction. And CCL had already shown he could light up the scoreboard. No telling what he could do with elite level talent. But I said before the season even started that I just didn't believe Gus could keep his word. And he didn't!
So now, instead of 7-0, which we should be, and ranked in the top 5, which we would deserve to be, we have 2 shittastic losses that should never have happened and we're an afterthought to the 2017 season discussion. All because our head coach has lost his frucking mind and can't simply leave it the hell alone.
Well three head coaches should be vacating their jobs in the SEC West barring their enormous buyouts and at least one from the East. And of all I still think Auburn is a best job.
I don't have any delusions of being able to match Alabama however the goal is to split with them.
Need to beat LSU and UGA more than they beat us. But oh no, we have to raise Orgeron up to Smart level.
Stomp everyone else's asses.
That's places 1-3, not 4th, 5th or worse.
Patterson has two losing seasons in seventeen years.
There are down, rebuilding or reloading years. It's expected and understood.
And no realistically I don't think we get a guy like that but you have to make a very persistent effort.
