I Malranted enough last year and then had to shut it off because folks got tired of me saying the same things over and over. (Snags underhand tosses the softball toward the plate)
Auburn did exactly what Auburn always does. We had a little success, this time defined by two big wins against our rivals, and we opened up Fort Knox. We did it with Terry Bowden and he was gone 5 games later. We did it with Tuberville, actually because Jimmy Sexton played us, and CTT was gone within a year or two and the program in a shit pile. We did it with Chizik and within a year, the program was back in said shit pile. Now we've done it with Gus and we all see the direction this is heading.
Several of you made excellent points last year in saying that Auburn was also a victim of timing. The coaching carousel had almost ground to a halt and there was little if anything to choose from. UT had gone through about 20 candidates themselves. We almost had no choice other than reworking the man's contract. But 7 years?
Gus lost me several years ago. I honestly don't think he has the confidence and/or self assurance to function at a high level on this stage. I don't think he knows what he wants to do from week to week. He's handled the play calling, given it up, taken it back, given it up, meddled like hell when we had a good thing going, hired a new OC and told everyone Lindsey was running the offensive show...and on and on and on. The saga continues. He should have been fired after the 5 QB, whirly-bird-fest, shit show against Clemson. That in and of itself should have screamed to the powers that be, that this man had pretty much lost it. And how much shit and frustration has gone on since then?
But...we beat Fuck Georgia and Bama. That's worth 7 years and $50 million, right?
