Ok, a couple of things here.
So apparently you not reading the articles or listening to the talk shows, and listening to the recruits or you would see that it's actually not coming off that way.
Sorry, but if you truly believe that, then you are either dumb as I think you are or you have to a impostor. I don't think you know as much football as the people who analyze it for a living, and I will tend to believe them when they tell me that, Malzahn was one of the most highly sought after coordinators, the people up at UT wanted Taylor back and he was highly sought after as well. When the guys at Scout and Rivals tell me that Luper is one of the best recruiters around, I will believe them over you. Have read and heard (once again, from people that get paid to do this for a living) nothing but praise for Thigpen, Rocker, Grimes. I can tell you from personal experience that Philip Lolley has more football knowledge than you or I will ever dream of having.
AUTiger1,
I've been reading the blogs, paper, watching tv, and listening to sports talk. The press has been good for Auburn, and even those bammer homers in the media that were pointing and giggling on monday, by thursday and friday were admitting it was a smash hit for the intended audience of 18 year old kids, their coaches, and teachers. The only group that has steadfastly maintained their moronic take is.....that's right, the rank and file mulletheaded, cocksucking, bammers, and of course their best Auburn friend, GW. And that take is: "Aubies, ignore what you hear and see, take our word for it, it's not working, it won't work, it's a desperation move, and everybody's laughing." Another really stupid take is one that GW has also adopted of "it might turn the heads of some recruits, but the really good ones will be turned off". As if 18 year old kid A with 3 stars on rivals will be impressed, but 18 year old kid with 4 or 5 stars will view it differently. Last I checked the only differences in an 18 year old 3 star or 5 star is God given athletic ability, not mindset.
GW is a one of a kind fucking idiot!
