I could reply to all these different threads, but it would be a waste of time... I stand by my article last week. This situation sucks. The situation sucks badly. I have to disagree with all the calls for coaches heads and talk about how they don't know their asses from holes in the ground. (Although the shallow kick offs did send my cell phone almost flying across the room once or twice...that was just stupid bullshit....but then again, Tuberville did the same stupid shit against them just a year or two ago that gave them game winning field position...it's not exclusive to this staff.)
Look, we ALL knew that we were going to struggle this year. We ALL know that our depth is a bullshit situation. We ALL know that Tuberville for whatever reason gave up last year. He was done. Period. We ALL seem to know this, but still come out with twenty five thousand different reasons why we're going downhill the rest of the season. Virtually everything from the players, individual coaches, schemes to the style cup the coke is served in is getting blamed. Frustration is a bitch when there is no clear answer to the collective problem.
Gus Malzahn might suck over a period of time, but if he doesn't have an effective QB, it's not going to work. If you can't mix up at least the threat that you can pass it down field you limit your running game. It's all tied together. Chris Todd isn't, and I don't believe is capable of getting it done anymore...at ALL. He has severely hamstrung this offense and therefore the playcalling of our offensive coaches. I don't know what the fuck Todd's problem is, but to say at minimum that his confidence is gone is an understatement.
I'm sorry, I know there are a few here that handle their business by just announcing how smart they are and how any opinion other than FUCK EVERYTHING is fucking idiotic, but I'm not going to call Auburn a lost cause down the road with THIS staff.....yet.
I want to see Tyrik Rollison, or Barret Trotter next year. I want to see depth on D with arguably the most explosive linebacker recruiting classes we've had in years. I want to see McCallebb and Dyer (Seastrunk?????) and Antonio Goodwins and Blakes and a more experienced Benton and other receivers. I want to see these guys behind the OL recruits like Ed C, possibly Mack. I want to see a staff actually have time to excecute their plans without getting shit canned because dino-brain fuck everything mental cases can't control themselves.
The rest of this year is going to suck. Our players are tired, whooped, frustrated, chopped, diced, pistol whipped and bitch slapped. We know it. I know it. It's going to be embarrassing, but I have to believe with a lot of the other things I've seen, and with the recruiting that's going on, that there's better things ahead. Bammers will more than likely be celebrating their first "streak" versus Auburn in a LONG time. So fucking what? I hate it, but I'd be PROUD to see the SEC West come down to the Iron Bowl again, and I think it COULD happen....and soon.
So, anyway, I've got no problems with the way anyone's approached this. Everyone needs to handle this how they see fit, but I don't believe it's time to fucking write off Auburn football for five to ten years as others have expressed. I'm just going to have to agree to disagree....
My take after sleeping on it...
