Get him the fuck out of here.
I know he's "earned" another season, but holy shit. Is that what Auburn is satisfied with? Being completely dominated and overmatched against a team that was fucking up as much as we were?
I don't want to hear about god damn injuries. I want to hear about the nightmare that is Auburn's QB position. Why since Tuberville left, we've watched Kodi Burns, Barrett Trotter, Clint Moseley, Kiehl Frazier, Jonathan Wallace, Jeremy Johnson, Sean White, and JEREMY JOHNSON again be completely inept to compete against SEC defenses.
Sean White has had a good year. I'll give him that. Our run from Miss State to Ole Miss was fun. But those were statistically bad defenses.
And what's most frustrating is that when we need the innovative mind to crank something out, it comes out awful. Clemson, A&M, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama were the best defenses we faced all year and every single one of those game plans were laughable.
I didn't expect to win. In fact, my prediction was pretty spot on (31-13).
I didn't expect to really be embarrassed. Not on a program level. I didn't expect to have to respond to people laughing about our fullback throwing an interception. I didn't expect to see Jeremy Johnson look as obviously horrible as he always has. I didn't expect to see Twirlybird multiple times in the game. I didn't expect to see JFIII provide a spark LATE in the game LATE in the season only to be yanked for a god damn H-Back.
Auburn should never feel embarrassed by the performance on the field or by the game plan from the coaches. I feel like I've been embarrassed too many times in the last ten years, and the only fucking constant is...
Jay Jacobs. As always. I blame him. For something. For losing. For 3 in a row to Bama. For 2-7 to Bama. For rarely beating our main rivals. For being 7 points away from 0-9 to Bama. For 2-8 to Georgia. For it all.
-
You are spot on, but there is no way Jacobs will do anything. We have to hope that the new president comes in, gets rid of Jacobs, and Gus's seat is about a billion degrees next year.
-
I'm sick of it too. However, there's always alcohol. But none for me, I'm not a drinking man. Our performance has been sub par with a few exceptions and Jay Jacobs doesn't have the solution. But who does?
How does Auburn compete with programs that purchase their players? Yes, the coaching on the offensive side of the ball SUX. Who replaces Gus?
Furthermore, Texas hired a good coach today $$$.
Whatever will we do?
Throwing money at the problem doesn't solve the problem, unless you're bama.

Bring in Art Brides as OC/QB Coach. I don't give a fuck about baggage. Fuck the Creed, I want a productive god damn offense to go with our nasty defense.
-
fudge the Creed, I want a productive god damn offense to go with our nasty defense.
Totally agree. I don't give a damn if the entire team is sacrificing 8 year old virgins to an ancient Hittite god. I want to win. I give zero fucks about graduation rates, or if they feed homeless people. Fucking win.
-
I want to know what this Got Damn Yahoo messenger shit is that's pasting over everybody's posts.
-
And yes. I'm officially done with Gus. I'm calm, cool and collected, like I said I was the last couple of years. Not kicking and screaming and rolling in the floor like 4 year old. Bottom line is he knows one way. If that one way is threatened, he panics. Even if it's not threatened, but he perceives it is...he panics.
Honest question/answer. How many times since Gus has been here that you have taken a loss and said, "No way were they a better team. If we had just..."
And you look at the offensive plan and go WHAT....THE....FUCK?
30-12. This game should have been 20-20 with 2:00 minutes to go. Gus/Lashlee He has no clue. Time to move one.

I say this fully realizing there is no way in hell we would ever remotely consider a change. It is what it is. We're stuck for the foreseeable future.
-
I think the powers that be are setting next year up to be a make or break year for Gus. With the talent we have coming back, we should dominate the SEC. If that doesn't happen, I think we will see Gus fired.

You're smoking a strong strain of the Devil's lettuce if you think Jay Jacobs is doing anything to set Gus up to fail. No way. No how.

Losing to Bama makes football less enjoyable for me since I work with 99% Bama fans. Knowing we didn't have a chance in hell of winning the Iron Bowl yesterday is unexceptable. We need to make a change or sell to for winning 7-8 games each year while Bama wins the championship every year.

I get where you're coming from, big dog, but he can't be the measuring stick of success. Almost nobody beats that asshole.
We had a chance, and I'm pissed at Gus for fucking it up, but that can't be the metric.

The real problem here is that; like it or not, they are our biggest rival. Also, Georgia is a very close second.
Any Auburn coach has to use them as their measuring stick. You beat those two and it has been a good season. Gus is falling waaaaaay short of that mark.

0-6 last 3 seasons.
Not one win. Not one. I don't expect to beat them every time. Or even most of the time. Give me 40-45% against Bama. And 50-60% against Uga. As you said, way short.

Georgia Tech went into Athens yesterday and ripped the hearts out of those scumbags. I smiled!

With a roster full of two stars and left overs. Fuck our injuries. Thats bs. We should still be able to beat crap teams like Georgia with the talent left there even with injuries.
It's the coaching. As many have said, our coach cannot coach when the train veers off the tracks slightly. Not one iota.

I must have missed something, I didn't see anything worth laughing about........just bullshit.

Jay Jacob's will retire as AU AD.
But for my money...
Dana Holgorsen would be on my list.
He's 45, educated at Valdosta St., offensive minded and excellent with QBs. Houston is currently courting him.
In the meantime, we could really use Stidham. He might negate the Gushlee effect.

He coached under Hal Mumme & Mike Leach at Valdosta...their offenses were badass. I remember them stopping the game against Livingston to hand out a trophy to their QB. Of course a year later Lane College did the same thing because of their RB (Fred Lane).

His reputation as an insatiable booze hound will probably keep him out of the running.

For me, it has nothing to do with being the measuring stick. Alabama football has simply leached the joy out of the sport for me. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they prosper. There's nothing fun about pre-ordained results. Nothing fun about referees that do little things to make sure they stay on track. Nothing fun about them losing (which they rarely do) but not taking a hit in the polls and STILL being in play for the title. Nothing fun about the conversation that even if they lose their last two games, they'd still make the playoff. Nothing fun about Saban being a bristly asshole and intimidating the media.
Part of the fun of college football is that anything can happen on any given week. It happens at Ohio State where Penn State can pull an upset. It happens at Michigan, LSU, Clemson, and every other college in the country. The rationale is that they are kids and kids are going to have off days, have emotional lapses, or whatever. Not in Shitscaloosa, though.
It's not fun. I don't enjoy it. It bleeds into everything else. I'm sick of seeing them, sick of hearing about them, sick of them being part of the conversation in every fucking game I try to watch. Even if it's Eastern South Michigan playing Cuddlefish State, somehow the chowderhead announcers will work a Saban or Alabama reference into their commentary. Over the last few years I've gradually just quit watching. I don't even watch our games any longer. For the second straight year I did something else rather than watching the Iron Bowl. I just don't care. It wasn't worth it.
It's not fun any more and neither is the arms race of trying to keep up with those assholes where decent men/coaches like Les Miles get canned in favor of a yowling chest thumper like Orgeron, where Tom Herman has a decent season or two and snags a $6 million salary from Texas. It's just not fun.

No argument with any of this.

The short road to newfound success is to do Lashlee a favor, show some fucking backbone (don't wait on a directive or ultimatum) and go get Kendal Briles, the nuts and bolts of the Baylor offense. And as a bonus you go get Stidham...back in the hunt.

He's not coming to Auburn. Neither of them are. Why would they?
I'm disillusioned, in case you haven't noticed.

I watched a couple of series (two, 3 and outs I think) and went back to the casino. Had a better time losing money and drinking house beverages. Don't know and don't care what bowl game Gus/Rhett can fuck up. I am tried of hearing his "coach speak". Should we win the "Cabbage patch bowl" I don't want to hear how that is something to build on for next season. Cubs fans have been saying that for the last 107 years, till this year. I don't care about the media damage, go get Briles. I miss coming back every year, done it 12 years in a row till the last two years, its like avoiding an old friend who is slowly dying and nothing I can do about it.
-

This is why you aren't an AD or coach and probably related to why you are losing money in Vegas.
If you don't think that the Art Briles scandal means something significant, then you can't be helped. That situation would snowball of control. You thought the cam stuff was bad? Ha. The guy covered up rape for Petes sake. I'm no jay Jacobs goodie goodie but I want to be nowhere near Art Briles. He's a piece of shit way beyond what Petrino could ever wish to be. You will land almost no high end recruits or character recruits. Every coach in this conference will have a field day with it in the media and on the recruiting trail. It's program suicide. His son? Maybe.
The last part of your post you sound like a bammer during the Shula years. Is it nice to win? Sure. But Alabama fans like Alabama football. Auburn fans like auburn. Sorry but the football program is a small part of who we are culturally. Important yes. But not life and fucking death. You are talking about how miserable it is to come back to auburn because the football team is sub par. As if that's all auburn is. Good grief man.

One should never ever ever cover for a rapist because he can play football.

^^^The part about our "culture" up there...I couldn't agree more.
It's a balancing act and yes, our football is more important to me than other sports. But, Auburn is more than one or two subpar seasons.
Enough already? I don't know when that is. Maybe next season, if we lose to Georgia and Alabama again. That's getting really old.

1. Most everybody loses money is Vegas, tis why the lights are so bright.
2. I meant the son.
3. Its easy to live close and pick and choose which games you want to go to. Lets say Auburn comes off a really bad season in 2018 and 2019 is not looking good, I am sure you will be one of the first ones lining up to schedule your trip to Dallas.
4.I am talking Auburn athletics as a whole. Football (fall season) is just the time we were choosing to come back for. For right or wrong, athletics are what show off your University.
5. During that 12 years, I saw 2008 and you knew we were going to lose (arky game, we were 18 point favorite), was there in 2012 when you knew A&M was going to kick our butt. 2006 when Gus could coach an offense, just for someone else. (Arky again)
6. When your cross town rivals have 4 of the last 7 and most likely 5 of the last 8 MNC, you tend to be frustrated and I don't get the near the shit that I know you locals have to put of with.
-
Kendal would be really good
Definitely. And I think Stidham is scheduled to visit Tuesday.
-
I have heard on the local sports radio that Rhett is a serious candidate for the Georgia State job. That was about a week ago though, soooo.

Let's help Gus pack too...just throw their shit out onto the grass and change the locks.
-
I don't think Rhett is the problem.
He is....in part. I believe the close/long relationship they have had is a hindrance. Gus, I think, may take advantage of that in the play calling side of things especially control. If Gus was to hire and new OC, it is very likely that Gus would get the middle finger if he stuck his nose in too far.
-
I don't know what the answer is, I really don't. Take just a second, though, and look at the "answers" around the SEC.
1. Tennessee. There was Kiffin, Dooley and now Butch "Winning Life Championships" Jones. The Vols were expected to ride to the SEC East title on a pair of missing eyebrows. Instead? Barely beat App State. Beat a crappy Florida team. Hail mary miracle to overcome crappy UGA. On track for the SEC-CG and a berth in the playoffs! Ooops. Lose to A&M, Lose to Bama, Lose to crappy SC, lose to Vandy. Flames. 8-4 feels like 4-8. They're begging some school to take him off their hands. And he's an assclown on top of it.
2. Georgia. Kirby Smart? Really? This is their guy?
3 -4 . South Carolina. Florida. Would you want Muschamp or Beaver-wain as the HC at Auburn?
5. LSU. Fired the winningest coach in school history and ended up with a position coach in his place -- and a guy who was without peer the worst SEC head coach I've ever seen when he was at Ole Miss. Has he learned THAT much since he was booted from there? His hire reminds me of them getting DiNardo or Ole Miss getting Houston Nutt. It's not going to work.
6. Vanderbilt - Yeah, I'd take their guy. Good hire, but who knows how he'd do on a bigger stage.
7. Kentucky - I'm not sold on Little Game Mark. But he does read as a head coach and Malzahn really doesn't.
8. Missouri - Do they have a coach?
9. Arkansas - Would you really trade Malzahn for that fat, slobby, inept jerkwad? What has he actually done there? Nothing but beat us once so far as I can tell.
10. Texas A&M. Sumlin is a black Gus with a drinking problem. So no.
11. Ole Miss. Freeze is Malzahn with bad teeth and a cheating problem. So no.
12. MSU. Hunchback and his wife can DIAF. He might be a better coach than Malzahn, but I don't like him and wouldn't want him.
So. We run Gus off and what happens? It's a crapshoot. Given the current landscape, it really sort of has to reach a point to where we KNOW there's a better option who wants the job (or we end up like LSU and promote Rodney Garner to HC) or things have gotten so abysmally bad that there's no other option and we have to go a different way.
Whoever we bring in -- when there is a change -- needs to burn it all down and start over. Pat Dye did it. Saban (as much as I hate him) did it. Burn it to the ground, take the first year lumps and start over.
Are we willing to endure that?
-
Are we willing to endure that?
But what's the alternative? Let Gus run Headless Chicken plays with four and five star talent while our main rivals beat us six games in a row?
Are we willing to consider the reality of the SEC? It might seem like Alabama owns it, and it does, but in reality, the entire conference is wide open. There is the opportunity for another Saban-esque dynasty to appear.
Too much talent in the region and too much national exposure for someone not to capitalize. There's no excitement for any incoming high school superstars to attend any of the following schools:
LSU
Auburn
Tennessee
South Carolina
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Miss State
Texas A&M
You could probably throw Florida in the mix too, but they've at least made it to two straight SECCG games.
You get someone as head coach that generates a buzz, and you could reel in a lot of top talent that wants to compete in the SEC.
Did you see the list of recruits at the Iron Bowl to visit Tuscaloosa? 10 5 stars and 47 4 stars. That's absurd. Ohio State had nearly 20 five star recruits at their game.
The league is down and ripe for someone new to come in and assert itself as a dominant #2 that CAN challenge Alabama down the road. Instead we're going to wait it out with Coach Twirlybird until everyone else is out shopping too.
-
No one is challenging Bama as long as Saban is there. The playing field is not level, both in what they're allowed to do and for Nick Saban photos.

Baloney.
Ole Miss beat them two years in a row. Jumped up by 20 this year.
LSU had nearly equal talent to them except for QB.
Georgia nearly beat them in the SECCG in 2012.
We beat them in 2013 and really should have won in 2014.
Ohio State whipped them in 2014 for the most part.
Oklahoma did in 2013.
Everyone wants to concede to that asshole, and yes, he's put together the most impressive dynasty in CFB history. But they aren't invincible. Everyone else has just really shat the bed in trying to challenge them.
You know the SEC has gotten ratty when Ole Miss is the only team to really give them hell the past few years.

Some decent coaching on our end would cut some of that out. We have the players, yes some were hurt, but even without them we should have beat UGA without problem. Look what Tech did to them. Good coaching can take players and elevate their talent. Poor coaching gives you a 7-6, 8-5. Want to say it was the players, same coaches are the ones recruiting them, evaluating talent . I hope we go 16-0 next year, most likely 8-5 again.

7. Kentucky - I'm not sold on Little Game Mark. But he does read as a head coach and Malzahn really doesn't.
8. Missouri - Do they have a coach?
9. Arkansas - Would you really trade Malzahn for that fat, slobby, inept jerkwad? What has he actually done there? Nothing but beat us once so far as I can tell.
10. Texas A&M. Sumlin is a black Gus with a drinking problem. So no.
11. Ole Miss. Freeze is Malzahn with bad teeth and a cheating problem. So no.
12. MSU. Hunchback and his wife can DIAF. He might be a better coach than Malzahn, but I don't like him and wouldn't want him.
So. We run Gus off and what happens? It's a crapshoot. Given the current landscape, it really sort of has to reach a point to where we KNOW there's a better option who wants the job (or we end up like LSU and promote Rodney Garner to HC) or things have gotten so abysmally bad that there's no other option and we have to go a different way.
Whoever we bring in -- when there is a change -- needs to burn it all down and start over. Pat Dye did it. Saban (as much as I hate him) did it. Burn it to the ground, take the first year lumps and start over.
Are we willing to endure that?

Baloney.
Ole Miss beat them two years in a row. Jumped up by 20 this year.
LSU had nearly equal talent to them except for QB.
Georgia nearly beat them in the SECCG in 2012.
We beat them in 2013 and really should have won in 2014.
Ohio State whipped them in 2014 for the most part.
Oklahoma did in 2013.
Everyone wants to concede to that asshole, and yes, he's put together the most impressive dynasty in CFB history. But they aren't invincible. Everyone else has just really shat the bed in trying to challenge them.
You know the SEC has gotten ratty when Ole Miss is the only team to really give them hell the past few years.

Sorry. Snags is right. The big blip on his radar was cam newton in 10. That consistency you see above ain't going anywhere. They may lose one here and there but it's never a trend. Tebow, manziel, cam. Those guys and their type don't come around often and they were a lot of his losses.

Damn right. And if we keep up our defense up and find the right QB to pair with a strong run game we are the greatest threat to win the SEC West, even with the playcalling handicap of Gushlee. There's no conceding.

You can have a lot of talent, but if you can't evaluate how to use it or put them in a position to succeed from a gameplan standpoint, you're going to get exactly what Auburn is getting. Because that's what's happening. Auburn is very talented, especially on defense. But for some reason Gus absolutely cannot accurately evaluate QBs. I think he shoots from the hip on offense far too often. The offensive identity has his personality all over it.
Take the Iron Bowl as an example. What was the plan of attack on offense? What was the angle? I have no idea. It was all over the place. Maybe that was the plan of attack; be all over the place and hope you hit a few big plays for TDs and hope your defense can keep Alabama under 21 points (which was doable)? I don't know. If he allowed his OC to do his job with limited meddling, you guys would be fine. I don't think that Gus' ego will allow it though.

So, what I have learned from this thread is that Auburn's only answer is to fire Malzahn and hire Rhett Lashlee.

Last two successful QB's we had were basically coached by others before they got here, everyone Gus has recruited and coached. Well, :haha:.

We are stuck with Jay Jacobs and Gus' ego.
We run the ball at Auburn. That much Gus understands.
He also understands that we have to make a number of plays from the passing game to pair with the run game. Holding Alabama between 20-24 points along with a couple of turnovers should have been the plan. But our offensive line would have to take it to your defensive line for 2 1/2 quarters and hang on as did OSU in the NCG...this without White and a gimpy Pettway.
If this weren't the case we would have beaten Georgia.
So you see, a number of things had to take place for the improbable to happen.
We can't but hope to have enough talent to beat Alabama maybe once every three years or so. Not conceding a damn thing but that's the reality...the same reality over 120+ power conference programs would come to know if they were in the same state and in the SEC West.

Fuck you. You're a dumb ass...

The short road to newfound success is to do Lashlee a favor, show some fucking backbone (don't wait on a directive or ultimatum) and go get Kendal Briles, the nuts and bolts of the Baylor offense. And as a bonus you go get Stidham...back in the hunt.
He's not coming to Auburn. Neither of them are. Why would they?
I'm disillusioned, in case you haven't noticed.

Kiffin to FAU
Yep, I reported that a couple of hours ago on my radio show.
No shit, I got to co-host a sports talk show this morning. A buddy of mine is doing a talk show and his partner got sick, so he asked me to sit in. I was imparting Snagalicious 411 on the Wiregrass. That was a freakin' blast. They announced Kiffin to FAU just as we went on the air.
While we were talking about it, I said I had never understood the Kiffin to LSU talk. Lateral move, same division, get your eyes beat out every year by your former boss. Just then, one of the ladies that works there comes in the door and hands me a note that says, "Because the LSU co-eds are much sluttier".
I giggled audibly.
