5-7 or 6-6
Even if we eek out another win my ceiling is 7-5. Talking heads are saying 9-3 I don't see it, our schedule is pretty brutal this year. Who the fudge knows anymore.
Fuck yall!I have low expectations, that's why I'm so easy.
15-0
Fuck yall!20
15-0
Jarhead and I both think that the game that decides Gus's fate is UF. Assuming my prediction and we lose to Oregon we would be 2-4 after losing to UF.Who would be the interim? Steele?
I think Gus would be fired at that point. Jarhead thinks he's gone if we lose to UF and are 3-3, I think he would still be retained.
Who would be the interim? Steele?Hadn't really thought that much about it....I would assume he would be the one since we no longer have an OC and he seems to be one of the few that knows what he is doing.
Fuck yall!and no FUCK GUS...I learned it by watching him.....I learned it by watching him!
15-0
and no fudge GUS...I learned it by watching him.....I learned it by watching him!I have found a new avatar. Thank you.
I have found a new avatar. Thank you.HA....I added some text for you.
If my math is correct, that would be an 8-4 regular season and would most likely be followed by a Florida bowl that no one really cares about.This scenario will lead to another contract extension for Gus who will replace the OC with another scapegoat. Losing to Wisconsin or Northwestern in the Gaspirilla Vodka Bowl will barley matter.
This scenario will lead to another contract extension for Gus who will replace the OC with another scapegoat. Losing to Wisconsin or Northwestern in the Gaspirilla Vodka Bowl will barley matter.I would say depends on who the 4 losses are to, and how we lost them. I don't think he gets to fire another OC. This season is on him, he has made that clear.

We are starting a brand new QB (regardless) so like most programs (not bama) we are sure to have up's and down's what I think Gus needs to do to keep his job besides win, is show improvement throughout the year.
So, do what he’s only done once (2013) in his time as HC if we are being honest.pretty much

I wish I had Buzzy's optimism.Fixed all that for ya'.
I said5-76-6, and I'm sticking to that.
Gus has taken us from LSU/UGA/aTm being swing games we need to win to get to a better New Years Day game, to MSU/Arkansas/Ole Miss being swing games we need to win to qualify for a Bowl Game. Thanks, Gus.
Oregon Loss
Tulane Win
Kent State Win
@Texas A&M Loss
Mississippi StateLossWin
@Florida Loss - And with this, we drop to 2-4, and head into a bye week.I think we keep up with the latest trend of big colleges to fire the lame duck coach early, and get a jump on finding a new coach. Steele made interim HC.Gus enjoys the bye week because after the huge win over Mississippi State the week before, he was given a 3 year extension, a raise to $8.5 mil and a buyout of $75 mil.
@Arkansas Win
@FuckLSU Loss
Ole Miss Win
FuckGeorgia Loss
Samford Win
FuckAlabama Loss
Fixed all that for ya'.If that happens, I'm hiring you to cut a bitch.
If that happens, I'm hiring you to cut a bitch.Auburn gonna' Auburn.
Buncha defeatist pussy talk happening in here.The real question for me is, can Gus keep his head out of his own ass?
Even in our mediocre years the PAC12 is inferior. We can out-athlete them across the board.
UGA and Bama are the only games in which I'll consider us underdogs at this point. And both are beatable.
I'm not declaring 15-0 (trademarked, copyrighted, all rights reserved for Sani) but I'm certainly not going to tell you that we're going sub .500.
8-11 wins and the wide range is due, of course, to the Gus-factor.
The real question for me is, can Gus keep his head out of his own ass?Negative ghost rider.
Negative ghost rider.Even when he doesn’t - they are still better than most of those shit conference teams. Case in point - Purdue. Everyone. Or nearly everyone picked those asshats to beat us. And we set bowl records on their big 10 asses.
Buncha defeatist pussy talk happening in here.It isn't defeatist pussy talk it's the reality. I just don't see the wins you see. I want to be optimistic, I love being optimistic.

It isn't defeatist pussy talk it's the reality. I just don't see the wins you see. I want to be optimistic, I love being optimistic.I'm in agreement here. First, I've never really put much stock in the theory that Gus has to have a "Pre-trained" QB to succeed. I've always thought why wouldn't you bring in a QB with prior experience? But the fact is, he's never done shit with a QB recruited out of H.S. and we're sitting here with 2 battling it our for the starting job who are exactly that. I'm not saying Gatewood or Nix will fail by any means, but until I see one of them look like anything other than 3 day old road kill in a real game, my pecker ain't budging either.
However, I'm looking at the reality. IMO we had a better team last year and finished 7-5 ...8-5 over a mighty Purdue. QB is the big player in this game, and we have no idea what we have. Including Gus has shown time after time that he can fuck up even the best QB.
I want to be on that train with you, but every time I step on we hit a pothole and I get thrown 50 feet in the air and hurt my ass.
I see guaranteed wins against the 3 nobodies and Ole Miss and Arky. That get's us to 5.
Assuming losses to FUGA and bammer. I could possibly agree with you that FUGA is beatable, but I don't see us beating the turds not even at home. I also think FUGA has the better team than us right now, Jake Fromm from State Farm at the QB position gives them the edge.
That leaves us with Oregon, @ aTm, Miss State, @ Florida and @ LSU - That's a tough slate.
You said 8 wins, are you happy at that number? What makes you giddy? I think I would be surprised if we got 8 this year, but it doesn't move my pecker. Like I said it all depends on what those wins and losses look like. We get 8 wins and look to be a team making strides through the year, maybe I'm ok. Yet Gus has never shown that in his entire tenure save for 2013.
I like your attitude, I love your optimism, I just don't see the signs.
Hell 10 wins but with trouncings by FUGA and bammer. Maybe a trouncing by bammer would be excepted given what they are, but FUGA ...ugh.You like lots of different tastes in your mouth.
No one likes that taste in their mouths.

What kind of world has this become when I become the voice of optimism? I weep for the future.We all began weeping when we met you.
We all began weeping when we met you.Not as much as his wife weeps on a daily basis.
Not as much as his wife weeps on a daily basis.DUH! She has to fuck him.
Let me throw out another scenario...let's say we get to 9 wins. (doubtful, but a respecatable number of wins right?!?)Is it better if 2 of the 3 losses are to miss state and Oregon? The other one being Bama. Then it’s a disappointing unexpected loss. Is that better than one you expected to a better team? I’m not sure. I remember losing to ark inexplicably during the tubs reign. And ga tech. But we beat Bama most of the time. I’m just not sure which is worse. Pick your poison.
what if the 3 losses were to fueax LSU, FUGA and bama?
Is anyone excited about that?
BTW that would put Gus at 2-5 against fueax LSU, 2-6 against FUGA, and 2-5 against bama,
BTW that would put Gus at 2-5 against fueax LSU, 2-6 against FUGA, and 2-5 against bama,It would also put us at 4-3 vs Miss State, and a 3-4 Bowl game record.
It would also put us at 4-3 vs Miss State, and a 3-4 Bowl game record.Let's put it another way as well if we were to lose to feaux LSU that would put Gus 0-3 against Yawyaw. That fucking says a lot!
Let's put it another way as well if we were to lose to feaux LSU that would put Gus 0-3 against Yawyaw. That fucking says a lot!That was the argument I was countering back when they gave him the extension. Now granted, this was at a time when coaching searches at a lot of big schools were wrapping up and a ton of coaches were off the market. But my take was simple. Yes, you had two big time wins against our two biggest rivals who were #1 at the time. Great accomplishment. So here's a nice bonus check. Go buy you a beach house or some toys. He had, I believe, 3 years left on a $5+ mil a year deal and other than those two wins, he hadn't done shit since 2013. I guarantee that any half decent mid major coach can go 7-6...8-5 at Auburn. Hell, I could for that matter. If you want to pass on a big bonus and $5 million to coach here, then take yo' country ass to Arkansas and tell them how bright the future is there.
Yawyaw Football - Salary: 3.5 million / Buyout: 6 million
Gustafson Malzahn - Salary: 6.8 million / Buyout: 27 million
Seems legit! By the way that goes to all the naysayers out there that say, what are you going to get that's better than Malzahn, I say apparently there is a lot. SMH

But Auburn did what Auburn does. They let a little euphoria cloud their judgment and cause them to make bone-fucking-headed decisions.

Just five more short years and we are in the free and clear.
I don't disagree with most of this if the analysis happens in a vacuum, but the buyout + market salary + next buyout when new guy doesn't beat Saban = Auburn insolvency.I guess ultimately, I wanted Gus to make the decision for us. He had just finished off two unbelievable wins against our 2 hated rivals. And knocked them both off their lofty perches at the time. He deserved a pat on the back and little sumpn' sumpn' to take to the bank. But not one of the most lucrative, ridiculously one-sided contracts in college football. I don't know what swayed the PTB more, the 2 euphoric wins or the fact that Arkansas was punking us again?
I wouldn't have stroked the check/contract for Gus's extension, but I for damned sure wouldn't have been shopping when 3-4 other SEC teams (plus some other conference "heavyweights") were throwing money around to a VERY limited group of qualified names.
Weather the storm...we'll pay less to Gus for the same results (with a dash of hope for brighter days) than we would to pay Gus and his successor(s) until the eventual fall in Ttown.
But Auburn did what Auburn does. They let a little euphoria cloud their judgment and cause them to make bone-fucking-headed decisions.I had the same euphoria.
