I didn’t watch much of it today. Why? Because we got about what I unfortunately expected. Outstanding defense and warmed over bird shit offense.
I don’t think we need any bigger sample size.
In his 10 years as OC/HC this monkey fuck coach has produced two and one half offenses that were not complete abortions. He has NEVER — and I mean NEVER — had a quarterback improve under his tutelage.
Nix has talent — or so I’ve heard. He looks like a ten-year old girl playing flag football in front of her grandmother’s house. That’s on Gus. Period.
I realize Dickfuck Jones at Alabama has the benefit of a line that holds on every play and receivers that are running with nobody within ten yards of them. But that worthless piece of shit looks like a QB. He’s at least hitting the receivers who are open.
I’m tired of this dumbass, hard headed, scoring-points-is-like-shitting-a-watermelon motherfucker. I’m tired of watching him squander some of the best defenses I’ve seen at Auburn since Dye-Tuberville.
This clown’s “offense†is painful to watch. It’s a bag of wet dirty turds. It’s fucking embarrassing.
LSU’s defense is mediocre. They are going to lose games. But Gus and his limp dick offense couldn’t take advantage.
I’m sick of it.
-
It's best that I not comment too much. I'm so frustrated about the whole ordeal. Hell, they beat us with field position and time of possession alone.
-
Well, it's the same ole same ole. The defense keeps things together as long as they can yet again while the offense looks like garbage. Frustrating. I had to turn away so many times in the 2nd half so I didnt have to watch the catastrophe. There is so much I could say about the play calling as could all of us. Instead, it could easily be summarized by pointing out Whitlow comes into the game to run the Mildcat (that so called secret is stupid in of itself) rather than Gatewood. That play gained hardly nothing and put Whitlow in risk of further injuring his knee, if in fact he is injured. I mean, at the very least Gatewood poses a threat to pass the dang ball and let's not forget he is an actual duel threat QB. That's just one example of many offensive play calling jokes. Two years in a row, Gus gets out coached by Farmer Fran. If Gus is HC next, I'd be willing to bet he wont have Steele as DC.
-
Can it get any worse? YES. Wait until next year, when the Gus Bus finally has to leave. Young Oline and Dline could prove hazardous to Gus' tenure. Definitely want to keep Steele, but he has to be frustrated with Gus too. I would be. It also doesn't help that the defense was held all night. The facepages are loaded with screenshots of holding.
-
It's not even really playcalling.
Everything we do on offense looks tentative, confused and like we really haven't practiced it much. Yes, Nix sucks like a brand-new Dyson but whose fault is that?
How many SHITACULAR offenses has this so-called offensive-mastermind thrown out there?
1. Trotter/Turtle
2. Jeremy Johnson
3. Sean White/Johnson/Franklin
4. Stidham last year looked like a damned baby waddling around with a dirty diaper
Nick for a season and a half overcame his hard-headed shit because we had an outstanding offensive line (that he didn't recruit) and good running backs. Cam was the eighth wonder of the world and covered an asston of deficiencies.
Stidham turned it on for two games when Kerryon was running the ball 80 times a game. Other than that? Our offense is a vast wasteland of dried up acrid shit and bumfuckery the likes of which I haven't seen since I ran the seventh grade team out there for their first time in pads.
Player development under Gus is horrible. Name a single offensive player who improved over their Auburn career. One. Just one fucking player who got better. I'm trying and I can't think of a single one. I can think of an assload that came in with a lot of fanfare and then regressed into baboon shit (or got kicked off the team). Can't think of any whose ability or understanding of the game was enhanced by Mr. Whizzard one single iota.
Adjustments are just as bad. He's never been able to look at the situation and go "hey, let's do something different" unless that something different is a fucktarded dipsy doodle quadruple reverse swing pass to a fan in the 14th row.
I listened to his mealy-mouthed post-game and wanted to throw up on his vest and then beat the shit out of him.
Could it be worse? Hell, I guess we could be Tennessee or some shit like that but on days like today I just wonder if that wouldn't be better. It disgusts me to watch this magnificent defense wasted by his bull-headed ineptitude on offense.
A good offense under Gus is the motherfucking anomaly, not a bad one. Fuck that dude.
Our offensive staff?
1. Dip Dillyshit -- a fucking "yes man", co-OC with no actual coordination duties and little history. And he's the "quarterbacks coach" Fuck me running.
2. Kodi Fucking Burns -- a fucking "yes man", co-OC with no actual coordination duties. And he's the WR coach. Our receivers are the second-worst coached group in college football -- behind our quarterbacks.
3. Larry Porter -- H-Backs. Who the fuck is Larry Porter and do we even HAVE a fucking H-Back?
4. Carnell Williams - I loved Carnell. Good guy. But he's our RBs coach. No coaching history to speak of. We hired him away from the Birmingham Iron. On any other staff he'd be a damned GA while he got some experience.
5. Cryptkeeper Grimes - OL. Another "yes man" who owes Gus personally.
There's nothing in that group that offers anything in the way of different ideas or innovation. Nobody to punch Gus in the nuts when he needs it.
I'm tired. I'm so so tired. I'm tired of watching this mastermind's offenses flop and flail around like a gutted fish on the deck of a sinking ship.
Ed Orgeron is 50 times the head coach Malzahn is. At least.
And I'm telling you now, LSU is going to get its shit pushed in at least twice this season. They did not beat us, our own complete and total failure to prepare the players on offense or develop anything that resembled a major college offensive gameplan did that.
where's the tylenol?
-
You people just shut up. Leave Malzahn alone. You’ll see . That monkey WILL impregnate that football. You just wait and see!

The best defense no one will remember.
Fuck you, Gus.

Obviously stuck with Gus and this entire offensive staff.
Like to see Gatewood take over so Nix won't become the focal point of fan frustration. This offense is horrible to the core.

I think you have to TRY Gatewood at this point. Nix is in way over his head right now. He will be fine versus Ole Miss and the other cupcake in NOV but against the big boys he just looks lost. The Ga game may end up being a 10-7 affair.

It won't matter. Gus could take John Elway, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Brett Favre and not manage to do shit with them.
Look around you, Ellen!
Florida's QB goes down. His backup comes into the game and they keep moving the ball.
SC's QB goes down. Next man up is prepared.
Alabama's QB goes down. Some skinny drizzle ass twig comes in and plays like a champ
ANYWHERE else that's what happens.
And look at us. Kerryon goes down and we don't have a single RB capable of even handling a pitch. The entire offense grinds to a halt. We've never, ever, ever, ever had a capable backup QB under Gus because we rarely have a capable starter. The man fucks quarterbacks up.
I don't want to go through some long walk through the desert like Tennessee has or FSU is doing now, but what's the point of recruiting well and having one of the best defenses in the country when you've got the fucking Keystone Cops running the offense?
I'm not even mad. I've just seen all I want to see of this tentative, no-route-running, weak-ass OL, unprepared, badly schemed, clusterfuck on the field. Look at this asshole's history? 75% of the time that's what his offense looks like. A shitty 1A high school team.
It's disheartening. It's defeating. It's depressing.
How many times do we have to listen to this needle dick stand up there and say "that's on me..." Well no shit Fucklock. It's on you. Egg all over your stupid boomface.
I've heard people talk about how close we played LSU. That's horseshit. There was never any real possibility we would win that game. Gus made sure of that before they ever got off the bus.
He does not know how to prepare a team. Our QBs (all the way back to Cam) display shockingly bad mechanics and it never gets better. We bash the hell out of Turtle Moseley but have you ever looked at his high school film? He was a better QB at Leroy than he was after Gus' "training"
Gustard is a fucking private high school coach and that's all he'll ever be. Even while he bathes in money, he's no more adept than any other prep coach bouncing around out there.
Okay, I'm a little mad.

It's time to accept reality, folks. This is what we are. 9-3/8-4/7-5. Third, Fourth, or Fifth in the SEC West. We dominate the Mississippi teams, Arkansas, and swap punches with aTm. Alabama and LSU are ahead and will stay there. Though, on occasion, we snake bite Alabama, it doesn't change their overall trajectory. Whereas, once Auburn beats Alabama, the glorious tailspin that follows gets deeper and deeper.
So, we have four choices, as I see it.
1. Support the team, roll with the punches, be happy with what we have and get.
b. Give up on the football team, lean into the basketball, softball, baseball, and animal-wrangling teams.
III. Keep riding the roller coaster that is Auburn football fandom knowing the toll will be heavy.
Quatro. Picket the BoT, burn merch, return and refuse tickets until TPTB fire the Gustav and hire...another one just like him?
It's frustrating, infuriating, and annoying, but that is life as an Auburn fan. Highs and lows. Hills and valleys. Genius and stupidity.
-
It's not even really playcalling.
You are right, it isn't but that one example explains a lot that is wrong with Gus and what Gus at the helm does to this team. The play itself, the mindset to call that play, the design of the play, the personnel........etc. This thinking infects the whole program, how can it not?
-
I met two guys in a bar Saturday night. It was magical. Srsly, I was in New Orleans this weekend and Saturday night, a bunch of folks were arriving back at the hotel after the game. I had a conversation with two guys who were actually in town for the N.O./Arizona game on Sunday, but had been invited by a friend to go to the game in Baton Rude. They had no dog in the fight and were just happy to take in a college game in that atmosphere.
Their impression was simple. Both very talented but watching the two team's offenses were night and day. They described LSU as surgical and looked like they knew exactly what they wanted to do on every play. The exact opposite was the case for Auburn. They said it looked like there was no game plan and the coordinator was winging it every series, hoping something worked.
So, if you take the bias out of it, take off the orange and blue sunglasses, take off the purple and yellow shades....that's pretty much what it is.

Bullshit!!! 3 1/2 maybe. 4 at the most.
Here's the thing, when I talk to non-Auburn fans and try to explain why I'm not happy with this or that when it comes to football, most look at me like I'm crazy and ask why we don't like Gus Malzahn. He's a great coach. He took y'all to the MNC game.
Like most fans passionate about their team, we follow it. We break down every play. "Damn it, Gus. you have two downs to make 4 yards and you try and fling it 40 yards downfield." It was almost affirming to hear some totally unbiased fans watch an Auburn game and their observation is, "One team knows that they're doing. The other has no clue."

He will never LEARN. And this is where I have a problem. From whom is he supposed to learn? The son of a bitch has never had anything other than his own voice to listen to. He has no resources. He can't call up somebody he used to coach with for pointers -- because he doesn't have the resume. Houston Nutt? Chizik? After that it's a wasteland.
Fuck all. He's clueless.

Alluding back to Six' and earlier posts, the fact is that we are what most people predicted us to be. We're a 4 to 5 loss program. We're not beating FUGA or Bama. Not because I don't think we can hang with them physically or talent-wise. While neither of them really scares anyone, they both have real talent on D and can scheme against a lesser coach. We coulda/shoulda beat both UF and LSU. Our D played way more than good enough to win those games. Offensively, we are.....someone re-insert picture of monkey fucking football here. _________________________!
So after another 4 to 5 loss season, and the PTB continue to look the other way because they painted themselves in a corner with that ridiculously undeserved contract, Gus will turn over the offense (Theoretically) to someone else for the 42nd time. And continue to interfere until we lose 5 more in 2020.
Such is the current state of Auburn football.

Ultimately, it just pisses me off that Joe Burrow is still laughing at us.

I tell you what I’m tired of. I am so tired of fair weather fans who right when there is a hint of trouble, jump ship. Or, bus, in this instance.
I normally bite my tongue around here. And I’m not one of those people who pumps sunshine. It is very obvious who the real Auburn men are. Let’s just leave it at that.
On second thought, let’s not. Two of the last few posts on here are far from displaying an Auburn man’s character.
I have no beef with either of the guys. Would not know them if they were to walk up and smack me in the face. But I just ask, if you are going to comment and act is if you care, be a true Auburn man. Don’t be a bammer.
It is ridiculous at this lack of character. Most Auburn men who know something about football agree that the issues on the offensive line and a true freshman qb are the biggest problems. Not Gus.
Why make the problems worse with the incessant grumbling about something you obviously know absolutely nothing about?

No. No more casualties with Malzahn.
My hope is that Nix would have sense enough not to sacrifice both himself and his son to this abortion.
Lombardi is spot on. Just a shame there aren't enough detractors from outside the Auburn family to wake up the right trustee to persuade the others to make it go away.

You know what a pompous ass you sound like? “We obviously know nothing about?†Hell, you might as well call us deplorables.
Explain to me how a 5-star freshman’s QB gets outplayed by a walk on with no D1offers? Explain how’s Gus is on his 7-8th year in the SEC and he was shocked by noises at an away stadium? When he says he’s installing new plays, it’s a play that everyone else has had in the playbook for years.
Go beat the creed on AUfamily.

Completely conceding that you are the end-all, be-all of football knowledge....
But...
Pat has far more access to insider Auburn info (though, I'll admit he probably never ate hot dogs in the press box), plus a more detailed/developed knowledge of offensive schemes and true evolution/application of same. I'm sure he got the chance to talk Xs and Os with Gus and evaluate the whole program before allowing his highly recruited son to commit.
They knew what they were getting into.

If we had just given Freeze that multi-year contract to be the OC...

I know you were being fascist...err....fasheeshus....umm facetime....I know you were kidding, but that actually does sound about right. After all, he's an Auburn man.

I’ve always thought he was promised the OC job if/when we go looking for a new coach.

Completely conceding that you are the end-all, be-all of football knowledge....
But...
Pat has far more access to insider Auburn info (though, I'll admit he probably never ate hot dogs in the press box), plus a more detailed/developed knowledge of offensive schemes and true evolution/application of same. I'm sure he got the chance to talk Xs and Os with Gus and evaluate the whole program before allowing his highly recruited son to commit.
They knew what they were getting into.
From 2002 - 2008, Papa Nix was the OC at Georgia Tech then Miami. (Not telling anyone anything they didn't know already) Just means he knows his shit.
IMO, I think even if Patrick had some concerns about Malzahn's offense, Bo was probably an Auburn lock anyway from the time he was pictured in the crowd at JHS as a wee lad.
-
I think Pat knew what his SON was getting into. Bo wanted to go to his favorite team, where his Dad played.
Don't think Pat was promised a damn thing because Dillingham was brought in. This can't be fixed piecemeal. Has to be lopped off at the head and the entire offense gutted.
That's not a job for Patrick Nix.

The fuck?
I'm not claiming to be anything at all. But watching that kid throw a pass to open ground with not a single soul within 20 yards is worse than I expected. We all, dad included I guess, figured he'd have his off days. But what we're seeing is past that. And I'm not blaming Nix. He looks unprepared.
I can't believe his dad expected his kid to be as shockingly inaccurate as he's been at times. You think Pat really expected Gus to hamstring the boy with these piss-poor offensive gameplans? I can't imagine he wanted his kid to look undisciplined, untrained, uncoached.
Gus is a bullshit artist. I'm sure he talked a good game. We're gonna get back to being who we were in 2013.... That was six years ago and receding fast.

Ohhh. Footsteps.

Everyone knows Pat's bona fides. I posited that they knew what they were getting into. Your comment (worse than you expected) implied that you had some superior perspective. Plus, you're always right, right?
As for the rest of your post, I don't think Pat relied on Gus's bullshittery. He has access to the entire program and has for a much longer period than Gus. He made an informed decision.
I'll also put this out as a counterpoint: Against teams not ranked in the top 10, Bo is looking pretty fucking great as a frosh, shitass playcalling aside. I think everyone was expecting too much of the kid: to waltz into Gville/BR and pirouette out with a couple of Ws.

Patrick Nix was a pretty good QB.
He had some great moments in big games for Auburn.
We as fans always expect too much out of young QBs and yes even moreso from a kid with a high pedigree like Bo.
However...this offensive line is horrible and when they do get a modicum of push we have enough backfield talent to make them appear better than they are but there is no consistency there.
The receivers are the most talented group Auburn has EVER had -EVER!
But they are poorly coached and the routes are terribly simple.
There is no denying how good our defense is.
So yes I still had high hopes that we could overcome our deficiencies and win at Gainesville with better overall play.
Again at Baton Rouge...MAYBE WE LEARNED SOMETHING, same high hopes.
Nope...too many deficiencies.
And I'll probably think we can beat UGA even with these same deficiencies.
Doesn't change things for me.Lombardi is still right, we have no offense.

Totals 110-204 1,458 54% 12/6 127.5 Passer Rating.
Hard to glean much from the numbers other than the obvious fact that he's struggled mightily against easily the two toughest opponents. Oregon is a pass for me simply because of it being the first game on that kind of stage. Two things for me:
Yes, I'm very concerned about his accuracy, or lack thereof under pressure. Again, I have no clue if his footwork and overall mechanics are good or bad. But when he is given the simple throws, they are consistently off target. Simple slants (When we call them) are often behind the WR, making for tough catches. The kid has been throwing a football all his life and there are some throws he just plain should nail, regardless of Gus Malzahn.
But the more important factor is of course, Gus Malzahn, and the overall offensive scheme. Just doesn't adjust anything to give his frosh QB the best opportunity to be successful.

I thought he said “not sureâ€. But I have 20-20 vision. What do I know.
I took his “worse than anticipated†comment as - even though we expected gus’ bumfuckery at times. And we even maybe expected improvement - no one saw us being this inept on O like we looked in the 2nd and 3rd quarters Sat. The two times backed up in the endzone were cringeworthy. Against an avg LSU D. We didn’t expect a win there and maybe Gville. But we also didn’t expect that much dysfunction either. And it’s plausible to think that neither did Pat. Especially having seen this kid look all world for 3 years.

Hit me with specific throws in specific games. I'm not saying he hasn't missed in the easier games, but let's line 'em out.
The kid has been throwing a football all his life and there are some throws he just plain should nail, regardless of Gus Malzahn...even against top 10 teams...in the first half of his first collegiate season??
But the more important factor is of course, Gus Malzahn, and the overall offensive scheme. Just doesn't adjust anything to give his frosh QB the best opportunity to be successful. THIS I AGREE WITH...BUT IT AIN'T BO'S FUCKING FAULT.

One thing to consider is to think in terms of what if...What if we still had Stidham or even better what if we had the great Joe Burrow with the same headstrong head coach, the same gameplanning, offensive line, backs, receiver group, simple routes, lack of adjustments whatever the fuck anyone should decide to throw in?
I should also mention the 60+ yard bolt by DJ Williams that skews the total rush numbers dramatically. (This sent a signal to Malzahn's noggin no doubt)
Whitlow was coming off of surgery and genius has a healthy Gatewood to run the wildcat and his decision is?
One decision that I liked
(turned out bad)
was the 50/50 throw to Williams against Stingley who was coming back from injury also.
Yeah I'm tired!

I'm deep into some Elijah Craig and my dispensary's finest. What the FUCK is your excuse for this attempt at communicating with other humans via the written English language?
-
Malzahns play calling/passing routes suck. But Bo has to hit simple pass patterns. He sucjs right now.

I'm actually agreeing with your assessment of Nix and the fact that he's really done well under extreme circumstances.
Where I disagree is with those who point to him missing "many" targets as if others might be able to overcome the same hardships.
As for the inclusion of Patrick I also agree he knew what Bo was getting into but that's where it ends for me.
FWIW I'm for trying anyone and everyone however Gus has stated that he hasn't considered a change. And with this I can only conclude that Malzahn has set his course and hung his future as Auburn's Head Coach on Nix.
-
Ok what's the alternative?
I believe it's time for the annual "I'm going to be the head coach and turn playcalling duties over to ___________-_-____- (eventual scapegoat) so I can concentrate on the team. These guys are going to get to know me. I'm going to lift weights and dance. We're going to get better" speech.

Well... After falling for that, I’ll go back into hibernation for the year.
You have no reason to hibernate. I’m definitely pompous when it comes to the aforementioned poster’s football “knowledgeâ€.
I’m not one to come into a place and stir the pot. Not my intent.
This guy and Cato obviously agree about Gus. I have no idea what CTEAU thinks. I get the feeling that he doesn’t know what day of the week it is.
But I can tell two things from snuggle’s posts.
- He knows very little about sports
- He tends to be more gay than straight. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, mind you)
-
I’ve always thought he was promised the OC job if/when we go looking for a new coach.
And I honestly think he would be great as the OC. Maybe Bob can get Steele to stay on too, or at least get his brother for DC.
