FIRE EVERYONE!!! FUCK Y'ALL, SEE YA NEXT SUNDAY...

[Jumbo]

The only game I'm going to the rest of the Season is UGA. My 6th Wedding Anniversay is October 28th so making the A&M game is impossible.

Upon referring to the future, VanGorder made it clear this wasn't necessarily a "wait 'til next year" concession.

"I don't think that we can use the word patience in our room. I don't think the Auburn people would agree with patience. That's not our business," VanGorder said. "We're trying to speed the process up, and that requires a sense of urgency from all of us."

Halfway through this wayward season, Auburn opponents are averaging 416.7 yards per game. If sustained, the Tigers would reset last year's worst single-season defense (408.0 yards) in school history.

"You get what you earn in this business," VanGorder said. "We've got to get better, we've got to coach better, players have got to play better. We keep saying that. And we're at the ground level trying to build our house and it's going to take a lot of work, as I've been saying."

So Am I supposed to have patience or not, I am so confused.

So Am I supposed to have patience or not, I am so confused.

I want to know why we're at "ground level" four years into the Chizik years behind some of the allegedly best recruiting in AU history. 

Two simple questions to this abomination:

1) How did it get fucked in the first place.
2) Does anyone believe Chiz has the wherewithal to unfuck it.

My personal opinion is the NC changed him.  It made him incapable or unwilling to consider that he might be wrong or that his "blueprint" is a failure.  Frankly his "blueprint" was a disaster of epic proportions at Iowa State.  He took a team on reasonably solid (for that program) ground and razed it to the ground. 

I'm mystified as to how he avoided making the same shit sandwich at AU but have come to wonder if luck doesn't play a significant role, particularly over the last three seasons. 

Even in the beauty that was 2010, even with the best single individual performance in CFB history and a Heisman winner,  there was the doinked FG by Clemson, the 27-point hole at Bama *that could easily have been 42* the craziness at Kentucky and giving up more points than any AU team in history. 

Last year was smoke and mirrors.  Utah State, MSU and South Carolina were all games that could easily have gone the other way.  Would 5-8 last year have been acceptable? 

Like most I'm apathetic now.  Will be glad when Jay Jacobs is gone.

I don't need to engage in "what might have been if..." games to justify firing him over what we have now.  There's simply no excuse to be as bad as we are.   I don't know for sure why it is the way it is, just know what I hear.  It is the way it is.  And from what I hear is going on, it's not going to change.

I think the timing of Tub's last senior class and the ripeness of Malzahn's offense with the ideal trigger man was the perfect storm. There might be a guideline for success on this level but one also must be flexible enough to deal with variables especially when ditching an offense or defense whether it was thriving or not. In my way of thinking, he might believe he has a blueprint that he thinks is for the ages, but the one size fits all rigidity has led us to where we are today. With that mentality Chizik then makes a statement about the teams problems and how he intends to fix it doing anything  but. The problem is then compounded by another one because he then sticks to nothing. It might be a combination of poor decisions, key personnel leaving and second guessing but I have no confidence in him as a HC or his ability to turn things around as of yesterday.. It sadens me but that's where I am.

Could sell 'em to some aggie, them guys will  buy anything

I don't think they will travel that well to this game-Remember when Auburn was good? Would you travel to see them play a 1-6 team?

WE!!! I won't be able to make a game this year, we'll have to sanction it some other time (even though there would be more intensity in the 5-10 minute scuffle than the Auburn team would showcase for 60 minutes).
