The density of your skull amazes me.  

There is a VAST difference between hope and expectation.  I hope I shoot 64 the next time I play golf.  Based on my previous play and given the course conditions I anticipate, I expect to shoot somewhere between 80 and 105.  Big range, yes I know, but my game can be wildly inconsistent.

I hope Auburn never loses another football game for the next 25 years.  Based on his past experiences and on the conditions (both internal and external) he faces, I expect Chizik to struggle in his role.  I do not see him as the long-term answer for Auburn.  

This is the genesis of a column I am writing anyway.  Between good-to-great coaches at any institution there is always a "tweener."  A guy who does some things well, but doesn't have the total package.  Alabama had Bryant and then there were a couple of tweeners before Stallings.  Then a couple of tweeners before Saban.  Florida went Spurrier - Zook (tweener) - Meyer.  Ole Miss went Cutcliffe - Orgeron (tweener) - Nutt.

Numerous other examples.  

Gene Chizik is our tweener.  

If I'm wrong, you know what? I'm just wrong. It's happened before. I thought Ryan Leaf had all the tools to be a great NFL QB and would have taken him over Peyton. I was wrong. His head was cheese. Maybe I'm wrong here. I doubt it, though.  But if I am, what's the worst case scenario?  Auburn is better than I expect and I have to take some shit from a few people?  Big deal. I'd rather take shit from you than watch Auburn suffer.

I fully expect Auburn to win a few games this season.  if we avoid injuries we should make a bowl game. If we don't it's a travesty. But one season, unless it's a total debacle or a glorious miracle, won't tell the tale on Chizik.  



Wait.  Hold up.  Stop the MOTHERFUCKING PRESSES.

Did you just insert Houston Dale Nutt into your template of good-tweener-great coaches as the "great" coach?

Shit son, you have just lost your goddamned mind.

Tuscaloosa son, you have just lost your goddamned mind.

In Ole Miss terms, yes, yes I did. 

In relative terms, Houston Dale Nutt is a good-to-great coach for the Rebels.  Look at their fucking history.  They haven't had shit since  Nathan Bedford Forrest was calling the defenses.

I guess I can see it relatively.  They have Vaught...and....uh...maybe Cutcliffe. 

Nutt is, however, in any rational discussion of football coaching, middle of the road on his best fucking day.

Context. 

If Ole Miss wins seven games, they've had a great season.  They'll raise a fucking banner and fabricate another national championship.

If Auburn wins seven games somebody's getting shot.  Less than that?  Start digging mass graves.
