Is It Going To Keep Getting Worse?

[Snaggletiger]

The first half of the Arkansas game was a debacle to say the least.  But, it was something I could live with and almost expected to an extent after playing so well offensively for 5 games.  At least they came out in the 3rd and put on a dominating performance and gave us all hope that they just had a bad game.

UK was horrible in almost every aspect of the game.  QB play, defensively, punts, penalties...more penalties...bad coaching decisions...more penalties.  Plus..it was Kentucky.

Last night was the blood-letting many feared would happen.  More penalties, penalties, penalties that put them in a hole right off the bat.  Chris Toad digressing even more, if that's possible.  I cringe every time he drops back to pass. Now, I wonder if he'll even throw the ball at all or just take a pitiful sack and toss the ball aimlessly up in the air for the opponent to have their ESPN highlite moment.  He's bad.  Really bad.  You could go down the list from there starting with receivers, defensive backs, our thunderfoot punter, the decisions to pooch kick and give LSU field position at midfield or better and on and on and on...

I do give props to Ben Tate and Mario Fannin.  Those two came to play, something Tate has done each and every week.

But after watching Ole Miss yesterday, I can't see it getting better anytime soon.  McCluster will have 439 all purpose yards Saturday.  This team can't really be this bad, can they?  Well...can they?  What is needed to get them back on track?

A change at QB?

Fire your DC midseason? (It's been done)

Insert a bunch of true freshmen or backups at virtually every position to shake things up?

I have no answers and I damn sure don't want to watch this program lose 6 of their last 7 games.  And is Furman really that much of a sure thing now?  Really? Why?

I have said before and I will say it again. Roof was hired to be fired. He was brought in with the highest pay and the weakest resume of anyone of the coaching hires. So it was obvious from the get go that he was hired to play the role of sacrificial lamb.
Also I am not an expert on Arkansas and the goings on there but there was a reason that gus was fired when he was. I'm willing to be it had something to do with what is going on at Auburn presently. If we did not have a coach with a losing lifetime record as the coach in charge I believe that gus would be on the bus out of town even as you are reading this.
We do not have a coaching staff that can take these players and get the best from them. 6 of you have placed me on ignore for refusing to back down from what each and everyone of you (except for the moron triplets) on this forum felt was extremely likely from this staff.
Its time for you to begin the letter writing and phone calling again. Its time for JJ and gene-o-riffic and the whole heehaw gang to get in the limo and get the hell out of dodge before they poison the well for the next Auburn coaching staff.
We are Auburn, we don't settle for beating the stuffing out of cupcakes and losing to SEC level opponents in really embarrassing ways.
Its time we as a fan and family base stood up.

Gus wasn't fired at Arkansas. He drug up at the end of his first season and went to Tulsa.

[Greaseyweasel]

Keep believing that pigtitty keep believing that.

We did.  We did have coaches that could get the best from our players.  The first 5 games of the season were exactly what a great coaching staff would get out of 70 scholarship players.  Most of those 70 aren't that good by the way.  

It just suddenly stopped.  We haven't had injuries.  We've actually gotten a few guys back.  Suddenly, the team I saw went away.  What the fuck happened?

The only difference I see is that Todd's arm and decision making aren't the same.  Chalk that up to being timid or chalk it up to a secret injury, Chris Todd has reverted back into a Div-II caliber quarterback.

[Greaseyweasel]

What happened was our coaching staff was exposed. Hell if WVU would not have given up the 6 turnovers we would not be looking at making it all the way to Shreveport this year. Even a professional dumbass like prowling for cock could have coached us to our first 4 legitimate wins.
(Side note to prowling for cock I do wish you would put the homoerotic avatar back up on yourself now. It is sooooo much more correct for the way your main man chizik is fucking the men of Auburn over.)
But hey if Trooper will keep waving the towel...oh wait thats a white flag, but man our helmets are sure lined up nice and straight.
We've got a corching staff with their priorities in order.

[djsimp]

Todd is the reason. End of story. He may be an outstanding person off the field (I dont really know) but his QB play sucks ass right now. The team has lost confidence in him.

[Pell City Tiger]

Neil Caudle ... Come on down! 

[War Eagle!!!]

no, Todd is not the end of story. Auburn is playing shifty football all the way around. Malzhans play calling sucks. We get stupid stupid penalties. We can't tackle. We consistently only rush 4. By the way, we actually blitzes a couple of times last night...and it fucking worked. Todd is not the ONLY problem. He is far from it. We have big big issues and it starts at the top. I hope I am wrong, but I am in the full "fuck chizik" mode. He has no experience in turning a team back around. I have zero confidence in his ability now.

[boartitz]

Keep believing that pigtitty keep believing that.

I will because that is the facts. Can you show me anything anywhere saying he was fired? Gus was treated like shit from the get-go by Nutt and the MSM.

[boartitz]

I have a theory that I first entertained in a post here a few weeks back. Chizik has taken over the playcalling. At least somewhat. There has not been much HUNH in the last few games. 3rd quarter against us was really the last time I have seen it much. No huddle, yes. Hurry up, no. Yall are not operating at the same speed as yall were earlier in the season.
Gus was getting all the press early in the year, much like he did at first here. Nutt stopped that shit and we wound up losing out at the end of the season. History repeating itself?

id say no.

(2) Also I am not an expert on Arkansas and the goings on there but there was a reason that gus was fired when he was.

(1) If you don't remember Coach Roof's GT defenses, then you really don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but hey that's your opinion...

(2) You definitely could've started off your mindless drivel with this

(3) NO, maybe you don't remember your Coach's first season...ULM= Pearl Harbor?

(4) Yes, it is time that WE as an Auburn Family stood up and got behind our coaching staff, because whether we like it or not, most of them will be here for a couple more years.  Also, before the Auburn Family comes off looking like the inbrednation, I think we need to let this coaching staff do what they're paid to do and then have this discussion a year or two from now.

Do I think that there'll be some coaching changes at the end of this year?  It's possible.

Also, for the fans like greaseybammer, calling for the Head Coach and the ENTIRE Staff to be fired after their first season, or in greaseybammer's case, after their first 8 games......there won't be that many HCs lined up to coach for a program like that.

Just for shits and giggles...greaseybammer, who would/did you want Auburn to hire as the HC?

[djsimp]

no, Todd is not the end of story. Auburn is playing shifty football all the way around. Malzhans play calling sucks. We get stupid stupid penalties. We can't tackle. We consistently only rush 4. By the way, we actually blitzes a couple of times last night...and it phuking worked. Todd is not the ONLY problem. He is far from it. We have big big issues and it starts at the top. I hope I am wrong, but I am in the full "phuk chizik" mode. He has no experience in turning a team back around. I have zero confidence in his ability now.

Well, lets see what happens and lets say Caudle, or whomever, comes in and starts winning ballgames. Will this fix all the missed tackles.....no. Will this fix the stupid penalties.......probably not all of them. I will say this though, as a player loses confindence in himself so does the rest of the team. If the QB is playing well and keeping the D on the sidelines resting, this keeps a lot less of a chance for stupid penalties and makes the D feel like they are playing for something. Other than that they are just stopping the opposing team just to go right back out there.

If the team has lost confidence in the QB, thats trouble, big time trouble. Todd looks like shit, period.

So....will you be posting after Auburn beats Furman?  Or, if Auburn is somehow able to upset Ole Miss or UGA?

[Greaseyweasel]

So you are getting excited about Auburn beating Furman.
Is this the best that Auburn can do under this present regime of terror. And just for the record I called for his firing before he ever sat his sorry ass down in the head coaches chair. And I believe that with coaching changes Auburn has the man power on both sides of the ball to take down both Ole Miss and Georgia.
But the players have quit this abysmal coaching staff. They have even started calling them out publically and getting kicked off for it.
chizik sucks and the sooner he is gone the better it is going to be for Auburn.
Call me a bammer all you want, all you are doing is exposing just how little you actually care for Auburn.
Put the gayassed avatar back up you dumb fucker.

You are truely a piece of shit.  It seems like you are actually happy that Auburn has lost the last three games, just so you can come here and whereever else to say that it is ALL on the coaching staff....Let's see if you can understand this, fuckin' cocksucker:

1. We are extremely thin, depth wise, just about all across the board.  I'm talking about quality depth, SEC quality depth, not just numbers wise depth.  (This will be corrected with good to great recruiting)

2. Being that we have just about ZERO depth, we have linebackers that are playing every snap of every game, unless they're injured.  Here's something that Josh Bynes said after the LSU game, we knew exactly what they were doing, we just couldn't make the plays and they did.  Two words here....(BYE WEEK).  Remember what the commentators where saying this past Saturday, after the second series?  "LSU looks really fresh."  And Auburn looked really tired.  Whoever made this schedule with 11 straight games without a Bye, needs to be Donkey Punched by Eric Smith.  Another thing, Eltoro had an off week, two weeks ago...and who was the one flying around last night? (Again, this will be corrected with good to great recruiting)

3. QB play is VERY, VERY important in a Gus Malzahn coached offense....case in point, Chris Todd the past two weeks.

(A) Spoken like a true bammer, take a negative rumor against Auburn and then post it or say it like it's the truth so that you can fit whatever agenda you have.
