*-If during the first year you see signs of improvement from the previous one. (2008 to 2009)
*-If during the second year you more signs of improvement from the previous one, improvement beyond your dreams but you notice some deficiencies (2009 to 2010)
*-If during the third year you see the deficiencies becoming a major problem, so you ask for a major change (2010 to 2011)
*-Now that everything that you wanted to be changed for the better has been changed, you still see those deficiencies (2011 to 2012)
The best thing to do now is to quit and not have any patience or faith that things will get better after all of the positive changes have been made.
I'll say this one last fucking time, I hope you and the rest of the fucking retards here will read it.
Not one player has given up yet, I'll let you know when they do (see Knile Davis at Arkansas).
I've never ever thought that Auburn is an elite team (Elite teams don't go 8-4/9-3). If I ever think Auburn is an Elite team, I'll say so.
It shouldn't take half a brain to figure out that, yes uat and LSU have changed personnel at different positions on both Offense and Defense...the system on both sides of the ball, at both Universities have mostly stayed the same.
I can keep explaining it to you and everyone else, but I can't help you understand. Patience is a virtue.
Doesn't look to me like they've mentally quit either. I've laid out what I've been told the problems are. Some choose not to believe them. Others, like me, say "yeah, makes perfect sense when you look at the product on the field".
Here's the bottom line. To steal a phrase from Justice Potter Stewart, and tweak it to fit the situation: "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of suckage I understand to be occurring on the field in Auburn; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it,..."
There's more to it than a young QB. There's more to it than changing systems and the learning curve that comes with that. And I, for one, am in the crowd that sees ALL these things. We had to take ULM to OT to beat them. Gave up 28 pts to them. The 2008 team would have beat them 3-0.
Got news for you, opposing teams see it too. ULM played their back up QB in the first half, just because. Browning wasn't hurt, and he's a star in their league. Played the back up just cuz. Message sent to Chiz. "We are going to get our back up some PT vs an SEC opponent, and we think we can still win." Didn't go for 2 on the last TD. Message to Chiz: "We can stop you, and you can't stop us, we are not the weak sister on the field today." A coach that felt he had a lesser team would have gone for 2, and been satisfied losing if it failed because he dared greatly.
Meanwhile, Auburn has to resort to trick plays and Hail Mary's to score and win. Minus those 1st half lucky plays, we lose by 14, at home, to ULM. A half assed Auburn squad would have run base everything, and won 35-3.
The average fan can see there's no "about to turn the corner" here. The average fan that squawks about other coaches that "can't coach" can see Dooley, and Coach Boom have made some strides since last season. May not be great teams, but they know how to play hard and fast.
We are last or next to last in the SEC in nearly every statistical category. This team is 2008 version .02 with not an injured QB, but one that can't play the game, and no defense.
Seriously, how bad does it have to be before you see it?
