Why does everyone here seem to hate the idea of gus as our coach?

And spare me the high school bs. His high school offense beat us by 53. He's already coached in a national title and a sugar bowl if we're being honest hes probably going back to another new years 6 bowl this year. Obviously were not auburn and don't have the talent to work with but I'm pretty sure if gus is our head coach we do much worse but the people on this board act like if he was the coach we would drop to 2 and 3 win seasons.

I have never understood it, either.

I think it grew out of the high school bs you're referring to.

I've never understood it either but I imagine it is like wmr said above. Personally, I would have taken him in 2013 and I'd be open to considering him now if we were looking.

That ship has sailed though and he'll never coach here again.

He's gone 8-4 (lost bowl game 8-5); 6-6 (won bowl game 7-6); 8-4 (lost bowl game 8-5) the last three years. Only bowl victory was the Birmingham bowl.

He's 18-14 in the SEC at Auburn after replacing Chizik. His last three years he is 11-13 in SEC games.

Bielema is 10-14 in SEC games the last three years.

He is in a more fertile recruiting area with talent all around and can't get any consistency or development at QB.

He is an awful QB developer. Definitely no way around that one. His career at Auburn might look completely different, if not for the JUCO world.

I don't want any man coaching my beloved Hogs who thinks it's a good idea to throw on a turtle neck and sweater vest on game day.

Gus is representative of an attempt to take over the University by Armani Ronnie.


Gus as coach will NEVER happen for that reason. It has little to do with sports and a lot to do with local politics and an attempt by Shiloh Christian to try and dictate to the University and the area.

I originally thought people disliked Gus because of their weird hatred of anything from NWA. However, when you delve more into the Springdale 5 and Mustain/Nutt debacle you realize that there is much more to that hatred.

Gus is Houston Nutt with a better offense. He is a slimy human being. He used high school players to get a job at Arkansas. The worst part is that Gus plays the whole innocent "aww shucks" country boy role. At least with Petrino you had an upfront a-hole.

There are a shite ton of better coaches than Gus out there for us to get when Bielema is gone.

I just hope that Bielema leaves without drama. It'd be nice to not have a golden handcuff or motorcycle moment. I also think we need to go get a young up and comer.

There is a lot of hate for Shiloh and Cross Church in general in NWA. I don't know much about them, and don't care.

If he wasn't from Arkansas, he wouldn't be in the conversations surrounding a coaching change.

Same as Tubberville the last two times and I'm sure there will be Gus and others in the conversations next time who would not be based on records alone if it were not for their connections to the university and/or state...

If I could write what I actually think about FM and Christy, and the whole R. Floyd thing.. Well, it just wouldn't be nice, or Christlike at all.

Let me suffice by saying, I would rather eat the puke from a buzzard for a buffet than have GM as our head coach. and I am being absolutely serious...

So you think he's a terrible person
It has nothing to do with his coaching ability. Got it. Because there's no doubt dude can coach. He's proven that.

He's our man. So he's the standard for if he should be considered in case bert gets fired. In other words he would be an upgrade
