Too long now we've been divided among those of us who looked at the glass half full and those of us who have looked at it as a broken glass stepped on by years of a combination of arrogance and incompetence.

Are Auburn fans all finally 100% committed to change for the betterment of the program?

Regardless if that glass is half full or empty, i think we’ve all figured out that it’s filled with piss

Gus needs to just step aside. His career isn't done as I am sure a decent program will hire him. He has just become stale at AU sorta like Richt became stale at UGA (and now look at him). Something about AU and the SEC West has gotten into Gus's head. He needs a change.

Out of all the coaches I've seen listed, I think I like Scott Frost the best. He has a great resume for a guy 42. Played under Osborne, coached by Bill Walsh, spent numerous productive seasons playing in the NFL, coached WR's and was the OC at Oregon (Broyles finalist) and is now HC at UCF.

I love Kevin Steele as a DC and a person, I am just not sure he would make a great HC. However, I do think he should be shown respect and given the interim HC position right now.

I get why it was so hard for people to turn against Gus

His offensive ideas revived this program in 2013 and some great finishes turned what should have probably been another 8-5 level team into an SEC champion. I will always be grateful for those memories.

But it's time. He's clearly been figured out. His second half adjustments are LAUGHABLE.

Gus has actually made me want to lose next weekend to Beliema on the slim chance Auburn might just leave his a$$ in Arkansas.

That is what Gus has done to me at this point. I just can't watch him anymore let this team of extremely talented players give games away due to his own stupidity. I'm done.

Let me know when we have a new coach.

I was laughed at when I said I was done with Gus Malzahn in 2015.

Auburn needs to be the first to fire. We need to jump start the head coaching search and not wait around while other places are hiring people.

YES INDEED!

Like I’ve said before, he normally calls GREAT first half plays. If there was a Natty for first half victories, we would have several.

Second half, almost ALWAYS clueless.

I just hope Gus Malzahn knows every time we run the wildcat in the red zone a kitten dies.

Don't kill anymore kittens, Gus.

Bro, I was right there with you in 2015.

I remember vividly after blowing our entire season against a garbage TAMU in 2014 and following that up (with the SEC West still in play) with a blowout loss to a Georgia. After that I said "that is not the signs of what happens to a well coached team". I was worried.

The second half collapse against Alabama and Wisconsin pissed me off because Nick Marshall deserved better. And Malzahn didn't own up to shite after 2014's awful ending.

Then 2015 Jacksonville State happened. And if you want honesty, that's when I took a step off the bus. Unfortunately last year I started to get won over after beating Arkansas 56-3.

But last year's Georgia game was the point of no return for me. This year just is not surprising. I knew Stidham wouldn't be the solution, because I don't think there is a solution unless you cloned Cam Newton because he could ride a high school offense to the national championship, even if everyone knows what the plays are before we run them.

When it is working, I love it. I love the run first power spread. It used to be exciting, but now... now it is just a painful reminder of what could have been.

Last years Clemson game broke me. The exists no universe in which that flaming pile of dogshit of a gameplan works in real football. The fact that Gus thought it would is something I couldnt forgive and the reason that, even after recent wins, Ive stayed very guarded.

For days like yesterday.

I am always slow to call for a coaches job. Was one of the last ones to give up on Chiz. I have known Gus was a dead man walking since Mercer. He doesn't have the type of O to dominate and the D is great but not elite. I assumed he'd lose to A&M, uga and bama. Credit to LSU for fighting yesterday, I knew the game would be close, but didn't expect to lose.

Thanks for 2010 and 2013 Gus.
