re: It's painfully obvious that AU football is trending toward the bottom of the SEC

I mean the talent is here, it's evident AU can recruit among the best, so at worst, AU starts over with a new staff after next year. It's nothing to lose your shite over. AU football recovers quickly regardless, no reason for all hope to be lost.

What else is laughable, most of the hires that have left were the fan favorites, hot commodities so to speak. It was common sense that they would be courted by other schools. Almost all of them except DC left for promotions, and DC left for more upward mobility. So what does everyone do? Assume the program is crumbling to the ground, automatically predicting the worst case scenario and that Malzahn ran everyone off. Then, for replacements, Malzahn hires guys that will probably offer more stability and will stick around to build a program around, then everyone complains about that. It's such a little bro mindset. I've concluded what Bama fans say about most AU fans is true.

At least I'm honest about our situation... No sunshine pumping

Who said they didn't care about football?

Also, you have a very low threshold for what you consider an attack, but than you are always thinking you're being attacked. Someone pointed out he makes similar threads over and over, and they are becoming boring. That's a fac not an attack.

I'm betting you are feeling attacked now.

but still confused as to how he got his fat contract.

Because he was taking a risk to coach defense for a school that has had 10 DCs in 10 years

It's not that tough to figure out

Your simpleton herp derp attacks are beneath me so I guess that destroys your whole argument about my low threshold. Dumbass

for the record, I should have and meant to write "attack the OP's argument", not the OP. I thought OP stood for original post.

That's the point jones was making. The op wasn't an original post at all.

I'm not going to lie, I don't know who Luke is and I don't recall his recent posts, so just don't focus on the last part. I was talking about the posts like KK's( not Jonses) where you can see where he is clearly scoffing at the idea that our program is trending down. We are 2-9 in the SEC since Ole Miss 2014. Cannot get much more down than that. Maybe the hires bring us up but it hasn't yet.

Gotcha, but in my opinion I don't see that as an attack. Just a poster who doesn't agree with the OP.

That's just my opinion is all. Anyway I myself feel it definitely is a few steps backward from where we all expected to go. All the talent on board I expect more wins. Gus has his guys and I am ready to watch the upcoming season unfold.

Nobody wants to touch Auburn's DC position right now. The kind of guys that are willing to coach here want a big contract for taking a risk

If you keep looking for the "established" DC candidates you're right.

I view it like the NFL head coaching hiring process. All these teams keep hiring "failed" or "average" coaches because of their past experiences? At what point do you say, "screw it I'm going to roll the dice on talent rather than a known avg quantity"
