state of Auburn athletics

Exiting this conversation now.

Football: under achieved. Lost bowl game
Basketball: finished under .500 with 4 SEC wins in season play
Gymnastics: 100 something losing streak to Alabama
Baseball: under .500 in SEC play
Swimming and equestrian: not nearly as good as they used to be
Softball: good but still lost to Bama
Women's Bball: just plain awful

football: I think this year will be a good indicator of how things will go during the Gus era. He's had one outstanding year and one pretty disappointing year.

basketball: recruiting is good and we had a nice SECT run. Lots of momentum.

gymnastics: I don't know shite about it. We had a good year though.

baseball: If I remember correctly, we were around the same record wise this time last year (before UGA series) and the wheels fell off. Schedule is easier this year, so hopefully we can make a regional. I still don't have a good feeling about Golloway or the way we handle our pitching staff

swimming: The program is actually in pretty shitty shape.

softball: God most be an AU softball fan for Myers to fall in our lap like he did.

women`s basketball: PITIFUL

The way it's looking right now, the next change needs to be made with the swimming and diving program. It's clear Brett Hawke doesn't know how to keep the program anywhere near the level David Marsh brought us to.

The dream scenario would be for Marsh to return, but I believe he really likes it in Charlotte. A few other of Marsh's assistants have turned into great HC's...perhaps we go hire Durden from Cal.

With Auburn multiple NC's in swimming and diving, we're equivalent to UCLA in basketball. David Marsh is seriously one of the best swim coaches in the world! Our men's program is no longer winning the SEC and finished 9th at the recent NCAA's...a change needs to happen. Brett Hawke is a nice guy, but he can't quite get it done both in recruiting and in the water.

I'm passionate about our swimming and diving program.
