Why can't Auburn field a decent defense? Ted Roof, BVG, Ellis Johnson, and now Muschamp all have failed to turn it around. 500 yards to Kentucky is pathetic with an extra week to prepare. Auburn's defensive talent looks awful, but yet the recruiting rankings say they should be among the most talented teams in the country. I doubt all 4 of these coaches were incompetent. They've all had success other places.

What is it really going to take for Auburn to return to the salty defensive play they had under Tubbs?

For fricks sake...it's because of their offense. How many times does it have to be said.

Tubbs was smash mouth

The offense, plain and simple. Auburn is incapable of fielding a good defense because the offense doesn't allow it. Score quick? Defense is always on the field. Everything goes wrong and opponent wins TOP? Players are tired. Auburn needs to can Malzahn and get a McElwain type coach that doesn't try to play cutesy every freaking play.

We can't keep the highly-ranked guys healthy/on the team.

They have a glorified OC as head coach that doesn't know or understand how to coach defense. Last year after the Iron Bowl Gustav was blaming the offense for the loss when they scored 44 points. He didn't even mention the defense in the post game presser. It was the offense did t score TDs in the redbone. He doesn't know anything about defense to the point that he can't even talk about like a SEC head coach so he just sticks to offense.
