I actually agree. The thing is that Gus used to tailor his offense around his players' strengths. It's like the ease with which Cam and Marshall ran his system either changed his philosophy or made him lazy. Either way, he has lost much of the creativity that once made him a great offensive mind.
Still, I think firing him would be a mistake. I'm aware of his recent conference record and it is obviously a huge concern. 2014 was more of a defensive issue as we gave up 36ppg in our last 5 SEC games. While it's ultimately his fault that we're in this situation and even considering his flaws, I know that his offense is lethal when he has the QB he wants.
I just don't think Auburn is that far away, and if we had that QB then I really believe that we'd be a very dangerous team. You aren't going to find another Cam, but there are players like Nick Marshall out there who can run his offense effectively. I'm clearly in the minority but that's my opinion.

I agree with this which makes his recruitment of White so strange

This is a bit misleading. Check the stats on Gus' non-DT QB's (The 2 at arkie, Todd, KF, Clint, Trotter, JJ and SW) against SEC level competition. It isn't pretty. Gus' biggest failure is admitting his systems needs a DT to be successful at a high level.
