I guess I don't consider people not want to keep a head coach making 4 million a year, who gives you no shot at beating the top teams as going full retard.


And now we're back to losing by 8 to a top 5 defending national champion.

I'm not happy with Gus but I'm also not sure a constant coaching carousel is the right answer to fixing it

I just doubt Clemson is that good to be honest. We were more than capable of beating that team with a moderate offense. The same shite we saw last Saturday was almost the same we saw again GSU(except that was a shitty shitty team). 11 sacks allowed is pretty much unacceptable to me.

We were never a threat in that game.

I agree, which is why it'd be ideal if Gus would suddenly lose the stubborn narcissism overnight. But he very likely won't, and it will continue to be a drag on this program.

If we go 8-4 this year or worse, that is 4 years of total mediocrity in a row. For a solid stretch, it seemed Auburn was a very dangerous team in big games. We're going on 4 seasons now without a win in a truly major game (despite playing 2-3 a year).

Now if we lose 3 games but win in Baton Rouge and beat Alabama or Georgia and play our remaining rivals close, I'm of the mind that we don't don't make a change. I don't mind growing pains, even if that includes losing to shittier teams, if nobody wants to play us by the end of the year.

But more likely, we'll get solidly beaten by 2/3, and eek out a win against whichever one turns out to be an 8-4 type of team. We'll stumble into a bowl game lacking clarity about what this team is about. And Gus will be retained.
