I like 10+ win seasons and winning bowl games as much as the next person...

...but in the end this was a successful season because we beat the goons from Tuscaloosa.

Sorry, Gus needed to win that bowl game. It was a huge fail that he didn’t.

10-3 would have given me some justification for giving some support to Gus.

What a huge letdown that was. We played horrible in almost all facets of the game.

It’s debatable to call the season a successful season. From the the starting point of last offseason you could argue that it was successful. Gus didn’t lose his job nor the recruiting classes despite the chaos and rumors, and the magic number of 9 was met at the end of the next season. Also from the perspective of those struggling to field a good team, you could argue it was successful. I’m sure Miami or FSU or A&M would’ve taken it in a heartbeat.

However it wasn’t successful if you don’t like that Gus saved his job by doing what was needed, but not a millimeter more. The same things that dogged us last year still dog us today. Maybe if we said “9 wins is not the bar since you are the reason we are starting a TF QB” things would be less complicated in hindsight.

This is the kind of thinking that will always make us out to be little brothers.

to be completely fair, that win did indeed keep Alabama out of the playoffs again.

But it wasn't Gus that beat Alabama, it was JHS.

This attitude is what's wrong with Auburn and why the administration gave a MORON a huge contract for finally beating UGA and Bama in the same season. There is a lot bigger prize to be won than the IB. WildWillie=Jay Jacobs

You need to work a little more on what you want to say in your 272'd post.

This one is not what MOST Auburn people expect now.
