0-12 at LSU, Georgia and Bama


But it's all laughs and smiles when you're hitting hail mary's and kick 6's. No worries at all. Just typical Auburn luck that the program and fanbase has come to expect. Funny what happens when that luck runs out

Getting blown out multiple times. At some point top 5 money should compete for four quarters. Several of Gus’s losses were 3 score or more blowouts.



ROFLMAO. You are Auburn. Stop thinking you're Bama.

quote:

Being able to man up at the line of scrimmage. We are getting our poop pushed in upfront on both sides of the ball. Recruiting matters upfront more than anywhere else. Player development matters upfront more than anywhere else. It has not happened under Gus. Who got better?



Again, this was ignored when Auburn was getting lucky wins. It was all good. frickin dumbasses didn't take the time to realize that was never going to continue. Hence, those massive asskickings you mentioned above.

C Nite,

I’m not sure what I typed that upset you.

Bama is king.

Gus got about top 25 or 30 results for top 5 pay.

I agree Gus has some great moments, but I stand by my prior post.

We paid caviar prices for shad roe.

I agree there is an element of “luck” in football, but for “luck” to be a factor a coach has to find a way for his team to keep in the game for 4 quarters.

At the end of the day, Gus did not keep us in some of the big games for four quarters. The other teams certainly deserve credit, but a “top 5” paid coach must earn that money by having his team prepared each week and recruiting at a high level each year.

Gus failed. He was maybe a Solid B coach getting Valedictorian money.
