Gus sucks actually. I personally hope he hoovers Auburn to 12-1 and 13-0 seasons regularly.

Frost was asked to be a part of the National Championship Equestrian team at Auburn after that play.

Tell me another coach that could have done that at AU this year.



Let's not ignore that Gus was at Auburn 2 seasons ago. He had the players he needed to run his offense at Auburn. He had a talented bunch that was pretty familiar with him since he'd spent 3 years there a short while ago.

Gus is not responsible for those 2 extra wins. Just because his players executed better on the "Prayer in Jordan Hare" and the 109 field goal return doesn't mean that he's responsible for their execution. A coach isn't always responsible for his players' mistakes on the field. Georgia's safeties did not play 4th and long right and Alabama's linemen did not execute proper field goal return coverage. Gus was not responsible for either of those execution errors.

People are forgetting Auburn was 3 plays away from 8-4. Someone needs to find out who Gus sold his soul to, to have this MIRACULOUS LUCK.
I never get tired of seeing asinine excuses as to why Auburn is on top. We heard it in 2010, we are hearing it now...I bet it was said on here in 2004 as well.

Pathetic, really.

You seemed threatened by Gus. Relax man, you have nothing to do with the success or lack of success for Bama or Auburn.

Absolutely not. My sources tell me that he will be the next head omelette maker for the biggest Waffle House in El Paso.

Upvote it's ridiculous how much credit he's getting when the chin had top 5 recruiting classes. Also Florida had a similar season last year only their D was their strength.

Go back and look at all the players that are not even at Auburn, that were in those recruiting classes.

Oh, so you think Auburn 2014 will be like Florida 2013?

Excuse me while I laugh.

Probably 25-30% of those classes were either busts or lost to attrition.

People don't pay attention to that, they just like to spout off crap and act like they have paid attention to the inner workings of Auburn football for the last few years and have an informed opinion.

I wish I would have bookmarked all the threads that said Gus was over his head in the SEC. Auburn would win 4-6 games. Auburn has no talent, and will need to recruit well to recover...

It was one thread after another like that, and now it's Gus is getting too much credit. Auburn was stacked with talent...

It's fricking comical
