Sure. With NIL and the transfer portal, that is definitely how this works.

Deuce will not be a freshman starter even if he comes. Everyone says he's a project. We need a legit p4 qb with experience. The missed field goals and Paytons interception killed us. I'm at a loss. I thought they have turned it around and then the 4th quarter started and Thorne all of a sudden looked terrified. He made some great plays but again made mistakes that costs them the game.

I think the long term solution isn’t on the roster and Hugh is working on that.



Four win season won't help. Deuce appears to be our best case scenario this year and he's a long term project like White. Portal? Big gamble and will Freeze suck it up and spend the money for the best he can get? He didn't last year and the writing was clearly on the wall with Thorne. He chose to ride that bad train and now we're paying for it.

I think Freeze has bad judgement and is in over his head. He's got two years. But he's about to turn in the worst results for an Auburn football coach since Barfield.

Every other Auburn coach sans Harsin in my lifetime had a good to excellent QB on the roster by year 2 without the benefit of the transfer portal and NIL.

The amount of reads Thorne fricked up on those last two drives that led to the pic is unbelievable. In that interception, if he looked left he had Am wide open in the flat. Again. Just like he missed in the previous drive where he almost threw the pic. His pre-determined bullshite is absurd for a guy that has played as much football as he has.

Three first half picks against a bad Arky defense. Yeah. He’d be worse.

Exactly. Next year's QB isn't on the team yet, unless Walker White makes major improvements before next season while he is running scout team. Pretty doubtful. And the next QB isn't a current HS target. The next starting qb for AU is gonna HAVE to come out of the portal. Preferably one with P4, big time cfb experience.

Not to mention he is a statue and can't make all the throws due to limited arm strength.

Who gives a frick about recruiting when you can’t coach them??? These little shits get paid millions now to dip out year after year to a new program.
A good coach will get good recruits.
Hooker Hugh is a bottom tier ‘coach’ who can sell false hope to the recruits.
And his recruits will eventually be at other schools with better coaches.
Hooker Hugh is a poison that the AU boosters absolutely deserve

Thorne did what he is capable of and I applaud the young man.

You mad, get mad at Freeze for:

1) Having no coaching talent to coach up what he had

2) Not going out and getting better if what we have is not good enough.


Quit fricking blaming these AU players when the root cause is a scumbag hypocrite coach

I think he knows we’d have problems no matter who’s under center. Thorne isn’t good but there’s something to be said about what he has around him. And it isn’t good.

Middle aged. How old are you?


Dye - Campbell (good wishbone QB)
Bowden - Nix (good)
Tuberville - Leard (good)
Chizik - Cam
Gus - Marshall (great)

You want to go back to 1976 to refute my point by appealing to Barfield?

No. Hugh Freeze is a fricking loser. Stick with the run more in the 2nd half and we win. When you have an ok QB, play to his strengths, don’t try to make him Superman every down. What I’ve learned about my fellow AU brethren: You have no idea what a good QB looks like, and you don’t know shite about football.


I hate to say it, but this is where I think we are. Dude is not coaching to win or to the team’s strengths:weaknesses.

How do I know what? We've seen Hank. He's not it. We've seen Holden, he ain't it. The only other one currently on the roster is Walker White and he is running scout team offense for the starting defense.

I can blame anyone I like. Especially when they're the ones on the field sitting the bed.

You quit blaming everything on Freeze because you don't like the man.

How do you know how good he is and what work Walker White needs?

He's running scout because he's redshirted
