18-21, overall (46%)

10-5, home (67%)

8-16, road/neutral (33%)

Gus is below .500 in big games overall and absolutely terrible away from Jordan-Hare.

Why do we keep him around?

Those aren’t horrible percentages. We are talking about ranked opponents here.

I did not get to watch the game.

Was it a case of poor planning?

Was it aces of poor execution?

Was it a case of being less talented?

What are other Auburn coaches’ historic averages?

We lost to a good team on their home field. It blows my mind how many Auburn fans need to just go ahead and jump right now.

I have been to the swamp.I have never been in a louder stadium.........that includes Jordan-Hare. It's a tough place to play and they heard all week how Auburn would beat them. Maybe our guys have been reading their press clippings?

It really isn’t. That’s like me asking how are we expecting to pay the power bill this month and you saying “yolo.”

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I just believe it is time for a change...

We should aim for a coach with a long successful record at a non-football powerhouse (Dantonio, Gary Patterson, Leach, etc). See what they can do with the money, resources, recruiting footprint that Auburn has.

Those really aren’t good options.

Leach,


holy shite. You realize that is the exact same O Tony Franklin ran, right? They are 3-2 and lost 67-63 after being up 49-17.

If true, that sounds like a coaching problem.

Mark Dantonio is 10-9 vs top 10 teams at freaking Michigan State. Tell me that he wouldn't kill it at Auburn.

Everything is a coaching problem apparently.

It is obvious some of you must have never competed in sports. Coaches don't go out and execute/not execute.......players do. Re-watch the game and see how many opportunities our guys let slip away today. Gus didn't go from calling a tremendous game against State to forgetting everything in a week. I can promise you that.

Can’t put today on Gus. A good QB beats Florida pretty easy today.

Comparing what Leach does at Wassu or Tech isn't really fair. Those programs don't compare to Auburn.

Gus got held to 13 points and lost to a 7-6 Western Kentucky team in 2012 at Ark St. Wtf does that have to do with his Auburn tenure?

You can't seriously believe any of those coaches are upgrades over Gus.
