re: Calm. Thefrick. Down. You goddamned pansies.

The weird thing is...we were well on our way to getting to a better than avg finish for this team.

I had Harsin going 7-5 this year, but with an 18 point lead at home against Miss St, I felt we were going to exceed that.

The 2nd half showed 2 problems.

1. Our offense continues to fall back in the 2nd half and struggle. Seems like other teams adjust at half, and we don't overcome them well. This is the 3rd game in a row our offense has now only scored 9 points w/ 2 of those games at home.

2. Our D still doesn't have a great rush front. And Without looking at film in 2nd half, it doesnt seem like Mason adjusted enough to try to disrupt a hot QB. ANd Mason's DB zone sucks if you don't have any kind of pass rush. Period.

Why do you want to keep a coach that is only good every other year, and still terrible in the post season.

There is only 2 posters asking for any changes.

Lol. never said that either. Said I expect him to be gone after year 3. That's not calling for anything.

Dude you have a massive hard on for me. I guess I stole your thunder here on the board. Sorry I'm more interesting.

You and hailChiz need to keep up. You in particular don’t even make sense.

You asked how I thought Malzahn would have done against state and my answer definitely didn’t say “I wanted to keep a coach that is only good every other year, and still terrible in the post season.” I was Gus’s critic while you were still doing Gus’s cum bubbles.

It was a half hearted joke but Malzahn never blew a 25 point lead against state, so I don’t know why he asked how I thought Malzahn would’ve done. A complete nonsense shellacking would’ve felt better than that.

What happened is a major red flag. It’s not like we lost a competitive shoot-out. They scored 40 unanswered points. The score could have been much higher…we were saved by the bell.

Coaches did not adjust, react, whatever. I don’t think they even understood what was happening. So far recruiting was the main issue, now you can add coaching to the list.

I was just trying to make sense of your odd year comment. Like in what mindset do you think it's right for an 8 year coach to only have a good O-line every other year instead of consistently developed understudies so that there is no drop off. This goes without saying not recruiting at all for O-line will do that which even Harsin improved on with the very short time he had to recruit if I remember correctly.

In all I think we need like an understanding that there is a lot of emotionally fueled reactions after a loss like that, no one likes to have 40 unanswered points in a conference essential game like that. This was the final straw of a worthwhile first season result. I want to give this man a complete chance to get things right he really seems to want to make us back to what we should be.

We will constantly face an uphill battle in the same state as Saban in recruiting, that won't change with any coach we could get. Saban basically always gets the pick of the litter

Slow your roll homie. It isn’t RIGHT that our program is only fun when the stars line up. That was my biggest criticism. The odd year comment was just to say well it’s the odd year, so don’t assume our team would not be picking up steam right about now. Pretty interesting that our OL is starting to tick up.

That’s fair. I’m fairly distant from believing he is the right head coach for us, so he will have to prove some things to bring me back in the fold. It takes leadership to stop the bleeding and to make the tough but right decisions. Yet he had catastrophic leadership and game management flaws aka that stupid fake punt. A bad L isn’t the only thing I learned about the coaching staff. So while I’m not calling for him to be fired, I’m lukewarm on him. I don’t see how every Auburn fan isn’t scarred for life from that game. How can you have trust that Auburn is up by 3 scores and our team will be able to stop the bleeding once the opponent starts scoring? If you can’t trust that our leadership will stop the spectating and actually stop the bleed then that coach isn’t right for this sidewalker.
