Actually I was the first negatiger for the season when everyone was predicting preseason of 14-4 and 13-5. I said maybe 10-8.

I was wrong on some players I thought Oporum would develop some and Bashir could be an outside scorer. Magwood has all the talent is just a dumbass.

Oh shite call Corch… i believed we could beat the shite teams down the stretch of the schedule. We didn’t. Oh well. I’ve been wrong before im sure I will be again. Haters yall win the internet today. Congrats

I think this is completely fair to say and the biggest example of how Bruce fricked him over. As soon as anything goes wrong it was way too easy for the players to say "I didn't sign up to play for this guy" and we saw that.. the mentally weak will look for any excuse and it was built in before we ever had our first practice.

How dare Steven punish them.

You read what I said wrong. He didn't punish him enough is what I'm saying. A player showing up late this week is the ultimate don't give a frick.. He should be kicked off the team completely at this point.

Pssst… not shittingon any players but just passing along some inside info.

Auburn athletes have a drug problem. Not that it doesn’t happen at other places but weed is a major issue within the entire athletic department.

I’ll be shocked if you ever played the game to be honest. You’s a bit too high and mighty for a player.

The talent on the team wasn’t near as good as I thought it was. Pettiford isn’t good as the QB of the team. Great 6th man change up type scorer. Hall terrible teammate. Murphy is ok for a backup big in conference but not big enough to play 35 minutes. SWA, Freeman, and Jovic to inexperienced. Overton about what I expected. Some games he was actually a better scorer from outside then I thought he would be but a worse defender then I thought. That’s definitely enough to swing a record 3-4 games. If they would have been better then I expect then 12-6 would have been a nice surprise.

This in a nutshell. There is no reason the talent on this team should have gone 6-10 so far, but they clearly gave up on Steven. The effort level post Bama game compared to the rest of the season after that has been night and day, and Steven's coaching seemed to suffer after the Texas game. Seemed like all the player conflicts with him seemed to snowball things.

The issue to me is that is the sort of thing coaches rarely come back from overall. Gotta hope the money people give him a shot with NIL dollars to turn things around, but I kinda doubt it when they were forced into hiring him.
