Gus choked in the National Championship. Even Chizik is better than Gus. Gus could've left in 2015 and Auburn wouldve been better off for it.

But we gave Gus plenty of time to right the ship, but instead he grounded it on a sandbar and got fired for it.


And once he grounded it on the sand bar he had no plan to get off the sand bar. His plan of keeping the steering wheel straight and full throttle ahead was the only thing he knew to do so he died on the sand bar.

Gus has some great recruiting classes.



Yeah, and 80%+ of them were gone after a couple of years, and a lot of them never even saw the field out of the ones who were left.
Great crootin classes aren't worth squat if they never translate to on-field results.

Was it Gus or Nick that made 2013 happen?


Amazing season after spending 2012 in the gutter. Gus, Nick and a lot of talent in the cupboard including the #2 NFL draft pick on the OL.

This is why he had to go. Losing record on the road against Lsu, bammer, and thuga.

Can't hate the guy, he seems like a good person but nothing changes.

Can't win bowl games, loses dumb games like 0-2 against Navy while the current UCF coach, I have no football knowledge from actual experience but I know what is going to happen when I see the kids line up and if I do so does an actual coach.

I took GT to win outright +180 bc there never was a doubt what would happen in that game. Get up a lead early and piss it away.

It really is amazing how he never learns. He lives in this insulated bubble world between his ears and nothing in the real world can penetrate.

It really is his own personal Groundhog Day.

God bless him, he's made a great living off of it.

Should be mentioned that Gus got a raise to 4 million per year and extension this year through 2027 (Big 12 type contract). Will be 5.5 million a year in 2026 and 2027.
