Out rebounded 41-26 by a Nate Oats team, just pathetic. I'm sure we have to bring Steven back but it would take a miracle for him to be able to turn this around. I see two options...
1. Most of these guys come back because they don't get better offers and they've already shown they will quit on him.
2. We replace almost the whole team and our boosters won't support Steven financially when are going to have to overpay because of our coaching situation and our talent level sinks further.

i dont think 1
other teams will take these players because they can say it was the coaching - and nobody will doubt that except a few clueless auburn fans

I think SWA Jovic Overton and Freeman return. We go get 4 top starter level players. Finish up with 3 specific role players.
That’s my guess. With the money we spent on hall and Pettiford we can get 4 guys that are starter level.

This is the Auburn 2021 roster sans Shariffe playing the hardest schedule in the country.
Dude, you can say you aren't going to fully judge him till he gets his own players and you want him to get a second year and that's fine as an opinion. But this is a load of crap. The talent on this team is more comparable to the 2023 team than it is 21 without Cooper.
We lost to Ole Miss and A&M at home and Okie and Miss St on the road, and we have a good bit more talent than all of those teams. Those losses are a coaching and culture issue, not a talent issue.
He lost this team and they've played like shite down the stretch, it is what it is. The roster wasn't a great mix, but don't try and pretend their wasn't the talent level to make the tournament on this team, because there was. The almost win versus Houston, the win versus St Johns, and the Florida road win proved that.
He'll get another year because we aren't cutting ties after one year, but his coaching post Texas has been bad and gives me little hope we can reload and rebound under him.

Johni at Murray state? You hitting the sauce hard again tonight my man?

This is my concern and what I see happening. We bring back Freeman, Jovic, Overton, and maybe SWA if he doesn't get snatched. Then we get out spent for good players due to lack of booster support because Bruce forced Steven on them.
Worst part is we owe Steven half his contract if he is fired and they gave him 5 years.

the stats are amazing, we were 84% on FT to bama's 65%, hit more 3s then they did... but trailed by 15-28 points for more than half the game.

So pony up to fire someone but not to get players to win. Do yall think sometimes before hitting submit?

Nobody wants to have this conversation because it sucks to admit Bruce has faults but why cant we just talk about post retirement Bruce and not the guy we love.
Post retirement Bruce is not the do no wrong guy that demands my patience while working for TNT that he was as our coach weathering shite rosters. He has already stepped away and it's not his baby in the water.
He needs to save face and admit his son isnt going to work out and bless a new search. It will help him and his reputation. I am not smitten by some sentimental logic that he built the house so its his preogrative to handle matches in gas fumed walls inside it. Just doesnt make sense.

Bruce bounced with a flawed roster. He set his son up. Everyone on this board would do the exact same.
Steven will get a minimum 3 years. However I think he will be here for a while. Not sure he’s a 20 year coach but keeping the staff together is the main thing now.
Get players that don’t think they arrived and get players that want to play in a high intensity system.

More than likely Bruce bounced after the final 4 and the roster was Steven's.
Psychologically and strategically Bruce knew last year was his all-in. The offseason he just stuck around to get Steven pushed in.
Steven doesn't deserve another year, but he will get it. The quicker we end it the better

Not true. With good coaching - this team is a 6 seed.

If he does - we are morons.

Yall get so drunk on the current Auburn coach of whatever. How many times do you have to be wrong? How many times?
Cut fricking bait and get better.

We clearly are thinking more than you, who have been consistently making claims about football and basketball the last couple years that wound up dead wrong. How's that Auburn basketball is in the tournament no matter what prediction working out for you that you made a couple weeks ago?
If the boosters don't have confidence in him why would they pony up more NIL for him? Particularly when Bruce basically forced him on us by retiring last second. We already basically got outspent and weren't able to fill the roster this past off-season, not sure why we should expect we will be able to fill the roster properly after this seasons collapse and Steven not looking like a good coach to play for.
Hopefully what you are predicting happens, but it's far more likely to see the opposite right now. And it's sure a hell of a lot more likely than him being here a long time like you are predicting.

They killed in the paint.. many times our guys didn’t even bother contesting..
Hence coaching

We were playing the perimeter and they were too quick for us in the paint.
My issue with last night is they played better D and had way more hustle. For a team fighting to get in, that shouldn’t happen.
