Football- Shite
Basketball- Shite
Baseball-Shite

The big 3 sports are failing. He made some boneheaded decisions around football and basketball. We are gonna have to make a move for a baseball and basketball coach in the next year or two. I don’t trust him to hire anyone worth a damn. He totally screwed up the basketball by not putting an interim tag on SP. We are a GOLF school now.

baseball is fine it just needs to give Auburn fans little more to cheer about to atone for a miserable sports year.

Losing to Bama after this year is not what I had in mind.

i think he was “persuaded” to hire Freezus and to a certain extent SP as well (although he certainly could have made the latter’s deal with terms more conducive to his lack of experience)

i dont know how much input he had on Golesh, but i strongly believe that was the absolute best hire for the program

may be the case for basketball but if he fires Butch he’s a bigger idiot than even you think he is

Cohen is like everything with Auburn sports - aim low and cheap and hope for the best.

It worked with Pearl and that's about it. I don't think State was sad to see Cohen go and so far, I can see why.

its always been my contention that the GOBs wanted Freezus from back when Gustav got the axe - they pushed for Steele to buy time to sell the rest of the fanbase on the idea, but AG went rogue with Meathead Harsin

after that debacle Cohen was still figuring out the best way to drive from his house to the office so he probably said “whatever yall want” to hiring Freezus

but you’re right, Cohen’s departure from StarkVegas wasnt exactly mourned, despite his very successful tenure on the diamond - he wasn’t terribly highly thought of as an AD

still giving him credit for Golesh, he is the antithesis of the kind of guy AU would turn over the football program to, which is why i like him so much - but i do wonder if Cohen hired him out of desperation

Mmmkay. Well, I’ll try and figure out whatever you’ve decided I’ve done in your head that you don’t feel like sharing that has upset you so and not do it again.

You could turn in mod duty and then play in traffic instead.


We are about to get swept by our rival in one of our better sports left but Gocrazy is more interested in the behavior of the fanbase. Must be entertaining from way up there

First time since 2002. Butch has major problems on his hands.
