No. Your "observation" of a fanbase while you should be observing the shitty game is my point. So STFU

Oh, so you were just making things up in your head to be upset about. Glad we cleared that up.

It isn’t difficult to discern that something isn’t right within the AD… All three major men’s programs aren’t trending where they need to be.. you don’t get swept by that program in west Vance, you certainly don’t flounder after a final four nor do you wallow in mediocrity for a damn near decade in football after blowing more than a hundred million $$$ in upgrades and buyouts… our leadership from BOT to Admin is inept…

You forgot Women's basketball... 3-13 this year. (conf)
Women's Softball so far 2-7 (Conf)

I know these aren't the big 3 but we should be competitive

Don’t completely disagree, but i think many give the AD way too much credit for what goes on. The president and AD going rogue like Greene did is far from the norm. So, if the issue are our PTB, getting rid of an AD isn’t going to solve the problems people think it will, as the AD may or may not be the problem. I mean we had a thread not long ago about bringing Jacob’s back. Baseball is still going to most likely be top 10 in the country after this weekend. I think it is premature to melt down about them. Being upset about football and basketball is beyond reasonable. I think if Golesh fails, Cohen will probably be gone regardless, but I think that is probably the first hire that was more or less truly his decision. I personally think Freeze was happening no matter who we had in place.

Where you at Go Crazy,

I know you want to complain about the fanbase when the fanbase has been dealt a shite pie all year long

Is that beneath you? Do people even know you're an Auburn fan or did you isolate that aspect of your life?

I think the fans have every right to be pissed about certain things.

Everything having conference losing seasons is one of those things but that’s just my opinion. Granted if Cohen is the figure head that raises money, upgrades facilities, hires and fires coaches then that’s fine. But if he is really over the AD and every sport that draws any interest other then from the athletes parents someone, the school president, or board needs to a have a serious conversation about the results against the competition.

Agreed. We’ve been nothing but dogshit with Cohen. It’s embarrassing. Get a fricking pro in there not some washed baseball coach.

Well a few things. We aren’t firing Butch. Why would we?

Golesh is his second football hire if he crashes and burns then sure it’s time to move on from Cohen.

No other person in the AD spot would have hired anyone but Steven to be head coach.

So he has one more year. If Golesh fails to profit winning season, if Steven’s new roster fails to play exciting basketball and/or fails to make the tournament he might be in trouble.

I will place one thing on the fans. I’m a patient person when it comes to development but the fans may be to loyal. We have done everything as as far as sport participation. We have packed out our home games, taken over neutral sites, pissed off the Dukes of the world scooping up tickets. Granted we have been pretty elite I. Baseball and basketball, but that support has also been there for football with pitiful performances even against inferior competition. My young adult years were in the 90’s. We have a massive chip on our shoulders and in football if you played Auburn you knew it was gonna be as arse whipping if you won or lost against us. That’s cultural within the building or just talent on the field.

I say that as someone that is indifferent to Cohen. I wasn’t a fan when he popped up as the leader before being hired but have given him his chance. He has one year to get his shite together. To push his vision for what the expectations are from the top down. Yes everything is judged on a curve. But we should be meeting the expectations of not exceeding them.

If I could sue Auburn for pain and suffering I would. Someone else will try it and they deserve to own the school.

Auburn wants to play games- circling wagons around Steele, hiring liberty biberty, pulling NIL money in spring recruiting season in an over abundance of caution, or hire nepo because we love Bruce so much, then they should pay.

I hate Butch has to catch strays because he has been positive for Auburn but this weekend was dreck and he knows better than to let this happen. Mediocrity is deep and not worth sidewalk fans like me paying a second of attention to it. Yet here I am. love it so much I hate it and hate it so much it should be set on fire.

Was I complaining about them? I merely said it was something to witness. I didn’t say they weren’t justified or even wrong. Twitter especially was pretty impressive tonight. Thus my confusion as I legitimately did not understand what issue you were taking. I wasn’t even responding directly to the OP.

I think melting down over baseball right now is premature. Sucks arse to get swept. Still a long season though and we have a good team. Football and basketball have been fully justified IMO. Football has just been a shite sandwich, but I have confidence in Golesh. Basketball, just a monumental collapse to end the season. Can’t play your way out of the tournament how we didn’t pretty unacceptable.

The AD tends to get way too much blame when things go poorly and almost no credit when they go well when it comes to on field performance. They don’t however have that much impact on the performance outside of the coaches they hire. Cohen deserves all the blame for how his coaches perform that he hires and rightfully so.

However, when we have a good coach, I think it is just displacement when things don’t go well or go as expected, to just take out frustration on the figurehead. Which, ultimately I don’t think is productive. As you said in an other post, we aren’t firing Butch. He is a great coach. Us succeeding or failing this year also isn’t going be because a Cohen is or isn’t a good AD. For all MSU fans have said good riddance to him, I don’t think I’d say they’ve really had any great improvements in their big sports post him. That’s not an endorsement of Cohen, just I think the AD gets overemphasized beyond what they actually do.
