Our worse recruiting class since 2015, is 12th in the COUNTRY. If you are waiting on top 5 classed every year, then you are in for a long, arse wait.

You're right, but I think he is too. That's just our current situation as long as Nick Saban is the coach at Bama.

Man you love some Gus

Are you saying its not true? Its more to do with the good that has been here the past 10 years.

Lanier and I get cracked up at the every week someone new that won a game pops up as the next AU coach and regardless what you think most coaches out there will be a huge downgrade from Gus. Watch and see.

Dear God, this is the world of stupidity that we live in.

We have the most empirically AVERAGE head coach imaginable who is in year 8 and losing momentum on a yearly and now weekly basis, and we actually have self proclaimed "smart" fans not only suggesting that there aren't a multitude of options available that would at minimum produce equally average results, but that we'll actually REGRET making a change.

Not only do the pure numbers in about 12+ different metrics conclude that Malzahn isn't anything more than average, his entire tenure here has showcased a wide variety of absolutely reprehensible coaching deficiencies which show that he is in fact completely and utterly incompetent. You want me to list a few out for you?

1) Absolutely zero year over year roster building. No ability to plan for deficiencies or create a lasting product. OL recruiting has been in shambles for about 5 years now and yet our "answer" is to continue running to 1-2 year patchwork grad transfers. We have more fricking TE's on the roster than Tackles, and we throw to the ball to the position maybe twice a game. Every season its a revolving door of starting over from scratch SOMEWHERE on the field: one year we'll have a DL but no LB's, the next year we'll have LB's but no DB's. If we have DB's and LB's, the DL is in a rebuild. The OL is basically a question mark every single season. RB's? We have 4+ four stars on the roster at all times, and yet somehow every season our entire offense is dependent on one back staying healthy.

2) Complete inability at the most important position on the field - the Quarterback. We have an "offensive minded" HC who can't evaluate, develop, OR utilize the position whatsoever. This doesn't even need to be expanded on any further because the revolving door of players at the position who all show the exact same deficiencies and zero progression from freshman to senior seasons is mind blowing.

3) Complete inability to interpret his own roster. What do we even do all spring/summer in training camp? Every season there is a ~4 game buffer period we need to play through just to evaluate who can even do what on offense and what our style of play will be. Even with Cam and Marshall, it took our idiot savant HC 3+ games to figure out that we could just run up and down the field on everyone. Lets now tie all of this back to the infamous 2016 Clemson game: we spent all offseason evaluating our roster only to come out with a gameplan that resulted in 5 different players - including a fricking FB - taking a snap at QB. This is like 1A HS "fire the coach" type of clown-shite; and its coming from our SEC HC who we're supposed to be deathly afraid of replacing? Really?

4) The mindset of a complete loser who passes all responsibility off of himself. Our head coach is a weasel with zero interest in anything other than preserving his own self image. If any of you guys actually watch the games - you will notice that we very often concede losses but play to minimize the margin of defeat so that Malzahn can save face. We literally play for field goals (it just happened against Bama) in games wherein we should be throwing everything including the kitchen sink. Why? So our HC can do his little interview after the game and celebrate how we played a close game against a "tough opponent", and of course, "we've got to get better - and we will". Now lets go even deeper and bring up the revolving door of OC's he's brought in to eventually throw under the bus to buy himself more time. All of them are running some variation of Malzahn's own offense - but yet when the results became intolerable, the answer is always that we need one of Malzahn's other "friends". There is always an excuse for every loss, and at no point in time has any criticism been absorbed by the HC himself. "We're a young team" (5+ years into his tenure), "We've got to get better" (in a game with absolutely horrendous play-calling and scheming), etc, etc. Teams take on the personality of their head coach - and yet people question how year after year our players don't look ready to play. They're confused on the field. They're happy to be talking trash after making a hit on a 15 yard pass completion while losing the game to fricking South Carolina. No shite we exhibit all of those qualities - because that is Malzahn in a nutshell. You're surprised that players look unprepared playing for a HC who trotted out 5 different players in a single game at quarterback?

That is just 4 things off the top of my head, but that list could be expanded further. The above are qualities that make or break a HC with no further questions whatsoever. Its like when you go for your driving test - you're allowed a certain number of small mistakes and as long as you don't make too many of them, you can still pass. However, fail to make a proper stop at a stop sign - and its an auto-fail. When you come in as an offensive minded HC who does nothing on the defensive side of the football and you can't comprehend that an offense can't function without OL and QB play, then that is an auto-fail my guy.


Now, I knew I said that we'd omit the actual empirical analysis of why he is conclusively the definition of average, but if you want to take a look at some of those as well as the proverbial "cherry on top":

We don't need top 5 classes every year, to be in contention. A consistent top 15 class WITH competent coaching should have us with a good shot of winning the West, and not losing to a bad USC, a bad LSU on the road, a bad Tennessee at home, and getting blown out by Alabama everyother year.

Competing with Alabama and their almost #1 recruiting class every year is one thing, being middle of the pack consistently is a whole other animal. We are at USC, OM, and MS level right now, and have been for a while, even with far more talent.

So your goal for our program is to just play closer games with Bama and never be upset by a lesser team? Weird and arbitrary.

Stop be obtuse. We will never be a real threat to Alabama as long as Gus is at the helm. The more glaring issue is, we aren't a threat to UGA even when they are shitty, and even a horrible TN and USC team can now march into Jordan-Hare with a higher than normal confidence.

If you enjoy the occasional last second, freaky win every now and then, and the rest of the time, getting blown off the field by Alabama, then Gus is your man. If you enjoy the excitement of a close game, with the uncertainty of a win against crappy teams, then Gus is your huckleberry.

Let me ask you this, are you confident that Auburn will beat Miss State? I won't even ask you about TAM, because it would take a orange & blue glasses wearing retard to believe Auburn has a good chance of winning that game.

And secondary, I look at Mac vs Bo. Bo has regressed with Mac being a Heisman contender. Sans the Bama game, we should have beat every other team so far this season.

Retarded post is retarded.

Yes the word triggers me. Thanks pointing out what a complete a-hole looks like. Some of you act like fricking 5 year olds.

would have loved to see you post on the rant before we had our own board.

So disagreeing with someone is bitching and moaning. And I’m the triggered on. Got it thanks for clearing that up. I haven’t bitched about shite except the ignorance of discussing firing Gus in every thread when people want to discuss something else but idiots like yourself have to come into every thread and muh fire Gus. My time will be short here. Trying to make it to the end of the season then I’ll be gone until Gus is gone then I will come back and point and laugh at y’all idiots. Bank on it. So no worries my time is short and y’all can have your circle jerk without me interrupting.
