While I agree that the Hugh hire was a monumental error, I think we're underestimating the effect of having an active coach.

Under Freeze, there were almost no second half adjustments on offense. Same routes, same calls, same failures. How many of those close games could have been won if there was a coach who gave a shite?

I hope Golesh helps us out there.

Golesh has had to do a complete rebuild of this program from the ground up - i plan on being patient this season


Nah, we ain’t doing that again. Not in the portal world. If he doesn’t win at least 8, he’s not the guy.

Might as well. It’d be better than him talking like Hew and saying he’s so close for 3 more years. If Drago is a good coach and knows what he’s doing in the portal, there’s no reason to not win at least 3 more games this year. Especially since he brought in his QB and WRs that already know the system.

People forget we had 5+ years of complete incompetence running the show, and the product in the field shows it. If I had a son who had legitimate NFL chances as an offensive player, no chance Auburn would be the choice, regardless of if they were the highest bidder. You sleep in the bed you make. This is our bed right now, and our roster shows it. 8 wins, and an offensive output of 30 plus points per game, and players getting drafted will make our bed a little more comfortable

I’m hoping for 7-5 and will be okay with 6-6 if we show signs of life


Hugh offense never showed signs of life. Even if we lucked out and won 6 or 7 this year, I still wouldn’t believe Hugh was close.
