I think it was rational to think we didn’t have a lot of talent for him to throw to. The miscalculation in my opinion was not seeing enough in spring to adjust for fall. Our defense has been good enough to shut him down in practice I’d believe so if we struggled against ourselves at all why would we think others wouldn’t do the same?

I am sorry that multitudes of Auburn fans calling out the horrendous coaching decisions and terrible play calling is making you upset. Maybe try recognizing the truth of what we are all seeing on the football field…

The problem with Thorne is he doesn't have the stones to make plays when it is crunch time. The kid is a loser

Even spend one year of what it would cost to buy out Freeze on say Cam Ward this year and we're one loss or undefeated.

Idk about that. I saw him flinch at a blitz in the A-day game…with a non contact jersey on.

Buying players is not the same as recruiting them. If he bought them, they may stay bought. But he will have to coach them to win. Just like the Freeze 5. The only one stepping up is the one he didnt coach. The one from Penn.

It's in our best interest that he succeeds so yall get out the fricking way and stop making up shite about what goes on behind the scenes
Ive not made anything up and know jack shite about what goes on behind the scenes and have never hinted I do
AllI I do know is that he is a terrible coach and can not sure the talent he has to beat teams that have 1/2 the talent we do. That is how I measure how good he is
Dude sucks and you praying that magic happens next year is just going to make you look and feel worse next year. Just like the ones of you who thought THrone was all the sudden going to learn to play QB in his 5th year.
I get your frustrated and want things to be better but just hoping wont do it. And once again.
More talent wont make him a better coach.

Had to pick up my kid from a school event had to listen to,the last part of the game. Sounds like the D got worn out as usual.

I'm seeing truths homeboy. He's sucked since shite went south. By his own doing.
His offense was also moving the ball up and down the field when he trusted Thorne.
He's never gonna run the ball first.
He sucks at some things you don't want your coach to suck at.
But he's recruiting his arse off and has guys bought in. I don't see the culture problem everybody else sees. Losing these games isn't evidence enough. There are many reasons outside of culture we're losing these games. Many of them are his fault. But the future is still alive.
If he can have a couple 10 win seasons and get fired after going 8-4, 7-5 bc he blew a couple games i think the program is in a better place than it would be if we fired him now.
That was his ceiling at ole miss but maybe the advantage of auburn can push it a little higher, idk.

Coleman should have scored a 98 yard TD if Thorne puts the ball on the money in the 3rd quarter.

Some guys have it under the bright lights and shine with contact, others shy away.

This isn't how it works. Everybody's throwing bags, you have to throw a big bag AND sell them on the program. You're just afraid to give him a morsel of credit.

Culture problems are made up and extend behind the scenes. If our culture sucked that recruiting class wouldn't be sitting there chomping at the bit to come turn it around. They'd go play somewhere else and still get their money.

He has faults. He'll cost us games if he can't get some things to click upstairs. He could be a completely different coach when he's coaching with confidence, we don't know yet. I didn't have an issue with him til the Oklahoma game and now the season has snow balled on him and he's coaching like a man that's lost it. It's rough to watch. I want a guy that can win it those situations just like yall. But he gets one more year from me.

What good are highly recruited players that aren't developed? These guys call the most boneheaded plays at the worst time. What if freeze misses on another portal qb? According to everyone on here the backups all suck so are we right back in the same situation next season? They sure as hell aren't getting any game time experience. Freeze keeps playing the guy that can't get it done.

The recruiting won’t just keep going. We keep this up next year, it’s going to dry up.

Idk how you can make a judgement on the wrs development one way or another. The offense isn't giving them an opportunity to show anything rn.

It wasn't this way until Plan A and Plan HB went out the window.

Then he's done. Plain and simple. He's got the support. He's got the wr crew. He's got a seasoned o-line. Everything's in place to attract somebody.
