That’s gotta be the worst stretch since the Barfield era. I think someone mentioned that we have lost the culture of winning over the last decade. I remember in the early 2010s we could find ways to win better than any other team. What will it take for us to stop finding ways to lose and get out of this funk?

maybe the price of pressure treated pine has fallen and that fat yella dude hasn't been doing enough.
Saban will retire soon, NIL has leveled the playing field so we can compete with Kirby for recruits and we have to hope that Freeze is the right head coach with a new DC incoming.

Somebody like Pat Dye.

We need to get some big money claws out of the program, but that will never happen. And we hired another Malzahn, so it’s like being in The Groundhog Day movie.

This decade is still pretty young…

We went 20-22-2 from 1975-1977. This included Shug's final season in '75.

It’s the worst since Barfield for sure.
But what’s worse is that we’ve only had two seasons manifest as competitive from start to finish since 2007. 2007 and 2017 are the only two seasons in 17 years to start with expectations to win and end with a decent grade. Even then, those two seasons ended with multiple losses.
2010 and 2013 were both expected to be rebuilding years, but we knocked it out of the park. 2019 was also expected to be a rebuilding year but turned out decent.
2011, 2014, 2018, and 2020 were all expected to be good seasons and were massive disappointments.
2008, 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2022 were all awful.
2009, 2021, and 2023 featured first year head coaches, but only 2009 really felt like it was building momentum with our in-season performance. 2021 and 2023 had their moments, but everyone was concerned.
Point is, our experience as Auburn fans has sucked for a long, long time. Even when we’re good, it comes as a surprise and almost unbelievable. In 2013, we got boat raced by LSU early on and didn’t really see ourselves as championship level until Tennessee late in the season.
I’m 2017, we lost to Clemson and LSU. Even in that “decent” season, we watched Georgia and Alabama compete for the NC. That sucked.
In seasons we think we’ll be good, we end up sucking. 2011, 2018, and 2020 were supposed to be good seasons. We blew monkey balls.
So again, point is, in 17 years, we’ve had two seasons that met expectations for a positive experience (2007 and 2017). Everything else has been a rollercoaster with mostly broken hearts.

To be fair we’ve had 3 coaches this decade.

We expect loses to bama, uga, a&m, lsu.
If you dont expect to lose then its because youre old enough to remember 2005 and before
Which in college kid speak was a long long long time ago
