re: First 3 seasons at Bama after the original GOAT retired

Four of Auburn’s last seven coaches had a losing record their first year at Auburn. Pat Dye and Tommy Turberville each started off 5-6. Bryan Harsin and Hugh Freeze each started 6-7. Shug Jordan didn’t have a winning season until his third year at Auburn.

There are always growing pains with new coaches. But Deboer won’t pull an Auburn and have a losing record next year.
