The football program is what it is until they deliver W’s…. The PTB, BOT Gus, Potatohead, that loser President that was fired and Allan Green are all to blame for the worst stretch of football since Barfield… Thank you Bruce for being the bright shining example of what AU should be.

Right now everyone is loving Auburn. Tom Crean and his two ESPN colleagues all said we are the best team in the nation.

I am so proud of our basketball team and Coach Pearl.

Give Freeze a chance to get some players. Bruce had to go thru the same thing when he arrived on The Plains. It speaks volumes that some of the best QB talent in the country are now, at least, considering AU! Freeze has addressed the skill position black hole, just needs to shore up the OL and get the QB position upgraded.
We are all euphoric over the state of the BB program, but don't forget where it was when Bruce arrived, and how long it took him to make it what we are seeing today. For comparison, here's how we did in Bruce's first 3 seasons as AU's HC:
2014–15 Auburn 15–20
2015–16 Auburn 11–20
2016–17 Auburn 6–14

You are right and wrong at the same time.
Bruce has and had always had credentials of building Top 5 TEAMS in the country not just Top 5 talent.
Bruce is an EXCELLENT COACH, not just recruiter.
Freeze doesn’t have these credentials YET.
So comparing those 2 coaches doesn’t work here.
Now what they DO have in common is that their kids absolutely LOVE em.

We were patient with Bruce because the inadequacy of the roster was patently obvious when he came in. We had some nice flashes with Cinmeon and Kareem Canty though.
It would have all come together in 17-18 but we were short handed with Danjel and Austin having to sit due to the scandal. That team was primed for a deep run even without them until Anfernee’s catastrophic injury against USCe as we were wrapping up the SEC title. Memory of that play is seared in my brain.

Our team is insanely good!! Fun to watch. We can beat you in the post, with the 3-ball, from the wing, in transition, on the glass, and in the paint. Haven’t missed one second of one game. We are must see TV baby!!!!!

quote:That's my point! Bruce inherited a horrible roster, had a rough go his 1st 3 years, since then we've gone to a Final 4 and currently have the best team in the nation! Freeze walked into, arguably, a worse situation, yet we have a vocal minority of fans wanting to fire him before he's done with his 2nd season, all the while, bringing in talent like we haven't seen in a very long time!

You'd be hard pressed to find an average IQ person who thinks a football program is easier to turnaround, than a BB program.
