Gus has never proven to maintain a program.

He had one HC gig at stAte and now at Auburn. Being a head coach is more than being a splash in one year.

See Nutt at Ole Miss.

Fair enough. Maybe his offense won't work out long-term, but I just haven't seen anything to make me believe it won't. He seems to adapt from year to year to match the talent he has to work with and what defense are doing.

As I have said a hundred times. Gus started putting this team together when he was OC. It is built for his system, and has pretty good talent.

Give Bert the same circumstances and we aren't 3-8 this year.

People who don't see that are idiots.

I'll take Bert all day erry day

The arguement against that is that he has literally never had a bad year as a coach for a college football team. And the following year that he left, the team dropped off considerably. Immediate success at Arkansas in '06, our team in '07 was garbage. A Natty in Auburn, the next season they win what? 6-8 games? 10 win seasons at stAte, and now another Natty shot at Auburn a year after they went completely winless in the SEC. Winning follows him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we hired Bert, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think Gus was a damn good football coach.
