Auburn has had top 10 recruiting classes the last 4 years. He had some great talent to work with. And he was a few plays away from losing 3-4 games this season.
35

Didn't you hear? He's an offensive genius.
It's hard to dial up the same play over and over.

No, he should probably be fired

The biggest thing is that he already had is players in

Terrible job actually.

Ultimately 12-1 > 3-9 by a tad bit.

No he didn't do a good job at all. Not sure why all the hype. Can't believe we gave him a raise and all. 
We are so screwed at AU.

2012 Total Offense Rank = 118
2013 Total Offense Rank = 11
Tell me another coach that could have done that at AU this year.

Coincidentally Texas A&M is a few plays from being 10-2 this season, but instead they are a lowly 8-4 bottom feeder.

If you're asking if what he did was take a talentless team in utter disrepair, rebuild it in the offseason and then go on to a magical season with a title game ahead then the answer is no.
The players, the system, damn near everything but the coach was in place at Auburn for Gus to make Auburn a winning team this year. Where he excelled is in taking them to 12-1 when Auburn could've easily been an 10-2, 9-3, or 8-4 team instead.
When he arrived Auburn definitely had the talent for 10-2 so where I see Gus excelling the most is in giving them 2 more wins with only 1 loss. That is a good coach. Any coach who accounts for 1 or more extra wins that the talent alone wouldn't account for is a good one. And Gus is responsible for those extra wins.
Last season, Chizik actually minused out the talent under him and the blame for the 3-9 (0-8 SEC) record is squarely on him rather than the players.

No, it's really easy to get players who went 0-8 last year to believe they're actually a national championship caliber team. You just give an enthusiastic pep talk and voila, back on track.

He is in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game.

People are forgetting Auburn was 3 plays away from 8-4. Someone needs to find out who Gus sold his soul to, to have this MIRACULOUS LUCK.

These threads make me happy

Gus sucks actually. I personally hope he hoovers Auburn to 12-1 and 13-0 seasons regularly.

That would get him $5 million per year at tamu
