You must not be old enough to remember Barfield then. Auburn sucked AND got on probation. Yet the team had some great talents. Joe Cribbs, William Andrews amongst them. Barfield sucked balls.

Croom was horrible. You guys can "he was a good man" all you want, he was horrible. He came in with this "clean it up" attitude, which he did, but he was over his head coaching in the SEC.
Ellis Johnson's defense gave him an 8-win season or he would have been gone a year earlier.
The fact that Sly Croom beat Nick Saban is one of the pieces of college football unbelievable trivia.
Croom wanted to coach Alabama. Alabama dodged a bullet by not hiring him. Croom came in, made us look like a maroon version of Alabama with plain jerseys and double stripe pants. Rumor is he wanted maroon helmets with numbers on the side and the athletic director nixed it.
He was always talking about the Bear. It was weird. When he beat Alabama that time, I thought he was going to lose it. Was very good at making other teams like him. "You guys are in good shape with Croom," said the LSU fan after beating us 47-0. "Love your coach. He's a good guy," said the Auburn fan after beating us 42-0.
But it was laughable how over his head he was. He would panic if it looked like we were going to win the game. 4th quarter at Georgia one year - we are down by 2 and driving. 4th and 2 at the Georgia 40. He decides to go for it and we make it. 3 plays later, we have 4th and 1 at the Georgia 30 and he punts.
It was baffling.
And he also coached in the 3-2 game.
