We have all the pieces to field a good defense. The offense has the potential to be okay, not great. But to watch a coach continually squander good opportunities and momentum by playing a game of musical QBs is one of the most infuriating things I've ever seen as a fan.

I think Malzahn is so arrogant and so stubborn that he thinks he can plug and play with anybody and it will work, and he is just waiting on a QB to show something. I don't think he is a bad offensive mind, but I do think he does nothing in the way of QB development and very little in the way of adjusting anything to fit the players we have on the roster.

I think we had a legit possibility of fielding a really good team led by a very good defense and it's all going to go to waste because our offense looks like a confused, disorganized mess.

If you want to see more stubbornness, watch his post game presser.

There was no rhyme or reason to the quarterback changes. He seemed to be flipping just about every other play. I had never seen anything like that.

I haven't yet watched the entire game but just off the cuff. He had Auburn in a place to win late in the game.

Seriuosly, if he really doesn't know what QB to use, I would play one for an entire quarter, the other for the next quarter, then the 3rd for the 3rd quarter. Whoever played the best for their quarter, plays the 4th.
And then settle on one. Maybe bring in JJ on short yardage plays, etc. or something like that.

It's looks like this is the best defense he has had and he is killing the offense with his play calling.

Cam Newton and a few lucky bounces made a bunch of people think he was a legit coach, but they have mostly all woke up at this point.

I was watching Franklin move the ball down the field and then he puts in JJ and he throws an INT. Gus has some explaining to do.

A great coach molds his schemes around what his players are able to do. His players aren't able to do what Gus wants to do and it's causing chaos.

You guys looked pretty damn good to me considering you were playing Clemson. Yeah you probably should have won but you guys are panicking too much.

I had you winning about 10 games anyway.

Have the QB manage the game, run the ball, and don't put the QB in a position to turn the ball over.

Sounds like Saban football to me. Winning football too.

Malzahn cared too much about himself looking smart, rather than winning.

All that fluky bull shite got to his head. He thought that shite was actually his doing.

Mullen does the same shite. He plays senior players simply for the fact that they have been around longer and not necessarily the best player in that position
