re: Why does everyone here seem to hate the idea of gus as our coach?

It took 4 ots and his team to have a terrible case of 1st half drops for bert to get his only win against gus which gus followed up with a 53 point arse whipping duck yes I'm serious

Evaluating a coach's h2h record against another coach is a horrible metric to consider, but I agree that he is better than Bert. However, that is like being the nicest guy in prison. Every coach in the conference except Freeze and maybe Orgeron is better than Bert. I wouldn't want Gus when the inevitable happens and Bert is gone. His offense is borderline unstoppable when he has someone like Cam Newton, Darren McFadden, or Nick Marshall running it, but unfortunately for him those guys don't come around often and he hasn't yet developed a QB to run that offense. When he doesn't have that, his offense has been a big case of "wtf" against opponents that aren't as bad as the 2016 Arkansas Razorbacks. He has been pretty mediocre at Auburn outside of that one season, and Auburn has greater resources to succeed in college football than Arkansas does. He went 8-5 this year against a bad division with a fricking phenomenal defense. The "offensive guru" scored 7 points against Georgia and lost to Jim Chaney's equally incompetent offense because Gus' own offense surrendered more points than Georgia scored.
