re: Gene vs Gus Coaching record while at Auburn

Gene wasn't canned for just the overall record. He lost the entire team, fans and administration in 2012. Never been more embarrassed to watch a team play. If he'd pulled a Gus and found 7 wins that year he'd been given another year. Though Gus has struggled with Auburn's main rivals, other than a blow out in BR he hasn't been beaten like Chiz was in 2011 either. So you have 2012 and then terrible performances in 2011 against main rivals. Add the lack of any fight in the team in 2012, a change had to be made. I suspect if it hadn't of been made Auburn would be without an SEC title and BCS title game birth and in much worse shape going into 2017 than we currently are...so in the long run whether Gus is the answer or not things are better at Auburn because we went with Gus.
