Y’all are missing my point. I’m all about paying someone 7mill if they’re worth it. But not someone you were wanting to fire 6 games ago.



This shite is just so lazy.

The fans wanted Gus gone because he blew the LSU game. This happens to every single team after their coach blows a big game. It happens to Alabama even when Saban didn't really do anything wrong (admittedly only by a few emotional morons).

But nonetheless, when the coach is held out for blame for a loss, fans don't go "oh but he's soooo good most of the time" - they act like fans. Auburn fans are fickle, and they're especially fickle when their team is up and down, which is always. So are any other SEC fans.

Gus probably isn't worth 7m in a vacuum, but is he worth 7m in a year where he wins 10/11 games, Dan Mullen gets 6.1m and there are a shite ton of teams looking for a coach? Yeah, he probably is.

ok you just answered your own question. the answer is no

other teams looking for a coach has nothing to do with the value of gus himself. auburn is clearly overpaying and overreacting. i think gus is a good coach. not $7mil though. no freakin way
