This season reminds me a lot of 2003


How so? This is nothing like 2003. We didn't lose a wizard play calling OC the year before and have a patchwork OC lineup. In 2003, we opened with a loss to the eventual co-national champs and lost a hangover game the following week against a scrappy GT team on the road. The other losses were at co-national champ LSU, at home to Eli Manning and on the road in athens (i guess that is a simlarity).

The 03 team would never have lost to this year's UT or MSU, and probably not LSU either.

The 03 team actually beat a top ten Tennessee team at home and a top ten Arkansas team on the road.

But the similarities are there. That was a massively disappointing season and Tubs may have been justifiably fired after it. Biggest difference though is that the 2003 team had a slew of talented guys that were coming back with lots of experience. The 2018 Auburn team is already struggling with talent and will lose a lot of experience in key areas next year.
