In the past an SECC would endear a coach to his fan base the rest of his tenure. It wouldn’t disappear within 5 years. Championships meant something, now they are a burden to your chances of playing for a NC ( ask Wisc, AU).


It seems like they still do in Auburn. Gus won one SEC Championship and it has endeared him to the fanbase to the tune of a contract that is more or less 75% guaranteed. Sounds like a winning philosophy.

Don't worry. To hear the UGA fans talk, if Kirby beats Auburn, win another playoff game, and the East again they will be call him the GOAT.

No, Gus is endeared because he lead Cam to a National Championship and because other fans hate him because of that. That fact that he got back to the Championship Game so quickly was icing on the cake. I always said what Gus has done at Auburn should make him safe for a while, but this is a new era of patience. I remember when TT took AU to the SECCG in 2000, it was a big deal just being there. Now it is another game that can trip you up in the NC picture.

All Guz has to do is beat Alabama every 3 or 4 years. They will keep him forever.


That is what the sign says ………… Beat Bama
