Third - you are way overstating Auburn's supposed lack of talent. Auburn consistently has top 10 talent in college football. While that talent might not translate has much to the NFL game (partly because of the Gus's system by the way), for the college game Auburn consistently is one of the most talented teams in the country. There is no need for you to denigrate your own team's players' talent to try and prop up Gus or disparage Saban.

This is a point that I've tried to drive home for years. Auburn/Gus has recruited better than any other time in their history. But damned if Gus doesn't find a way land his team outside the top 10 rankings more times than not. He's not allowing that talent to show their full potential, or else he's done a shitty job of managing his roster. The talent is there, the fan support is there, the facilities are there.
