What if Auburn loses to Oregon, Florida and Georgia in the regular season, and then loses to Georgia or Fla (or whoever wins the East) again in the SEC champ game and then loses the bowl game?

That would mean wins over every team in the SEC West.

I still think it would be time to let him go, right? Look at what LSU did with Les Miles. Look at UGA and Richt. Would the couple of great wins really outweigh the pain of five losses, in any fashion? If the offense looks out of sync, as hard as it has in the past, AND they lose some weird ones...this is a good debate, I don't know for sure; obviously.

So basically 9-5 with wins over Bama and LSU?

9 wins makes it harder, and two wins over rivals would as well. Still, it would be tough to swallow ending the year with 2 losses and then keeping him. Losing twice to UGA would be another mark if that happened. Of course it all depends how it goes down. If we lost a close SECCG, went to a good bowl and lost a competitive game to a good opponent, people would probably be relatively pacified.

Regardless, I can't see them coughing up the money required if we win the west, get 9 wins and beat Alabama.

That would mean Alabama would have to have two SEC losses. Who would the second loss be to, State?

It just seems extremely unlikely.

It does seem that should Auburn have wins against Bama and UGA, with possible regular season losses to LSU, Florida, A&M and Oregon, and a loss in a bowl game, bringing their final record to 8-5, they would be hard-pressed to let Gus go - especially considering the buyout.
