I purposefully left that out of the equation because Gus does have some very favorable qualities on his resume, which will be considered when weighing whether to pay him that $26.6MM buyout or ride with him another few yrs until if reduces to a reasonable amount.

From all appearances, he runs a clean program. He doesn't put up with shite from his players and he's easy to work for, i.e. his players and coaches love him. He is a good coach and a high character guy, he's a good man and represents Auburn well. That means a lot at a place like Auburn.

He can get 8 wins again this season and they'll should be satisfied due to that brutal schedule and playing a QB that has little to no on the field experience.
