or can he get 1 more year to develop his QB even with 4 losses (5 if the Rebs or Hawgs sneak up on them)

I could see him in trouble if we are not competitive in our remaining 3 big games, if we lost respectably he'll prob get a pass

I think 5 losses will be a tough pill. If he loses the big 4 games this year, it is hard to fault him for losing to 4 top 10 teams and he will survive.

He has to win all the others to stay alive though. Tennessee sat bad for him from last year and he can't have that shithead moment again.

He better not base his future employment status on beating LSU because he’s not beating LSU. There is no way in hell that Auburn wins in Death Valley with a freshman Quarterback.

First Gus must beat the FLAGSHIP!

To board the Flagship without his best running back, Gus will need the

NIGHCAT!

“Nigh takes the snap, spins left, fakes to Gatewood, Nix orbit motion, Nigh fakes to Bo, Nigh looks for Schwartz on a bubble, pump fakes, Nigh scrambles left. Airs it our for Williams. Seth’s got it for a 3 yard gain.

Gus is never going to do well enough to get off the hot seat, but never bad enough to get fired.

Auburn’s basically stuck in no man’s land with him.

His buyout is down to $35m if im reading his contract right, and half would be payable immediately with the other half paid out in four annual installments of 4.375m.

It's alot, but doable for Auburn at this point, so I think 8-4 gets him canned, especially if some other hotshit coach is on the market.

Eta- as another said, if those four losses are respectable and the recruiting class is shaping up top ten, he could survive it.

It would be a whole lot more affordable to wait another year to fire him.

I think if he loses the big 3 in pretty bad fashion, then it'll be similar to last year where there are some talks/moves behind the scenes but nothing with any real steam, so he starts 2020 truly on the hot seat needing a minimum of 9 wins IMO.

Next year is probably when it gets very serious for Gus in that scenario. If he can go 9-3 this year and win a bowl game that'll likely earn him one more pass for 8-5 type bullshite.

I hope so! His dumbass is still playing the wrong quarterback. Joey Gatewood, a potential Cam Newton, fits his offense perfectly. I said potential!

He has one loss with one of the toughest SOS in the nation with a freshman QB. I doubt he is on the hot seat outside of message board fans.

Gus would have to lose 5 and to do that, he'd have to lose to either Arky or Ole Miss AND all 3 of Bama, UGA and LSU. That is a possibility, but not likely. Losing to the big 3 left on the schedule would suck...but the true freshman QB buys him some grace. No way Gus is fired for losing those 3+UF.
