re: Auburn, would you really be ok if Gus left for Arkansas?

I'm apathetic to it.

In 2017 it was a little different simply because the narrative then would have been messier (successful Auburn coach leaving for smaller program).

At this point I don't think anyone would view it as anything other than Gus activating an ejection seat in favor of a more forgiving job. I think I'd be equal parts excited about the unknown and concerned that we'd given up a safe coach in Gus.

Reality is that I don't think fan feelings should matter much. If Arkansas flirts with Gus and Gus returns the affection, what are we going to do? We don't like him enough to fight for him. If Gus intends to stay at Auburn, he should have enough awareness to realize he's not in a position to negotiate too hard. I realize he has to guard his own interests - but he's got a lot of security already via the buyout.
