He finds a way to win the game he has to win to keep his job. Mostly at our expense.

I'll give the man credit for a couple of things. He is a master at stretching the rules to his advantage. You do it til they call it. The Pop pass the way he ran it to beat Alabama was illegal as hell but they wouldn't call it, so you run it til they do.

You hold receivers downfield til they call it, and most of the time they don't. That's good coaching in my book.

He stole that game yesterday, conning those officials into giving him that free timeout so he could get that FG at the end of the half. That second was meaningless, because there was no way they would have been able to run his team onto the field once the chains were set and get the kick off, but he conned them into it. The SEC Office knows it, but they had to save face.

But as sneaky as he is, he'll frick up enough to keep you from ever getting where you really want to go. He's going to be a 2 or 3 loss coach at best but he'll win enough to keep his job.

Equivalent to Saban so I’d say not bad

But do you, “ FEEL” the game was “UNFAIR”?

These are evidently the words uttered by the great one himself, Lord Saban.

Yep. Bama lost a chance at a playoff berth where they had no chance at winning it all, but isn't Auburn the real loser here? They're stuck with Gus.

There's way too much to cover here but I really am curious about one thing, what was "illegal as hell" about the pop pass? The part where our 3-star 5'6" 173 lb RB decapitated your 5-star 210 lb Safety? Or do you mean the execution of the pass itself? If so, how?

Maybe, maybe not , him and Cam were the driving force behind 10, got AU to title game in 13 and within one game in 17, Gus is flawed no doubt but keeps AU in contention, i have no problem replacing him if the right opportunity is there but your butthurt statement doesnt match up with his history.

I say this as someone who loves Alabama and hates Auburn, but they also just flat out looked like the better team.

Nobody believes me but I think beating Alabama this year was the worst thing that could happen to auburn. Now they’re stuck with a retarded coach who doesn’t know how to call pass plays. They’ll see what I mean one year from now.

He didn't stretch anything. Alabama is too stupid to grasp the rules

You guys should never complain about people stretching the rules. The SEC officiating crew has been helping you guys for years. Even in the game last night when Auburn had to punt and their Drive failed, your defensive back grabbed the receiver on the inside of the front part of his pads and no pass interference was called.
