re: Gene Chizik and Ed Orgeron Comparisons

The year after winning the NC, Auburn lost 5 games to Clemson, Arkansas, LSU, UGA and Alabama by a combined score of 208-69. That’s a margin of 139 points in losses That include 3 of Auburn’s biggest rivals. The next year Auburn went 3-9 (0-8 in the SEC) and lost to your 2 biggest rivals by a combined score of 87-0. The worst LSU season (1992) in our history we lost 9 games by a combined 119 points.

Other than at QB and LB and safety, we may be better at every other position in 2020 and 2021. There is no way in hell we fall off a cliff like Auburn did post-Newton.
