re: 2010 Auburn vs Arkansas touchdown

Sooooooo 76 wins in 9 years? 8.4 win average.

Sooooooo, 1 game better than Nutt ( on average)

So at what point will hog fans realize we are an 8 win team on average and quit acting like we should be winning 10 a year?

Let's not even pretend that's the issue. Most fans agree we're an 8/9 win program on average. We should rarely miss a bowl, and with a team loaded with seniors and the right talent, we should make an SECCG run maybe every five years or so - sometimes actually making it, We've been to Atlanta more times than any non-Big 6.

The 2006 and 2007 teams were actually special. Nutt ruined our rare chance for hardware because he got threatened, insecure, and played the good 'ol boy politics to his short term favor. Also, we didn't fire Nutt in his prime. After his 4–8 year in 2010 and 2–10 in 2011, we saw what last decade had in store for a coach of his caliber.

We're not some sleeping giant, but we're capable of actually competing when the conditions are right. And we should at least be competitive when we're not winning against teams that are only going to win 8 games that year.

Bert had an eight win ceiling, not an eight win average. I've heard a rumor that Chad once saw a football in person, but it was unconfirmed. We deserved better than Nutt the way LSU deserved better than Miles, or Georgia deserved better than Richt: They technically upheld the standard, but chinks in the armor were beginning to show, stagnation was apparent, and a downfall was likely imminent.

When you talk about a coach being fired or ran off unduly, you should be talking about Holtz or Hatfield. Not fricking Nutt.
