re: Auburn fans be honest- should have kept Gus shouldn’t you?

Well, Thai. That top 15 recruiting ranking must sound pretty good right now. I see that AU is 47th in the nation and 12 th in the SEC. looks like Coaches aren’t the only ones who don’t want anything to do with Auburn

COVID year. Gus averaged top 10 classes. He actually recruited better than just about any coach in AU history. (Dye recruited well, but I dunno if even he had consistent top 10's). Chizik had top 10 and even a top 5 class but his tenure was too short to compare.

I think the AD saw the class this year had fallen off a cliff and decided now was the time. I don't blame him, but I do think COVID fricked recruiting big this year. In any case, many wanted Gus gone two years ago, so now is as good as ever.

AU actually has to work for recruits. Bama and UGA just sign them without effort. So not being able to get kids on campus and the fact our bagman wasn't around, fricked us.
