So. Au fans... let's have a discussion.

I'll preface this by saying, I think it's possible Auburn can get 10 wins total this season. I just find it unlikely.

Now. Going into Chizik's 4th season, I think it's fair to say this year is a very good gauge of his talents as a head coach. He won a NC with TT's senior laden team, and lost 5 regular season games on either side of it. If he wins 8 or even 9 this year, will there be any grumbling or feelings that he's not exactly what you're hoping for after his 2nd year triumphs?

I know it's somewhat rare to have a double digit season for Auburn (averaging 1 every 10 yrs in your history), but with the bar raised after 2010, do you expect him to hit that mark more often and more than once in 5 yrs time? Also, how many years of 8 or 9 win seasons, without a 10 win season will it take for him to start losing your support?

This year seems to be a pivotal year for some, who've expressed that you expect 10 wins, but if that doesn't come to fruition, will it be a disappointing year or will you be satisfied with another 5 loss season, so long as they aren't all by double digits like last year? I think Au will improve this year, but probably have the same record, and imo, 9 wins should be the top expectations, including the Bowl game.

I'll hang up and listen now.
