I hope the Cow College has to call ManPower to find backups. They do pay the insurance you know.

Even Saban thinks Bama has a shitty fanbase.

An upperclassmen former 5* who just got passed over by 2 true freshmen. With the new redshift and transfer rules, I don't blame him. The other one is his brother.

Apparently he was passed over by Seth Williams, which I don’t agree with.

I’m a huge NCM fan.

The big loss is NCM, but as have others explained, it's not a huge loss based on production on the field. When true freshmen are able to get better separation than you, you're going to get less targets. Wish he would stay for depth and leadership purposes, but he sees opportunities elsewhere and he's taking his half-bro with him

Older kid, got passed by true freshman, he never gets open.

Auburn is still loaded at WR.

A couple of my friends that are Auburn fans are not wild about Kodi Burns as wide receivers coach.

Not many are. Great guy, but limited as a WR coach.

I wish NCM the very best wherever he winds up.

He deserves much better than a shitty, clueless moron like Gus Malzahn.

Edit: And the whole “he can’t get open” narrative being pushed by many in our fan base is also retarded. It is common knowledge that Gus’s playbook consists largely of passing plays with predetermined targets, most of which NCM wasn’t the “predetermined target” largely because of a combo of seniority (Slayton) and favoritism (Hastings/Stove).

NCM got a raw deal here but I would bet any AU Gus defender here large sums of money that he will have a longer, more successful NFL career than ANY of Hastings, Slayton, Davis, Williams, Stove, etc.

People forget Gus was a Dead man walking last season. Georgia was off and hurts played the iron bowl and he got a new contract.

I asked then, wtf are u thinking? He can't sustain anything good.

The TE, Harris likes to be a really good blocker even though has wasn’t utilized as a receiver.

If I were a TE recruit, I’d pass on an AU offer. Malzhan/ Lindsey don’t seem to use them, at least not enough to get them to the NFL level, and the NFL loves TE’s.

I'll take it. $100

I hate bashing kids, but the proof is in the numbers. People blaming coaches for players performance is weak sauce. He struggles to get separation. The passing game isn't Gus' it belongs to Chip. Name a single player that left Auburn and went on to show how under used they were while Gus was head coach. I'll hang up and listen.

Yeah I later learned he is not getting playing time. Players leaving because of playing time is a fact for everybody now. Does not equal a sinking ship.
