re: Kelly Bryant announcing Tuesday - Auburn expecting to land him

Honest question: how does it feel counting on transfers to keep the QB spot filled at Auburn?

---

Quite frankly it sucks arse. I have said for a while now. Gus cannot develop talent and is a horrible QB coach. I think there are some coaches that develop well who are assistants at other positions, but not at QB. We need an upgrade at OL coach, and I am not sold on Burns at WR coach although he can bring in some talented WR’s. The WR’s may also be a symptom of the offensive scheme and the poor routes they teach.

Gus and assistants were bringing in top talent but with some poor showing in NFL draft I have noticed a slight drop in talent committing. The recruits can see the issues. Again, my opinion. I do not follow recruiting in detail like I used to.

He was great last year

Not really. He was solid at times but benefited greatly from KJ and a very good defense.

He makes too many huge mistakes, he didnt have any pocket presence and turn the ball over way too many times. He was far from great

We all told you that there was NO WAY that Bama would play in the cotton if we were matched up with OU but you would not listen.

Gus the offensive 'guru' can't even recruit his own QBs.

I mean I keep reading this everyday but Nick Saban has had the best recruiting classes in the nation for 10 years.

Can anyone tell me how many of his QB's played in the NFL?

Lol. Poor life choices going to Aub, crazy Gus will regress what skills he already possesses as a passer. He will be infinitely worse. All part of his plan to enter the NFL as a WR I guess.

last i heard it sounded like Auburn locked him down this weekend. 20% msstate 50% auburn 30% Mizzou.

How about 100% Hog

What’s happening to the defense? Do they return a lot?

---

No. Probably losing most of the front 7. (Davidson, Russel, Brown..then all three starting LBs are seniors)
Cow should be back, but could leave, too, if he wants to risk it. They have some decent players to put in there, but none as talented or experienced as what they lose....and depth will be a problem, too.

Bryant would make the team better.

Alone he is not nearly enough to make us contenders for the SEC, but still will help us in the lower tier games like A&M.

It does suck we have to rely on transfer quarterbacks. I am pretty sure Nix comes no matter what, so hopefully either we have a new coach for him or at the least a coordinator who can develop a qb.

Little known fact, that was GusBus who called the fake punt. Kirby was completely over taken by the GusBus spirit.

To this day he can’t figure out how he could have called that play.

Last year, I felt like the Oline would be your biggest concern going into the season. this year your front 7 has to be a huge concern. I realize you have some talented players moving up, but they don't seem to be as talented as the group leaving, and they have far less experience. Your Oline will continue to be a concern as well. The development of Asa Martin will be a big key for Auburn, as well. If he is ready it could really help. (I'm not sold on Joiner, but if I am wrong, he could be a help, too)

ETA
the comment about the front 7 players moving up was not meant to be snarky or demeaning. I mean, Auburn had one of the best front 7's in the country last year, (so it would be difficult for the young players to be as good)....possibly only behind Clemson.
