Yes, but in this case that any team was AU under Chizik.



Yeah, but according to your player, Chizik didn't do anything that any other coach in the couldn't have done.

Backsliding for Alabama and Saban is a 10 win season and a bowl win over the B1G co-champion, followed up by a BCS championship the next year. Backsliding for Auburn under Chizik is an 8 win season with a bowl win over, uh, Virginia (?)...and how many people are predicting Auburn to win the BCSCG this year?



You are arguing under the extremely flawed assumption that the AU and Bama programs were at the same level for both of their titles. So...... Are you trying to we've that bama's program was better for its firs title? Wow, congrats, you are a semi-intelligent being.

What we're saying is that after year 3 the statute of limitations on blaming Tuberville has run out

Agreed, Youth is NOT an excuse... Last year it was a logical excuse... Remember many predicted Auburn to not go to a bowl last year and at best would go 6-6...

Yes because no Auburn fans ever join in flame threads of other programs.

Chizik's first real recruiting class will be Juniors this year. So we should just now be seeing what Chizik's recruits can do. You can only do so much with little talent and I would say 30-10 is pretty good.

Duhhhh...no, what I'm arguing is that the bulk of the talent Saban won the NC with was talent he acquired in his first three years...McClain, Hightower, Barron, Upshaw, Dareus, Cody, Ingram, JJones, BJones, Maze, etc, etc, etc.

I'll take semi-intelligent over no intelligence.

No, his first real recruiting class will be seniors. Or was Chizik only hired a week before NSD?

Except win a title as head coach. Also, link where the player said Chizik didn't do anything? I'll wait.

You mentioned none of this in your previous point. But, according to you guys, Chiz won his title because of his players too.

He had two months to recruit the 2009 class. I wouldn't consider that his first class.

So, if is so easy, why did no other team get Cam? Chiz is a terrible coach because he was the only one good enough to get Cam? That makes sense

So losing one runningback and an OC that apparently was only good because of Cam means we are backsliding? Just ignore the fact that we improved our DC ,return most starters everywhere else, actually have quality depth this year and will be returning most of our players next year.


good points, esp re-defense and returning players for 2013.
Question- what's your thoughts on the AU offense seeing as how most were recruited to run GM's spread offense?

and that class has been pretty solid... lutz, blake, bates, sullen, euguea, mccalleb will all start this season... nick fairley was a top 15 draftee... eltro freeman was a solid contributor.

I think the 2009 class has been good, considering the circumstances... will be the backbone of this team this season, and will help us reach 10 wins.

The person with the most money usually wins. Auburn has more money than State. Are we really that dumb?
