2011 Auburn went 8-5 (4-4 SEC). The five losses were:
1. 10-4 ACC Champion Clemson
2. 11-2 Arkansas (finished #5 in AP Poll; only losses to #1 Alabama and #2 LSU)
3. 13-1 SEC Champion LSU
4. 10-4 SEC East Champion Georgia
5. 12-1 National Champion Alabama
Eaux's work is in a league of its own.

I agree. Chizik is a good man too

It’s true.

And he was still fired?

Fired in 2012 after losing to A&M like 63-21

I felt it too

Yeah among others. 7 others to be specific

I was sitting in a box with my dad for the '12 Iron Bowl. Everyone else was socializing and drinking like it was some kind of soiree. Pop and I sat on the very front seats watching with rapt attention while the others looked on in disdain.
Should have been a lot worse than what it was.

Fired in 2012
#1 Alabama
#5t UGa
#5t TAMU
#11 Clemson
#14 LSU
#23 Vandy
NR MSU (8-5)
NR Ole Miss (7-6)
NR Arky (4-8)
Although many of the higher-ranked games were blowouts, the only really embarrassing loss was to John Ell and the Pigs.
Of course having four scholarshipped players busted for armed robbery and another two former players killed and a current player injured by a gunman at an off-campus party prior to the season didn't exactly help his cause.

We don't have the two years after data point for Eaux yet so can't really make that comparison yet. But right now the comparison is unfair to Chizik and doesn't properly indicate the disaster that Eaux is responsible for.

And that doesn't include how shitty we looked during our wins vs non power 5 conferences

Get your shots in now boys. I’m good with it.

Auburn’s problems in 2012 were so bad that game day traffic problems were non existent later in the season.

Like Orgeron at Ole Miss, Chizik failed to win a conference game his last season.

That was an unlucky year for Arkansas. One of their best teams ever and it just happened to be in a year when Alabama and LSU had some of their best teams ever.

That is pretty much the standard look all dads have in that situation.
Judge hard and don't stop judging.

He completely lost the team. He's a really good and caring man so I still don't understand how he lost them, but he did.
