No it just means that AU doesn't gauge success by just beating Bama. All three coaches were fired.



Just not the next year after beating Alabama.....

it was the next year after losing to Alabama

No it's my fault. I should just walk away when I get fired up so I don't make an arse of myself

Truth is, I know we are in for a rebuild. 6-6 is definitely not out of the question next year. I'd like to think we find a way to win 7-8.

Harsin isn't a big name or a splash hire, but none of our coaches have been and they've all found at least some success. He is a better coach, albeit at a smaller program in another part of the country than pretty much all of our previous head coaches. I do like the hire and think he's a solid coach who will build it the right way. I think very highly of his staff as well...so far.

Despite what some of our fans may believe, we are not Alabama, nor should we aspire to. Historically we are a top-15 program who has a great season time to time with a lot of average ones. He needs to try and get us closer to UGA and LSU rather than chasing Alabama.

9-10 wins/year should be in our wheelhouse considering our recruiting footprint and resources.

I hear they are going having a joint Conference this year with Scientology and the Bama Cult. You can exchange notes and check out each others cool uniforms.

Would annihilate both for 25-28 seconds. Glorious for me, not so much for them.

That's not really them, is it?

I remember reading they were actually in school at UAB at the time.

Great news for AU fans. Harsin has never lost a game after winning a national championship.

Since 1958, Bryant's first season in Tuscaloosa, only one Alabama coach won their last Iron Bowl - Gene Stallings.

Mike Shula lost his last IB.
Mike Price ( )
Franchione lost his last IB.
DuBose lost his last IB.
Curry lost his last IB.
Perkins lost his last IB.
Bryant lost his last IB.

Beating Auburn is just as important to Alabama as beating Alabama is to Auburn. And that is what makes the rivalry so great.

Then why did Tubby, Chizik, and The Gus Bus all get fired right after they suffered humiliating losses to ALABAMA?



They got fired at end of lackluster-to-horrible seasons. Bama just happens to be the last game. With logic as simple as yours every decision to fire or not fire an Auburn coach would be automatically based off of the Bama game.

Just a reminder that Auburn is completely idiotic for letting go of Gus

This take is stale.

Gus's record:
2-5 in Bowl games
1-4 in Bowl games vs. P5 teams
0-2 in NY6 bowls
0-1 in BCS CG
No CFP appearances
2-5 vs. Alabama
1-7 vs. Georgia
3-4 vs. LSU
No wins away from JH Stadium vs. any of those teams.

The mismanagement of the QB position and lack of recruiting on the OL.
Inability to let his OCs actually OC.
Hiring Chad Morris.

Change up the record vs. Alabama/Georgia/LSU for any other team's three biggest rivals and tell me that coach should keep their job.
