What a strawman.

Yours was the strawman argument ignoring results on the field and bringing in recruiting after his first season.

I'm not sure you know what a strawman argument is.

His first season he really coached hard. I think it was because there was nothing to lose. We lost plenty of games but for example that OT UGA game was one of the best coached games I’ve ever seen (for example multiple great calls on 4th and short) and then we had another great game against #4 South Carolina, etc. That sentiment stuck around but decreased over the next few years and then it was gone and his butthole was perma-puckered. He was in so over his head and everyone in the world could see it.

Stuff like kicking a field goal on 4th and inches on the goal line on the opening drive, prioritizing Hurd over Kamara until injuries forced his hand, and kicking an extra point instead of a 2 pt. Conversion in some absurd situation in one game (I cannot remember exactly) because the “chart” told him to.

And heaven forbid someone call him out on his bad decisions in a press conference. He’d turn beet red, give some bottled bullshite response about energy vampires, act like everyone else in the world was wrong and the decision was clearly the right one (it wasn’t) and then revoke the press credentials of whoever asked him about it.

Hindsight being what it is, that guy is just a bitch.

Between Dooley and Butch our Oline got pretty much gutted (Dooley didn’t recruit a single lineman in one class…that is absurd) and that’s probably a huge part of the reason why we have remained in the dumps for so much longer than a lot of other teams in similar situations. It takes years and years to build the trenches and in the SEC it’s more important than anywhere

Derek Doofus was much worse than Butch Jones.

They both were awful but In different ways

It’s So fortunate we got both

If Venables cut off his hands and sent gamma rays into his brain to give himself a brain tumor that made him incapable of transmitting any information to the rest of his body.... he would still be competing for #2

After one year at Bama the fans were putting 100k in the seats for ADay and buying property in Tuscaloosa. At Auburn, Harsin was treated like he stole Pat dye’s pickup truck. Hardly the same feelings.

covering up rape

You got most of that right. But what rape happened that he covered up. If my memory is correct AJ Johnson was accused of rape but was acquitted of the charges by a jury. Johnson now plays in the NFL. The girlfriend of Bowls was cheating on him with Johnson’s and once she was caught she tried to accuse Johnson of rape. Once the evidence come out it was found that he did not indeed rape her that he was telling the truth about it being consensual.

As great if a player Dobbs was let’s not forget his support cast he had around him. He had the Berry Twins, Juan Jennings, Hurd, Kamara, Trey Smith, Derek Barnett, Josh Malone, Cam Sutton, Pig Howard, Todd Kelly jr, and Dillion Bates just to name a few. There is no reason that team shouldn’t have been in Atlanta. It has been the most talented team we have had since Fulmer was fired and Butch didn’t know what to do with it.

No GusShortBus at Auburn? List is shite. Gus has set Auburn’s program back years to rebuild.
