The fans!!!!! Every time a coach arrives they don’t like it and drive them away! It’s not just Gus, either. It’s everyone and they’re the problem!

Their boosters run the show. The boosters have different sects that fight each other. Then when the admin finally stands up for themselves the boosters pull their funding and get the coach fired.

So no. They need the booster's money but don't want the boosters insight. It is not going to get fixed any time soon.

Well now they have the issue of half of the fans passionately campaigning for Cadillac to be the coach, putting him on this crazy pedestal. I like Cadillac, he seems like a good dude, the players love him, but its kind of wild to see the emotional reaction over him considering what Auburn has gone through the past several years.

All fanbases suck. They are in a position of unique difficulty because of where they are located and who their main rivals are.

Auburn is the only west team I don’t despise and I’d like to move on to being in decent terms with them. Last few weeks have sucked but oh well.

The boosters didn’t hire Harsin and they didn’t mess with his job. The administration did a poor job of hiring him then do their investigation and they were not being up front about what the investigation was.

No other schools have ever gone thru coaches!

Perkins Curry Stallings Dubose Franchione Price Shula Saban... lol.

Goff Donnan Richt Bowlcut

And so on...

When you are paid 7 or 8 figures, you damn well better produce results or at least show progress. It's not unique to Auburn, although they have mastered the art.

Neither of us are thrilled with how things turned out. Best of luck going forward

The first smart thing they did was getting rid of a coach that wasn't SEC caliber. The bad thing they did was hire a new coach that also wasn't SEC caliber.

Tuberville 12 Years. Chiz 4 years, but loss the team in year 4, went 0-8 in the SEC. Gus 9 Years, time for a change.

The Potato Farmer loss 10 of 11 games against Power 5, his only win a gift from Mizzou.

But keep up your story, as Perception is greater than reality. Got 12

Soon Gus.....very soon.
Our new coach took one of your boys and turned him in to a 3rd round draft choice. You couldn't develop a cold.

We are about to hire the coach that Nick wanted as his OC and the same coach that caused Nick to change his offensive style.
Additionally, when the DC and coordinators are announced it will show the seriousness of Auburn.

You took Gus and that was a great start.

Now we just need to get the rest right.

You must be new to the SEC....

Bama fans throw bricks through coaches windows
Mark Richt (Georgia) got run off after going 9-3 and almost winning the division
Ed Orgeron was kicked to the curb a year after the title

As insanely bad as we are right now that would probably be a 7-10 point spread. Like at our lowest lows we're within a touchdown or so of UCF.
