I want the school I graduated from to be successful, I want to storm the field and win championships. I want nothing but good things for the program. 10 years ago we had an undefeated season and a national title, 7 years ago we were within 13 seconds of winning another national title. In the last 50 years we have had three heisman trophy winners, Bo Jackson, Pat Sullivan and Cam Newton. Auburn is not a slouch of a school , it is not a place where 5 loss seasons every year are acceptable. When Gus was still around, I wanted him gone in 2018 because I knew that 5 loss seasons were his ceiling. At the time there were a number of people who supported Malzahn and wanted him to stay on as the head coach and the reason? They said who are we going to go out and get who would be better? I gawked at that assumption at the time but now it's starting to make sense. Also some of the Gus supporters seemed content with mediocrity and blamed it on Saban which is a really poor excuse in my book.



We fired gus because, like I said 5 loss seasons every year were not acceptable. So I thought the logical solution would be to hire a coach who could take us farther than Gus could take us. There have been quite a few stories out in the news lately about the search, that we got turned down by Billy Napier, Bill Clark and that Hugh Freeze was not interested. Our PTB was not interested in finding a coach to help us compete at a championship level, they want a coach that is a yes man.



So in comes Bryan Harsin, a man who has no p5 head coaching experience, coming from the mountain west. I can think of numerous other coordinators out there who are in p5 programs and who would be better options. Auburn paid Gus Malzahn 21 million dollars to leave only to hire the guy from Boise State? Is that seriously the best we could do? The SEC and mountain west are very different situations. How are we going to recruit with this guy? Every other coach in the SEC west made a name of themselves. I legitimately did not know who Bryan Harsin was until today. If he comes in and starts winning football games and competing at a high level, you can mark this post and tell me I was wrong but I have no reason to believe that Harsin is any better than Gus Malzahn. Do you think Malzahn would succeed at Boise State? Yes he would. To me it seems like the 1st 2nd and 3rd options were not interested so they decided to settle for him. The only other coach in the SEC west that had no name recognition to me is Sam Pittman, I had no idea who he was.





So, I may be wrong but I think we found ourselves another Malzahn and as an alumni who loves Auburn and know our fanbase is hungry for a championship, this is just incredibly frustrating. I thought we had some catching up to do after what Fisher, Orgeron and Smart are doing at their programs.

Its a good thing im going to grad school at another university so I can root for their program instead, Auburn has become toxic

Imagine if your 3 biggest rivals LSU, Alabama, Georgia have been in the playoffs and won playoff games and you can’t even win a bowl game against a power 5 ranked opponent? It’s pathetic

Oklahoma's defense basically surrendered to the fact that Burrow was going to light them up. Watched an Xs and Os video on youtube where it broke down LSUs offense and Oklahoma was basically playing soft coverage all day and allowing easy touchdowns, it was almost like they didn't even watch film and prepare and their DBs were badly undersized compared to LSUs receivers. I have been watching LSU all year and they have been doing this to pretty much everybody except Auburn strangely enough. If Auburn had a competent coach on offense, they would have probably beaten LSU but this is the closest anyone has got. Georgia's defense who is just as talented as Auburns still gave up 37 points. They have been doing this to pretty much everyone and no defensive coordinator in all of college football has come up with a gameplan to stop or even slow Burrow and this offense. Burrow has passed for 55 TD passes this year and is on pace to break Colt McCoy's completion percentage record and he makes it look so easy. I would say the best bet to beat LSU is to go toe to toe with them on offense but if LSU puts up the same numbers theyve been putting up all year, the offense will have to score nearly everytime they have the ball. Oklahoma and Georgia got the ball first and did absolutely nothing and LSU scored when they punted away to them and it was basically over after that since by the time Oklahoma and Georgia got it going on offense, they were already down 21 points and LSU would not relent at all. The defense was able to slow down Ohio state in the second half but Justin Fields holds the ball much much longer than Joe Burrow does, he is a special player. Burrow always finds an open man when someone is open, he does not turn the ball over and is masterful at extending a play and turning a loss or a sack into a big gain or a touchdown. It is a good thing that CVB has 2 weeks to prepare because he will need to come up with a game plan that no other DC in football has been able to do all year. I wish Clemson's defensive line from last year was playing in this game because that would be fun to watch.

LSU is going to get theirs, the question is going to be is Clemsons offense good enough to keep pace with LSU? Georgia and Oklahoma got the ball first and couldn’t do anything, they punted it away and LSU scored on the next drive and it was pretty much over after that. Clemson can’t be playing catch-up vs this LSU offense. I would say LSU could lose in a shootout but by the time the other team gets their offense going, they are already down by 21 points and LSUs offense doesn’t let up.

You mean the guy who stepped out of bounds and then made a catch and the refs didn’t wave it off?

Deshaun Watson and the 2018 D line aren’t walking through that tunnel in 2 weeks.

LSU is going to spank Clemson so hard that Dabo is going to want to tender his resignation and accept the Alabama job the next day. Y’all in for a rude awakening.

I would say that LSU could lose in a shootout but most of the time, LSUs opponents find themselves down 21 points before their offense starts clicking and it’s too late
