This roster epitomizes the danger of relying so heavily on the transfer portal. Not every year is the transfer portal going to supply enough of the right players to meet your immediate needs.

Barring a giant sinkhole, this was the best possible outcome for this game, as bama getting blown out was the only way either one could get knocked out of the playoffs.

…that’s a homerun hire for them.

Meanwhile, Penn State, who was the first high-profile firing so they could get a head start on the coaching carousel, is still without a coach, and just got turned down by BYU’s coach.

Good! If what’s been said about him over the last 24 hours is true, then he contributed to the problems here.

What’s been said about him?

A “4th quarter culture.”

The Iron Bowl was absolutely ours for the taking. We had those bastards on the ropes. We had all the momentum, finally we had the depth to match them, they were banged up. And we lost solely because we lack a 4th quarter culture.

And it’s not just our offense, it’s defense too. We have talked ad nauseam about how many times the offense has had the ball with a chance to tie/take the lead late in games and couldn’t get it done, but what about all the times the defense has had a chance to finish off a game with just one stop? No way in hell should bama have been able to stumble down the field for 8 minutes and score.

Then it was our offense’s turn, we drive down the field, get the ball in our best player’s hands near the red zone, he fumbles when all he needs to do is fall out of bounds, game over.

But our 4th quarter failures have been team failures, not just offense. And it’s due to completely lacking that 4th quarter culture.

That’s one of those things that’s impossible to define but you all know what I’m talking about.

Sounds like he overplayed his hand, and now he’s somewhere he isn’t wanted.

None of y’all’s happiness depends on the happiness of an Ole Miss fan.

Every coach they would have pursued is off the table before their job even officially opens. Where do they turn?

My wife is an Ole Miss alum so I have a bit of a vested interest in that my wife’s happiness = my happiness.

Freeze knew the SEC and was an offensive genius at Ole Miss.

In a completely different era.

Being an Auburn fan is being constantly pissed and not even knowing who to be pissed at. Cohen is the easy target here, but do we really know it’s him hamstringing coaching candidates and not the PTB hamstringing Cohen?

So firing Cohen would accomplish nothing but instant gratification to a pissed off fanbase, and a false sense of hope that things will ever change.

So we can back away from the ledge for the moment?

I’m just worried about how salvageable the relationship is now if he does come.
