NIL is killing the sport I love the most.
That and judges that put themselves higher than the sport and tells schools what the rules are going to be.

But as for this situation, if Golesh was so crooked that he wouldn't punish Womack, to let him play, then there is no way he would punish Atkins.

Transitive property means nothing in CFB.
The entire preseason polls do this and 90% is based on last year and not this.

But the fanbase gave him brownie points for loosing the only game they will play this year. Let him loose another or postseason and he will be on the hotseat with Russell again and it will all be for notta.

The refs with one no call gave him a free pass on the season with them.

They can't bench him just because his name.

Being honest & my guess many would agree that in good spirit, it’s almost as much fun to watch other teams lose a conference game than your team winning
Good Times for SEC CFB??
Part of football at any level is watching your team and rivals lose. Almost as much to watch teams above you lose to allow your team to move up. Even your conference rivals win in certain games (usually to help your team but just the same).

If you don't watch the sport as a whole then you will be very limited in number of games to watch and really care about.

This is the whole reason he retired. He knew he had no advantage if everyone could pay too.

So does every other OL. Get a great QB, RB, and coach who knows offense and see what happens.
You aren't going to do alot with bad OLine play. They can make them all look bad too.

It's an all around issue and it just makes it all worse. We don't have years of developed OLine with NIL swapping them from system to system and not playing together 2 years in a row.

BB did make bad throws that were on him also and the HC coached them and the RBs are deciding where to run that's open too.

OL is important but QB and coach are always more important and critical.
Turnovers were unforced - way more damage than an OL could do.
BB definitely made some bad throws and that's on him but there was more times the pocket just gave in or didn't open the holes to run too. It's on both sides.

OMG it’s the OL. Ok, every team says that. It’s the easy low football IQ excuse. Who put this team together?
If you see the OLine missing assignments and getting knocked back into the QB then it is an issue. The QB and HC are the quick easy blames without looking to see what everyone in the play was seeing and doing.

As for who put this team together then you have to know who all has a say in who we buy. The HC had a short amount of time to recruit than in place coaches.

We spent the money. We are top 20 NIL. No excuse. It further points to the ineptness of the AD and coach.
We need better talent searchers for the money but who knows who has real say at Auburn.

If this guy thinks BB was good enough to compete in the SEC, that’s all I need to know.
Its not like we have someone better. We have obvious OLine issues and a shell of a WR Corp. We didn't have alot of QBs begging to come that were good. He may have thought BB would transition well with him.

I can agree that the talent isn’t there, but we are showing zero improvement.
We have jumped in opponent talent on the season too. I'm not defending him but am waiting to see before clearly saying it's his coaching.

And what did we buy with NIL?
A bunch of players that wouldn't be 2nd string anywhere in the sec.

I say we fire Cohen and Cohen. I don't see anything in Golesh that makes me want him any longer.
Its just as much if not more a talent problem. We have just as many problems on Defense. They are arm tackling in the 1st quarter and 3 missing tackles before someone makes a play.

Sumrall is going to kill it at Florida. Been saying it since the hire.
I'm not saying one way or the other but it's still too early in the season for anyone to be labeled as good. Everything is all off preseason polls that are always way off.

UF's while perception is based off beating OM. OM is off beat LSU. LSU is off A&M and preseason.

So it's too early to be deeming anyone good or a successful long term hire. There are plenty of HCs that looked good their first season and not later and even more teams that looked good til they played more teams and the quality ones became clear.

No, those are famous words from barner history.
Yet it's the first thing that comes to mind when anyone in the nation thinks of a Bama fan. It's no coincidence the trashy backwoods fans in movies always are dressed in red.
They are just trying to make it a straight Big 12 vs SEC playoff and no one else considered. It's all about the money and teams ESPN owns.

Still not as nuts as the bipolar team up the road that turns on their coach by the quarter. Booing him in the first half against ECU to he's great to back booing against FSU.

The powers that be are getting older and more senile by the day. They can't even tell their decisions are leading to bad results anymore.
