Props to Jeremia Cobb. I was out on him and he ran strong tonight, like a champ!!!
Agreed, best game of the year for him by far. Best he's looked since last year.

Something was different today
Was Golesh calling plays?
The play calling was tremendously better and more balanced today, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was much more hands on. Our run/pass balance on first down in particular was much more what it needs to be.
WDE! Fitting that Alex got the game winner after what he's went through.

The old bend and snap D for a 90 fricking yard TD drive to give up the lead
Which is why Golesh seriously considered going for it on 4th and 2. And I wouldn't have been mad about it.
I don't think any of us in this thread had any confidence in Durkin stopping Georgia that drive.

Same, poor play call.

Both
Definitely both. Not liking the more conservative play calling on the last two drives. We can't go back to predictably running all the time on 1st and 2nd. We have to keep Georgia off balance.

This was more like the offensive play calling I was expecting this season. Great first half, hopefully we keep it going.
Amazing catch. Brown and the play calling have been tremendously better today.

Plenty of time to frick something up but we look way more multiple.
Yeah, regardless of how that drive ended, our offense looks much better this week. Variety of play calling is tremendously better, and we are actually attacking the defense rather than being repetitive.
Too bad Durkin looks like he was asleep the last two weeks.

Such a pretty pass by Brown, shame. Nice to see us taking shots and having play calling variety.

This is the issue. Proof of concept sucks, do getting the talent will be impossible.

No kidding. Steven Erickson finished the entire Malazan book of the fallen series in 12 years, and that was 10 books that averaged 1000 pages each and were super complicated stories. And that series finished with an excellent final book that wrapped things up nicely.
Martin has absolutely zero excuses.

Didn’t the OC reunite with Nix at Oregon and was very successful.
I mean, that was Dillngham, and he was only here one year in 2019 under Gus (and we had the 28th best scoring offense in the country that year). That was not only Nix's true freshman year, we all know that Gus was the real OC for all his teams. Dillngham went to FSU after one year to be a real OC until he joined Oregon for a year and then became head coach at ASU.
And the offenses at Iowa State when Gordon was there went 39th, 32nd, and 43rd in the country in scoring, they weren't exactly blowing the doors off even with Purdy. Obviously that's much better than the incompetence we are seeing now though.
quote:
Surprised it hasn't happened more, tbh.
It's still early yet. But yeah, given our "proof of concept" continues to be that our coaches don't look like they know what the hell they are doing, it's surprising we haven't lost more.
quote:
just don't see any difference between Golesh and Freeze
So far I agree 100%, and for me it's mainly due to play calling. It's basically late stage Gus 2.0, and it's making me be further and further out on Golesh as the season goes along. Oline and QB are by far our biggest issues to me, but play calling is right behind.
If he doesn't show major improvement next year we need to cut bait. Next year will probably be one of the easier SEC slates we will have for a while, so if he can't get it done next year then he won't ever.

Those 3 OL would be starting for Auburn, and you’d be talking about what a great hire Drago was right now.
No doubt. Kentucky spends way less than us on NIL overall based on the numbers I've seen, but they certainly seem to have spent it in much smarter fashion. It all starts with the lines, and we did a shite job on that.

Elite upstart OC/DC from a top program is still the highest-upside HC-hire demographic
Yep, this is where most of the top coaches over the last couple decades have come from. Hence I was a fan of going after Stein.
And agreed on our decision makers being too chicken shite to take chance on them, unless it's someone like Gus they already were good ole boys with. Hence we get 8 win head coaches from non p4 conferences, and results that make sense based on that.

UCLA is killing it too.
Chesney was my pick if we went with a defensive head coach, he's done an impressive job turning them around quickly.
Stein was who I liked if we went offensive guy, just love the Oregon balanced type offense. His attitude and moxy I also like.
I was fine with Golesh and Sumrall, I just didn't think they had as much pure upside if things went right, but higher floors.
As 94 said, it's kinda prisoner of the moment stuff, but Stein has been damn impressive so far.

Yeah, I think Stein would have been a better hire for us. I like his moxy and their play calling.
re: Maybe LSU could be the next win?
Posted by auyushu on 10/10/26 at 7:56 pm to GoCrazyAuburn
LSU and Miss St I think are our only realistic shots at getting a 6th win. We aren't beat Georgia or Bama on the road, and Chambliss is going to rip our secondary to shreds.
But Stein has completely turned Kentucky around and has a decent o-line. They have looked good this year.
