You won’t find an Auburn fan that supported his hire in the first place.

I think they could pull him. He is woefully under appreciated at tOSU.

But no one with a brain truly believes this nonsense.

Seriously. It’s almost as if these guys missed the one pass attempt Ti’a took vs UGA. He literally skipped the ball to a RB like 4 yards away.

I get that Brown isn’t what we expected but FFS if Ti’a is our starter in 2027 and doesn’t make a massive improvement we will be calling for the backup this time next year as well. OL be damned.

Brown was almost the #2000 recruit for a reason and it sure as hell wasn’t his size.

No it was past time for him to go. We have hired 2 duds in a row but that doesn’t mean we needed to keep him.

How does the Governor of Louisiana intend to deploy the Guard into Mississippi? Is he going to have Trump federalize it and do it? He has zero authority to deploy it outside of Louisiana otherwise.

I know reading comprehension isn’t everyone’s strong suit.

That’s what I said homie.

Jeff Landry said that bringing in the National Guard to protect the team is on the table

Am I wrong or isn’t the Louisiana National Guard by definition off the table? But unless I’m mistaken he could send the entirety of the Louisiana State Troopers if he wanted…

Absolutely not. LSU is a founding member of the conference.

Zero chance it happens.

Na. Malzahn lost his mojo November 8th 2014 vs Texas A&M. He was never the same after that.

There was really a few different things that did Gus in…

The rule changes

He absolutely refused to throw intermediate passes, or to the middle of the field.

After a 1st his team always rushed to the line, did a quick snap, and ran up the middle after every single 1st down.

He changed the type of QB he recruited. He went from true DTQBs that was basically an extra RB to… QBs that were better at passing than running. Nick Marshall was a RB playing QB and we were near unstoppable in 2013 and 2014 until A&M… so he recruited passing DTQB Tyler Queen over a true DTQB who WANTED to come play in the Cam Newton offense… you may have heard of him… his name is Lamar Jackson.

He dismissed a REAL OL coach when he was hired (Jeff Grimes) and hired one who had no interest whatsoever in recruiting, JB Grimes… then forced out JB when the fans started noticing he couldn’t recruit an OL for his buddy Herb Hand who recruited a few highly rated OL who were all busts) then forced Hand out to rehire JB. Old man JB was rehired. I think this was his ultimate undoing. The last 4 LTs who played under Malzahn were a converted DE who was a literal African Prince who had never played American football, a transfer from mighty UMASS, a kid from Europe who had never taken a snap of American football prior to coming to Auburn, and a literal guard.

Lashlee seemed to just held a clipboard for Gus.

Gus’s missing link was an OL and a true DTQB.

My how far he has come from holding a clipboard for Malzahn

Let’s straighten up a few things.

Yes, the last time Auburn finished with a winning record was with Gus. What you left out is that Gus should have been fired many years earlier. To me he should have been fired immediately after the 2017 LSU game. He should have been let to walk after the 2017 Miracle at Jordan Hare and Kick6 rather than bending us over and going in dry. His final straw came after the 2020 season when Auburn finished 6-4 and he said “we finished with a solid record.”

Then after the former AD went rogue and hired a guy he shared a hot tub with we ended up with Bryan Harsin. Harsin may have been successful at Auburn in the 80s or early 90s but had no connect with his players… of a certain pigment… I believe one former player said something of the nature of “he from the north I understood him, I’m from the south he didn’t understand me.” Another said something along the lines of “he treated us like dogs.” Another “he wanted to win but didn’t understand players from disadvantaged backgrounds” another who was born and bred to play for Auburn, said he felt miserable and losing the fun” before becoming a Heisman finalist out west.

I don’t give a rats furry arse if Harsin won at Chris Petersons built Boise State. That attitude may have worked at Auburn decades ago but not in current day college football.

Now Freeze.

No one in the sec offices wanted Auburn to hire Freeze. Not many fans wanted it. But the AD and money men did. Freeze didn’t have the disconnect that Harsin had with the players. But he did with the sec. Last years roster SHOULD have won 9 games minimum. Bone headed calls, refusal to run the ball, and added absolutely horrendous calls made by sec officials and replay officials just all added up to Hugh appearing to start drinking and couldn’t handle the pressure cooker of playing UGA and Bama every year.

Will Golesh work out? Who knows. I hope so. I think so, but I was sure our roster last year would win 8 minimum.

But such is the life of an Auburn fan. The episode of SEC Shorts called the “Auburn fan experience.” Is absolutely spot on.

Which means. We comin… sometime. Then it’s right back to .500 for a couple years before we go on another run.

You are not wrong. But think of how well we did after Freeze was no longer in control. Sure seemed like a totally different offense to me
