He knows where and when to use capitalization, something that seems to elude many of his age group including some of my immediate family members. This is no small thing, particularly in a QB. It indicates attention to detail and willingness to do things properly. Punctuation is huge when it comes to being a great student athlete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,874 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 So I'm sure JS realizes he can play at AU if he so chooses. We got opportunities for ya sir. Come on down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching that 'pull a name out of a hat, whose turn is it now, quarterback by committee fiasco' last night, I don't see how the young man could be attracted to Auburn now.

autan 767 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 You guys have to know and Jarrett does too that if he comes to Auburn there would be no more QB by committee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima, if we hired Kendall, would Gus "trust" him enough to give him the OC job with little or no interference? Would Gus allow him to possibly change from a run first offensive plan to a more balanced run/pass offense? Seems we are at a crossroads with our coaching staff.

AUwent 3,782 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Last night made me both more optimistic and pessimistic at the same time--optimistic because we were in the position where we SHOULD'VE beaten a team most pundits would blow us out by at least three touchdowns, pessimistic because Gus's horrific play calling might deter KB and JS. I'm also concerned about whether we can get a decent head coach. I don't believe we shouldn't, since there's five other teams that have to share the division with UAT. For the past thirty-five years, we've always rebounded quickly when we hit a slump, so I have to believe that with JS and an experienced group of WRs (remember the sophomore thread), we should rebound again before the decade ends. We don't want the Kick 6 to be like Punt Bama Punt in more ways than just one. Also, I have to believe something is going on behind the scenes. Especially with Kamryn Pettway not playing and the general silence by those in the know surrounding it. Edited September 5, 2016 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the question that concerns me too. HC's typically have coordinators on the side of the ball the HC's coached bend to the HC's will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Gus said today White starts again this week and JFIII is getting the backup snaps. I think we are basically down to 2 and I would expect White to get by far, the majority of snaps and JFIII will have packages. I do not have an issue with this. I do not think recruits are feeling the same way as the posters that are saying they they would not consider AU if they were a QB. These recruits remember Nic Marshall and Cam Newton. JMO but some fans can't remember what happened 5 minutes ago. BTW, Stidham had a great trip to AU and he said he has no issues with the QB situation at AU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 You always have to remember that, where many fans see a failing coach, many stud QB recruits are going to see a clear cut path to immediate playing time. No spin necessary, because the carousel is already spinning quite nicely. "We are executing this game plan we found at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box because we don't have you." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,905 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thankfully, Stidham, as well as most other recruits, aren't as fickle as many AU fans. He knows that one game (a first game of the year) where the coaches are trying to figure out who is the best QB in real game situations is not an end all deal breaker when it comes to the coaching he would receive at a particular University. It was just one game. If all 12 looked like that, then I would agree no one should ever willfully decide to play for that coaching staff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman is happy at Houston and has made them into a serious contender. As long as they can pay him an acceptable salary, I think he stays there. If, by chance, he goes anywhere, IMO it would be LSU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only KB's second year as an OC. I doubt most quality programs thnk he has enough experience yet. I know what Bird has posted but my bigger concern is Art finding a job & KB following him.
