Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If it's "just a game" then why are we paying people millions to coach? After all, it doesn't matter, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger1985 920 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Well we knew this was coming but didn't think it would be this game. What is the deal with the officials this year? It's like they keep killing us. The announcers called it though about why don't we give our right tackle help with blocking? Our QB missed too many sure TDs tonight as he has lost his touch. Horrible down field throws, poor footwork etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly feel that I could coach this team to 7 wins and I don't know x's and o's nearly as well as Gus. But I'd damn sure let my coaches coach, get into a player's butt when needed, and know when to call time outs/go for it. Dabo took off as a coach when he finally went hands off and just managed a game. We need that badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenjammin 87 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I understand the OP trying to be an optimistic good sport, but to many of us Auburn Natives and locals, it’s about the money this coach was paid. It’s about non-AU people making judgments calls involving millions of school dollars for this result. I agree with the disappointment and anger. I wanted him gone even after we beat GA and Bama last year. There is a huge disconnect with our offense. I personally know some of our starters that are upset with coaches and have expressed it verbally. Believe me, they are frustrated over the calls too. It’s easier to accept this loss if our school had not paid this so called coach so much money. Such a waste of Auburn money and squandered talent. If we play our best and lose to a good team... fine, but when announcers are laughing at our O-line and saying Chip needs to help them out... it’s embarrassing.

CleCoTiger 1,957 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm 57 years old. folks. What is important to me now are not necessarily things that were important to me half my lifetime ago. I like AU football. I'm a fan. I like it a lot more when our Tigers win. But when they lose I don't melt down over it any more. It makes little difference to my tomorrow. Just a different perspective with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,358 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I honestly applaud your approach @CleCoTiger, but at $7mil per year, it’s not a game, it’s a business. And the CEO is driving the company into a hole. Folks are going to vent after Auburn gets embarrassed like that with the talent AU has. It’s all the things those who have been leery of Gus have been saying all along all coming true at once. He a con, and it’s painful to watch because he’s conned our beloved university.

Sully to Beasley 643 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Our offensive line once again was awful. I do not think it can be fixed this season.or maybe even the next. How did we get here? How did we not convince hgh school offensive linemen to come to Auburn? The same for elite running backs? I am not giving up on Auburn by any means but I do realize that we have major issues right now. What a depressing night!😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Gus is savvy enough to be a con man. He just sits back and lets that snake Sexton use him to ream us. Are there any coaches who don’t use that guy?

I would have to offer not only to leave on my own but also to reimburse the money I was paid. We should never hire a coach again that is not willing to put it on the line that if they screw up they get nothing. If a coach actually is good and believes in his self he would be glad to make that part of the deal. Only a coach like Gus who didn’t believe in his self would have taken that buyout. Look at Saben his is 6 million. Why? Cause he believes in his ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
