All we heard from the mods on the Auburn sites was how they did not get along, how Chip wanted to get away from Gus, how Gus was too involved with the play calls, etc, etc. seems none of it is true. I am finding more and more that those sites want clicks and really do not know what is going on… 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Didn't seem to take an expert to see that things were off in 2018. 2017 truly looked like Gus let Chip do his thing with Stidham. Obviously the talent was better in '17. But Chip is desperate and this was his best bet for now. Better than Taggart at FAU lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Lindsey got fired by Troy a month ago. He wasn't going to get many better offers than this for 2022. And, hey, Orlando. As for Gus, we've known for years that he loves nothing more than things he's already done. This makes a lot of sense and doesn't necessarily contradict prior accounts of their relationship. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Just more evidence of how things were with him here if you ask me. He is basically replicating the same thing he did at AU at UCF. Bringing same players. Same coaches. Same scheme. The man will never adapt. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finding more and more that those sites want clicks and really do not know what is going on… Chip Lindsey had just been hired at FAU ~13 days ago as OC, before getting the call from UCF. You see, most of these guys will still prioritize their career and paychecks. UCF is a big step up from FAU where Willie Taggart is coming off a 5-7 season. The fact that he went back to Gus doesn't disqualify anything that may or may not have happened here before; once you consider that it's his best offer.

I'm not projecting a similar trajectory for Lindsey but it's a lot better than any role at FAU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that there may have been frustration from Lindsay, but the stories about Gus lying to him don't really hold water after this, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give the appearance of a quicker "rehab". At FAU, he'd be there 3-4 years before others came looking. At UCF, that time is cut to 2-3.

fishepa 2,044 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Amazing how you can just be a mediocre coach and once you get a gig somewhere you can just keep going round and round getting contracts every few years. Are good coaches really on such short supply everyone is just recycled everywhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how poor coaches can make a career of just bouncing around from team to team and never get any better at anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
