Yup, especially after all of our top $$$ freshman receivers transfer after this year.

Can’t wait for Hugh to bring in his guys and take over play calling!!!!!

[WarDamnDoc 399]

Alright I'm sure many will disagree but IMO:

Hugh gets a pass as long as he continues to recruit like he is.  We will get better with his recruiting, and we'd be idiots to fire him if he starts landing top 5 classes.  His in-game coaching isn't perfect, but we're not going to get a better coach right now.

Payton needs to be done at AU, period. PT's body language said it all today- he was ready to lose about halfway through the game and completely lost his confidence.  Put Hank in and let him run the offense for the rest of the season.  He's a gamer who steps up under the lights, and his QB IQ is much higher. He will make some silly mistakes, but his ceiling is higher. PT is at his ceiling right now, and he's not going to get better. 

D was weak in the first half, but adjusted well.  Needed a better gameplan and preparation.  We need a dominant CB to step up - Scott and Lee did not look great today.

I thought the OLine was fine.  Not great, but not one of the bigger problems.

Keldrick Faulk is growing into an absolute beast.  Can't wait to see what he does moving forward.

Let go back further for some foresight.  Before Freeze was hired I said he was not a qualified SEC coach and 65% to 75% of you gave me grief.  The only thing they could point to was he beat Alabama twice but in actuality Bama beat themselves twice.  You talk about hindsight but that regretfully seems the only thing Auburn people use.  Some good foresight would be very useful.

Ask Ole Miss fans about Freeze. smh

Absolutely. From listening to the beat guys sounds like freeze didnt think the value was there and not that the money wasnt available. I didnt understand it then or now.

Ole Miss fans love Freeze and wanted him back if Kiffin were to have left.

Why do I need to ask Ole Miss fans about Freeze.  I don't care what they think about him.  His game plan is not working at Auburn even with upgrades at receivers.

I would work for less and be more effective than what we got now.

You're right. But just like with Gus, I am wondering if his methods don't work anymore

Yep, Gus' game plan was effective at one time too. I'm afraid Freeze's has become outdated

Just like Auburn.

How bad must Grenier and White be? I thought Freeze was a QB whisperer.

I’ll be here every week watching. I am NOT one of AU’s 85%. 

Congratulations? 

 

And it's more like 45% because we've been trash for going on 3-4 years now and the stadium is always packed.

Freeze looked terrible on the sidelines. No pun intended,  but he looked frozen.  Most on here saw enough from Thorne last year, and the bowl game, that he shouldn't be the guy. Bad passes, turnovers,  and doesn't stand tall in the pocket. This WRs class deserves better.  Auburn deserves better.  We just done a 180 on offense from the Alabama A&M game. Nick Saban put the pressure on Frezze this morning,  on GameDay, talking good about Auburn and Freeze being the sleeper team in the Conference,  and boy did we go to sleep today. Auburn is to big for Freeze, he can't handle the pressure. There I said it.

Absolutely he just wanted the title and the big paycheck to coach at a P5 school. No way he would not take the ridiculous get rich quick plan Auburn offered .The coaching part would be up to his assistants, which he picked the ones he’s “comfortable “ with. Freeze looks like a homeless person who somehow wandered onto the sideline.

Well, we will see about that. Turning a program around quickly means a significant leap in year 2. 

[AuburnNTexas 7,315]

In 1st half we continuously only rushed 3 until last Cal drive in second quarter where we sacked Mendoza.  In second half we rushed 4 and mixed up who was 4th rusher.

In second half our D played well. 1st half D I blame on D coaching.
