Maybe it’s okay for me to post about AU seeing that I’m a Bama fan. Having attended college in the AU system plus having three daughters that graduated from Auburn gives me the credentials among other things that are work related I guess. So here I go.

Auburn will have played five teams that were all in the top ten at the time and lost to three in the top five by a combined score of less than twenty one points or so at this point in the season with three games left. But some are and the majority here still want him gone. Why is that I’m asking. Is it his offensive philosophy or his lack of consistency for what ever the reason may be. It’s obvious to people that have watched every game this season that AU could easily be undefeated right now but the inability to score in the red zone is why they aren’t. Ernie, Clem, jawbone, 257, Burbank, bward, Bud, bull and other grads or fans what’s your thoughts from a football philosophy standpoint.

My main gripe with him is the offense. His playbook isn’t very deep, nor are the plays he calls very effective.

Gus isnt a bad coach. Fact is, he has been pretty good. He is about equal to a Tommy Tuberville. Tuberville was run off and fired also.

I'll take this bait...

The only consistency with Gus is his ineptitude on offense against quality opponents. If it was year two under Gus, we could hope for improvement, but it's year 7 and things are getting worse, not better. Don't be fooled by the scores in the games this year, we were down by a large margin in all of these games and had to make a comeback to make a respectable score.

He is getting paid as a top tier coach, but we are getting average results, and there is NOTHING we have seen that makes us believe this will change.

I’m tired of having an “offensive guru” for a head coach, who somehow produces 3 win offenses and national championship defenses. In addition, I’m tired of the roller coaster. There’s no consistency. From one week to the next and especially from one season to the next.

But I think at the end of the day, his inability to beat LSU, uga, and ala is what gets him fired.

Gus is a pretty good coach in my opinion but he HAS to have two things for his offense to be effective....a true top shelf dual threat quarterback and a great O-line. Take away either one of these and you get what we have now....an average offense at best.

Gus is a horrible coach. If the SEC West was like if used to be 5-7 years ago he’d be 6-6 at best.

$6.8 million offensive guru coach + Heisman candidate QB + Home game + Bye week = 14 points?? I personally think he needs more time.

and it better be a guy that transferred in and already talented enough to carry an offense....because he aint recruiting and developing one.

No sir. No development at all. It’s pathetic

Im not disagreeing with you but who do you think is a good coach?

It seems to me just the opposite happens. He gets one from HS and the QB seems to regress instead of getting better. Nix at best is the same as in the beginning but maybe actually worse. Definitely not better.

You got that right!! jbatey1

Im biting too.

His lack of player development it terrible. all positions but QB is the worst.

I’m not trolling. Just trying to have a football conversation here without acting like a bunch idiots poking each other with a stick in the eye.

So what if Malzahn hired an offensive coordinator that ran the pro set RPO type and left it alone. Could he do that and would he be able to. And what if he’s given that ultimatum at the end of the season by the AD.

that is my question ... who are the top 5 coaches in the country dying to coach at Auburn?

He has recruited a few....Gatewood was a stud, did zero with him, no development at all. Nix stud in high school, no better now.

Then there was Jeremy Johnson, who couldnt lose in high school. He was awful at Auburn. But he wasnt developed either. Its pathetic

Mitch Mustain started all this BS.

No true OC will come because they know CGM is on the way out. He had to hire someone from Memphis last year that hasnt done shucks. Tubbs went through the same thing when he was being ousted

Gus won't be able to keep his hands out of the mix and let an offensive coordinator do his job. As someone said here in another thread a while back Gus" believes" that his offensive schemes work

LOL you right.
