FFP...maybe the defense just gets worn slam out from being on the field the entire game. Let's face it, whether Gus' offense is clicking at it's best or falling on its face, the defense is on the field for practically the entire game. Quick strike, feast or famine offenses affect their own defense negatively either way, IMO. That's true.

I will have to say his offense didn't do to bad in the Iron Bowl last year. Dammit.  Dammit X2!  I hope Bama fares much better this year.

Hunterbuck prettymuch summed it up. Unless you have a Superman like Newton or Tebow at qb that can convert that third and 3-4 with his legs or his arm and keep the chains moving, the type of offense that Malzahn or Meyer or anybody else that doesn't play power football usually doesn't work well in the SEC for more than a season or so.
I kinda like Gus and he comes up with some really innovative stuff. I think he could probably dominate in another conference. The facts are though; since he's been at auburn his teams average somewhere around 14-17 points a game in the sec without Cam. If they had gotten Russell Wilson it may have been a different story this season. It's hard to depend on an offense that requires a once in a lifetime quarterback to really be effective in this league though. Paging 270wsm please report to the football forum. That was the premise of my "why the spread will not last in the SEC" thread from 3 years or so ago...when Franklin was hired.

Wishbone, fun-n-gun, spread...all had fleeting glory in the SEC. Teams always come back to the tried and true pro-set eventually, though.

Those who have to prepare defenses to stop his offenses may have the best perpective and, if I remember correctly, most like defensive legend Monte Kiffen have been impressed with his offenses and his play calling. Of course, his offense is probably more dependent on good quarterback play than what most college offenses are, and he just aint getting that this year.

his offense is probably more dependent on good quarterback play . I think it is the O-line that is the biggest weakness. They can't open holes from the rushing game and can't keep from allowing sacks. All around they are dismal.

Might as well announce it and start his recruiting.
Him being there for Bama's curb-stomping win won't make much of a difference.

His playcalling this year has been suspect at best. I wish him well if he leaves but I for one am ready for a pro style offense and not that gimmicky shite that he runs. While it was very successful last year with Cam, it has been god awful against SEC defenses. He needs to be in the Big 12 where they have no defense at all. I don't agree that his offense has been figured out rather it takes a complete offense to run it. OL, receivers, TE, and a very mobile QB. It's very hard to have that kind of offense every year. And this year, the offense is lacking at every position except RB and TE and Blake when he's healthy.

I agree. No announcement should be made until after the last game, whether it's the iron bowl or bowl game. He better accept any job offer he gets before the Bama game cause his stock will definetly drop after that one!! I doubt they cross mid-field all game!!
But all kidding aside, Auburn has simply been beaten by better teams. It was a brutal schedule and it is showing. He didn't have much to work with but he could have at least made a showing in some of the losses. I think he is getting handcuffed by a shitty defense and a HC who being defensive minded wants to slow the game down.

Seriously, Auburn doesn't just fire a coach because Finebaum wants them to. Huh?
