Auburn is bad. Most noticeably on offense. Actually, the offense it's putrid. But, I didn't really expect a whole lot different. This is essentially the same team as last year. The plays were there at times, but the players weren't. Our QB's are horrendous. OL is more of the same. I feel good about the future, but we sick hind t i t right now.

The man is a gem. He's been my favorite coach to follow and listen to since he was at Wasu. Very entertaining. I hope he pulls through.

You feel so strongly you posted it twice. You realize he’s just started his coaching career, right? It’s just short of literally impossible for anyone after 4 years in the game to understand all of the aspects involved with being a head football coach. I love Auburn and everyone loves Cadillac and I hope that one day he’s ready to coach big time ball somewhere. I just don’t think it’s now.

He is that, but he could sell ketchup popsicles to a woman in white gloves. He’s had stints at West Alabama and West Georgia as HC and was OC under Fritz at Tulane. He played at North Alabama. He’s had success everywhere he’s been as a HC, albeit in D2. My point is that he’s familiar with the area and forms lasting relationships everywhere he goes. He’s turned Southern around in a year and a half mostly through the portal. He’s a worker and sells himself and his program wherever he is. I know it’s a long shot, but I think we’ll kick ourselves in the future for not at least talking to him.

This. I’m afraid Auburn makes decisions sometimes with no plan ie; firing Malzahn. I think there are people who believed coaches would be falling over themselves to have the job and that clearly wasn’t the case. Auburn ego has been Auburn’s undoing. I just hope it doesn’t last forever.

Kiffin isn’t going to Auburn. I wouldn’t if I were him. People talk about intangibles, but intangibles aren’t always good. There are aspects surrounding Auburn football that make it hard to support right now. I don’t think Harsin was going to be the answer, but the way his time in auburn was handled is embarrassing. We’re a laughing stock and a lot of people are too blinded to realize it. I think our best bet is to find an up and comer. Someone we won’t get locked into a multi-million dollar contract with only to buy out in a few years when the ball doesn’t bounce our way. Incentivize the whole contract. Tie in recruiting success to the pay. Tie in player retention. Will Hall at Southern Miss is an example of type of coach I’m talking about. We can’t get out of our own way right now. War Eagle

For what it’s worth, most State fans wanted Cohen gone. Idk why. I just know that most are tickled about it. May be something. May be nothing.

I think the idea that so many people want Harsin fired with less than two seasons under his belt is laughable. A) You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken cra p. This Auburn team is not very talented and I wouldn’t say the cupboard was bare when Harsin arrived, but it was close. This offensive line play is abysmal. We don’t have a QB in the house. We don’t have quality Depth at any position. Y’all don’t think the situation was inherited to some degree? I don’t want to hear about recruiting because if you don’t believe anyone’s ability to recruit to Auburn isn’t being sabotaged by all the negative news about Harsin’s future you’re delusional. You don’t think the competition isn’t using that to an advantage? If a man is gonna fail, let him do it on his own. Don’t push him towards it. B) What quality coach in his right mind is going to come to Auburn right now? These last 10 months have been a total fiasco. We’re a laughing stock and our “fans” are partly to blame because we just fan the flames. Truthfully, I think if Shug Jordan himself were hired tomorrow, a quarter of Auburn “fans” would want him fired by March. War Eagle

Thanks for all the exclamation marks. I appreciate your excitement.

Can we mandate a “No Gary Danielson Article” policy on SDS?

I can’t bring myself to dislike Saban and things like this are the reason why. I love that an Saban interview can go like this “coach, y’all really blew them out of the water 49-14” “yeah, well, we muffed that one punt and then gave up that 3rd and 8 for a first down so we can’t get off the field and we have to get better.”

You’re right. It was by rule targeting. So they got it right. You’re also right in that the problem lies in the rule itself. It was a tough break but probably not a game changer. The bottom line is that State made adjustments at the half and Auburn didn’t. We rushed three all day. It became apparent that we couldn’t defend the pass in the field so I would think I’d at least try and start making State force passes. Idk. I’m not a coach.

Nix is a middle of the road QB at best. We all know that and he had one of his worst showings of the season. But it can’t all be laid at his feet. A) Texas A&M’s defense had him running for his life. B) If Bo Nix is middle of the road, Auburn’s OL is bringing up the rear. Credit A&M’s defense, but good grief. Auburn’s defense showed up and kept them in the game, but it wasn’t reciprocated.

Nix looked awful, but in his defense A&M had him running for his life. Auburn’s D played well enough to win the game. Unfortunately A&M’s played better. Hats off to them. Auburn has to address problems on the offensive front.

Agreed.

Can we ban these Gary Danielson posts? Nobody cares for him, but weekly posts about him “getting ripped on social media” are as a tired as hearing the same knock knock joke over again from my 4 year old.

That’s actually not a bad idea at all. Steele’s defenses made Gus look more competent than he ever was.
