I dont understand this narrative that Auburn is a toxic place to coach. We have had less coaches than Alabama and LSU since the 2000 and every coach was fired after a losing season or in Gus's case a couple seasons of mediocrity. Auburn can and should be contending for a national title, we have the money, the fans, and now the facilities. This offseason drama with Harsin was admittedly pathetic and should never have happened but it was clear he wasn't right for the job. If we hire an established and reputable coach, the boosters will back him fully.

This whole situation is not as much of a dumpster fire as everyone is making it out to be. Greene was disliked by most coaches at Auburn because he was killing their budgets. Basketball after making a final four and winning the SEC saw budget cuts even though they were clearly making the University more money than ever. I won't judge the Harsin hire yet but you can't expect to get the extension you are looking for before the football season when you make a questionable hire. I won't disagree that the boosters may have their hands a little too much in the pot but they do pay for a lot of things, they're just too public about their involvement.

I just graduated recently and auburn cops are probably the most anal police force ever, especially the campus PD

I agree, but I will also caveat that Georgia game (albeit we should have blown the doors off them) with the fact that our best defensive and most under appreciated PG Zep Jasper was out with illness. When he's healthy and a walk on isn't playing second rotation we are all around so much better. Also KD Johnson and Wendell Green went a combined 17-35 from the field. Too much a revenge game for KD and not enough shots from Jabari. That being said I'm holding out for an SEC tournament matchup between Auburn and Kentucky, will absolutely decide who is the number 1 overall seed.

Bo's performance on Saturday looked worse on the stat sheet than it actually was because his receivers dropped so many fine passes, he was probably 30/43 without those drops. Doesn't matter much for this week, Georgia's pass rush is going to absolutely murder him

I think it's less that Gus was kryptonite to Bama as it was as a school everybody hates that school across the state and we'll leave everything out on that field just to beat them. Granted I haven't been to every school in the SEC but Jordan Hare is rocking when we play any close conference game and I can imagine that's hard to play in. I think depending on how many interceptions Matt Corrall throws (I think he leads the SEC in interceptions this year) we can beat Ole Miss, TAMU is incredible overhyped, and Miss State and arkansas are wins. We just have to win three of LSU, Georgia, PSU, and Alabama to have a great season.

Again though, like Weagle99 said, we only kept any of those games close because our defense was elite with Steele. The offensive mastermind of the RPO hadn't changed anything since 2013 when the no huddle hurry up revolutionized CFB. The common thread in the Oregon, Washington, and LSU games was that our defense kept them out of the end zone. Hell even alabama in 19 was a won because we had two pick sixes!
