Actually, I think Richard Shelby should now retire and Gus can run for Senate. Tubberville and Malzhan. I like the thought of that.
JK
Not entirely JK.
Pinging to the Auburn, WAR EAGLE, ping list.
Going to be tough for Auburn no matter who the coach is, you’ll always have Bama, LSU will be back and now it looks like Fisher is finally getting A&M over the hump.
Old white guy
No firing issues
If youre a white guy they ignore the ageism card
I think they made a mistake. Of course, Auburn can’t stand out any year with the tough teams in their conference and around them, but I doubt they’ll find a better coach.
I’m a Gus fan. I wish him well. This wasn’t unexpected.
Sorry, guys. Tommy Tuberville will be busy for the next six years.
$21.7 million buyout? I think Gus will be O.K.
I have a feeling that Patrick Nix had a lot to do with this one. His kid is beginning to look like a bust and Gus gets the blame.
But there is just so much an OC can dumb down an offense for a player. AU has given him plenty of opportunities for success, but he still has a high school hero mentality.
Now look at the bales that are being floated. Hugh Freeze??? A degenerate and a cheat. No thanks.
I thought colleges were in deep financial trouble due to the Wu Flu. Now they’ll be paying money that would make Hunter Biden choke on his crack pipe to two different coaches. If I were an Auburn parent I would ignore the pleas to give to the school over and above tuition.
Dave Benedict (UConn’s AD) please get him for UConn’s FB coach. We would love to be 6-4!!! 😀
It was time. He’s an offensive guru whose offenses stunk (at least recently), and he couldn’t beat the rivals. He should go back to being an OC.
One college coach benchmark to use is “How many times have you beat Nick Saban?”
Gus is #1 at 3 times or 30%, Dabo and Hugh Freeze are 2 times, LS shoe’s Ed O is at 1. That’s about it.
Maybe they’ll try and get Urban Meyer.
