Arkansas offering him 7 years for $50 mil. That’ll buy a lot of waffles. Can’t see Auburn matching that.

For the life of me, I just don't get the logic behind reworking this man's contract.  He was signed through the 2020 season.  3 more years.  What about honoring the contract everyone agreed on? He won 2 big games this year.  Write the man a big incentive check for that and tell him if he thinks the grass is greener somewhere else, then so be it.  Auburn always gonna' Auburn.

I think we all agree this man is usually wrong. ^^^But he’s right about this. Give Gus an even nicer bonus than agreed upon and whisper sweet nothings.

Don’t overdo it by renegotiating just because the man did his job this season. After multiple underperforming games and series’s?

We flinched. Got to be willing to let him walk.

Sexton wins again.

Go get the best mif major coach in the county for 75% less. And maybe even win more.

I love Gus and don’t blame him for maximizing his income. It’s his job and he owes it to his family. But this is ridiculous.

I don't think it was a reward as much as it was a capitulation.

This was market driven.  At the current prices you can gamble that the next guy will catch lightning in a bottle or you can pay for stability.

I submit that the secret to Auburn's success has mostly been due to stability in its coaching staffs.  That sounds crazy after the 2008-13 stretch, but those years were the outliers in a long history of relatively little head coach turnover. 

It was important to extend the contract, as the recruiting pitch against him was essentially "he won't be there when you're a senior."  The cost of that extension was, due to market conditions beyond our control, abnormally high this year.

I think it will prove to be a prudent investment.  But what the fuck do I know?

Exactly, have the playoff committee pick the best four in the pre-season. Those 4 just play practice games until the playoffs at the end. Everyone else plays the regular season for #5-#25. If the #4 team has some strange injuries, then maybe they'll put the #5 team in...just as long as they won their Conference.

A lifelong Bama friend told me before the Iron Bowl that he thought they could lose it and still make the playoff.
Now you can say that's a cocky bastard because he knows the SECCG is a fucking waste of time.
We once thought the Big Twelve shouldn't get in without a champtionship game. Just fucking eliminate them and go to a 7 team +1 Ro Ti!

Losing to UGA hurts but to me it's like we lost twice because the Turds waltz right in.

I like Gus a lot. I think he’s a good man and coach.

But something is wrong, somewhere, when you gain 49 million through losing a game. Had he won, I don’t think he stood to gain as much.
Title: Re: Gus gone
Post by: Kaos on December 04, 2017, 08:22:53 AM
The only place Gus is gone to is the fucking bank.  Not his fault that the bullshit CFP motherfuckers effectively rendered our late-season renaissance utterly meaningless. 

I can't make up my mind.  I still feel like the only reason we shoved mountains of money at him is because:

a)the shitshow that's taking place in Tennessee tainted a bunch of possible candidates and made the market look like a bag of dirty dicks
b) the media-fueled rumor that Arkansas was going to offer him an assload of money too (not convinced of that AT ALL)
c) he has the best (or worst depending on your perspective) agent in the business and he played AU like a well-worn fiddle

In the last few games, Gus proved that he can, at times, do what few other coaches have been able to do.  You can list on one hand the teams that mentally and physically dominated Alabama over the last decade.  We did that just over a week ago. 

Over the course of the season, however, he proved that he can fuck up like no other.  Make all the excuses you want, but that team should have beaten both LSU and Clemson.  We shouldn't be sucking on a fucking peach today. 

He proved that he is still gallingly stubborn in terms of personnel.  In 2013 he rode Tre Mason into complete mush.  This year he put so much on kerryon's shoulder that he was half a man on Saturday.  He should not have been in the fucking game and Gus should have had an alternate plan when it became obvious to even the blind squirrel crawling out of the rubble of the detonated Georgia Dome that KJ couldn't carry the load.  But he never, ever, ever, ever, ever fucking has an alternate plan. 

Georgia did.  They punished KJ with cheap shots after almost every carry.  And he still left him in the game.  There's no excuse for that.  Frankly, it's not fair to Kerryon.

On the other hand, we're playing in a Big Six bowl for the second straight season. In the short history of the Big Six only Alabama and (seriously?) Ole Miss can say that. 

So I'm ambivalent.  I'm sorry I was so negative toward him after the LSU game. Now I'm sorry I got caught up in (as someone said) him just doing what he was fucking hired to fucking do. 

Would I rather be a UT fan trying to find some hope in fat Fred Thompson blubbering with his fat blue lips about how they gonna get back on track now, cuz coaches will talk to him, he's so impawtant?  Would I rather be an A&M fan pretending that Jimbo 'never won shit without a crab thief' Fisher is the second coming?  Would I rather be an Ole Miss fan, with Big Bubba Biscuit Belly?  Or an MSU Fan with a cross between Gomer Pyle and fat Vincent D'Onofrio standing at my podium? Or an Arkansas fan oinking along like my third-rate program is an attractive destination for any coach?  Or an LSU fan backing yawyawfuhbalyaw? 

No. But not many of them would want to be us either. 

Had a member of my sorta extended family text me yesterday afternoon.  Not gloating, because he's one of the few who don't.  The text read:  "I feel bad for you today. Really. It's gotta suck and I can't imagine how I'd feel in the same boat.  Maybe we can win it all for you."

Fuck. It does suck.

Well, since we've just made Gus the 4th highest paid coach in the country, (Avg, per year) even ahead of Dabo, we may as well make the best of it. 247 has us currently ranked 9th in the country in recruiting with 18 commitments, four of which are 4-star recruits.  We only signed ten 4-star kids last year.  The one thing that concerns me, as it has the last few years, is the lack of running backs. We have one, albeit a damn good one, committed in Asa Martin. We need at least 3 IMO.

Title: Re: Gus gone
Post by: GH2001 on December 04, 2017, 09:15:37 AM
Malzahn was a one-year Mid Major Coach.

Keeps - is the key word. Gus - Who had been a successful coordinator and recruiter in this conference. It's a big difference.

Not gonna argue with you. If you guys wanna jump off a ledge or pitch a hissy fit or play armchair uncle rico all knowing then have at it.

Gus isn't my favorite either. But I don't think he's terrible esp when he gets out of his own way and not coaching with his ass cheeks puckered. You can have stability with a guy who has shown he can coach most of the time and has been involved with beating Saban more than anyone. Or you can run off into the wilderness like tenn has done and texas a&m did for years. The coaching job against ga and bama the end of season was a thing of beauty. He does that for the most part going forward?  Yeah I am ok with it.

I agree the 7 mill salary is asinine. But there isn't much I or you can do about it. It's done. Over.

I think wes summed it up best on that aspect. It's a chess match of supply and demand and this year heavily favors demand winning. Arkansas threw an obscene amount at him because of.....demand. We either match it or move on. For once this was not a sexton ploy. The offer from the hogs was real.

I too am still pissy about the LSU loss, but, damn you can't be pissed about knocking down two #1 teams with both being your biggest rivals. Yes Auburn lost the SECCG to one of those but you know Auburn kind of limped into this game. I'm proud of them.

Gus Gus Gus. He has had us all ready to cut throats but he did exactly what we all said he had to in order to keep his job. Even after all this, he turned down his so called dream job to stay at Auburn. He knows he has something special brewing at Auburn that wouldnt happen at Arkansas.

Also, you guys remember not too long ago how we all were bitching about QB development? I feel you can do a rewind and see this in Stidham. He has come along. Chip might not be too bad.

I'm not pitching a hissy, nor was I calling for the man's head. The whole "We were wrong, Gus" theme that went on after beating Bama, and which obviously extended over into our administration, is what I've always taken issue with.  It dates back quite a few years.   We did it with Bowden in 97' after he luckily won against a terrible Bama team.  He was gone a few games later.  It wasn't euphoria over wins but rather 3 years of Sexton floating rumors about Arkansas that made them continually throw money at Tubs.  BTW, why do we keep getting played by them?  We did it with Chizik after the MNC and two short years later was the worst season in Auburn history....and he gone.  And now, after 3 1/2 years of dismal, underachieving and sometimes embarrassing football, his team gets hot and picks up a couple of big wins.  And this administration makes him the 4th highest paid coach in the country, extending a very solid and well paying contract already in place through 2020.  That's what I have issue with.

Agree^^^. Which concerns me.

We are throwing several things into the same pot and discussing as one.

Championship game performance, Gus’ year, the contract, etc.

We caved and Sexton won again. We had no plan be vs thugs. Why not play the freshman RB and even QB. Go borderline twirley bird when you have nothing to lose.

We were cornered without Kerryon and Pettway, fosho.

The contact? Agree with Snags and K.

It’s a fantastic job by Sexton, as usual. We have terrible negotiators imo.

Winning these two games and this season is great but doesn’t warrant this raise.

Bingo.  We are paying him Jimbo Fisher/Urban Meyer money, without the Jimbo Fisher/Urban Meyer hardware.

I said this earlier this morning, it's all going to boil down to two questions.
1) Is an 8-4 season going to be considered a disappointment?
2) Is Jeremy Johnson the aberration or the norm?

And what should our realistic expectations going forward be?  We're paying the man top 5 money, I expect top 5 results.  At a minimum, we should enter Amen Corner knowing that we are in position to make the college football playoffs should we take care of business.

We just paid a guy top coaching figures!?!?!! The same guy who was close to being fired mid-October...dafucq? I'm not saying he didn't deserve some monies but it wasn't worth that.  We still don't know what kind of coach we have, so the narrative remains what it always has been, wait and see with him.

I'm not saying he didn't deserve some monies but it wasn't worth that.  We still don't know what kind of coach we have, so the narrative remains what it always has been, wait and see with him.
See, I agreed with Kaos and even Snaggle on this issue but you don't include me in your post.

Honestly, I don't give a shit. It does not bother me, in the least. I only mention...well, because...screw you GF.

All of this and especially the ménage part.  Group hug in the showers.  No?

247 has us currently ranked 9th in the country in recruiting with 18 commitments, four of which are 4-star recruits.  We only signed ten 4-star kids last year. 
13 of which are 4* recruits

FTFY

At a minimum, we should enter Amen Corner knowing that we are in position to make the college football playoffs should we take care of business.

Was that not what happened this season?

We knew if we won out, we were in. It was along shot. But we almost hit it!

Yep, it absolutely happened this year, but not one of us expected it.  I thought 8-4, like usual, with loses to Clemson, LSU, UGA, Bama. 

I'm just worried we're going to fall into a 7-5/8-4 as the mean, with 2013/2017 as the exceptions.

Well. As others have shown, the only thing that matters is if the committee likes you at the end of the season!

Yeah. If I sit at the slot machine and keep stubbornly  hitting the fucking button at some point I’m going to hit a jackpot or two.  Might even hit two in a row.  Guess that makes me one of the top slot players in the country.

So Chip is responsible for Gus getting $7M/year for the next 7 years?

Ok.

Thats not what I am saying or meant to imply. I guess I am more looking at whats ahead with Gus staying and keeping his staff intact. There is plenty of talent to build on a pretty decent year.

I'm just going to pretend that Gus has turned the corner since the LSU game.
I am also going to pretend that Jacobs is gone.
Also, that I am married to Jennifer Aniston.

Look, I realize that you’re brand new to the board but if you’re going to make it around here, you’ve got to learn how to be negative.

His last contract stated that he would make $100,000 for 11 wins, $150,000 for 12, $200,000 for 13 etc...
followed by bonuses for making and winning SECCG, making playoffs and winning NCG.

That said, as Auburn fans should we not EXPECT a minimum of 10 wins per season from a top 5 head coach?
His requirements were met.

It's all a big fucking set up to keep Gus at Auburn so UGA and SPUAT can continuously beat our ass in the futire. Both teams threw their games so AU would keep Gus. Mark my words.
