Auburn is a 13.5 underdog at Georgia. 

Seems low. 
It does, considering we gained 19 yards, punted 8 times, lost badly in terms of time of possession and got gashed on the ground at home where we normally play better. It was the exact type of game TAMU plays and any rival could wish for.

Just a guess but a team might win one in every 75-100 games playing that badly.

Few thoughts:  

- I don’t know if it’s high or low. Both these teams are schizophrenic. Us more than them but still. Just don’t know. 

- Georgia has a good D. But LSU carved their secondary up worse than they did ours. Ga’s strength is up front against the run. We have no run. Is there a real loss there? Shall we go as snags said all mike leach on that ass and shoot for glory? I say yes. Nothing to lose. 

- Georgias pass game has come around. Our secondary has too though. Who thought they would get gashed less than the fearsome four up front at this stage of the season? Not I. Can dinson, Thomas and dean do anything with Holloman? May be the key.

Swift and Holyfield are going to run wild unless we sell out to stop them.

Fromm is very beatable if you pressure him, but we do that at the peril of letting loose the screen passes to Swift.

So...pick your poison: wanna get run the fuck over or make Fromm look like the 2nd coming of Joe Burrow?

Me too. Confuse them with our high school passing concepts for about 20 minutes, no turnovers, no field goals all while stopping them one more time than they stop us. Brilliant!
Hmmm...but what do we do with the other 40 minutes?

I don't see any get back from Smart for Big Cat's hit. The fake fg is just leftover hate from Gus's comments last year. Smart would never try something like that on King Nicky. 

Gus was angry because our best sack threat just got tossed.

This game was eerily like last years SECCG. Predictable, no run game, no adjustments and defense faded.

Actually makes more sense.

Except that clip happened late in the game after we punted. Not after the targeting call. Look at the score.

So I didn't watch much.  Saw that we lost.  Saw that we were ineffective -- again -- on offense.  Saw that the defense mailed it in basically.  

Yawned.  

This is what we are.  It's not going to get better.  We're not going to get better.  Four or five losses a year *MSU level* is the reality of who Gus is.  Falling further and further behind our primary rivals -- UA, UGA, LSU -- is the reality of who Gus is.  

He's never known what to do to fix it because he didn't have the experience of working through the ranks.  Saban wasn't Saban at Kent State, Syracuse, WVU, Ohio State, Navy, Michigan State, Toledo, the Oilers or the Browns. But he learned something at each of those stops from the coaches he worked with/for.  

Who has Gus learned from?  14 years as a high school coach in shitty Arkansas. Winning in high school in Arkansas is like winning the Miss RC Cola competition. Who gives a fuck?  There's very little talent there.  He leveraged the fact that he had some highly desired recruits (none of which turned out to be worth a fiddling fuck in a colostomy bag) into a job with Houston Nutt's Arkansas team.  We all thought Nutt was a bitch for clashing with Gus, but based on what we've seen of his ego since maybe Nutt wasn't in the wrong to ditch him less than a season in.  From there to Tulsa. He worked under Todd Graham.  Wow. A coaching luminary.  Then a couple of years under Chizik where Cam Newton made him look like a genius.  Then a year at Arkansas State -- his only head coaching experience.  

He doesn't have the background to handle this job.  He needed seasoning.  When he caught lightning in a bottle with Marshall, it confirmed in his own mind that he's a genius. 

I heard people on the SEC Network last night.  They noted that Cam was on the sidelines during last night's game.  This was their comment. "Maybe Cam's got some tips to help this offense.  Maybe Gus will listen to him, he sure doesn't listen to anybody else..."  

That, my friends, is one of many problems.  

I have no doubt Gus is a good guy.  I'm sure he's doing the best he can.  But he simply did not have the experience or background for a job of this magnitude.  Few do, really.  He needed a few years and a few stops to learn a) he damn sure isn't the smartest person in the room, 2) some ways to handle certain situations, C) some different philosophies on what can work.

I sometimes wonder where the hell you’re coming from. I went back and watched the targeting call.  Was bullshit.  

He didn’t “launch”.  Lowered his head and spread his arms with the obvious intent to wrap the guy up.  The only reason it went helmet inn helmet was that Fromm went down in the nanosecond after bryant committed to the tackle. 

Its not consistently called.  I saw 15 minutes of the Bama game and at least six of their tackles were more egregious than what was called on bryant. None flagged. 

Deserved it my ass. 

Yes bama wjll likely crush us.  But you can bet that they will get any help they might need should things not go their way.

I told people that early in the year and they just waled on me. He is great without pressure. Put the slightest bit of pressure on him and he freaks. I'm not even sure that is fixable.
He missed Davis twice on a short crossing route. Overthrew Boobie on a short WFO pass. Throws a screen right into the defender. And then on 4th and 3, goes long for the first time  the game.

The first quarter, he actually looked good. I'm not sure what happened.

I've come to accept that our offense is what it is.  The bigger concern is how our defense keeps getting gashed.  Going in, our front 7 was supposed to be top 2 or 3 in the country, and at times, they've shown it.  In others, like MSU, A&M and FUGA, they've been pushed around and running backs are ripping off big run after big run. 

However, in looking at the stats for this season, this D is giving up 18.3 points and 372 yards per game.  Under 20 a game is not bad in this day and age of wide open offenses.  But this D just looks unprepared and guys who are normally solid are making mistake after mistake.  Deshaun Davis now seems a step slow and is easily blocked.  One play had Montavious Adkinson looking back at the safety and saying something to him when the ball was snapped.  The play went for big yardage right over him.  And how do you not keep that guy in front of you on that TD pass?  FUGA was playing for a field goal.  And Swift is as good a back as we'll face all year, but that O-line was way less than 100% and they whipped that ass.

I'm not on the sidelines and have no clue if something is going on.  But, could it be a situation where the defense is mailing it in the rest of the way?  Are some guys trying to protect a potential pro career?

The thing is, we were never really out of that game until the last part. (Even though it felt like it)  Very much like A&M.  I heard a stat Saturday where the D held A&M to  a little over 100 yards on their last 38 snaps of the game.  They kept it to a 2 score game until the offense decided to do something offensive.

So you are a Bill Clark fan? :bar:
Yeah.  I am.  

I know the "well what's he gonna do when he doesn't have all those juco players...' argument.  It's bogus.  He's going to win is what he's going to do.  If your argument is that he wins when he has better players, please allow me to rebut.  Saban.  But the players Bill Clark has are only slightly better at a few positions than the teams against which he competes.  

They resurrected UAB football, the team still plays in front of 17 fans, and they're 9-1 with some decent wins.  Be curious to see what they do against A&M.  I'd be curious to see what he'd do with Auburn-level talent in the SEC.  

The man knows how to coach.  He knows how to build a program.  My only knock against him would be that he's green, too.  A lot of high school work, a little at South Alabama (when they were good) a year at JSU and then UAB since -- with a year off.

When you know the offense is only going to generate somewhere between 3 and 20 points and that you're going to be on the field roughly 70% of the game wouldn't you half ass it just a little?  

Kevin Steele is going to bolt at the end of this season.  I don't blame him.  If Gus stays -- which all indications now are that he will -- there will also be a fairly significant number of transfers and I'm coming to fear that recruiting is going to take a sizable hit as well.  We're honestly getting to the point where you have to weigh the buyout against the long-term damage of keeping his clown ass around for another year or more.

Kevin Steele is going to bolt at the end of this season.  I don't blame him.  If Gus stays -- which all indications now are that he will -- there will also be a fairly significant number of transfers and I'm coming to fear that recruiting is going to take a sizable hit as well.  We're honestly getting to the point where you have to weigh the buyout against the long-term damage of keeping his clown ass around for another year or more. 
Steele just signed a 3 year, $2 million per contract.  He's one of only 3 assistants in Murrica' making that.  Unless he has a higher paying HC job lined up, I think he stays.

Speaking of Clark.  

The same Joseph Goodman who torched Gus last week wrote a piece today practically begging UAB to somehow keep him.  

Wonder why?  Afraid of something?

I remember laughing at bammer back when UAB was ranked higher.
Thanks GUS!

The thing is, we were never really out of that game until the last part. (Even though it felt like it)  Very much like A&M.  I heard a stat Saturday where the D held A&M to  a little over 100 yards on their last 38 snaps of the game.  They kept it to a 2 score game until the offense decided to do something offensive.
This! It's a 20-10 contest throughout.
The last dash for a td means nothing except to tack on from the failed fake fg. The defense is bound to give some from continually having to stop them and just having been on the field an extra 10 minutes...every game!

Our first td always comes from scripted plays...always!
From there it's a shitshow of field goal attempts and near misses.
Malzahn's offense is predicated by the run and every success he has had has been built around murdering a running back.
If we have a weak line, which we do and a non running qb, which we do -we are gonna struggle because this offensive staff can't develop anyone that isn't already a stud.
The entire football world would die to have Schwartz on its offense and we can't get him the goddamned ball.
We have others that are very good in spite of our failed passing constructs.

When the legacy Nix hits campus we have the makings of the best passing attack ANY of us has ever witnessed...and I MEAN THAT!
This is assuming of course that nobody transfers or quits which is what most of them should consider.
Think about it. Gus is given a gift from the football gods...what will he do with it?


I could rail on and on and on.

Maybe Auburn should script more plays...instead of the first 8-10 plays. I mean they do practice, right?.

No because you have to adjust in real time as a defense presents itself. 
I could see scripting 8-10 at the start of the 3rd qtr. though.

I've never seen the Nix kid but Gilmer the HC at Clay Chalkville raves about him saying he goes through all his progressions and it's a rarity that he takes a sack. Standing next to Stidham Nix looks maybe a half inch shorter and as much as 20 pounds lighter. But he's a serious baller and if we were ever gonna light it up offensively to the tune of 40+, 2019's it.

We have Pickens coming in, Stove and Hastings possibly returning plus the current roster of active receivers that have been wasted, and they are very talented.

Don't know if I can watch this opportunity dissipate into thin air all because the ptb hung us with this rigid minded bag of coachspeak.
It just can't happen.
Malzahn can't do anything with this returning talent but watch it fizzle.

I'm good with Clark because it's almost a certainty that he would see the strengths of this roster and adjust accordingly. I doubt many of our kids would defect because Clark seems a flexible, reasonable thinking human being, unlike what we now have.
If that happened it's quite possible to get Patrick Nix in some capacity on the offensive side of the ball.

There's a younger Nix on the way as well.

FWIW, Clark just signed a contract for 900k which increases to 1.15M in 2022.      Guy's a bargain.

The probability that he meets up with Jimmy Sexton in the near future is pretty high.

I told people that early in the year and they just waled on me. He is great without pressure. Put the slightest bit of pressure on him and he freaks. I'm not even sure that is fixable.
He missed Davis twice on a short crossing route. Overthrew Boobie on a short WFO pass. Throws a screen right into the defender. And then on 4th and 3, goes long for the first time  the game.

The first quarter, he actually looked good. I'm not sure what happened.
Hey Hey Hey...."WE" have told people that.....

This is also why from the Arkansas game forward last year he looked golden. The line was near perfect 2nd half of season. Bump him a little and he’s Moseley with a stronger arm all over again.

There is no sense in even talking about someone other than Gus.  TPTB have already said he will be here next season.  It will take a loss to Liberty for them to even think about getting rid of Gustard

Not so fast, my friend.

If I had to guess, I'd have to say he's coming back too.  But one thing to take into account is that while I like Greene, the fact is he was AD at Buffalo.  They could go 3-9 every season and he's not getting so much as a tersely worded email.  When he gave Gus the dreaded vote of confidence, he'd never been in charge of an Auburn program that got punked...again...by FUGA and is about to have their biggest rival go in dry. Let's see what tune he's singing when a bunch of those $1 million plus donors they scroll on the Mega Jumbotron XL 4,000 every Saturday, start wanting to have a sit down with Mr. Greene.

Well I don't think he will change his mind for next season.  The only thing that's gonna happen is if Liberty beats us, which I'm sad to say is a 50/50 chance, and then once we get destroyed by the tyde, then we lose the tampon bowl, there will be a serious sit down with gus and let him know that the 2019 season is his "last chance" to correct the problems of being an idiot, or kick bricks.

At this point it may be more important to rid of leath than Gus. Leath is who orchestrated this contract. Leath is the bozo that would do this all over again if given the chance. No sense in making a change with that chump in charge at the ready, waiting to fuck up the replacement search. 

Green is just a talking head in regards to gus’ job at this point. He will do what’s hes allowed to do.

Probably the most likely scenario. ^^ liberty not winning anyway. 

He loses to Liberty all bets are off.

Which is why there will be a sit down with gus.  That will result in chip being fired and a search for a new OC. All of this will happen because Leath wants to save face and keep his job too.
