:facepalm:
The defense played a fantastic game. The best Auburn defense I've seen since maybe the 2010 NC game.
Offense? A three-legged buffalo humping a tree stump.
Gus (or Lashless, whoever) is absolutely, completely, utterly and irretrievably fucking LOST. The decisions, the gameplan, the execution, the vision, the flow was abysmal. Yeah, THANKS Gus for taking the offense back over. Nothing about that was worth a dimpled shit on a pat of butter.
My biggest fear before the season was his talk about being more involved was just that: Talk. He looked lost last season and if it's even possible, he looked even more lost this game. There was nothing about that cluster fuck that evoked confidence. If I were playing in that buttfuck of a shitswirl I would ask to transfer out.
No offensive identity. Nothing established. No confidence. There are no words to express just how horrible that was. It was absolutely horrendous.
I will tell you this. You could take me, Jumbo, dallas and Snaggle and give us a week. We'd have won that game. It was imminently winnable and it's an absolute, abject failure that Gus failed to put any semblance of a cohesive offense on the field to do so.
It was as bad a coaching performance as I've seen since the days when Doug Barfield wore a houndstooth polo collar.

Anything Gus says other than "I no longer have a clue what I'm doing" is hot air and horseshit.

I would have stayed with one Fucking quarterback.

Can't win the president, but YEA,I could have done better.

I would've gone with JF3 and rotated RBs, instead of QBs. The OL got their shit pushed, especially at Center and Right Tackle...those 3* linemen.

The worst part is the letting one (qb) seemingly halfway get in a groove or flow and then simply pulling them. It made no sense. It was like he was playing a video game for shits n giggles fucking around.
That said, I still love this fucking town. The people. The game day experience. Driving down Samford on Friday evening or sat morning. Or college street. Or wire rd. or Donahue. And seeing our fans setup having a blast with families. Smoke bellowing from afar. Smelling charcoal or the meat of the day. Sipping on cold ones telling great stories. That is still good shit and I'm gonna still keep doing it regardless. Gus and his lack of sense at the moment won't derail that. Maybe we will be ole miss now and never lose a tailgate.

Kaos is accurate in his description. It's actually worse.
Don't expect another highly rated QB to willingly volunteer for this mindfuck which is Gushlee. This high school coach can only handle an option QB. Kerryon IS far more effective with the threat of JF III keeping the ball.
Nothing to say about Hand's boys other than it's a makeshift group with two good players.
The defense looks to be top twenty. Vastly improved! Our lack of offense will likely have us far lower in ranking as the season drags on though for having to stay on the field so much.
This program needs new leadership.

Don't invite Gus, as you walk to the grill to turn the meat over he will replace you.

The funny thing is Gus stands up and sells us this shit sandwhich then expects us all to take a huge bite and cheer. Well fuck you Gus it's time to take your 3 qb system and shove it up your ass.

I can't root for the coach to be fired. I have no faith in the administration and powers that be to make it any better on the next hire. They'd probably go after the OC from East Mississippi CC or something. No, just weather the storm. It'll pass. Eventually.

Administrators from Springdale, Arkansas wouldn't have him back had they watched any of that last night..at least not as an O.C.

Then root for Jay Jacobs to be fired too.
And put your money where your mouth is. I attended the Jacksonville State game last year thinking I would attend 3-4 games last season. I didn't attend any more after that.
I won't attend any games this season.
Granted, I'm just a peon buying scrub tickets from scalpers. I have no power. But those with season tickets and those who buy significant amounts of merch need to lead this charge.

It's not brain surgery.

Are you sure? Because it looks like Gus may have had a lobotomy.

Awesome, let's run more of that, plays that average 4 yards in high school will surely do the same against D1 talent...
I know this isn't a good thing to say, but if QB Jeremy Johnson and RT Robert Leff were to get hurt for the season it wouldn't be a bad thing. Sometimes HCs need to be forced to make the right decision and getting those two off the field would be a step in the right direction.

The single best description I've seen of the truly offensive shit show that was on display.
-

Nothing permanent, just enough to force the coaches to make the needed decision. Jeremy Johnson does not need to see the field again. He should've transferred to a college that will actually teach him how to be an effective QB. If I was a highly touted QB and Auburn offered me a full scholarship, I'd frame the offer letter (because I'm an Auburn fan), but I would not consider them as my next level destination. I'd rather go somewhere that can teach & help me be a better QB...same goes if I was a TE.
I know it was just the first game and everything, but the QB play is nearly the same as last year...as is the play calling, minus the new 360 degree spin play that averaged 0 yards on 4 attempts.

A lot of Kerryon Johnson's big gains at RB were because the defense had to respect JF3's running ability on the zone read.

Too bad JF3 isn't better in the passing game.
Hell, at this point how bad would it be putting Woody Barrett in the game?

Is there any room for him? You can only have eleven on the field at a time. If you put four quarterbacks out there, and five linemen you can only maybe have one back and one receiver. That would be a stupid formation. But three quarterbacks? Yeah. That makes sense.

Easily done.
QB Sean White
RB Kerryon Johnson
WR 1 one of the Davises
WR 2 JF3
WR 3 Woody Barrett
TE/HB Jeremy Johnson
Then your 5 OLinmen
Have Sean snap the ball as Woody is in motion left to right
Pich the ball to Woody
Have Woody spin 180 degrees
Have him spin another 270 degrees
Have him spin again for another 180 degrees
Then he throws it to JF3 across the field
JF3 then takes off down the field...
JF3 fakes that he's going to take off...
JF3 thinks about faking that he's...
Delay of game
(Malzahn is seen on the sidelines grimacing because the most complicated play he has ever out thought himself with can't get the snap off, because the guy holding up the cardboard sign ran out of pictures to hold up and he had to resort to pictonary tactics).

I'm going to say this again.
I've coached in games where we looked at the opposition, saw what we were up against and privately decided that we could not line up and beat them. We were an option team primarily but did it out of the offset I. Once we put in the wishbone before we played a much better team. Still lost, but we kept it close enough to win. Another time we put in a pass heavy package that relied on bubble screens and slants. Beat the fuck out of a team that we should have lost to.
At no time, though, did our ENTIRE offense consist of monkeyshit trick plays.
Changing the offense? That's what you do when you honestly believe you have vastly inferior talent to the team you're playing and that's the only chance you have to win. You do it because you believe it gives you the best chance to win.
That was not the case Saturday. That tomfoolery denied us the opportunity to win.

And at some point the D is gonna do what they did in 2008. They are gonna say what's the use.

Sure hope not. That would be brutal to watch.
Unfortunately, if Gus doesn't scrap what he did Saturday, pick a QB and go with him the whole way, I can see this weekend looking a lot like UT vs. Appy. Then you have the Faggies and LSU chomping at the bit to come to JHS and embarrass the Tigahs.

He's not going to scrap it.
He's smarter than you. He makes $4 million a year. He drives a BMW 14b. There's only one in the whole world. He takes helicopters from the field to pick up his wallet at home when he forgets it (which isn't often because it weighs 109 pounds).
We are in big, big trouble. Everybody sees it but the people who can actually impact it. Jacalzhlee.

Unfortunately many of these red flags were seen/re-seen back in July and August before the debacle on offense happened Saturday.

This quote from Kevin Skrudinski summed it all up perfectly for me.
"Auburn's offensive approach in its rather important season opener against No. 2 Clemson didn't come across as an ingenious game plan from a once-respected guru. Instead it more closely resembled a fingerpainting splashed together by an entire kindergarten class."

That is some serious disrespect to kindergartens all across this land.

Venables just tweeted a photo of the tip he got about the Auburn offensive "gameplan." Apparently one of the players emailed a friend a copy of Lashlee drawing up plays.

Look. We've already got four quarterbacks on the field with Barrett in there. You add Watson and it just becomes water ballet. People spinning around everywhere.
Seriously. At what point did he really think that 1A high school shit was going to work?
-
I'm the lone voice in the wilderness that actually feels better after the game than I did before it.
Like everyone but apparently Gus and Rhett, I do recognize the 3 QB rotation was an utter failure, and Johnson particularly has no business ever seeing the field again.
I was ok with JF3 getting the snaps he did to mix it up a bit. He may not have done shit but hand the ball off, but for whatever reason it was working. But if all of Johnson's snaps were given to White, we would have beaten the #2 team in the country. Even in spite of that, we were in striking distance. Two on-target passes to the endzone that could have each won the game if not for being perfectly defended. Few out there thought we'd be in the same zip code as Clemson by the end of the game. Herbstreit was laughed at for saying it might be kinda a sort of close game with us losing. Everyone else said it would be over by halftime.
The fact that everyone else in the SEC (besides Bama, of fucking course) looked at least as much like shit as we did gives me hope. When I was predicting 4 wins, that was before realizing just about everyone else was gonna be as bad as we are. Now IF, and it's a huge IF, Gus can have the fucking humility to see that Jeremy Johnson was a huge fucking bust, and that White was constantly on the verge of getting in a rhythm before getting yanked, and needs to be THE guy, then we can easily unfuck this situation, IMO. But like I said, huge if. Not sure Gus is up to it. I hope he is. This defense is good enough to carry us with a competent offense.

Right after saying that:
https://www.seccountry.com/auburn/live-blog-auburn-coach-gus-malzahn-addresses-media-after-home-opener
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn didn’t come away with a victory in their home opener against Clemson, but they still managed to impress.
The home Tigers held Heisman candidate Deshaun Watson and his dynamic offense to just 19 points, and even had a couple of last-second chances for another Miracle on the Plains.
Here’s what head coach Gus Malzahn said following the loss.
Quick recap of Saturday: “After watching the film they played even better than I thought.â€
On the offense: “Plan was to play three quarterbacks, we thought it would be successful, but obviously it wasn’t.â€
Malzahn says moving forward sophomore Sean White will be the starting quarterback.
Junior college transfer John Franklin III will be the backup QB for Auburn.
Defensive back Stephen Roberts will play in Saturday’s game after missing the home opener.
About Arkansas State: “Outstanding head coach, one of the up and coming guys, in Blake Anderson. This is a team that has won the Sun Belt title four of the last five years.â€
Malzahn says plan was to throw three different quarterbacks at Clemson’s defense. Each player had different skills sets that Malzahn felt could be successful.
“We’re bringing John along with the offense. When he was in there we moved the ball pretty well. That was his first time to be out there and we thought he handled himself really well.â€
On Jeremy Johnson: “There is a lot that happens when someone looks tentative. There were a few protection issues that broke down that we thought would be more open.â€
On the red zone: “We thought there would be some running opportunities for Jeremy to run the ball, that didn’t happen.â€
Malzahn says Kam Pettway, “will have more of a role next game.â€
On Kerryon Johnson: “He earned a lot of his yards after contact, I was very encouraged by him.â€
On Sean White: “He’s a tough guy. He took some licks, he hung in there. He did an outstanding job, took a big lick.â€
Right now, moving forward Sean White will be our starter and John Franklin will be our No. 2 guy.
On the offense: “We were curious about a few guys at each position. We had some guys who had switched positions or were playing for the first time. We’ll continue learning more going forward.â€
“The positive is we can play with anybody in the country, that’s what we learned Saturday night.â€
On freshmen receivers: “Both of those guys (Kyle Davis and Nate Craig-Myers) you’ll see a lot more. We’re trying to gradually bring them along, but both of them when they were in there, they did some really good things.â€
“Rudy Ford is electric with the ball in his hands, you see that on kickoff returns.â€
On Kam Martin and Jalen Harris: “Kam is a guy that can help and possibly get in the game this week. Jalen Harris did an outstanding job for us.â€
On game planning: “What you do is put a plan together. Obviously it wasn’t successful like I thought it would be, but we’ll fix that going forward.â€
“We’re a very close team. We’ll get behind Sean, we’ll bring John franklin along and we’ll be fine. As far as any negativity internally, there will be zero.â€
On offensive line: “We’re talking about a pretty good defensive line who did some things that we hadn’t seen before. In the second half I think we made some changes and out gamed them.â€
On close games: “Any time you have experiences, each year is a new team, new leaders, unless you have everybody coming back. The fact that we drove down and had two shots in the end zone… the reality is we have a real solid team and I think we have a chance to be really good.â€
On Arkansas State coach Trooper Taylor: “He’s got a great personality, a great family. His son is a big time player, too.â€
On wildcat formation with Chandler Cox: “I thought it would unfold better than it did, obviously, but he did that in high school. We’ll see where that goes. He’s a guy we wanted to get touches.
Wide receiver/kicker Will Hastings: “Will has some natural ability, two big third down catches. For a new guy you worry that the moment is too big. Obviously that wasn’t the case. He’s a quick guy, a fast guy.â€
On offensive production: “We’re going to try to move the ball any way you can.â€
On John Franklin III: “He’s an inexperienced guy, now he has some experience. We’ll see how the season unfolds as far as he’s concerned. He moved the football when he was out there. For the first time out there I think he did a solid job.â€
“We felt like there would be some opportunities on the edge with WR Stanton Truitt. That first game is always about adjustments. We thought we could get on the perimeter, but they did a good job.â€
On his time as the head coach at Arkansas State: “It was a special time for me there. They gave me a chance to be a head coach. The athletic director, fans, everyone treated me wonderfully. I have some special memories there.â€
Hope he actually does this.

Take any loss from last season and read the same thing.

That is why I am more pisssed off then before. Look if Gus had put us in a position to win and we lost, well shit things happen. We didn't execute whatever.
We win that game if he picks one QB (White) maybe JFIII. What I don't understand is the game plan wasn't working the whole entire fucking stadium could see that, why couldn't he? That 4th and 1 on our own 5 and he trots JJ out I said aloud well here comes a rush up the middle by JJ. That wasn't guessing everyone knew what was coming.
I have it on good authority that Pettway took more snaps than Kerryon Johnson during practice last week and then what....doesn't play him?
(I'm not yelling at you) WE HAD 43 FUCKING YARDS AT HALFTIME, WITH 1 RUSHING YARD. I THINK I COULD GET ! RUSHING YARD. What does Gus do? comes out with the same game plan. You can't bring a player in on 1st and 2nd down then ask Sean to come in and throw and try to bail you out. Everyone was complaining about our OLine and I was disappointed as well but I don't think they are as bad as advertised the offensive gameplan was that fucked, you bring White in on 3rd and 8 they know he is going to pass the ball.
That whole loss was on Gus no one else, and I think that is what pisses everyone off because it was such a bumble fuck of epic proportions. At the beginning of the year I would have said nothing less than an 0-8 SEC appearance would get Gus fired. I take that back I think if we end up at 7-6 with his mind fucking offense his ass will be gone and might be before the end of the year. I also have it on good authority that that the Auburn President (who knew he even watched football) was highly embarrassed. That we had a QB Recruit who's dad said WTF was that you don't need to play here.
And at the end of it all you have Gus saying, we played great, look what we did against the #2 team in the nation. Why can't he just stand up and say look we as coaches didn't do a good job of preparing the kids. Not we had a plan and I think the plan is going to work, when everyone, and I do mean everyone knew that isn't the case. Don't feed me chicken shit and tell me it's chicken salad.

We win that game if he picks one QB (White) maybe JFIII. What I don't understand is the game plan wasn't working the whole entire fucking stadium could see that, why couldn't he? That 4th and 1 on our own 5 and he trots JJ out I said aloud well here comes a rush up the middle by JJ. That wasn't guessing everyone knew what was coming.
I have it on good authority that Pettway took more snaps than Kerryon Johnson during practice last week and then what....doesn't play him?
(I'm not yelling at you) WE HAD 43 FUCKING YARDS AT HALFTIME, WITH 1 RUSHING YARD. I THINK I COULD GET ! RUSHING YARD. What does Gus do? comes out with the same game plan. You can't bring a player in on 1st and 2nd down then ask Sean to come in and throw and try to bail you out. Everyone was complaining about our OLine and I was disappointed as well but I don't think they are as bad as advertised the offensive gameplan was that fucked, you bring White in on 3rd and 8 they know he is going to pass the ball.
That whole loss was on Gus no one else, and I think that is what pisses everyone off because it was such a bumble fuck of epic proportions. At the beginning of the year I would have said nothing less than an 0-8 SEC appearance would get Gus fired. I take that back I think if we end up at 7-6 with his mind fucking offense his ass will be gone and might be before the end of the year. I also have it on good authority that that the Auburn President (who knew he even watched football) was highly embarrassed. That we had a QB Recruit who's dad said WTF was that you don't need to play here.
And at the end of it all you have Gus saying, we played great, look what we did against the #2 team in the nation. Why can't he just stand up and say look we as coaches didn't do a good job of preparing the kids. Not we had a plan and I think the plan is going to work, when everyone, and I do mean everyone knew that isn't the case. Don't feed me chicken shit and tell me it's chicken salad.
I've said from the start that we have as much talent as anyone in the country. For the first time...and yes, this is the first time I've really felt this way...I feel like we have a head coach that has no clue how to use it. I honestly didn't read anything into last season. Kind of the perfect storm of things going wrong. But Gus recognized that and said he's getting back to what he does best. Okay, I can live with that. Let's see what happens.
But what he did Saturday night....let me see if I can put it this way. Since Malzahn got here, I've defended the guy against, and even laughed at all the detractors that said he's just a high school coach running a gimmicky offense. How do you watch what he did Saturday night and try to say anything different with a straight face? But then, even HS teams don't pull that garbage for 4 quarters.
I've long since stopped getting worked up over the "State of Auburn football". I love being passionate about it during the games and texting a few hearty "WTF's" to some of you assholes. But like GH said earlier, I'm still going regardless because I love Auburn and the game day experience. (Not this weekend. It's mini's birthday and I'm taking him fishing in Destin) I just hate that it appears CGM may have, as they say, forgotten how to coach. I see this weekend as being very telling as to whether he really, truly recognizes that what went on Saturday was a complete and utter brain fart on his part. If he comes out doing anything resembling his "plan" for the Clemson game, I fear a coaching search will soon be in order.

Empty seats in the stadium gets the PTB attention very quick. Bad season and the whole upper deck could be very empty by the last game.

CKS:
Kevin Steele said Auburn played 11 defensive linemen against Clemson 'and they all played well.'
That will pay dividends!
-
Our Problem this year is the same as last year.
WE DON'T HAVE A QB
You can name a starter and stick with him, you can play 2, you can play 3, but at the end of the day none of them are SEC caliber stars.
We were given no chance to win the Clemson game. Our Coaches know we don't have a QB capable of beating Clemson. They tried to "trick" their way to victory. Had it worked they would be geniuses. It didn't and they are goats.
At the end of the day, I went into the stadium hoping we would not get skull fucked. I thought our defense would be better and it was much better. I left the stadium after seeing us take the #2 team in the country down to the wire. Not happy, but not pissed either.

What I needed to hear from Gus to make Saturday palatable
I screwed up. This is all on me. I had a gameplan I thought would work and one that I really thought would maximize our strengths, but it simply didn't work. That's 100% on my shoulders. Those men fought their tails off and they did their best to execute what we told them to do. You can't fault a single person in that locker room for their effort.
We did a poor job of getting the quarterbacks ready to play. That's going to change or people will be held accountable. We did a poor job of putting our players in a position to succeed. That's going to change or people will be held accountable.
And now the fantasy section of what I needed to hear:
There will never be another Saturday like that. If there is, I will walk to this podium and resign on the spot. I cannot in good conscience continue to fail this team at that level. And I won't.
Effective immediately, Rhett Lashlee has been transferred to Auburn Concessions. He will be handling weiners in the pressbox during games. We have hired June Jones and Dan Hawkins as assistant coaches. We've also added Bryan Harsin and Matt Campbell to the staff. Sorry Boise State and Toledo, and apologies also to Kodi Burns who is being switched from quarterback to receiver -- I mean assistant to graduate assistant.
My godson Jeremy Johnson will be at my home during games watching my kids and walking the dogs.
What we got instead
That was the plan. How many times do I have to say it? That was the plan. I didn't see anything wrong with it. That was the plan. You going to keep asking me the same questions? That was the plan. I already said, that was the fucking plan. So yeah, fuck you. It was the plan. What? You don't like it? Well it was the fucking plan, so deal with it.

To me what he said was in the way of somebody who doesn't actually apologize but says "I'm sorry you're mad."
And no, I'm not ready to move on from the abortion that was shoved out on Saturday. That was inexcusable and humiliating.

Agree to disagree, Sean White is more than capable if given a chance.
He isn't allowed to run the zone read....he isn't allowed to call audibles. He can read a defense and has told the coaches that the play is not going to work and has been told to "run the play."
-

Just how big a boy are ya?

This boggles the mind. As a former coach of younger guys, this is a coach's dream. Have a guy out there that sees it and gets it!

+1.
White is an SEC quarterback. He's not Cam Newton. Y'all gotta realize that train ain't coming back to the station for a long, long time.
He is at least a Chris Todd. He is on par with whatever douche-du-jour Bama always has under center. He is an accurate passer and appears to be able to make good decisions. Is not a complete statue in the backfield either. Running isn't going to ever be a first option, but it's a last resort in his arsenal.
I'm FINE with White, so long as he's allowed to get into a rhythm.

Kaos: Not good enough
You set a specific set of demands that he MUST say to be Kaos-approved, he met them, almost as if he was replying directly to your post, and you're still pissed. It directly defied your characterization of "what we got".

oh dear, did i break wind?
...on a side note not that i don't disagree with your assesment. in fairness, i believe Kaos wrote that between pressers...unless he didn't.

THIS is fair criticism. It shouldn't have taken him after halftime, let alone after the game itself, let alone a couple days later after watching film, to realize this. Not if he's worth his paycheck. Every dipshit with an Auburn shirt in their closet realized it well before he did, apparently.

Yes. Yes I fucking did.
I had only seen the post-game combative snarky "that was the plan, bitch" conference.

Here's the latest quote from CGM on the QB rotation this past Saturday. I'm starting to think the man is unstable.
"Well first of all, there's not going to be any of that nonsense, like ... in 2008," Malzahn said. "We're a very close team and we'll go, we'll get behind Sean we're going to bring John Franklin along and we're going to be fine.
"So as far as any kind of negativity internally, there will be zero."

Look, I hope they get better to, life for everybody is better when Auburn is good. But lets look at the facts. We have had 3 years of Gus with no quarter back development. We have gone backwards in offensive production, I think our last SEC win was in 2014, USCe.

And to make matters worse he's making so much money he forgot how to coach.

Ran across this.
As sad as it makes me, we were having the exact same conversations two years ago that we are today.
OL problems.
Lack of a running game.
Baffling personnel decisions (particularly at RB)
Playing injured players.
No backups.
Inferior QB play.
Hope we can make a bowl.
*sigh*
