Yeah, I admit when I am wrong. We need to chill. Stop being the kneejerk fanbase and freaking out over everything. It's going to take time.

You know another team that doesn't have the dudes to compete? Vandy. They fought like hell today against the number 1 team in the country. Our team looked beat the second they took the field. That's just inexcusable. Getting beat by a better team? Sure. Getting run over because they don't look like they care? No.

Also, I'm clearly Butthead, Cornholio.

Vandy is in the coach’s third year. He has basically has his system in place.
CHF is putting his system in place. The players will get it, or maybe not. But it would make no sense for him to change the system just to eek out a few wins this season and still be behind next season. So this is definitely our rebuild year. If we had greater expectations, our bad…
This is a pass first system with QBs and WRs who can’t seem to get it. Hopefully when they finally get it, we will excel.

I'm trying so hard to stay out of this.  But then I run across stats like this:


50 carries for 225 yards for Thorne for 4.5 ypc/ 2 TDs
57 carries for 218 yards for Hunter for 3.8 ypc/ 3 TDs
32 carries for 155 yards for Ashford for 4.8 ypc/ 5 TDs

Those are your leading rushers through six games. 

Don't try to sell me a turd sandwich about "getting his guys" or "learning his scheme" or "doesn't have the talent" or any of that.  Yeah, that's some of it.  BUT ... and it's an enormous BUT (like ass, get it?)

This is on par with the worst-coached Auburn teams in history.  The coaching to this point has been abysmal. I don't think that's deniable at this point.  It's a capital F failure.

Nobody wants to hear that.  Nobody wants to admit it. But it's true.

I hear you.  We have too many running back options that the two QBs are that high on the stats chart. 

Caddy for interim the rest of the season.

Jesus, K.

Still looks better than Auburn’s offense, I suppose. Seeing Thorne trot out there time and again with the same result every time, with the exception of 1 drive, is the biggest case of dumbassery I’ve seen in quite some time. Every score we got in that game was because of the threat of Robby Ashford.

For anyone saying he can’t pass… neither can Thorne to this point. At least Robby stretched the field and connected from deep with Frazier (who deserves more PT).

Starting pass catchers IMO should be:

Brown, Burton/Fair, Fairweather, Malcom Johnson Jr

We talk about round holes, square pegs and learning a system but each week should be about how we are going to beat our opponent.

And when our offense actually makes LSU's defense better its not the players who are at fault but the system. Proof of that was the disgusting look on the faces of our running backs each time they were stuffed.

We don't have to pretend we need three years of recruiting to have the personnel available to install the fucking wishbone. We are simply recruiting upgrades at every skill level.

Depending on the opponent, you have to gameplan WITH WHAT YOU HAVE for battle.
We don't do that.

I'm not talking wholesale changes. It's not calculus, it's four quarters of football. And any video game has offerings that allow you to negate, neutralize and overcome your opponent's strengths.

It's amazing what you can do with a fucking stick and a rock.
The effort is clearly there but the leadership seems to be clearly overwhelmed just by judging the look on Freeze's face as he peers at his playcard and the doofusses as well in the booth above.

The players don't intend to win because the coaches are prepared to lose.
It's just that simple.

How many times do we have to watch the same movie? 

- Gonna let my coaches coach
- need to be more involved with the gameplan
- all the play calls run through me, I can make changes
- going to have more input in the play calls
- really unhappy with the gameplan
- take over playcalling
- let my coaches coach
- be more hands on
- take over playcalling
- gonna find the right fit for OC

I’m fairly disappointed. Recruiting is good, but it’s not gonna stick with the current trajectory of on the field product. I’m just a guy that watches the game and I definitely don’t get paid for my opinion… but it just seems super fucking obvious that this offense moves better with Ashford. Just roll with him and we will win some games. The Thorne experiment has failed and enrages the hell out of me.

Agree kids will not want to play for a loser. And as far back as I can remember Auburn could always run the ball, even when the offensive line was undersized and or lacking in depth, even with a game manager post Pat Sullivan.
The personnel dictated the style of offense Auburn ran and the staff could get a little inventive at times by adding a few wrinkles. Freeze seems hellbent on repeating the same and expecting different results.

That was my biggest issue with Saturday night, and in the FUGA game, for that matter.  Ashford seems to be getting work did, but every time he does something positive, they run Thorne out there the next 3 series. 

I'm not going to be a hippo-crit. I said openly, that I thought Robbie was ass coming into this season.  There were times last year that he was Kadril/Fetal level ass, if not worse.  But, there were also a few bright spots, namely in the LSU and Bama games.  Could he improve under a new staff?  He certainly has the tools.  But, how do you tell if you keep giving Captain Mullet the ball?

I know, the back up QB is oftentimes the most popular guy on the team.  But, we're going into game #7 and it's painfully obvious that Thorne ain't the man.

That C on his chest should stand for coach.  Get a clipboard and grab some bench. 

At least Robby had 200-300 yard passing games in an Auburn uniform last year against the same level of defensive competition.  He is the only one connecting on clutch big passing plays in SEC games this year, too.  My head is going to explode if I keep seeing #1 run out there and stall drive after drive, only to let Robby come in & move the offense... then to yank him back out for #1 to stall on the opposing side of the field.  Fuck that noise.

 Meh. The best drive of the day was when PT got us to the RZ and Robby finished.
Robby will move the ball maybe two drives. After that, the cork will go back in the bottle.
But I’m all for giving him a shot. At least it will settle some conversations one way or the other.

I think what's funny, is as morbid as we've looked this year, if Tennessee somehow beats Bama Saturday, which ain't that much of a stretch, Auburn won't even be mentioned.  It will be, "Saybinz done lost it."  "The game done passed him by."  "We needs to burn this shit down and start over."

Consistency and rhythm can’t be established with the revolving door at QB AND WR. It’s science. Yet, in the postgame presser he doubled down and said he will continue to utilize the strangely timed rotation.

These reporters need to start asking the hard questions.

Do you have press credentials with your past experience, Six?

K, with your writing history, could you get press credentials?

Hugh needs to start feeling the pressure. There should never be such a thing as a throw away season when take home pay is in the millions. Some of the decisions are so baffling that it makes the twirly bird look a pube hair short of genius.

I don't and, even if I did, there's no way Auburn would allow any difficult questions to get within a massage table of HF or this program. They've fully insulated all of it to the point that there is no dissention allowed. It's how he wants it, demands it. It's a masterclass in propaganda. Filmed with his grandkids, bragging about switching up the practice schedule, reclaiming part of the play calling (the Robby part, apparently). All of that carefully planned and executed.

The good news is this won't last for long. It'll either get turned around in a year (maybe two) or he'll be gone along with a lot of others. They will be replaced with another group of people who aren't any different. Rinse repeat. Is what it is.

I don't have the connections any longer.

You don't want me on that wall.  I've never liked the hire and every week that passes hardens that in me. Besides, I think people are coming around. I saw a brutal piece on al.com after I write my "things that are ass" morning missive that hit on some of the same things that baffle me -- like the fact that nobody on this team has improved at all. 

I didn't know about the booing. I heard that there was some, but the al.com piece made it sound like the boos where shaking the stadium.  Frankly?  It's deserved. Any one of us could do a better job than what we're seeing.

This. Yes we have lost to three teams that are deeper and more talented but Freeze should not be able to hide behind his own self styled built-in excuses.
Last night we reached yet another key opportunity to advance the ball and Freeze elects to substitute en masse which eliminates that chance. Team is penalized. His fault.

I just don't see much difference in what Freeze did last night and what Pittman did earlier against State.
Kiffen might be better at calling plays but it was the situational running by Dart that was the difference in the game. Freeze's job as a playcaller is to create open space for positive results.
Ole Miss didn't need to convert on third down to achieve this so why can't Freeze be more freewheeling with his play selection. There's no lesson to be learned by being predictable.

I'm about to spike some Warn Meters up in this bitch.

I don't pretend to know the dynamics of how the offensive game plans are formed, and who exactly is calling and/or approving the plays.  I know I have been consistent since the start of the season in questioning the lack of any rhyme or reason with regard to that. 

But, Saturday night was mind boggling.  Folks, we only had 4 first downs late in the 4th quarter. And so much of it was because on 3rd down after 3rd down, the common cry from the stands was, "That's all you've got?" Eventually, the repeat performances of running straight into the middle of the line on another 3rd and 7, turned into boos.  And rightfully so.

The last two drives of the game that resulted in an interception and a TD, saw Auburn actually moving the ball, mostly through the air.  I heard many say, well that was because Ole Miss was playing soft.  However, look at the plays they were running. Short to intermediate pass plays that are a staple of just about every team in the country.  We only run them in desperation.

I completely acknowledge that there has been a gap in overall talent between our guys, and the last 4 teams we've played.  And from what I've seen from this staff so far on the cruitin' trail, we should be able to close that gap sooner than later. But right now, it's just plain frustrating to get beat, due in large part to such head scratching use of the talent we do have.

I bet you I boo’d louder than you boo’d.

I keep reverting back to this… our offense was better last year with arguably worse players. An inaccurate QB with a bum shoulder throwing for 300 yds in some games. WRs either still on the roster or deemed not worth retaining through NIL that got more separation than this bunch (which have been highly productive in previous years at other schools).

Something stinks. And it ain’t the asses pictured in this thread.

Therein lies tne problem. 

We've seen teams with worse talent be far more productive than this.  Is there any confidence that other than just "out-athleting" teams (possibly, maybe) at some point in the future, that the complete, baffling cluster hump we see week after week won't just continue?

This offense -- and cut the crap about waiting on players because many of the ones on the field are "his" guys poached from the portal -- is worse than ANYTHING I've ever seen.  Ever.  It's by far the worst college football offense I've ever witnessed. It's worse than the worst high school football team I remember seeing.  What is being built? What is being improved?

Charlatan. Fraud. Those were my terms and nothing has budged me from that one iota.

New theory drops: Hugh is sabotaging the offense to make a case for 5-star playing time.


Class of 2025 5-star Caleb Cunningham saw the need at WR and the ability to make an immediate impact during his first visit to Auburn (VIP).

Not buying it. Sure, his emphasis has been heavily shifted to the direction of recruiting and I’m glad that it is. I wish he had not made the comment about not thinking about the game until 30 min before. But I am glad that he is hyper focused on recruiting.

The way that Hager left us, I actually do think it should take priority. Proof of concept is not the priority, in this case. He has some history to point toward.

If AU doesn’t make bowl eligible? I may be moving in with Kaos. I think he will let me. Maybe for a little while.

It's a different age.  Players are taking different things into account now than back when it was all about suiting up for ole State U. NIL, for one.

But his comment made me think back to Saturday night.  It was the start of the 4th quarter, and you all know how we had looked to that point.  But, that places was rocking, and I specifically noticed the Cruitin' Section was still 75%, or 214/298ths full.  Not only that, but they were all dancing that ass off.  I couldn't help but think that some of them were saying the same thing.  I could see myself playing in this atmosphere.

 :wtf:JMAR? How could you give me a thumbs down?👎 This.

1. You of all people should know that I am one of the onliest persons on here that knows what in the fuck I am talking about.

It’s not like I don’t have extensive knowledge and experience to back up what I say.

And b, I don’t think you have ever questioned me. So, why start now?

I tell you, man. I hope you won’t be getting as contrarian as Kaos in your golden years.

Get a grip. I agree with you bc 7 out of 10 times in the past we lost high profile recruits with the same opportunity to start only to lose them to UGA, Clemson, Alabama and others when those programs were stacked at that position.
And our NIL money suddenly isn't any better than theirs.

Kids still want to play for a winner that gives them the exposure they crave.

So if Ashford wants to play like his childhood days he must still have that feeling of being bottled up in this "system." He was happy that Finley is no longer dominating the QB room but he is still frustrated by not having the opportunity to throw the ball around the yard like he knows he can. Freeze has stated that Ashford is the best athlete that he has ever had at the QB position and if he really believes this why is Finley not progressing?
Thorne has regressed from his previous seasons of success under Freeze and Montgomery.

So given that... I have to conclude that Freeze and Montgomery are insistent that their offense can't be altered beyond the QB pulling the ball down and running it in desperation.

The bottom line is, one of us needs to see if we can talk Doug Barfield into coming back.

Barfield wasn't scared to try something different. He knew Brooks could do damn near anything on a football field. What he failed to notice was the pass catching ability of William Andrews whom he used mostly as a blocking back for Cribbs within the veer.
Byron Franklin was the best receiver and Doug would  move Brooks to wide receiver some and use some gimmick plays to get more out if the offense which had challenges across the offensive line in size, talent and depth.

Much easier for Freeze with a multiple offense to adjust than it was for Barfield with the veer.

One thing Ashford needs to do, is run the play that's called.  The very first play of the OM game was supposed to be a straight hand off to Cobb, but Ashford either forgot, or decided to take off on his on. 2 yard loss. Freeze was not happy.

Or maybe they both forget which was right and left? We are talking about 18-20 year old dudes here. They are barely beyond dragging knuckles at that point in life.

Man, he thinks he’s personal friends with Robby’s momma because some drunk lady stopped by his BiL’s tailgate and claimed to be. Just go along with it and humor him. He’s old and craves the attention.

That lady worked for the contractor that cleans up after games. You were soused and she saw an opportunity for free ripple. You don’t know Robby’s mom.

Boujee like Natty in the styrofoam, squeak squeakin' in the truck bed all the way home.  Some Alabama-jamma, she's my Dixie Land Delight.  That's how we do, how we do, fancy like...
