Trooper Taylor will not be retained by new coach Gus Malzahn.

I'm really starting to get excited about Auburn football again.  Not sure why.  I guess I just feel like Malzahn is changing the culture back to something more "Auburn" like.

Start a new thread about it.  I can't keep up with breaking news amidst movie quotes and toilet jokes.

At the very least, he's going to live and/or die doing it with his people, and his way.  Got to admire that.

something more "Auburn" like.

I'd settle for something more "football" like, but I agree.

Malzahn is shaking the whole program and cleaning house.  I have no doubt he saw the issues that were plaguing the Chizik regime, and had thoughts on how to remedy them but lacked authority to do so.

Gus has been a winner at every level when he is the head man.  He wasn't my first choice, but I think we're going to be alright.

On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk

That.

And I think my true feelings about Trooper Taylor and most of Chizik's philosophies are starting to show. 

I don't like the showboating.  I don't like the buddy-buddy system.  I don't like that our recruiting was based primarily on coach-relationships and how "cool" things were. 

I remember a WR recruit a few years ago making a comment about how he didn't like Alabama because they were all business like and didn't seem to be having any fun.  He then praised Auburn because they encouraged him to enjoy himself while also working hard to be a football player. 

Forget that noise.  The program of "swag" didn't work.  It led to a 3-9 abortion of a football season.  I'm ready for adults to be running the show. 

I think we're going to get that with Gus.

You hit the nail on the head.  I remember the quote that you're talking about, because a few other recruits said the same thing not too long after that.  I made the comment that if it works for AU great, but I had a feeling that it may bite you guys in the ass down the road.  I would take a guy who knows he's going to bust ass and not have any "fun" over the guy who just wants to have fun.

In that sense, I think that the dismissal of Taylor also sends an important message to the recruits.  "Anything you knew to be under Chizik is gone.  It's time to play football."  Malzahn is killing it right now, and he's not even having to really rely on "splash" type hires, or hot new to the scene coaches to do it.  He's not doing anything flashy, and he's not being an attention whore.  He's simply making solid, rational, adult decisions.

As soon as they finish the neon-metallic paint job and half naked women pics on the Gus Bus, they're loading up and hitting the recruiting trail.

I hear ya but why not keep Troop? At least for another year would of been smart I feel. I do not understand why Foster would bail due to Troops firing because you go to play ball and get a degree. But losing the #1 LB in the country would had been well worth paying Troop   another year IMO. I support Malzahn but losing Foster is a heavy price to pay. Our D needed a stud not only to make such a impact to compliment Malzahn's high octane offense but other recruits were following suit. A warning was given not to fire Troop. Do I agree with players using Troop as a demand? No I dont! But play the cards you're dealt. The recruits used Troop against Auburn and thats wrong! So what was so wrong in keeping Troop at least long enough to sign a once great recruiting class......wait til next year and then fire him? I just dont get the logic? If Auburn football wasnt so important to me then this wouldnt bother me. But Im pissed off to no living end to see the #1 LB drop off our board.
