Post it. I want to share it on the bunker when rice askswho could we get better than Gus.
Lulz..I wish you guys were on the bunker

Don't have access to it right now. A tweet from David Hale with ESPN. Had some nice numbers on Stidham too.
Because they for years played in the shittiest division of all of college football. I am not a Gus apologist but they don’t have near the resume as us as far as quality wins go.
As opposed to playing in the mighty West. Where four of the other six schools fired coaches in that time frame. It could be argued that Gus's "success" on paper is misleading.
They play LSU and UGA everywhere. FSU. They’ve played bama 2-3 times over that stretch. I think the stat is quite telling even if our schedule has probably been slightly tougher.
Lulz. Easiest bait I ever set
I am not certain if that one yet. I need to see MooU play an SEC game but it's possible there combination of players and coaches is better than ours at a few positions.
Much like his recruiting efforts, Gus' record isn't as good as it appears as first glance.
Didn't read hook properly the first time.
“ even Dabo wasn't consistent in year 6 at Clemson(Clemsoning was still a thing)”.
Rice nugget of the day for me. Dabo went 32-8 in seasons 3-5 at Clemson. Gus went 25-15. Also, Dabo won 10 games in year 3 and has accomplished that every season since. Man Rice is special.

If you question him on it he will say “it’s just the ACC”..and thats a little true but it’s still impressive and doesn’t negate the mediocre soup gus gives us each year.
Dabo is a great program builder but he's still got his own dumb dumb Gus moments. Losing to syracuse last year was fuggin inexcusible and should have knocked clemson out of hte playoff.
I don't think Gus would be accomplishing what Dabo is doing at clemson, but I also don't think Dabo would be half as successful if he was at AU

That makes no sense to me. If you don’t believe Dabo is a championship coach after the last 7 years, you must not think there is but one decent coach in the entire country.
no. I just think that of the "big" programs out there that AU is probably one of the hardest to win at. Going against UGA and Saban in 2 weeks every year is difficult, and if you win then you have to still win the SEC title game. It's just rough. Most other programs have their most difficult games spread out more. AU has doesn't. I don't think Dabo would've won a title at AU and I think Clemson has had some really fortuitous roads to the finals. Dude lost to Syracuse and still made it to the cfb playoff.
Well if he was only half as successful at Auburn he’d be worse than Gus. Maybe I took what you said too literally. Regardless, Tubs and Chiz managed it pre playoffs. Gus managed it but choked in the big game. No reason in the world why Dabo couldn’t have if he had been here the last ten years.
All it comes down to is recruiting, and there are several coaches out there able to build a consistent OL/DL and backfield on the merits of 2 natty appearances, 2 SEC titles and 1 natty in a 4-year span.
Gus just impressively found a way to fvck it all right in the pooper with abysmal personnel decisions... both on his staff and with his recruits/roster.
Just started a thread saying that if Saban had benched Tua earlier we wouldn't be stuck with Gus's awful contract. Wish me luck gang.
I read it and you’re probably right. It was just impossible to sit a guy who scored on his last possession in the MNC game and didn’t lose until game 12 the following season. I still wish xCDC had somehow hacked the time clock in 2016 against LSU and given them two more seconds! Either scenario would’ve saved us.
I've changed my mind... Gus is the best coach we could've gotten and probably worth every penny of the $19,866.43 he was payed today.
Is this the right bored...?

tbb, including our very own @cookedw, has decided UGA is a good match up for us because they only have 1 sack this year. I’ve never seen a more optimistic group in my life. Didn’t LSU have only 1 sack against us? And only bring 3-5 in obvious passing situations? I’m not sure I see the reasoning but I hope they are all right.
He wouldn’t even be here if our clock operator would’ve just been a little slower against LSU in 2016
so true. That game changed the fate of two men by a huge amount
I lost $300 to a dude on tbb. I had Lester getting fired before Gus.
discovered your alias?
Yes. Been discussed here multiple times. A friend who is read only gave me his password so I could read tbb. I occasionally forget to sign out of one or the other or post using my iPad instead of the phone.
Yep, I said UGA was actually a good matchup for us and shouldn't be counted as a definite L for us. It is a toss up, IMO, that I think we can win. And a large part of that is because of their DL play so far.
But if you wanted me to give a prediction, I'd say UGA in a close win.

Poor isn't the word I would use. They are not bad by any means. Just haven't gotten a lot of push.
I agree with this. I noticed it during the USCe game. Didn't get much pass rush and USCe was running the ball well. They just made too many catastrophic mistakes early. That being said, it isn't impossible for the young talent to grow up a lot by the time we play them.
Why on earth would you "not see that"?
In Athens.
Facing a much more talented opponent.
JB Grimes talent across the OL.
Stidham happy feet.
Gus.
To not see it is simply being willfully dense at this point.
But it isn't dense. UGA's DL through three games has gotten very little push against the likes of USCe, MTSU, and Austin Peay. Our pass protection actually has been pretty good, its our run blocking that has been terrible.
So as of today and what we have seen through three games, it isn't dense at all to think we can keep it close with UGA and have a chance to win the game.
They held USCe to 2.7 YPC rushing, and left Bentley with a passer rating below 40. On the road.
Their defense is going to abuse us.
