I hope Pickens goes elsewhere and has a great career. We’re going to be average at best for at least two years.
So you would wish it upon a young stud wideout to come waste away under Gus for a few years and risk missing his shot at the NFL?
1) @Ser Sweater Vest said he was hoping Pickens would elsewhere even if Gus got fired. @AuWaterfowl made the intiial post about Picked s will head elsewhere IF Gus is fired and that is what SSV replied to.
2) abosultey in your scenario. I hope if Gus stays, if can sell how crappy he was this year on the players. I will never want a talented kid to pick another school. Makes no sense to me that an Auburn fan would, regardless of the circumstances.
Even if Gus gets fired we’re stuck with:
Jarrett Stidham, Malik Willis and Joey Gatewood for the next two years. And spare me the Nix starting as a freshman argument. Dude is the second coming of Stidham. Another non-mobile QB who will get destroyed because we’re 2-3 recruiting cycles away from fielding a semi-competent offensive line.
I got a son says if HIS son was a 5* player that he would make him play for SAVAGE SABAN. Also says he would be a Boog himself, but no way he would let somebody from his loins waste his time at Boogville if the Crimpsun & White called. And he is a bigger Barner than I am.
Count me in the group that believes someone like Lane Kiffin or Jeff Brohm could get a lot more out of a Stidham/Nix type.
I'd much rather add one of them and Stidham move on
I agree, I'm mostly just acknowledging that we may have gotten a lot more out of Stidham without Gus fvcking him up.
I don't. I dont like Gus. But Stidham has had so many opportunities this year to make plays when put into position and has failed to do so
And then, on top of that, has on numerous occasions made things worse than they need to be
Stids played well last year with a mildly competent OL and a mildly handicapped pre absurd contract Gus. He has (had) it in him somewhere although he’s probably totaled ruined at this point

Stids showed A LOT of these signs, especially in games he didn't have KJ or KJ wasn't 100%.
He just isn't a very good QB.
Look for a lot to bounce when it happens, but the right hire could keep George(as long as Bo stays). Gus has a great relationship with momma Picken though. As odd as this seems, there are two defensive coaches that could hold on to George if they were retained.
I still think they both stick. I feel like Owen is tied to TWIll and Pickens is tied to Nix. We will know in about 6 weeks with Owen.
Although, I do think TWill is going to have to fight off the, "He may be safe for next year, but you will into your Soph season without him"

These poor children.
i think he'd be fine in a traditional West Coast style offence but this O with a bad o-line isn't his thing.
IDK about you but I desperately hope we roll into fall with Malik and Beau and throw up that big 4-8
Gus’s crootin acumen on full display here. Has this kid fall in his lap and he loses him to Mizzou. Would be sad if it wasn’t so hilarious.
Hilarious if Gus met with the AD Sunday after Iron Bowl and laid out plan to get Freeze and KB and fails on both fronts
The prospects of Gus being forced into a full year of using the HS QBs he recruited and “developed” (said very tongue-in-cheek) gives me all the warm fuzzies.
I’m actually now more inclined to watch Boog football next year.
For all the ensuing lols, of course.

If they are both that dumb, they probably be both need to take the JuCo route.
If Pickens sticks, this squad really is just a grad tranny offensive lineman away from having all the pieces for a good version of the athletic qb that runs around, makes plays, and heaves it deep down the field offense. But I'm sure Gus will play Bo Nix or something and fugg it all up
I really really really wanna see Joey Gatewood and Boobee running that Cam Newton offense with baby Shaun Shivers or Schwartz doing the Omac role and spacing out the defense

it was rumoured that the OL transfer from last year may leave so we need may need a couple of dudes for Grimes to un-develop
I’m not saying Gatewood isn’t a good athlete, but he didn’t start full time in high school. If he wasn’t developed enough in high school to start full time, then I’m not optimistic he can develope under a coach who has shown an inability to develope QB’s. As soon as Nix gets on campus he will be the most developed QB, so starting him wouldn’t be “fuggin it up”.
Saw we’re trying to get some grad tranny from Butler. Didn’t know they played huthut there. Not sure what’s more sad that we’re trying to get players from Butler or that the child isn’t gonna come to Boogville anyway.
So rumors around the boog net are that we trying to get this scrub from Butler cause our 1 mildly legit OL Prince Tega is off to the draft. Lol.
Looks like tbb is under attack just by looking at the topics over there. Total FREAK mode. Not to be alarmed as it looks like it's all about hut hut, which isn't really surprising anyway.
