Stidham getting benched? Gus also just said the difference in the game was the three turnovers (all caused by J Stid).
So you are going to throw a kid you have refuse to prepare for two years out there next week. Ham string with the playcalling so you can rip him off the field with a smile as you say, that is why Stidham is our qb. Got it.
Does Gus have the balls to bench Jarrett? I honestly don't think he does
what the fvck does that even mean?
I mean, there are 100 coachspeak, well not coach, but cliche responses to that question... and he went with - that?
I'm fairly certain that we're all in Hell and just don't realize it.
I guess he equates getting older with sucking harder?!? like he has osteoporosis or bad eye sight now
Think he’s just being an asshole.
then the DL need to drag him into the showers and beat him with a sock full of nickels...
Russell or Brown or Marlon can be assholes if they get that question... he’s lost the privilege
Stidham is just so ass right now. dude needs a benching just to get his attitude right. White jesus thinks he's untouchable
Stidham is just a pussy plain and simple. There’s nothing you can do to fix him. It’s a personal decision to make a change, but you don’t just instantaneously become an Alpha male. He chose his path in life over a year ago when he planned to marry a girl with great financial means. People also forget he was adopted.
amazingly. Anthony Schwartz only had 5 touches this game. No idea why they didn't keep trying to get him the ball. He was the only one making big plays.
I honestly think Gus is scared to go back to a DTQB becasue, if it's successful, then it's gonna make him look even dumber. It's like he's scared of the possiblity of having success because it'll make people question his whole philosophy leading up to it.
Buyout is only 10.3 more this year than it will be after 3 seasons with this deal. He may cost us 20 million in lost revenue if he’s here two more seasons after this latest shit show.
Thought about this for a solid 30 seconds. If it wasn't for my kids I'm pretty sure I would have come to the conclusion that you're right.
Watching Chiz and Greg McElroy take a shit on Gus just now on SECN was oddly pleasing
what'd they say? Watching hte UGA game. Gotta think Chiz loves seeing his usurper get his ass kicked.
Chiz mainly talked about how Gus was in danger of losing the locker room (LMFAO) and McElroy was just harping on how unacceptable our offensive futility is. It was altogether magnificent
if you're on the aufamily board please help get this discussion going. TIA
lulz, basketball kids don't really GAF about hut hut, they're used to being the center of attention, but any honk board meltdown is always a worth endeavor.
if you're on the aufamily board please help get this discussion going. TIA
You need to turn the list into BINGO cards.
But not a drinking game. The risk of mass alcohol poisening .....
This is everything the 2016 LSU Game should've been. Maybe even better, as hard lessons are the ones you remember the most. These rich rednecks better do some real soul searching if they want to get Auburn Athletics where it needs to be. Is it more important to be the One Eyed King or to wins some fuggin' championships?
Two L's. FML
I hope you had a long talk on the way home about only Winners Get Waffles.
There were zero waffles given today.
Assuming they deleted it?
if you're on the aufamily board please help get this discussion going. TIA
I don't even want to participate in a Post Game Thoughts thread for this game. Let's just keep this train rolling.
This was the most fun I've had watching sports since last year's BASKETBALL season. For anyone looking for additional lulx, here's StatTiger's Report Card for the game.

Turnovers by the offense and hideous play on defense in third & long were the story of this football game. There were the usual issues such as the lack of a running game and poor pass protection to go along with a defense that has surrendered explosive plays all season long. Overall, this version of the Auburn Tigers is just a bad offensive team and a defense that fights every week to keep the Tigers in the ball game. Auburn's defense allowed eight third-down conversions of at least 8-yards, surrendering 169-yards on the eight successful conversions. On the remaining 60 snaps defended, Auburn allowed only 3.8 yards per play but the 21.0 yards per play allowed on third and long destroyed any success the Tigers had on defense. I cannot recall a game in recent memory, where Auburn's defense played so poorly in third and long.
The first two Auburn offensive possessions appeared to be a good start for the Tigers, but Auburn had only 10 points after four possessions, despite gaining 207-yards on offense. It has been a trademark of Gus Malzahn's offense when it comes to the first four possessions of the game. From 2015-2018, Auburn has been held to 10 points or less during the first four possessions of the game 26 times, averaging only 21.3 PPG when it occurs. Auburn is 10-16 during those games and 8-12 in conference play. Bottom line, if the offense cannot score more than 10 points during their first four possessions of the game against a Power-5 opponent, there is a higher probability for a loss than a victory. During his last nine games, Jarrett Stidham has 13 combined fumbles and interceptions and 11 combined passing and rushing touchdowns.
Similar to last week's performance against Mississippi State, there were several moments of blown opportunities on offense. Jarrett Stidham missed on a couple of deep balls, and Darius Slayton dropped a potential deep ball for a touchdown. Last week it was four plays out of 59 snaps, and this week it was three of 80 snaps. Some will focus on less than ten plays to extract some form of moral victory or hope for the future. The reality is Auburn lost these last two games primarily on the remaining 132 snaps. The only positive from this game was the players did not quit. Midway into his sixth season as head coach, Gus Malzahn has a team that cannot run the football and cannot protect the quarterback. His best running back is a converted quarterback with a bad shoulder, and there isn't a reliable and prepared backup at quarterback to take over for Jarrett Stidham. The offensive line lacks experience and is playing hurt with very little depth to tap into. One of the starters transferred in from U-Mass and quickly became a starter. It is a nightmare scenario for a first-year head coach rebuilding a program, so how did Auburn arrive here after six years?

God, I love HC’ing search time as an AU fan. Almost upon us once again.
It sure beats continuous mediocrity. I'm very curious to see what sort of talent Greene can attract and if he's smart enough to let BRUCE help him with the recruitment.
