Hardest schedule in the country
Hardest schedule in the country
OT: AU Hut Hut Squad
- Thread starter ThrustMaxwell
- Start date
Will be a good reason to keep Gus when we are barely bowl eligible. FML
Not in any order I'd be looking at:
Bob Stoops
Dave Aranda
Josh Heupel
Mark Stoops
Jeff Scott
Brent Vennables
Shane Beamer
Jeff Brohm
Bill Clark
Matt Campbell
I’d take Clark or Neil Brown in a heartbeat over Gus
AU now has Jimbo Fisher, Kirby Smart, and the big boss Nick Saban in the schedule every year. Three of the top 5 coaches in the game. I really can’t see Auburn getting anyone that’s going to bring the fan base what it wants until some of these guys are off the schedule. Just too difficult
If it’s winning championships or bust you’re probably right. That being said, the model is there and AU is a place that can be successful, unlike 90% of college football teams today. Get a guy who can recruit with some charisma and AU sells itself a lot.
Love boom, but no. Dude had a golden opportunity to do something at SC while the entire east was down and did bupkis. No reason to think he’d do any better at AU.
I wouldn’t mind Lane solely because there’s no doubt he’d be dirty AF in recruiting and the train wreck at the end would surely be spectacular
Yes, the entire East was down. UGA 34 wins, UF 24 Wins, UK 24 wins. Boom 22 wins (at the second/third worst SEC program all time). AU 24 wins in same time frame. God Gus sux.
I’d be all about Kiffin for the reasons you mentioned.
Looks like the 5* challenge is littered with Clemson, AM and uga commits (future) commits. Not much talk of bama and Boog kids. The one kid that looks like he could become a monster is the Cohen kid. He got some good praises. Looks like a future stud if our old a$$ OL corch does not F’ him up somehow.
Was talking to a friend over in Georgia and he expects uga to pickup another 4 or 5 of the kids from the challenge. He said the Ringo and Sewell kids are freaks. Sure fire first round talent guys. They expect to get both. Along with Milton and possibly Arik and maybe a few more. The one kid they really hate they missed on is the clemmy commit Bresee. Said that dude is a bull. Reminds him of a young JJ Watt. Anywho, really hope we can get enough leftovers to maybe hang within striking distance until ole Kirby and Dabo quit, get fired, move to the league or something.
Really don’t even care about Ws and Ls at this point. I just need someone that doesn’t make me want to punch a puppy when I look at them or listen to them. I had zero idea who the head coach from OM was and still couldn’t tell you his name. He looks like a std dude pulled from the bleachers but he seemed to be able to bond with his players. He seemed to be able to refrain from looking / sounding like a goober. I’ll take that any day of the week at this point.
I hear the boogs are selling mini season tix that includes either a ticket to the Bama Beatdown or the Georgia Beatdown.
I’ve waisted enough on season tickets under the Gus regime. I said no brah,

If Jimbo hadn’t Gussed up their game against AU so bad last year, I might agree. Ed O is the story on this list to me. Continuing to coach circles around our guru.
And they came back to play for Gus and we have 'fans' that say they wont even watch the games. They give credence to Little Brother references.
Can’t wait to see the schemes Gus draws up for the Dline this year.
I don’t think you do have it. What I meant was two dlinemen coming back for Gus. If I had to guess they came back for their position coaches and teammates. They may have been quoted though as saying otherwise, I don’t pay attention to football like I used to.
Yeah, I vividly remember people like you and rice blaming Gus in 2014 when he went 8-5 with Marshall. Eye fvcking roll.
and then laughing to death right as my finger clicks @off
I’m not on Team Boom. Always been Team Bill but I understand that would be a tough sell if we have to pay Gus a huge buyout to hire UABs coach. Would imagine we would try to hire Purdue or Iowa States coach if we made a change
Pretty sure both of those dudes just signed big contracts. Probably both unobtainable especially if AU has to buy Gus out too
If we landed Big Dick Matt Campbell I would be happy. Average Dick Jeff Brohm would not make me happy.
So what do we think about the Boog board take that if we can’t get a stud muffin as coach then hire TWill and give him time to be the next Dabo
Trying to find the next Dabo would be a dangerous game. But as long as it’s a top notch recruiter who’ll keep the cupboard full I’m all for it
I'd only give T Will the HC position right now if people genuinely think that he's the absolute best option out there. If he's not, then let him go somewhere and get some more experience. He's gonna be our Kirby smart. We can call him home as our HC whenever we want. He's such a boog homer that he's never gonna turn down momma if we come calling
D Brown listed as the #5 overall player
Part of my dream last night was that Bama dismantled the Boogs and Gus got fired. But it was for some reason the season opener. So not a perfect prophecy, but still could mean something. Fingers crossed
Pretty wild stat imo and demonstrates that almost every fan base besides Bama and Clemson gets frustrated with their coaches about winning big games
Hopefully this is the year of QB’s who haven’t proven shit, rising to the Top.
Surprising to me that Bama has the most games against that criteria. Always read their schedule is a joke. And I know the playoff games add to it, but they also give out a lot of losses to teams that probably hurt teams chances of finishing higher.
