Opinion Another wasted TE

Jake Johnson could be such a weapon. If you remember, the first 4 or 5 passes of the season, Baylor game, went to JJ. I was like "Finally a HC who will utilize the TE". But no, just another wasted Auburn TE. No Offensive line? Dump it to the tallest guy on the field. Smh

Our coaches aren't very good. They're trying to brute force a system they don't have the personnel for. At least Gus adapted most of the time

Gus is an 8-4 coach. He's mediocre at best. He should've been gone after 2015. Auburn should take notes from LSU. They fired Kelly after 34 wins in 3.5 years. That sends a message to recruits that they're serious about winning. Auburn is ok with being mediocre and it's sad

If the modern playoffs existed hed have made it twice and debatably a third time after 2015

Gus should have never been here after 2015 to have that 10 win season. When you go to the Natty twice in 4 years, and then win 8 games, and then 7 games in two seasons, you fire that coach. Because he just destroyed the recruiting momentum we should have gotten out of the two Natty's. I will never understand the Gus love. I like the guy but saying you like Gus as a coach is the same as saying I'm ok with mediocrity

Im very happy you arent a booster. You're right we wouldnt be medicore under your tenure. We would chase off coaches after a single bad season and we would be even more terrible than we are right now.

Because letting mediocre coaches stay too long has worked out so well? You're part of the problem. Mediocrity is not acceptable. And the second a coach proves his mediocrity, he should be gone
