Alumni is critical of poor coaching
And how is Harsin doing for Auburn?
Yeah basically this. I didn't watch the game against Navy but from what I read it reminded me of one of the biggest reasons for that away loss streak. In 2017 we had one of the most talented teams in the country. Beat UGA and bama both when they were ranked #1. LSU had lost to Troy and Mississippi State. We were up 20-0 and 23-7. Our last two possessions that we scored on should have been TDs but Gus got cute around the end zone. We proceeded to not score another point and lost 27-23 (completely shut out in 2nd half).
This is the kind of crap that had us ready to run him out of Auburn.
I just wanted a coach that won't leave UCF.
Because it worked before ... you're only looking at when things don't work.
No doubt.
Man, Gus gave us all battered wife syndrome. Don't worry, this too shall pass.
You are out of your mind. We couldn’t ask for a better leader for our program. Give him time to get his guys in and we’re going to be competing for championships in no time.
I truly feel sorry for all of these good folks here. They don't deserve this at all.
That particular LSU game gustard RAN the SAME damn play every 1st down in the 2nd half... at least 8x. Every single time. LSU put 11 guys on the LOS after 4 and he still ran it. Gus is convinced his greatness allows him to score on every play, and if he doesn't, it's some execution breakdown that is out of his control.
I forgot about the same play thing. Worst part there was he defended it by saying that it was a play with multiple options. The problem was they had so many in the box that the read was always a give, so the same exact thing happened again and again. Woof.
It is highly unlikely that anything said here will result in getting Gus fired. That would be ridiculous. I sincerely hope that will never be the way our University makes important decisions.
No what’s ridiculous is y’all hiring him to begin with. Firing him would be the least ridiculous thing you could do at this moment. He is horrible.
And people say folks from AL are dumb. I was talking from a macro perspective. Your leadership needs to cut bait while they can. You all are headed down a dark and dangerous path if you don't.
Start counting how many times he says 'git 'er done...'... as in 'the offense just didn't git'er done...'
He was there 8 years. I don’t think this argument applies much to him. He was there a long time and a school with those kinds of expectations are just going to change/move on, hoping that the change brings them something “better”. They have the resources/ money to throw around.
blah blah blah. If this logic was strictly followed every coach would get one chance to be a head coach and then be retired when they had a run perceived as bad. Nobody can beat the standard of being perfect every year.
You can write war and peace all you want but Gus is still ain’t worth a shit. Also when did ucf become a national program. I must have missed the part where y’all joined a power five.
When we went to 3 NY6 bowls in 6 years, winning two of them, one of them being an undefeated season with a national championship.
You did miss the part where we joined a P5 conference.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion including you. Perhaps wherever you may be employed, or had the misfortune to attend school, make hiring and firing decisions based on the rantings of those on a thread, or a tweet or a blog. But if our University were to hire or fire anyone based on the opinions of those opining on this thread would be the epitome of poor leadership and management. I don't think anyone should hold their breath thinking these opinions will get Gus or anyone else fired.
They need to reassure themselves they made the right decision?
