Lashlee wasn't there last year either.
I think it is quite possible there is a serious movement to oust Gus after next season, simply because of how the 2018 season might go and the fact that a good chunk of their fanbase is over him already. Basically every Auburn fan I know is upset about the extension they gave him. I can see them being good in 2018 and being right there in the mix for a West title, but I also could see them losing 4-5 games.
They lose 12 starters by my count including 4 OL, Kerryon Johnson, both starting safeties, a first round corner(Davis), and the Kicker. Add Kam Pettway and a starting LB as well.
Definitely not an invincible team as they lose Rhett Lashlee as well.
And don't forget, we have (most) all of our OL returning !
I'm really looking forward to this and all of our games this year under Coach Pruitt. I think we'll certainly be more competitive this year (hopefully fewer OL off side penalties, especially at critical times).
Not only kept his job, but was rewarded with that big extension. They also have a new AD now too; I think Malzahn and Jay Jacobs were extremely close.
Really? I was under the impression that several prominent Auburn boosters have wanted Gus out since about 2015, and about the only ally Gus had was Jay Jacobs.
Theyre beatable. Its the toughest game on the schedule (because we have no chance in hell at winning the UGA or Bama games), but Auburn is a really inconsistent program. The only program Ive ever seen go from 3-9 to a national title appearance in one year, and then back down to 8-5 the next.
Does 9-4 to 4-8 sound familiar?
Their program makes ours look like a model of consistency by comparison. They went from an undefeated national championship season (which we haven't sniffed in 19 years) to 3-9 (a season worse than we have ever had, including last year) to 12-2 and in the title game again in the span of 4 seasons.
