The Blue Board

I would have thought Auburn could have gotten a bigger name coach. with more than 1 year of Head Coaching Experience is the Sun Belt Conference...

You care. And, dare I say, u mad

This had to be a setup all along - at least for the past few weeks. Weird, but then again, I live (grew up but no longer) up North.

Shaking as in, mad, like Texas A&M shaking? Or just overjoyed, shaking?

That's what I figured, just had to be sure..

And his wife, she's a major player..

It must suck having to grasp for any loss/bad thing to make fun of when it comes to Bama these days. Gotta be tough when we've lost fewer games the past 5 seasons than AU did this year.

I mean...the A&M loss meant essentially nothing. Didn't keep us from ATL or Miami. Pickin's are slim these days...

Btw, hahaha Gus Malzahn hahaha.

I think that sums it up pretty well.

No. A guy posted it and several agreed with it.

Just askin' a question, dood..

Honestly, I got the email from AUC while I was sitting in court waiting to represent a client, so couldn't really make any outward expressions one way or another. Once I got out of there, my honest reaction was "meh." Not overjoyed, not descending into sorrow. I believe AU could have and should have done better, then I remembered guys like Jay Jacobs and Pat Dye were part of the process and everything of course shifted into focus perfectly.

I have always believed that until Jay Jacobs, Pat Dye, Tim Jackson, Dr. Gogue, and the rest of their merry bunch are expunged from AU and replaced with actual professional administrators whose focus is not political but rather economic, AU will continue to make these types of hiring decisions. The problem, in short, is systemic. Much like Washington DC, where administrations, senators, representatives, and others come and go with elections, but the Beltway Bureaucracy literally never changes. Until AU's administrative problems are dealt with at the root, shaky and outright bad hiring decisions will continue to be made because the one's making the decisions are doing so in a way that protects themselves, not in a way that makes the university better.

We will see how it goes. Malzahn's offense can succeed in the SEC. Will it ever be like when Cam was there? Probably only if another Cam-type player emerges. The only hope we have to hold onto is that Malzahn took a noodle-arm retard (Chris Todd) and set records with a mediocre team back in 2009. Indeed, Malzahn can succeed against LSU, Bama, UGA, etc., with the right personnel in place. Will he amass it, who knows. But I assume at this point that until the aforementioned people are banished from their positions, history will repeat itself over and over again.

Yes I did ... Im not sure how our fanbase could be embarrassed with an 85-20 record

Im asking yall if your embarrassed that your administration could only end up hiring Gus Malzahn when the fanbase was expecting so much more. The lack of effort your AD put into this hire is alarming if Im a donor or fan of the program.
