If the Auburn fanbase had its way

  • it would fire Chizik. We really suck like that, I guess.

    Agreed. But to put a coach on the fan hot seat because he is exceeding expectations for the season is highly unreasonable. Phil Steele had us going 5-7. ESPN? 6-6. We're on track for 7-5. Considering how much we lost and how young we are, I'd say that Chizik is doing a darn fine job just keeping this a winning season.

    I haven't seen that except from a limited few, the majority would def. fire Roof and Lolly.

    Agreed. And although the loses have been ugly. We really had real shots to win the Clemson game and possibly the Arky game (that game was closer than the score)

    The inconsistency is a halmark of young players and the fact that we have no on field leadership on Defense and only Lutz on offense.

  • The losses were ugly because road games with tons of youth can quickly get that way. We make a lot of mistakes due to youth, and on the road that = bad.

    Yep. I really like our chances next year and '13 for sure.

    Apparently that doesn't matter. For a program that average two every hundred years, I'd say we should be happy right now.

    Damn I'm hoping you don't get Mike. There's a good shot Brent Venables gets a head coaching gig and he's my vote to come back here and unleash hell once again.

    Didn't he also say he thinks Grimes will be out? I don't really buy that.

    I agree. Before the season I was thinking that if AU broke .500, it is a damn fantastic season. Your fans too easily forget that you guys lost 21 players off the 2-deep and 35 overall from last year's team. That isn't just hard, it is impossible, to overcome that kind of loss.

    Auburn is MUCH better this year than I thought they would be.

    That and some think that playing in 8/9 games makes you a seasoned, mature, SEC veteran.

    Its about attitude and we are 4 plays from being 3-7

    You can't look at it like that. Every day you drive a car you're 12 inches from the cars in the other lane. You still drive though, right?

    We are 6-4, and that's all that matters. I think Coach Chizik has done an excellent job this year when you take into account the circumstances he is in. As has been pointed out numerous times before, young teams with no leadership can easily lay down when it gets tough. Last year we had a senior-laden, albeit less talented, team that oozed leadership and fight. When our young bucks mature, they will take on leadership roles and fight adversity like the guys from last year. We lost EVERY leader we had on the team from last year, and now we're depending on some true freshman to provide that guidance?? That = rough year.

  • Content with 6-4? For real? 4-5 vs BCS conference team is exceeding expectations?

    It's year 3 for Chizik. Not year one..

    I don't have an opinion on that right now. I know our defense is bad, but when you consider the circumstances, I don't think many could do much better.

    Yeah, content with where we are. We lost 35 players from last years team, including 22 off of our 2-deep. Our schedule included four away games against teams in the top 15. When we play Bama, we will have played 5 out of the top 15 teams in the nation. Get that? Our team is green, and that is a recipe for a difficult season. Apply some logic here. Or don't. I don't care.

    If it makes you feel better, keep tellling yourself that. Although, I am not sure if the "young excuse" will work again next year?lol

    it's the way you're losing...zero effort against uga after a bye week...i don't care who you're playing..au is getting royally beatdown...and it took miracles to beat utah st and msu...sure you'll go 7-5 this year...but below the surface this au team is a 4 win team...from the eye test, worse than the 98 team.

    You cant be serious. You have failed to recruit some quality LB's and DB's the past 2-3 years outside of last years DB class. Last year we lost 10 starters on D and had some rough moments. Some of those rough moments cost us games, but we never looked this bad as a whole. Now I understand that Saban has had more time to recruit thus allowing us to "re-load' instead of re-build, but you have to look at AU's season as a whole. Yes, you have struggled against some good teams, but you have also struggled against even the weaker part of your schedule. You have yet to come out and just beat someone. You should be able to start all underclassmen and still curb stomp the Utah States and FAU's of the schedule. That is not the case with this Auburn team. Yes you are young, but 10 weeks into the season that is hardly an excuse.
