The best post I have seen from you. Bravo!

2026 in Auburn we get to see them play.

I disagree. Sumrall creates a positive energy. Sumrall had Gator Nation ready to run through a wall yesterday. Life is 99% mental and UF will get more from ATDL (Attitude, Toughness, Discipline, and Love) than a notebook with a plan in it.

Word! The plan is to cash out in 3 like all the rest.

Already hearing he is being told who to hire. Kodi Burns for example. Auburn can't let a coach do his job without meddling. Coaches go to Auburn to retire.

Cool points for you and the LSU folks for telling it like it is. UF has no idea what is coming with Sumrall. The 2026 schedule looks good for them as well. I say at minimum, 10-2 regular season.

UF 2026, 10-2
W, FAU
W, Campbell
L, Georgia
W, FSU
W, Auburn
W, Oklahoma
W, Ole Miss
W, South Carolina
W, Vanderbilt
W, Kentucky
W, Missouri
L, Texas

Where Auburn should be

Good luck with your vodka swigging guy

It earned us back2back championships

Jon Sumrall’s ATDL (Attitude Discipline and Love) Philosophy
Sumrall’s core coaching mantra is ATDL—four pillars chanted in huddles, flashed on stadium screens, and drilled into every drill. It’s his blueprint for turning teams into winners, blending grit with heart. Here’s the breakdown, straight from his playbook.

Attitude: The “Good” Flip and No-Bad-Vibes Rule
Attitude is everything—life’s only real disability is a bad one. Sumrall preaches reacting to frick-ups (turnovers, injuries, losses) with “Good!”—a nod to Navy SEAL Jocko Willink: If you can say “good,” you’re alive, breathing, and ready to reload. It’s 10% what happens, 90% your response. Builds unbreakable spirit: backups cheer starters, no egos. “Iron sharpens iron”—competition reveals character.

Toughness: Physical, Mental, Emotional Armor
Toughness hits from all angles: gutting out pain in the trenches, staying cool under fire, or bouncing back from heartbreak. Sumrall’s teams lead in defensive scores because they thrive in “controlled violence”—drills that forge relentless competitors. It’s not just hitting hard; it’s the will to keep swinging when you’re gassed. “Anybody afraid of competition? Good luck at life.” Turns underdogs into ranked killers.

Discipline: Accountability and Relentless Routine
Discipline is the glue—hard work, no shortcuts, owning your shite. Sumrall demands precision in prep, execution, and recovery; it’s why his squads rack up conference titles fast. Rooted in accountability: show up daily, grind the process, build habits that win games. “Relentless competitive spirit” isn’t hype—it’s structured fire, from film study to weight room reps. Excuses? Not here.

Love: Family Bonds Over Solo Glory
Love is the X-factor—real care for teammates, coaches, staff. It’s a “football family” where you bleed for each other, support through wins or wounds (like rallying around injured players). Sumrall weaves it in: post-win hugs, standing by guys in tough spots. Tough love, sure—brutal honesty sharpens—but it’s rooted in genuine investment. Builds loyalty that fuels comebacks and cultures that last.

As an Auburn graduate and a Troy graduate, I can do what I want.
