P.S. whoever you talked to thought promoting Durka was a good idea. That told me everything I needed to know about their opinion.

My guy wanted Sumrall, fwiw.

The only reason he was kind of okay with DJD was because it would have kept most of the infrastructure that Hugh had put in place in tact.

Despite all of hugh's onfield shitting the bed, he'd built a good off field vehicle.

There is nothing they can set you back 5-6

I do think 5-6 is an exaggeration to an extent, but 2-3 at least with Redmond gone. Someone has to rebuild everything he had put together and IMO that takes a good bit of time.

All the scouting and work they'd done for 28/29/30 class also went out the window too, so I think that is what he was alluding towards with the 5-6 years talk was.

Any one other than John "handcuff" Cohen.

He isn't liked by a significant number of people involved in the money game, he sucks at fundraising, none of the coaches like him.


Golesh doesn't have a single chance of succeeding if Cohen is maintained as AD.

This kid is 24 and still in school. That should have been a huge red flag.

Me who Graduated at 26.... you are definitely right :lol:

I play old man golf and I'm 36, hit my drives around 220-230 (I can hit it further but gets a bit squirelly), but hit almost every fairway and I'm a great player with my woods.

I regularly shoot 75-82 but I don't lose balls OB and I putt well.

I had a particularly good day a few weeks ago and shot 73. It looks boring on the outside but man its fun when it clicks.

Is it a myth that Kirby wanted to come to AU too at one point? Serious question.

---

He was definitely interested and we at least kicked the tires, but I dont think there was ever a formal offer in place.


As for Sumrall performing at this level this early, florida's roster is MILES better than ours on offense. Particularly Oline. 2/5 were Returning and one was Buster's starting center at Tech.


But the deal with Sumrall was all but signed and Cohen said he absolutely had to keep Durkin and Sumrall didn't like that, he was open to keeping DJD just wanted to interview him and see how they fit together first.

This right here is what bothers me more than anything. And we won't improve until we fix this. And it is on the offense and defense.

Time of Possession:

Baylor 32:32
Auburn 27:28

Florida 39:16
Auburn 20:44

Vandy 37:32
Auburn 22:28


This is disgusting.

I'd be surprised if we win TOP anytime this season, but we did hang on to the ball when we absolutely had to yesterday to close the game out.

I’ve seen American Aquarium enough times that BJ recognizes me. I told him after a show a few years ago I wasn’t sure which of us had it worse. ??

** On OL: Tackles played well. Competed at a high level there. Effort was there inside, struggled with twist game, climbing to next level. Disappointed with both guard spots. Cole Best did a good job ID-ing stuff. Needed to be more physical inside. Got to get better there

---

I just rewatched the game and I was actually impressed with our tackle play for the first time in probably a decade. On Byrum's Simmons seals off the defensive end and pancakes him. Several other runs where he took 1-2 defenders out on a play.

The guards were terrible if there was a twist or stunt. Almost never picked them up. I wouldn't hate Ellis coming back to center and moving Best to a guard spot. :lol:
