re: What I believe and what I know

That would make sense for the portal additions.

I agree the half decade setback estimation is probably pessimistic, however we've essentially been in the wilderness since the Gus tenure ended. During a highly formative new era of player movement and compensation, Auburn football has more or less been a punchline. With each passing year remaining in the wilderness we will quickly lose the relevance we once had.
You're right, good QBs don't come here.

Thorne was a turnover machine at Michigan State and continued to be one here.

Finley was just underwhelming all around. Nobody was particularly excited for him.
It's funny. The knock on Arnold was he took too many sacks. He started turning the ball over as the season wore on too though. Not like Brown, dude just loves throwing to the other team.
Huepel isn't married to the QB who started the game like Golesh is to Brown, but you gotta try something different.

Shuffled the offensive line already, shuffled the running backs. QB change!

I personally find it hilarious that anyone would be interested in buying any of the secrets Auburn football has.

It could change as the game develops but Baylor isn't looking great against an also not great Colorado.

I so wanted to believe that Baylor focused on bringing in good D-line talent and THAT was why we struggled so much. Sadly we know now it's just a shite offensive line :lol:

Edit: that little white WR just ate em up for a TD tho

My guts tell me to lay off the hot sauce.

Too early to tell anything. He sure coached up an excellent gameplan against Auburn (not that this is hard these days). They'll get into the meat of their schedule and THAT will tell you about him as a coach, same situation with Golesh.
We haven't had a thousand yard receiver since the 90s. Haven't had a competent offensive line since the late 2010s.

Kinda over it, doesn't seem to matter who the coach or the players are. Same shite product on the field.
This is so much worse since allegedly the surprise Durkin contract lost us Summrall (?)
What is the % of 3rd and longs that get converted against Durkin since he's been here :lol:

Agree, if this was peak Auburn that was trading wins with Alabama, LSU, and Georgia I wouldn't be so concerned. Our only gimme conference game is Arkansas this year, and they could beat us if we have a big turnover game.

CBM allegedly said this. I have doubts.

2027 is honestly one of the toughest schedules I can remember ANY team having. It's the stuff I used to schedule for myself when I played the NCAA football game back in the day.

I don't think Golesh will be ready and I don't think any coach outside of the current top programs would be either.

You're right it wasn't the only option, but given the recent examples of coaches moving up in conferences it was the best option.

Look at the Ok St coach, look at the UCLA coach, and in the best possible case look at Cignetti.

They all bring contributors from their previous stop because continuity > recruiting a totally new roster in a condensed time period.

No matter what, the game against Florida will tell us quite a bit about the current capabilities of this team. The whole season will tell us about the program.

It looks like the offensive line shuffle produced something a little workable.

It's Southern Miss, so Auburn did what they should have done.

It doesn't prove that we are good, but we aren't bad. Previous coaching regimes have struggled mightily with overmatched opponents so nice to pull away and maintain control.

You're right, it's a solid analysis. But man am I tired of fundamental offensive line play being the a thing we only see here and there.
