I'm staying confident until we hear word of byrum brown on another campus.

But it is arse backwards no doubt.

Enough to make a beaten dog flinch.

Komrade looks like he's been on the frontlines of Ukraine. :lol:

Good player. Does everything he can to deny the receiver the ball. Even if it means a 10 or 15 yard penalty.

Has a criminal record to boot so you know he's got that dawg in him.

I cant imagine ther3s many better situations for him then UNLV with Mullen. If Dan cant straighten him out, it was never meant to be.

Uh, yes, the Gus system clearly became an unmovable object at least for '18, '19, and '20.

Good grief. How many games did we win those years?

2017 we were right there for the SEC Championship, so just based on winning we should have been able to recruit better.

2 things.

1. We lost the SEC championship and the bowl game, finished with 4 losses, and the rest of the country was watching Bama and UGA still play for the natty a month later.

And 2. It takes a lot more than losing one conference championship to sustain any sort of momentum, and frankly build any sort of momentum. The pro potential thing was a tree in the forest of issues.

He had limited success, not because of wins and losses but because he put out Greg Robinson and Sammie Coates.

This is such a weird way to rewrite history. This has already been discussed at length for years.

Do you truly believe if he was competing for SEC championships every year we wouldn't have seen an uptick in wr and o line recruiting? Ill concede we would lose a dude or two bc the negative recruiting angle is real but to act like it's this unmovable obstacle is ridiculous. Hell Bama has EJ Crowell committed this year after he sat there and watched bama rbs go 5 for 17 all year.

However, I can take comfort in the fact that I have never relied on another team's losses to enjoy a season.

If THAT is what it means to be an Auburn fan then I thank all the powers in the universe that I was never afflicted with THAT curse.

We are so fricking back

But if your players get knocked for it then it becomes detrimental. After going through the Gus years we all know how knocks can stack up. We couldnt recruit OL and we couldn't recruit elite WRs to perform to the fullest of their abilities.

---

If Gus would've fielded a consistently competitive offense and won more than 8 games a year he would've recruited better. You know this.

Data is trending experience over HS talent.

And thats one of the reasons I called the Cignetti method the new meta.

Ig it comes down to a personal opinion thing, and to me snapping the ball before the defense has time to get in position or communicate assignments is a little cheap but theres a huge portion of people that will tell you thats a part of the game and I respect that.

Now I dont expect them to change the rules and I def dont expect them to center the hashes more, I'm just explaining why it can be considered gimmicky.

Its def gimmicky. Abuses the hashes being wider than nfl hashes and feasts on tempo exploits. Some rule changes could wreck it and force heavy adaptations and maybe even a complete philosophy change. But we're still living in a world where the offense exists and works very well so I choose to be excited until I have reason not to be.
