@Tetragrammaton Cane literally pointed out what I was getting at - Auburn’s AD is not ******* around with Malzahn even though Malzahn has won some huge football games.
It's not realistic for Richt to get fired after year 3. With how Richt has performed at Miami he does deserve a 4th year...
At that point it really shouldn't matter. Malzahn also had cache in his tenure given that he was the OC that was the driving force with Cam that won them a natty in 2010. Also, he had them within a hair of a national title in year 1 back in 2013. That's why he's had the leash he's had. Again...
And we shouldn't be losing to Duke, UVA, GT and BC in a row in year 3. My point was, Auburn's AD did something about it (you could argue their board/boosters did, but that's semantics). Meanwhile, our ticket salesman is just collecting paychecks.
Are they? Auburn's not more talented than Bama and has to play UGA every year. You could argue talent level with LSU as well. It's actually not that different because we have more talent in our division than every other team. So please explain to me what the difference is. Richt has had 4-game...
Ok. So basically Auburn has more talent in their division with the exception of Alabama and quite possibly LSU. Yet they went 7-5 this year. Where have I heard that one before?
He's had 3 years and has done nothing. What lineman has been better since he's been here? Why can't he recruit OL anymore? The answer you're looking for ties the two questions together. I'll let you figure it out.
People arguing with me on why Blake needs to intervene. Malzhan and Richt had similar years last year and this year - won a division title with 10 wins. This year, disappointing seasons going 7-5. Malzhan has his contract restructured to reduce his buyout by Auburn's AD. Meanwhile, Blake hasn't...
He went 10-4 (7-1 in division) and was in the SEC title game last year, which included wins over Bama and UGA. The point I was bringing up is the AD literally re-negotiated the details of his contract to where the buyout was significantly reduced and has thus been placed on the hot seat. Richt...
Trying to figure out how UF is somehow ranked in the top 10 with a 9-3 record. Where they got blown out at home by Mizzou, lost to Kentucky (who finished 2nd in the division, UF at 3rd), and barely beat Vanderbilt. We won't even mention the UGA loss.
A competent AD sees what's going on and intervenes or does what Auburn's AD just did - negotiate a smaller buyout with the potential to fire so that the school's not on the hook. Blake James is a fcking joke.
Was never really high on Tarquin, we just need bodies though at OL given our lack of depth. If it was Evan Neal that was high on Searels and the only way of securing him was holding onto Searels for another year, I then bite the bullet and put up with him for 1 more year. But Tarquin can go kick...
