Question: If we beat Auburn, will they replace Gus?

Gussie won't get the boot this year by any means. But, it is safe to say that the honeymoon is OVER. Next season will tell the story of just how good of a head coach he really is. He won with chizik's players last year. This year has been a mix of both his and chizik's players, and the results have been less than stellar. And next year, everybody recruited from the last regime will have cycled out of there. Then, the real story will be revealed. He could bounce back, sure. But, he could go the same way Terry Bowden went. As soon as Bowden ran out of Dye's recruits, the bottom fell out.

And if he beats us again this year then Gus and the AU family are on a 1-way flight to Niagara Falls.

They have played the toughest schedule in the country, had quality wins throughout and their losses, with the exception of the Georgia game, were all close. This has been a very successful year for them whether the fanbase realizes it or not, and Gus will be absolutely deified if his team wins in Bryant-Denny this year.

Can they pay another former coach? How many former coaches are they currently paying?

Except for the fact that they won't beat us. If NOTHING else, we will wear their defense down by the 4th quarter. They can smack talk and dream all they want, but they aren't winning in two weeks.

Not by a long shot. No. Not even close.

russtang · Nov 19, 2014

Not this year.

If we beat them this year, then again next year, his will be on the hot seat, especially with another 8-4 year.

Bruce014 · Nov 19, 2014

No, they won't. Auburn is on the fast-track to an 8-5 or 9-4 record. And, historically, that is where they have always been. When it was an 11-game regular season, Auburn was a 7-5 club.

I was thinking the same thing...Eugene is still owed a few million dollars through the Spring of 2016.

No way Gus gets fired though. He is the best coach they could have ever dreamed to hire. His style of play depends on the ball bouncing your way...call it luck if you want to...and when he has it he wins. When he doesn't...he loses.

The Family won't fire Gus this year or next. They will just make up some tee shirts that say "4 or 5 Games Better".

I think there is absolutely zero chance of that even being brought up for discussion by Auburn. I think they will seriously look at changing D coordinators but firing Malzahn will absolutely not happen.

Agreed. There is no way they dump him and for anyone to think so is crazy IMHO.

califbamafan · Nov 19, 2014

gus is the best coach the barn can get. ellis J will be fired and they will bring in another def coord. Until the Barn realizes that you need a defense to win they will continue to be a 8-5 to 9-5 team

Why do we keep having threads about the barn yet people here make fun of them saying they obsess over Bama and are always talking about us. At least keep it game related things and not stuff that won't happen and does not matter till end of the year.

Because to me it's fun making fun of them with my Tidefan buddies!:biggrin:

How is this even a question?

Because he put this "?" at the end of the sentence.

I never taunt or jab at my friends or family who are fans of the barn. It is nice to hang out here and enjoy that freedom without offending anyone.

Redstripe · Nov 20, 2014

No, they won't get rid of him.

RollinTider1335 · Nov 20, 2014

Just beat the barn. I don't care who their coach is

Ditto

twofbyc · Nov 20, 2014

He's not going anywhere. EJ won't be getting a lifetime contract (much to my dismay), he will be the only coach leaving; and he leaves regardless of the outcome of the IB.

RollTide1224 · Nov 20, 2014

He took them from a joke to the national championship game in one year. During that year he shifted the perception of the program so much so that media were buying into the idea that he was going to surpass Saban if he already hadn't. Yes they have lost some games this year but there is no way on Earth they are getting rid of him after this season, even if they lost Iron Bowl and the bowl game.

They fired Chizik after the 2012 season. His Championship was at the end of 2010. So, they gave him 2 years, but I still agree... quite a short leash on their coaches. The one that shocks me to this day is Tubberville.

Chizik won for two reasons - Malzahn & Newton. Otherwise, he would have been fired sooner.
