Duke Williams kicked off the team
- Thread starter JustNeedMe81
- Start date
FWIW, I think this is a step in the right direction for the API locker room, though it's probably too late to help much this year.
Part of what Gus (and Oregon) are struggling with is that you need a fast Heisman level QB to make the system really go. Those are harder to come by, develop, and keep healthy than it sounds like. You can't just plug any 4-star QB recruit into that system and be guaranteed success. The other problem for it is that the officials are enforcing the rules and handling it differently. You don't see those overweight zebras running around like Keystone Kops just because Gus and Cam are hollering at them to hurry up. They are mostly enforcing the rule about allowing the D to substitute and get into position if the O does. They are even at least trying to watch QB over the LOS and Linemen downfield on pass attempts. If you go back and watch a replay of how those games were officiated during Cam's year versus this year, you'll see the differences pretty quickly.
Defenses have clearly adjusted. D coordinators have clued into the fact that first down is so critical. Get them behind the sticks on first down and they are in trouble. Also, the successful play / immediate repetition has been sniffed out. There are other Xs and Os.
With the right QB you can be competitive at the highest level with what they are doing, but not like a few years ago when it was brand new and you only saw it once a season.

Oh no, all of the fired employees are still on the payroll. The barn is like the "Hotel California".

You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
You thought Tubs was in Cincinnati? Nope, here he is at the "Walk" last Saturday (San Jose State).
According to the local show here in Montgomery, Duke got into multiple fights over the last few months. The fight Saturday night occurred at an establishment that had banned him from attending. Gus had also banned Duke from visiting the establishment.

I hope aubie was not paying DUKE ! If so he looks like the kind of THUG that would get high on dope and rat them out !!!!
I'm trying to figure out what Tubbs is doing here. It looks like he is pointing at Malzahn like, "you the man, Malzahn." Very weird.Oh no, all of the fired employees are still on the payroll. The barn is like the "Hotel California".

What we don't know is who else is around. His son may be close to the front of the line and he was pointing at him. Hard to say without any context - but it has been fun to make up stuff though.

He's probably saying "Hey GUS! You're next Coach to hit the "Former AU Coaches Set For Life Lottery"!!!
I hate to hear about Williams getting kicked off the team seems like a typical fambly member to me. It is sad when you get kicked of that team you have to really screw up. Oh well they will grab a guy from Georgia or Florida that has been kicked off there team to replace him.
I think so. From what I am hearing the fact that he was not cut before the season surprised almost everyone in the know. He was on a ridiculously short leash, and had been tugging at the leash all season. I keep hearing that everyone on the coaching staff were at their wits end with him, and that the bar fight was just a good reason to do what they all wanted to do already. Like someone said earlier if it hadn't been for Craig he wouldn't have lasted this long. A lot of this was rumor, but I don't think it is anymore.
A short leash with a very long and wide catch radius for "penitence" if the Cow College were 5-0 and had somebody capable of flinging the ol' pigskin cow patties to him.
The problem is that in addition to being a problem off of the field, he was not competing when the ball wasn't coming to him. It is all hypothetical of course. There is a fair amount (and it may actually be somewhat accurate) of people blaming how bad Johnson played partly on Williams. Taking plays off, not blocking, not competing when the ball isn't coming your way, and not working to help your QB when he is in trouble. I am not going to go back and watch Auburn game film even if you pay me, but the complaints were happening even when they were undefeated. Some are saying this is why CGM made the QB completion comments.
