Guys. It's over when you can't move the ball, when the O-line can't block. It's done.

Auburn is out of the picture in terms of any type of championship. Like I said all week, this doesn't get fixed overnight. Those expecting a miraculous turn around almost saw it but the running game was short lived.

Auburn is 4-2 and it won't be long before they're 5-3. This is a 7-5 team and maybe 8-4 with some luck somewhere along the way.

Auburn is now the laughing stock on the SEC...officialy.

Unbelievable. Hello, Tuberville-it's time to do something. Auburn just lost to Vandy thanks to your idiotic hire. I'm with Barkley-Troy's looking pretty good. Todd shouldn't set foot on another SEC field. Go play for the PAC 10-this is the * SEC!!!

8:14 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

I don't think Todd or Kodi should play. They both suck. Play Caudle or give Trotter a try. Fire all offensive coaches, let Rhoades be the interim head and let the GA's run the offense. I'm not drinking. I'm serious as hell.

8:16 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Neither Todd nor Burns is the guy. I will say yet again that I don't think the problem is Tony Franklin. He hasn't been given a fair shot yet.

I believe the problem is Hugh Nall, Eddie Gran, Steve Emsminger and Greg Knox. Mainly Nall. The offensive line is terrible. Think about it people. It follows a pattern. Other than head coach, those are the constants on our coaching staff.

I've been on my "Nall must go" kick since at least 2002 and am not getting off of it any time soon. Of course, this is a fan who's never been a big fan of Tommy Tuberville.

CTF should be fired immediately. The guy is an amateur and has no business coaching at this level.

8:20 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

You're right ... it's not Franklin. It's his ego and his offense.

Line up, get down in a three point, run the ball ... score two touchdowns in one quarter.

Start running the TOTAL BS Suck Spread and watch the whole freakin' thing implode like a fart I'm going to hold in church tomorrow.

Franklin sucks and he really is a DUMBASS. So is CTT for nothing less than hiring this idiot.

I have always like Steve Spurrier. Anybody have his number?

NO MORE PASSING FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. ONLY I-FORMATION FOOTBALL WITH RUNNING PLAYS. THIS STRATEGY ACTUALLY WOULD WIN AGAINST VANDY.

Tomorrows news conference will read as follows. CTF: Well Hell Im not happy I would boo too. I looked at the film and I was nothing that Chris did that would not want him to start for us next week.. Burns is a good QB but he just don't make his reads.

CTT: We had our chances. We just gotta keep choppin that would. We will continue with Todd at QB but hey Kodi will play he is important to our offense and our program.

The bottom line is we got a QB that can't throw a QB that has happy feet and receivers that can't catch.

BS.

Phred I couldn't agree more. The Auburn family was sold a bill of goods with CTF and his "system". Maybe I should develop an offensive system that is FUBAR and sell it for big $$??

8:31 PM  
Blogger mytommyd said...

Shouldn't we have been able to see improvement SOMEWHERE between LaMo and tonight's game? Okay so there are some injuries, but our team looks and plays like they are absolutely lost. With the exception of the first quarter when we ran 5 different plays for 2 touchdowns

8:32 PM  
Blogger TB said...

You would think we learned our lesson in the mid ninties with Tiny Terry's offense. That was our first experience with a spread offense. It got us no where. But we are trying it again. I would hate to burn Trotter but heck Coddle needs to be looked at now. CTF has not credability in his evaluation of QB's it is time for a major change. I coulld put up with losing the rest of the games if we could just find some kind of leadership on the offensive side.

Both the games we've lost have been to backup quarterbacks, yet neither of our first two are good enough to beat a quality opponent. This leads me to believe that a lot of teams have qbs riding the pine that would be starting at auburn, yet we can't find them.

CTF reminds me of the 10-year-old I played in NCAA Football 09 on the PS3. Running the same shotgun spread crap over and over without a clue. We succeeded running the I in the first quarter. You don't scrap the entire formation because Vandy adjusted to it; you tweak it and don't just totally blow it up. This is a joke. Shug Jordan is turning in his grave watching this clueless offense.

Simplifying things isn't going to cut it.

There is a cardinal sin in the SEC and this is losing to Vanderbilt. You can stomach a loss to the MSST or KY every blue moon, but not Vanderbilt.

You make a good point Hoopie. Auburn was "desperate" to do something after St. Nick came to T-Town and shook things up. CTT thought the spread was that something. It may be helping in recruiting this year but it sure as hell isn't helping on the field.

Fellas, enough of calling for tubs head. Jeez. Franklin is fair game, but Tuberville has been awesome for us.

I don't know even know what to think. It's obvious to me we don't have good receivers or qbs. That's bad for a team that insists on passing.

Also, did anyone else notice how horribly Pybus played? If he doesn't get on the field, I am convinced we win. I have never seen a lb out of position os many times in my life.

Folks, CTF aint the problem. That is not his offense that we are running. We don't know what offense we are running....if you are going to go to the spread, go to it and get all of the offensive coaches on board or change them out. CTF is being sold out and undermined by the other coaches on the offensive staff. The offensive line is confused, the running backs are confused and we are confused. Vandy hasn't beat us since Ike was pres and there is no way they have more talent. Kodi aint the savior either. Earn your salary Tubbs and decide which offense you are going to run and stick with it.
