Auburn finally broke a streak last weekend: Ole Miss was 0-16 in the SEC, but the Tigers ended the Rebel’s winless streak. Now the calls for a changing of the guard are getting louder, and a certain neckbrace-wearing motorcycle enthusiast is being mentioned. Let’s see what they’re saying about him on the Auburn message boards.
"I’m 27 and this is the worse AU team I have ever seen. I’m just wondering were we ever this bad in the earlier years?"
"You’re about to find out why the “old timers” hate bammer so much. Like the 70′, the press is in love with Lil’ Nick. It’s going to be a mess. Since it seems almost certain Chizik is gone, let’s rally around the players and leave the bad mouthing to our enemies. I love AU, win or lose."
"I’m definately an old timer at 69 and I’ve seen several poor performing Auburn teams over the years such as the ones in the middle to late 60’s which were aveage at best, but I’ve never see a team as talented as this one which performed at such a horrible level where their intensity is gone; their technique is missing; their desire is questionable; and they don’t seem to learn or improve. Shug’s last year was also bad. I must say that I don’t put all of this on Chiz though. The position coaches are the ones responsible for teaching and the Head Coach is the motivator and CEO. It may well be that Chiz has made poor choices with respect to his position coaches and it’s beginning to be revealed. Any way it ends, it’s still HIS responsibility and as such, he will pay for it."
"I thought jet gate taught us Auburn people do not talk to coaches while our coach is still coaching and if they are they should hung in the town square."
"If we aren’t talking to potential replacements now we are dumber than I thought."
"The only thing Auburn did wrong in Jetgate was get caught."
"if petrino is hired at Auburn we will have to revise the Auburn Creed"
"This is football, not church. I don’t give a damn what he believes. We don’t have to have a christian head coach. We need someone who can win us some damn football games."
"Do you morons even know some of the indregressions our past coaches have been involved in? He’ll, even current staff members?"
"We have a bible beater for a head coach and he has run the ark into jagged rocks and broken a big hole in the bow!!! The ark is sinking!!! Got it! So give captain hook a chance….."
"Troop is not the problem. I actually wish he would go ahead and leave, beacause you people do not understand or appreciate what he does for the program. I really wish he would just go and let you guys have your 2* recruits Lochapoka, Reeltown, and Sweet Water. Whoever is hire, I will do a ban bet that he keeps Troop on staff if he wants to stay, because nody is better in the country at what he does."
"I would rather lose with Auburn than win with spuat. If you don’t see it that way than you are a bammer window-licker or worse a leg-humper."
"PHUCK PHUCK PHUCK TJ YELDON! I hope he get’s broken in half every time he touches the ball. I wish nothing but the worst for that punk ass chicken shit. Did I mention PHUCK HIM!"
"If you think Auburn is struggling now then try firing the coach mid season and see how that ends. I’d guarantee loses to Alabama A&M and New Mexico if that happened. If there is a change it should happen the Monday after the Iron Bowl. That being said if Chizik isn’t fired I think Pelton should be gone and Loeffler will probably be gone."
"You’re a tard. we may go 1-1 against them if he is retained. changing now saves the class we all want."
"Putting them in those daisy duke practice shorts killed their confidence for the year."
"Are we gonna have to suffer through the rest of the year before it happens?"
"I usually drink Bourben and Coke while watching football. I decided it was to early to drink for this game. I really should have drank because they only look bad when I am buzzed, but when I am sober they look pathetic."
"Chizik is the type man that he would step down if he felt he had lost this team. You can count on it. He isn’t like one of these dingle berries that will hang on and hang on in disbelief. Don’t trust what you hear him say publicly. He is not going to throw a guy or guys under the bus like some coaches. He will take the blame even when not his. He is a master at coach speak."
"How long has it been sense we were an underdog to Vandy?"
"Not even CLOSE to rock bottom …. we’ll be 5 1/2 point dogs to alabama ….. A&M."
"auburn has regress to the barfield era !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Barfield had a winning record"
