How do you say goodbye and thanks for nothing at the same time? Just run it through ChatGPT.
Auburn, that’s exactly what you deserved. I wonder if Hugh was using AI to call offensive plays this season, too?
I know that’s a lot of Auburn content for one day, but sometimes, there’s never enough to emphasize just how much the Barner world is the black hole of the college football world.
At least they have all those Championships now, amirite?
But it’s the officiating. Hmmm.
Well, they claim the 1957 title when they were on probation, which certainly makes sense for the school that employed Hugh Sleeze and Bruce Pearl, names their field after Pat Dye and celebrates $cam Newton.
I like trucks.
If I were I an Auburn or LSU person (very glad I’m not) I’d be mad as hell at universities having to come up with mega-buyout money in exchange for a piss-poor effort from their recently fired coaches. Okay, I get it that a lot of coaches don’t have the maniacal work effort of a guy like Kirby. But how do you accumulate talent or get better when your HC is a weekly golfer….in-season? I think we’re on the verge of seeing a lot of coaches successful in the pre-NIL era (I’m looking at you Dabo) fall by the wayside in the new world of talent acquisition. Look at the attrition! Almost all of them older dudes unwilling to adapt.
Or put in the work necessary. Laziness shouldn’t be rewarded.
Sorry–wanted to add that last bit. I despise seeing lazy fyacks getting golden parachutes like this.
A $15.8 million buyout after going 6-16 in SEC games. I was trying to remember Freeze’s record, thought, “6-16? He can’t have been THAT bad,” then Googled it. 6-16.
Dabo hasn’t had a problem with acquisition or retention. He just hasn’t embraced shoring up the holes in his roster with the portal under the guise that very few players in the portal would be upgrades over his existing talent.
Dabo’s problem is that he hasn’t had a great OC since Chad Morris left and he hasn’t had a blue chip QB become a Watson/Lawrence type of player.
I’d add that since Venables left I don’t think that the Clemson defense has been the same either. I don’t know if it is because Clemson hasn’t been able to attract the same talent as pre-NIL days or if it is Venables, but based on the Oklahoma defense I would say that Venables at least had a hand in what the Clemson defense used to be.
No doubt. I’m sure there are some schematic things (and if you’re a conspiracy theorist, sign theft) BV brought that he’s doing back in Norman.
Does DJ Durkin get this job?
Seems a good fit. The cheater/whore monger didn’t work out so why not go with the murderer? His defense played well.
Yet another sign that 2025 is drunk and crazy: Bobby Petrino and D.J. Durkin are head coaches in the SEC. Interim head coaches, but still.
It just means more.
Could not have happened to a better fella…hope that golf game improved enough for him to join the Tour…
I bet Lizard Hugh is hell on wheels with the cart girls.
On the coaching carousel, does a high profile school try to convince Todd Monken to come back to college as a head coach at a Power 4? He’s only 59.
I doubt it happens, but if Dumbo (60) is being considered a candidate for head coaching jobs, I would at least kick the tires on a guy who has shown he can scheme it up.
Dumbest thing that I saw on social media this morning: article suggesting that maybe Dabo should try to get the LSU job.
Is that Clemson people desperate for Dabo to leave without forking over the buyout?
Article isn’t the right word. X account for college football stuff in general asking if LSU should make a run at Dabo since a change of scenery might do him good…as if LSU would hire Dabo with how things have been going at Clemson recently.
When will they learn the universal truth the rest of mankind knows?…Auburn sucks.
I had the Miami-SMU game up on the multiview for a bit. They kept panning to Eric Dickerson and the hooker killer himself Craig James while showing “National Champions 1981 1982” displayed in their stadium. I guess at this point anyone can claim a previous Natty. Even the only team to ever get the Death Penalty.
It probably never happened but I remember people used to post about Craig James being found with five dead hookers.
Just crazy to think about Craig James being found with five dead hookers.
When you are at Auburn and you have lost Yellawood, goodbye.
does the barn say i will raise your bruce pearl and hugh freeze/dj durkin hires and raise you with an art briles/bobby petrino combo platter.
Art Briles is rested and ready!
Maybe the Yella Fella can grease some palms and get Jerry Sandusky out early. I’m sure he’d love to coach again.
He better have an asbestos suit. Isn’t Sandusky dead? Of course, Auburn is used to dealing with the devil.
