Changes On The Plains?

Well I was WRONG in a big way with my "breakout game" prediction. With that said the players seem to be losing complete faith and I can understand why. Here are a few quotes from players after last nights coaching breakdown. Regarding the changes, see the quote from Rod Smith below.

Kodi Burns
"We've got to figure something out," said Burns. "This -- man, I don't know. This isn't the Auburn I saw when I was recruited. This isn't the Auburn I saw last year. I don't know what's going on. "We've got to figure something out."

Rod Smith
"I don't know what we are right now – the spread, old Auburn offense. I'm just really confused right now," receiver Rod Smith said after the game. "Everybody is confused."

Smith said that Tuberville told the team after the game to expect big changes on offense, possibly as early as Sunday. Smith said he didn't know what those changes would be, only that they would "probably be drastic changes".

Here is some interesting info I found In a 7-23-08 article on ESPN.com:
Fact is, Franklin was unofficially blackballed from college coaching after writing his book about the rule-breaking and backbiting that undermined the Hal Mumme era at Kentucky. College coaches talk a lot about integrity, but the one thing they most prize are staffers who keep secrets. Franklin wouldn't do that, and it kept him out of college coaching for years. He wound up filing for bankruptcy.

"I've gotten a taste of it with my business in Texas and in Alabama," Franklin said. "They're very serious about it in both states. On the high school level in Texas, if you have a bad season, they'll fire you in the middle of the school year.

"The difference in Alabama? If you have a bad season, they'll kill you."

I don't think I would go that far, but the firing in the middle of the season seems rational.

I still can not figure out CTT decision to go for it on the first drive, we should have kicked the FG, I know we were moving the ball. With our D and the way the O had played all year we needed those points and that along with the mised extra point cost us the game. We will get things worked out, I personally will still live and die on each play next Saturday !

War Eagle !!!!!!!!

We're all just trying to have a good time here. Don't be a jerk, and we won't have a problem with you. War Eagle!
