But despite their Peach Bowl victory over Tommy Bowden's equally inept crew, you cannot install a new offense overnight. In addition, Auburn had a new quarterback, and only in rare cases do brand new quarterbacks become a sensation in the SEC.<BR/><BR/>So everyone should have expected that there would be bumps in the road, instead of hitting the panic button way too soon.<BR/><BR/>Todd didn't strike me as that much better than Burns. With so much upside for Burns, why not play him and take your lumps now, with the hope of being really good next year? Why not accept that the offense wouldn't be clicking right away, and keep working at it? Why not let the guy run the offense he was hired to run? Instead, they went with Todd, and started changing the offense.<BR/><BR/>I don't know enough to say whether the offensive position coaches are incompetent. They certainly haven't been demonstrating their competence on Saturdays. And a loss to Arkansas was far, far worse than losing to the respectable teams like LSU and Vandy. <BR/><BR/>So now CTT has to pull one out of his hind quarters. I for one have been willing to give him a pass up until now; the man has beaten uat six straight times and has been as successful overall as anyone at Auburn. But if this season completely collapses, there's really no one left to blame.Lein Shoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820817843320160010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29066645.post-29240568267859961992008-10-13T09:07:00.000-04:002008-10-13T09:07:00.000-04:00I would love to know how many phone calls people a...I would love to know how many phone calls people are receiving asking their thoughts on Auburn Football. I received 9 last week. I only count the ones who are really asking what's going on, and not calling to rub in CTT's folly. I agree with you will we are looking at a very bad season. Sad with the talent we have on the field and the promise the season held (you said it earlier 2003?) Can CTT rally the troops and turn the ship? What does he have to do to save his skin and perform this turn around? My two cents - he needs to let the new Offensive Coordinator hire his own staff. And I hate to say this, but he needs to find a replacement ASAP, or we will be losing recuits and we will be in a 5 year hole.Kevin Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966422821506358668noreply@blogger.com
