Will AU be better in 2010

#1AUfan · 11-17-2009, 09:58 AM

Listening to talk radio in Atlanta yesterday i heard former UGA coach Donnan say that Auburn would be worse next year than this. I for one think he is wrong. We will lose 4 starters on offense and 3 on defense. Only Tate on offense and Coleman on defense will be hard to replace. The defense was the worst at Auburn in my 50 plus years of watching and if we are worse next year Coach Donnan may be right. So far we have at least 11 commits on defense and hope to get a few more. Coach Roof did a good job at GT and will do the same at Auburn with better recruits and more depth. Auburn must do a better job recruiting on defense and Coach Roof will turn this around. We may have to sign some Juco players to improve our experience. Chizik and staff did better than expected this year with the limited talent and i think next year we should improve to 8-9 wins. What say you Auburn fans.

I believe we will have close to the same record as this year. 2011 will be our year

I think they could be improved, but you guys will be starting a LOT of true freshmen. You'll have to in order to shore up these depth issues. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chizik go after some JUCO guys too.

Okay think about all the guys we lose...
Now think about the guys we get back next year because of injury....like McNeil and Savage. That sures up our backfield right there. We're RBU, I love Tate but he's replaceable. We lose Coleman, but this year he hasn't played 100% in any game. How big of a loss will he actually be? We have 4 seniors on the OL. Rollison is going to be a beast. It's shocking to say this, but our WR's are now a strength of this team. Do we lose any LB's? I don't think so, add in the 2 back ups out for the year and we'll be even deeper again. We lose McFadden but like I said Savage will be back to pair with Thorpe. McNeil back with Etheridge (I hope) or Evans. Washington can play S or CB. Byrum is looking great and we still have Shoemaker back for a P. This team will only get better. Right now I have to say about 8 wins next year. In 2011, look out.

My main concern is offensive line. I think we'll do at least as good next year as we did this one, and perhaps a bit better. Our schedule flips so most of our tough games will be at home so that will help as well. Malzahn will be closer to what he wants talent-wise to run his full system so that's a plus as well. If these young players can develop we may surprise many people.

Our quarterback play accompanied with our offensive line could be the difference in 7 wins or 10 wins. I'm not ready to say much yet because we still have 2 big games left on our schedule. I hope Rollison turns out to be a good QB, we could have a bunch of guys grow up together and eventually be a great team.

I agree with Crusty, we will have 7 or 8 maybe 9 wins next year but watch out for 2011. We are bringing in very good recruits but like almost all new entrys into SEC football it will take a year or so to get up to SEC speed. If all of our recruits live up to expectation with Tyric Rollison to lead us in 2011, with one year of playing experience, I think we will make noise in 2011. Same on defence, CTR is doing OK recruiting but as we have seen with El Toro this year it takes a while to learn to play at SEC speed. Watch out for 2011 - WDE!!!

unfortunately your one good recruiting year doesnt promise much......hopefully chizik can have successive recruiting years........sooooo as of right now I would plan on fighting for fourth place in the SEC West with Ole Miss and Mississippi State cuz Bama will lock up first, I see Arky overcoming LSU for 2nd, LSU 3rd

I think CGC and the rest of his staff will continue to recruit strong not only in the Southeast but other areas of the nation in which they are familiar. With recruiting looking at high school players from their sophmore through senior seasons I feel sure there are other young players they are watching and will be recruiting. I think our staff will not settle for recruiting bammers left overs but will try their best to recruit against bammer, will they win all of the time or most of the time, no but they will start picking up their share of 5 and 4 star recruits as they started to do in their first real year of recruiting. I reall think CGC and his staff will make life in the Southeast more interesting in the coming years than it has been in the past two years. WDE!!!
