I’m not here to make excuses for anybody. Saturday was a disappointing showing of football for Auburn. Describing it as anything less would be an understatement.
Auburn fans had A LOT to say after the loss, most of the discussion were calls for Gus Malzahn to get fired.
Here’s the best of Auburn Twitter’s reactions to Auburn’s loss:
Agree with this thread. I love Auburn culture, but some of it needs to change. We need to stop accepting average and being “good”. We need different, we need new, we need a spark into this program. It feels FLAT! https://t.co/qIO2jlzAVg

This thread is fantastic, I strongly recommend everyone to read. To be honest, my heart sank when I saw Seth Williams and Bo Nix jarring at each other on the sidelines.
AU needs a culture change.
Gus has lost the locker room. It’s over when your “quarterback” and wide receiver 1 (Seth Williams) are fighting on the sideline. Then he says the week after “this team is extremely talented”. Cont down below.— Tank Bigsby Fan #FireGus #HireBrentVenables (@auburn_fanatic) October 17, 2020

I really feel like if you look past the 3 interceptions, terrible drops, inability to get a stop in the redzone & the inability to score while in the redzone it was a decent game by the Tigers

Gus Malzahn isn’t the answer at Auburn anymore. He’s a good guy and a good coach, but it’s just stale now. Auburn’s program shouldn’t be in this poor of shape in his eighth year.
Time to find a new coach.

Bo Nix vs Jarrett Guarantano is scheduled in five weeks and I think both Auburn and Tennessee should lie and say covid positives make playing the game impossible.

I think Tank Bigsby proved against Arkansas that he’s Auburn best offensive weapon so how you don’t have a game plan built around your best player is beyond me. Auburn tried to get cute by airing the ball out vs. USC instead of feeding the beast that Tank is. The result is an L

Oh, you thought Gus Malzahn could avoid losing four games again this season because they’re only playing ten?
You thought wrong.

Y’all know who does lose to his former assistants?
Gus Malzahn.

Bo Nix: 47 pass attempts, 15 rushes, 5.5 yards per play.
Tank Bigsby: 16 carries, 111 yards, 6.9 yards per play.
Does not add up.

I like Bo Nix.
I really like Gus Malzahn.
I've not been afraid to defend both of them.But that's tough right now.
Real tough.

Welp. Prepare for the worst next week against Ole Miss, cause it doesn’t look like this ship is getting righted any time soon. This team has major issues that need to get fixed, and it’s certainly not just focused on Bo Nix.
