But he also didn't fit the offense and got suspended the first game of the year. Maybe Joe doesn't trust KT either- regardless I think benching Nick could have been a mistake long term if you are talking about optics and QB recruiting.




I agree that you have to get more talent to fix that and make it more consistent. But our run/pass ratio was basically the same in 2018 as it was in 2017. The main difference I saw on paper was we actually increased our QB runs by 12% compared to 2017.




I don't think that Auburn fans and A&M fans demand that the coach to go to a run heavy offense because of it though. Or use that as an example of the coach not running a system that fits the personnel. Our fans tend to go to extremes because of one play that doesn't work out for us.
If you are concerned with any of that in the first paragraph then it shows your mind aint right. His job is to prepare his players for life after he leaves them and to win. None of that has anything to do with those. Promotion and records dont make a damn at the end of the day. If he wasnt the best one or he wasnt doing what we coached him to do he shouldve been benched. Period. He didnt do that in the bowl and he left him out there instead of putting KT in. That is fact.
