[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 913105, member: 2957"] I was at the Auburn game last night. Lost five in a row. Several of the starters are my students and you could tell they just want the season over. Carnell Williams, a former Auburn player, is hired as interim. AU fired Harsin and everyone associated with him. Williams has no head coaching experience, but a lot of friends (in Atlanta) who were former teammates with him at Auburn and his buddies from the NFL. He said he talked to them by phone, 3-4 times a day. "What do I do? How do I handle this? How do I motivate this guy?" What you can't deny, just watching and listening to him, is the unbridled LOVE of the school, his PRIVILEGE of being there (again), and his absolute FAITH in what they were doing. An Auburn team showed up that no one had seen ... ALL YEAR. A&M sucks, but ... they were pre-season 6. Tech has former players, NFL players, coaches etc ... all of whom can contribute. I wonder if we tap into that? I suspect not. I am reminded of James Stockdale, the most senior naval officer held captive in the Hanoi Hilton. He said that to survive, to make it out, you must have unwavering faith and commitment that things [I]will get better[/I], while never forgetting the horror of what you are experiencing. We will get better. But sometimes, you have to hit absolute rock bottom first. [/QUOTE]
