The thing that confused me the most about picking a guy like Jackson Arnold is that he is a 20-year-old with less than a year of experience. My thinking was we needed a veteran to come in and teach the young guys. At least Mendoza and Murphy have significant experience.
Arnold’s situation was far more worse than Salters on top of that was his first year as the starter. His OC got fired mid season like what are we arguing here. Mendoza doesn’t fit this system
Notice how they said they didn't wanna hear the excuse about all the injuries on Oklahomas offense yet turned right around and was talking about salters situation?
It’s quite literally the identical conference schedule as this year, but home/away are flipped. So next years schedule is in fact easier than this years bc Georgia and Bama will be at home next year.
Auburn plays at Arkansas before playing Alabama. Alabama plays Eastern Illinois before playing Auburn. Big difference. Someone at Auburn either doesn’t care or is not paying attention to the details. Nick Saban would have pitched a fit if Bama played LSU or Georgia right before Auburn and would propose to play a school like Chattanooga or have an off week before the Iron Bowl. Why might you ask? This would be an opportunity to rest his starters and get any players with acute/minor injuries an opportunity to heal and recover for the Iron Bowl.
Who did Arnold have to throw to? Who did he have to protect him? How decision making is 10x better than Thorne. He was also the 3rd most sacked QB in FBS
I got torched and called a idiot when I posted this on the barn. A couple guys were like he is worse than Payton that's why he is leaving and won't play in the playoffs. I mean I checked and as far as I can tell he is still Qb1 on a playoff team. Yes I believe he transfers because they can't keep both next year but for people to say he is trash is crazy. I don't understand my fellow Auburn fans. WDE 🦅
Mendoza had 4 more passing tds on the year than Jackson Arnold let’s not act like he’s a godsend talent….Jackson Arnold def had a lot higher upside than Mendoza by a large margin
Not to mention the difference in competition they faced. Mendoza looked good against Auburn, but he would not have won that game for his team had PT not thrown the game away. They’re running down Jackson Arnold like he didn’t have easily the worst situation around him, especially after the first few games.
@@camg1145 yea… Oklahoma had one of the hardest schedules in the SEC and made a bowl game with much less offense that he would have around him at Auburn… still think MM would have been better. 😊
I hope he does, but it’s not about auburn getting someone who “could” prove you wrong, it’s the fact that they didn’t go get a guy that DOES prove you wrong.
Here’s a comparison for you.. Bo Nix at Auburn. He was also in a disaster situation. However, he had flashes. He won @dwath valley in LSU for the first time in over 20 years and also beat a Nick Saban coached Bama team. Arnold isn’t comparable. I don’t know of any flashes he has shown. How many times has he thrown for 200 yards?
I think smart coaches make these arrangements MONTHS before the Portal actually opens. Look at the mass exodus of the Wide Receiver bench from Tennessee. A Playoff team. It seems very intentional and I think the coaching staff is playing chess
Let’s wait to see if Ewers hits the portal We need a good or elite QB Ewers is both those we know a fact it’s either playoffs in 2025 or Freeze will be fired we all know it
i think Jackson was signed to be the back up to push Deuce and Walker....i dont think Jackson will be the starter. What blows me away so far is that there has been no mention of anyone on the offensive staff being fired yet
Jake’s a bit over the top on his ranting about Hugh Freeze and his picking Jackson Arnold. Crain needs to turn the volume down and stop yelling. Very uncomfortable to listen to him.
Yeah but he beat Bama once so you know he’s y’all’s guy👍🏼 you know that’s more important to yall than being consistently great always has been.. I mean ffs yall hired Deacon Hugh based off 2 crazy bounces almost 10 years ago he’s still coasting off those.
Jackson Arnold stinks that line started getting better and he still was worse he had plenty of time to throw the ball but he would just take the sack or throw the interception he would panic Happy feet I was worried about our first conference game against Auburn the next year but I'm not now because I've seen our defense tearing up and scrimmages
I dont know if JA will work out or not but remember the kid dint even have a QB coach Addd that to mid season fireing OC, top 6 WR out, OL with only 1 starter over the clurse kf the year and a TE that cannot catch a ball..... We will see
Like I'm sitting here thinking how is mandoza so much more special than Arnold? Or even Diego Pavia? How are they so much better than Arnold? Winning wise?
They’ve at least shown you something. Give Arnold all the excuses you want. You need a proven commodity. Personally I would’ve went after Salter. He knows the system and has shown he can do it. Freeze is betting his job based off of potential..
@@Iceman24424 it’s one thing to say “if Auburn doesn’t win 8 games next season, Freeze will be gone”, or “If Auburn gets Arnold, and he doesn’t perform, Freeze will be gone”. It’s a complete other and idiotic thing to say “Hugh Freeze will lose his job if he signs JA”, as if he won’t be allowed to coach 2025. Your statement is asinine, Cartell.
Jake was saying all season that he thought he knew who auburns next quarterback would be. Is the guy he was referring to not available? Or is Auburn just not pushing for him?
And what if Jackson Arnold balls out for whoever he plays for and whoever wr get is worse than Thorne? Every guy on Auburns list is a huge gamble. So why not go with the guy with the higher upside In Arnold? Like I said either way it's a high risk situation .
I usually agree with the guys, but I’m not sure about this one. They vouch for Salter when he had a very identical situation as Arnold. No lineman and receivers will make any quarterback look terrible
In a weak acc conference.... Maalik has a cannon yes but he showed inconsistency throwing at times and his decision making needs improvement. He also isnt mobile hardly at all and in the sec you have to be able to extend plays with your legs. The man had -19 rushing yards on the year...
If hugh freeze has a losing year this year... he may have one more year or Auburn Football will have a new head coach in 2026. Those are the only two choices...
I think it will be the opposite. Sark will get killed by the fans if he lets his manning who they already want to bench Quinn for leaving with 4 years left over a 1 year guy.
It doesn’t matter Auburn has a dysfunctional Coach Freeze fire him now ! Let go Coach Baptist Church High School Football he’s extemporaneously inarticulate and illiterate
@@Iceman24424He said his visit was great and checked all the boxes. Maybe the guy likes to think over his decisions, talk to his family. We don’t know what all is being discussed or decided.
And hire who? After already firing and paying 20 mil each to the last two coaches Auburn settled for freeze after losing on a couple. So firing a third after 2 years and paying another 25 to 35 million. I doubt you would get Rhett if you offered him double money. Our last 3 coaches are either coordinators or retired. Not a good look
The thing that confused me the most about picking a guy like Jackson Arnold is that he is a 20-year-old with less than a year of experience. My thinking was we needed a veteran to come in and teach the young guys. At least Mendoza and Murphy have significant experience.
He has plenty of experience. If you aren't good enough after starting in the SEC for a year, then it's time yo move on.
You could not have stated that any better. Spot on! Go get Mendoza!!
He beat Alabama, which is basically the only criteria for Auburn hires. Makes sense they'd use the same approach for transfer players.
He didn't beat Alabama. Turnovers and defense beat Alabama.
Walker White has announced he will enter the portal. I don't blame the young man at all. Much success to him.
Arnold’s situation was far more worse than Salters on top of that was his first year as the starter. His OC got fired mid season like what are we arguing here. Mendoza doesn’t fit this system

Totally agree..
I completely agree with my good ol’ friends, the Crain Brothers. And our schedule next year is tougher than this year’s was.
It’s quite literally the identical conference schedule as this year, but home/away are flipped. So next years schedule is in fact easier than this years bc Georgia and Bama will be at home next year.

@@quietservantleader4ChristAuburn plays Vandy, BYE, then Mercer before Alabama..... What are you smoking?
@@quietservantleader4Christ you’re looking at the wrong schedule. Auburn plays Mercer before Auburn. This year’s schedule is easier
Arnold having 3 picks in 4 games sounds like a delight compared to what Payton was doing
Freeze blew it again with Murphy. Curt Crains kid is right.
Who did Arnold have to throw to? Who did he have to protect him? How decision making is 10x better than Thorne. He was also the 3rd most sacked QB in FBS
Murphy wanted to talk it over with his father.
Quinn Ewers to Auburn book it
Isn’t he going to the NFL?

Never gonna happen buddy
nah
we got PT 2.0 LETS GO 6-6 HERE WE COME
Mendoza had 4 more passing tds on the year than Jackson Arnold let’s not act like he’s a godsend talent….Jackson Arnold def had a lot higher upside than Mendoza by a large margin

Exactly! I’m excited to see Arnold playing for Auburn next season. I hope Hugh and staff grab him before he goes elsewhere!
@@camg1145 yea… Oklahoma had one of the hardest schedules in the SEC and made a bowl game with much less offense that he would have around him at Auburn… still think MM would have been better. 😊
Do your homework on the situation at Oklahoma. Was an absolute disaster for any QB. or WR or OL.
Just watch JA will prove you wrong
I hope he does, but it’s not about auburn getting someone who “could” prove you wrong, it’s the fact that they didn’t go get a guy that DOES prove you wrong.

Mendoza and Salter probably fit better than most could maybe win 8.
Man I watched Cal Qb in person at auburn and he’s not a fit for Auburn
I think smart coaches make these arrangements MONTHS before the Portal actually opens. Look at the mass exodus of the Wide Receiver bench from Tennessee. A Playoff team. It seems very intentional and I think the coaching staff is playing chess
Jackson Arnold fits the system better than anyone available
Let’s wait to see if Ewers hits the portal We need a good or elite QB Ewers is both those we know a fact it’s either playoffs in 2025 or Freeze will be fired we all know it
@@GracieSkywalkerlol it’s 8 wins or he’s fired not playoffs that’s absolutely ridiculous
Hugh isn’t going anywhere! Definitely got your facts mixed up with “your opinion “
What System ⁉️🤷🏾♂️
i think Jackson was signed to be the back up to push Deuce and Walker....i dont think Jackson will be the starter. What blows me away so far is that there has been no mention of anyone on the offensive staff being fired yet
Thanks for saying it….my thoughts exactly. When I saw Mendoza….he had to be impressed with AU game day environment. Go recruit him Hugh.
Jake’s a bit over the top on his ranting about Hugh Freeze and his picking Jackson Arnold. Crain needs to turn the volume down and stop yelling. Very uncomfortable to listen to him.
But he’s right
Mendoza got beat by Florida state lmao
Why didn’t we go get Mendoza? That guy is a gamer!
Mendoza schools list, Georgia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Miami, and UCLA
If Freeze is not seeking a proven QB, it will be one for the ages. Arnold is a prima donna, there are better options.
Who is a better option
What has salter or Murphy proven? Murphy had a 57 qbr In a week acc and salter didn't look good at all last year.
Itll be three times jake. First was picking thorne. 2nd was doubling down on thorne. So this will be his third strike
Yeah but he beat Bama once so you know he’s y’all’s guy👍🏼 you know that’s more important to yall than being consistently great always has been.. I mean ffs yall hired Deacon Hugh based off 2 crazy bounces almost 10 years ago he’s still coasting off those.
LSU got a better QB in the portal for their backup spot than Auburn did for their starting spot lol
Arnold must have hurt Jay boy's feelings
It's got to be so demoralizing to be an Auburn fan.
Freeze doesn't know a 5star QB if it bit him in the his ads.
Jackson Arnold stinks that line started getting better and he still was worse he had plenty of time to throw the ball but he would just take the sack or throw the interception he would panic Happy feet I was worried about our first conference game against Auburn the next year but I'm not now because I've seen our defense tearing up and scrimmages
FERNANDO MENDOZA! ive been saying his name since he got in the portal
6 wins yay‼️ that’s about all this program can expect at this point
Let’s be real, the only reason they chose him is because he led Oklahoma to a win over Alabama.
Arnold had a OL that was MUCH worse than Auburn’s and was down to 3rd and 4th string receivers. The tools are there of HF will utilize them.
When did Captain Crunch become a part of this show?
Crain is the realest
Peyton Thorn beat the Aggies.
Your telling me we good get MENDOZA????
yeah if arnold doesn’t work out it’s not going to look good for hugh.. unless knight beats him out and shocks everybody
I think y'all wrong that's all I got to say Brock ewers will leave texas
Quinn and hopefully
I dont know if JA will work out or not but remember the kid dint even have a QB coach
Addd that to mid season fireing OC, top 6 WR out, OL with only 1 starter over the clurse kf the year and a TE that cannot catch a ball.....
We will see
JA might be a dude in wouldn’t look at his film with that OL and 6!WR out he had ZERO chance of success
Bad qb to auburn .....pattern here ??
PLS MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT UNLV. THEYVE HAD MOTION THE LAST TWO YEARS AND JUST RAISED THE BET. UNLV TO THE PLAYOFF 2025-2026
We are the worst fan base no support for the players! If we got 10 star qb you would still gripe!!!!
Get Fernando Mendoza 😊
Like I'm sitting here thinking how is mandoza so much more special than Arnold? Or even Diego Pavia? How are they so much better than Arnold? Winning wise?

Hugh Freeze is about to lose his job if he decides on JA…
^^^ Garbage take - not only that, Auburn is likely to add another portal QB

Quin hasn’t entered the portal yet
Obviously, Auburn wants to keep losing. Jackson Arnold sucks.
A top QB will never come to Auburn..
Mendoza sucks he’s tuff but he’s definitely not an SEC QB
Thank you !!! Finally someone is saying it. Freeze can't afford to take Jackson Arnold at this point.
Auburn needs to wait to see who hits the portal Quinn Ewers please WDE
And what if Jackson Arnold balls out for whoever he plays for and whoever wr get is worse than Thorne? Every guy on Auburns list is a huge gamble. So why not go with the guy with the higher upside In Arnold? Like I said either way it's a high risk situation .
Damn can't listen to this!
This guy has no clue what he's talking about.
You said you’ll get somebody that beat you like Jackson Arnold didn’t beat us lol
Sankey sure does give Bama easy schedules. Their November versus Auburn’s November is much easier.
I usually agree with the guys, but I’m not sure about this one. They vouch for Salter when he had a very identical situation as Arnold. No lineman and receivers will make any quarterback look terrible
What's funny is they bring up context for why the guys they want didn't look good but yet they ignore Jackson Arnold's situation... Lol
The only right answer is Fernando Mendoza.
😂😂😂 nah
I like you guys get paid by the level of stupidity in your content.
We should have won 8 this year…get a few breaks and we don’t have 7 losses
Big mistake if he passes on Malik. Look at what he did this year as first full season
In a weak acc conference.... Maalik has a cannon yes but he showed inconsistency throwing at times and his decision making needs improvement. He also isnt mobile hardly at all and in the sec you have to be able to extend plays with your legs. The man had -19 rushing yards on the year...

Go 5 and 7 again and find out.
Win or fire your coach and get another mediocre coach that drops you even further, recruits leave then you will be saying we need to fire the coach
Quinn stays at Texas and arch Manning to Auburn. Book it.
I think it will be the opposite. Sark will get killed by the fans if he lets his manning who they already want to bench Quinn for leaving with 4 years left over a 1 year guy.
Step away from the pipe bro.😂
Why can’t Arnold just be the back-up to whatever better comes in the portal later? Like Mateer..?
