Game
#12 - Peach Bowl
vs.
North Carolina
Auburn's
football season wasn't the only thing that ended with the Peach Bowl loss
last Monday. The coaching tenure of two Auburn coordinators ended
abruptly on New Year's Day - a result of not only a disappointing bowl
game performance but also of a total collapse at the end of the season.
Some
things had to change after a promising 6-1 start ended with a 1-4 finish.
I'm not sure what the changes will mean to the immediate future of the
Auburn football program. I'm not even sure how we'll someday look
back and evaluate the 2001 season. Right now the evaluation is painful
and leaves the Auburn nation with the unfulfilled expectation of a program
on the rise.
The
best we have to offer now is the old bitter mantra, "There's always next
year."
And,
of course, there is always next year. And, we, the Auburn faithful
will be right there with them ready for another helping of whatever they
have to offer.
