Auburn is 2-16 in the SEC
- Thread starter She Mate Me
- Start date
And some want Butch Thompson as HC
I’d rather they were 2-16 over 5-13.
Take the win.
Take the win.
Is there any thought he might be fired? He has done pretty well at Auburn but this year is really really bad.

You're reading something into this I didn't intend. Simply taking joy in their record.
I do hate it for Butch though.
I don't know. Their SEC schedule has been brutal, but if they don't finish with some positives against weaker competition, Cohen is in a very tough spot.
Fortunately the Aubies are so obsessed with beating Bama in football most don't even know they have a baseball team.
There may be 10 families with children on the team that care about Auburn baseball. Maybe.
So Foxhall is at Auburn now. I didn’t realize that’s where he landed after we canned him. He’s not the pitching coach but the “director of player development” or something like that. When I saw him Friday night, I couldn’t help but wonder, “is he the reason they are sucking it up this year?”.
No he’ll be back. His run from 2017-2023 earned him a lot of goodwill. Also his boss is his old buddy.
Fair enough. I saw this in the middle of a number of posts, tweets, etc. talking about how we can only beat bad teams and thought it was being posted in the same vein. Apologies if I unfairly maligned you.

Auburn is shockingly bad. I know their schedule is tough but man that’s a bad team.
Two CWS appearances has garnered some good will. I think he probably gets another a year, but man that is a rough, rough record. I'm sure he's feeling some pressure, but to echo a few other posters in the thread most of their fanbase doesn't even know they have a baseball team and John Cohen is the AD. I'd be shocked if he were let go.
They got the short end of the stick with the schedule this year. I mean I don’t think you can possibly have a tougher SEC schedule than they’ve had so far.
@ Vandy
Arkansas
@ A&M
Kentucky
Tennessee
@ State
Literally all of the Top 4 teams in the league that will be national seeds and then us and Vandy on the road. Now 2-16 is probably worse than they should be but their record was never going to be good in this stretch.
No worries. I'm not generally a **** on the Dawgs at all costs poster.
This ^^^. I know a pretty big Auburn booster. We were talking a few years ago, probably Butch’s third or fourth year, and i mentioned Butch in conversation and he was like, who? He knows 75% of the football team by their first name but didn’t have a clue who their baseball coach was, nor did he care.
Yeah, it's a ridiculously tough run of weekends. Basically the most difficult possible SEC schedule through 18 games based on current league standings.
And they've had 5 one run and 2 two run losses.

I know a few people well connected at Auburn. When they hired Cohen, an alarming amount had no idea he coached baseball here. People forget Butch had to raise money for a shed at Auburn. The university refused to give him money.
Good lord - They played #2, #1, #4 and #3 in a row. Plus a ranked Vandy and a ranked State, away. That's brutal.
