Did anyone else notice how Bean disappeared after he was pulled in the UTEP game?  I couldn’t find him on the sidelines anywhere.   Never saw him staying warmed up.  Never saw him pumping up the team.   Never saw him congratulating players when they came off the field.  
 

Possibly bigger than his turnover issues could be an attitude problem.  Some of Seth’s subtle comments in interviews earlier in the year seemed to point toward something going on there, and not just during the games.  This might be why he has such a short leash.  He may not be rating high on the Selfless, Tough, and Disciplined scale.

I've brought this up several times. He put on the big jacket and stayed as far away from the offense as possible.

Clearly gets butt hurt too easily. Sorry bud this is Division 1 FBS football, nut up and be a team player.

That’s a big problem with this team. A lot of players not really playing for the team, but just wanting to do stuff for themselves. 

That's the direction that collegiate and professional sports have taken and it has even trickled itself into high school athletics. It's all about "building my brand" or "getting mine" or "I'm gonna look out for me", etc. etc. It is a mixture of the new wave generation moving up, but like most things evil, social media plays a significant role in this mindset.

His attitude could in no way impact the team more than his turning the ball over. His turnovers have been really terrible. 

If his attitude includes not putting the needed work in during the week, then one could certainly lead to the other.

I watched Bean stay detached and disinterested from the rest of the team the whole UTEP game. Its quite embarassing. Kason Martin was right there with Aune every time going over plays and listing to the coaches... Bean on the other hand was back near the bench area by himself with a big jacket on all night. 

EDIT: and this is in no way a Bean hate post. I like the Kid and in the open field he is almost unstoppable, but the attitude is not yet where it needs to be. Hopefully he fixes that in the off season.

He has 6 turnovers. Bean has 5, with about 90 less dropbacks.

May want to check your math.  4 fumbles and 4 picks.  
 

4 + 4 = 8.  Or it least it did when I got my North Texas degree. 
 

Oh, and did I mention that (even after Aune’s 5 TD performance against the nation’s worst defense) Bean still has accounted for more total touchdowns than Aune...by a count of 17 to 15.  
 

So 2 more touchdowns, and 2 LESS times coughing it up...but what we value most in a quarterback is how they appear to be acting while not in the game?  I think I understand now why there’s a problem.

May want to check your meme, which said turnovers. 2 fumbles LOST and 4 picks.

2 fumbles were not lost, just as Bean has a fumble that we recovered. Bean actually has a higher turnover rate.

I stand corrected.  As long as someone is around to jump on the ball when Aune coughs it up (at times without being touched) we’re golden.

Even if you factor those in as turnovers, Bean is still turning it over at a higher rate. It’s close, but Bean has a higher turnover rate and combined fumbles plus picks rate.

Sums it up. Instead of arguing completions and yards we are arguing most turnovers!  Get a stud transfer or JC. NOW!

Couldn’t agree more.  The “answer” is not on this roster, but bringing the pitch forks out for only one QB is asinine.

I agree. Obviously the coaches would rather go with Aune right now. Coaches know more and if fans noticed him pouting then I promise the coaches are not happy with that behavior. Since they are both struggling a bad attitude will lose the job.

I hope Aune can do something Fine never did. Win a bowl game...

Kind of like Bean's fumble against UTEP?

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
