I dont either, but Tate makes sense. I wouldn't be glad or sad with either choice...

Looks like I'm in the minority but I would much rather have Gus than Smart. Gus has proven at 4 diffent locations that he is one of the top 5 offensive minds in college football.
I know that the mindset that Gus can only be succesful with a great qb is pretty common but I simply disagree with that opinion. If all it takes to win a NC is a superstar at qb then where is Stanford's NC since they had a superstar qb in Luck, a great HC in Harbough and a much easier path playing in the PAC-12. Art Briles is considered an offensive genius but he couldn't win one with RG3. Gus did have a great qb in 2010 but unlike those 2 other coaches that most of you would nut over if they came to Auburn he actually did something with his.

Definitely in the minority. Kirby would bring great scouting ability and a great defensive hard nosed scheme.
Kirby all day.
Kirby all day.

Honestly I feel we can't go wrong with Gus or Kirby. Either would be a good hire, great recruiters, and have definite pro's and con's to either. I'd rather have had Petrino even though some of the Creeders (I being a reformed Creeder) would have shouted to the high heavens until we went 8-0 in 2013.

He scores points and he has won a NC unless you think that was Chizik's doing.

Harbough/Harbaugh who gives a frick. The Stanford next to his name should have given you a clue in the remote chance you weren't just trying to be arguementative.

The HUNH spread is being slowed down by elite defenses.. you're starting to see it more and more all over college football. Oregon this year is a prime example. They run into a solid Stanford D and they lose. There is a reason that the likes of Saban, Miles, Richt, etc. don't dabble in that type of offense. They stick to their guns because that is what is successful in this league. Florida and Muschamp have taken note.
Malzahn also has questions about disciplinary methods. The stats his offenses put up are incredible and sometimes mind-boggling. But when it comes down to it, I don't trust his offensive prowess against the likes of an LSU, Bama, UF, UGA defense. Not a single bit.

What if Gus is hired and he brings back Roof?
Relax I'm just kidding.

Other than getting their doors blown off to start the game (unprepared?) they kind of did. At least compared to the expectations fo that kind of offense.
