Why would Malzahn go to Texas?

Why would he trade the offensive coordinator position at Auburn for the same job at Texas? Prestige? Hell no. Gus Malzahn and the Auburn Tigers are just a month or so away from winning the national championship. He's proven that his style of offense can work in the toughest conference in all of college football. Why would he leave for Texas just to do the same thing in the same position? He doesn't need anymore prestige than he already has. He just won the Broyles Award. If Malzahn leaves Auburn it will be for a head coaching job.

Sometimes the money is too much.

Impending sanctions at Auburn.

If he doesnt take a head job this year, he should most def bolt for UT OC job.

a) Because he knows that the shite may the hit fan?
b) New QB lost senior OL?
c) Can't run a high school offense in the SEC without a $cam?
d) Offensive production drops off without $cam and his luster wears off thus get while the getting's good?

He wouldn't go to Texas. He will wait at Auburn until someone offers him a HC job he wants. He might no be relishing next year with no Newton and a new offensive line, but I don't see any way he leaves for another coordinator job.

Texas > Auburn. It's why Chiz left. Muschamp left and why Malzahn will if offered. People won't quit offering him, just because he went to a more prestigious school at the same position. Texas can offer more money and he'd be more likely to move on to a HC job from there, than from Au. Being at Texas has more advantages, especially immediate. They'll be loaded to the gill with talent next season, whereas Auburn won't be. He'll keep his stock status up being able to coach that talent vs rebuilding a new Oline and QB at Auburn.

Money
Prestige
Better talent
Better "launching pad" for his head coaching career

I think HC is his next stop, but he is not really getting any big offers at AU right now and AU's team is getting decimated with Tubby's last good class graduating. His stock will go down next year if he stays at AU.

This will be Auburns second trip to the BCS while Texas(even though not going this season) has already been there 4 times. Texas almost always seems to be at(or very near) the top of the Big12. Auburn's always tough, but they don't get near the national love that Texas does.
UT Offensive Coordinator > AU Offense Coordinator(especially if you want better recognition for a future HC job).
All IMHO, of course.

he wouldn't.. and he definitely shouldn't.

Unless he gets mucho dinaro or uses one year at Texas as a springboard to a bigger job, I can't see him taking another OC job.
Using the talent at Texas to have another amazing offense on your resume' couldn't hurt though. If it's fantastic at Auburn in the SEC, imagine UT's talent and playing in the Big12...

said this yesterday, got blasted about how Texas is so much more prestigous than Auburn
guy is already on the short list for most major programs looking for a HC, staying at Auburn isnt going to hurt him in the slightest.
$$$$ is the only reason he goes
