Malzahn may very well end up being a good HC but he has no track record at this level yet to judge him by. Let the man string together a few seasons with continued success before anointing him the next big thing.

You've contracted the dumb.

Statistically, at this point in his career, Malzahn is nowhere as good as Terry Bowden. You can't base Malzahn's effectiveness on record alone.

If you base it on game action, he's had a superb year. Magical season. But Auburn has also won several games in the last few seconds. These things generally have a way of evening out over time.

Personally, I think he brings a lot to the table. I respect his ability and frankly hate that Auburn has him. But I think it is quite a fair point to believe that Malzahn needs to have a little deeper resume before anointing him as a great head coach.
