re: Why did fans want Malzhan gone?

Because he could have been the coach who for the first time ever let Auburn go 0-8 in 4 years against Bama and UGA.

THIS. Plus just generally not getting over the hump, not developing talent, and making 2013 seem more and more like a giant fluke the further we got away from it. I think most Auburn fans accept that they're not going to be a Nick Saban Alabama because NO ONE will have that level of success for decades. But he had to prove that he could compete with top 10ish level teams.
