I see Malzahn as being very patient. I'm guessing, but I see him as one who would prefer to coach in the SEC. I think timing has a lot to do with it and this wasn't the right time to make that move.

Hopefully outside the SEC.

Really? Wow... Wonder why they just decided to not even have a A.D. then?
No A.D. or Ath Dept... doesnt sound like the university is out to have a winning program at any cost. Seems the normal cost of just having a A.D. wouldnt be a big deal then...
The no AD thing was actually one of the biggest lures for Gus at Vandy. He's spent time at Arky and Auburn, two programs notorious for coaches having to deal with meddlesome boosters and oversseers. He knows that at other programs, in between recruiting, coaching and gameplanning, he would have to be doing a lot of tapdancing for administators, boosters, etc. To say nothing of unrealistic fans.
There's a reason coaches bounce around so much and demand these ridiculous contracts. There's a reason Jimmy Sexton spins his webs this time every year.
I'm not saying Vandy abolished the athletic department for this reason, but they can honestly go to candidates and say, we will give you total control of football operations, with no interference and at least a five year grace period to prove that you can win here. It's your show...completely.
Very few BCS programs can offer that. It's an attractive lure to these Type A personality coaches who think they can always win "as long as..."

I am thinking he has been told to wait for the Auburn HC job to come open in a couple of years...works for all. He does not have to move and nobody gets to track a flight # during the middle of the season. Everybody wins.
Just kidding

Of course he wants to stay in SEC, he won't be able to do shite without SEC caliber players. He better leave after this season though, bc his stock goes down dramatically if he sticks around AU when Cam leaves.

Malzahn will make the best of what he has, wherever he ends up.

Way too much is made about money for head coaches. Coaches want to win alot more than they want another 800K a year...and if they win, the money will take care of itself
Dumbest comment ever. If money didn't matter Terrell Owens would still be in Philadelphia.

Coaches and players are two different animals
Let a big booster from Iowa State or Indiana contribute a bunch of money for their programs to offer 7 million a year to a top coach.
You thinks Stoops, Saban, Petrino, Miles, Harbaugh, Tressel, Fisher, or any of those guys would leave their current jobs for a little more money at those 2 schools?

If he stays at AU two years, he will be the oc of a club team.

The real salary offered was in the 1.6 mil with incentives to jump it up to the 3 mil range. Vandy is pretty much known as a HC grave yard. Auburn has upped his salary to 1.3mil and other opportunities will come. I am sure Mullen has another good year in 2011 he will be gone. Here is a thought for you what if Mack brown retires next year and they come get Chizik as he is well liked there than Malzahn jumps to HC...lol...I know highly unlikely just throwin it out there for fun.

No way Chiz will be HC at Texas.

Actually someone could land a great job from Vandy if you are lucky and the timing is right. Look at Mack Brown and Tommy Bowden. Mack Brown rode the Green Wave at Tulane on the arm and scrambling ability of Terrance Jones. After good results culiminating in a great year by Jones, Mack went on to bigger things at UNC. Bowden did the same thing at Tulane with Sean King including an undefeated year. Bowden went on to Clemson. All these guys had to do was make a good showing at a non-football school which they did. Vandy being in the SEC makes it a little tougher though.

I watched the Vandy - Wake Forest game. Wake kicked their butt. Vandy probally the worst team that I saw all season. Vandy should hire the Pirate, if he would come.

Not true. Vandy offered $3 M base.

Chizik has alot to prove before he gets considered at Texas. For one, winning without Malzahn and Newton.Posted on 12/15/10 at 9:38 am to Bronwyn

If he is willing to pass up an exorbitant amount of money at Vanderbilt to remain an OC at Auburn, he must have a certain job in mind. Which job is it?
I'm going with UGA
Or South Carolina.

I know for a fact that the offer was base and not loaded with incentives. Believe what you wish.
Money was not the reason he turned down the offer. There were other issues involved regarding facilities and assistant salaries.
