It's a foregone conclusion that he will eventually leave. Let's speculate (just for discussion sake)that if it's not this year then next year. Auburn will be in a serious rebuild mode next season and production wil drop off from this year anyway. Doesnt it make sense to start off a new QB with a new OC. Is it going to be a step back to put the new QB next year under Malzahn for 1 season then start him off with a new guy the next? With this in mind some may think it logical to rebuild once with a new OC. Any thoughts?

Frazier won't be starting under center until 2012 most likely. Trotter isn't exactly gonna be playing on Sundays.

His scheme will help us win games next year when we have some inexperienced and young talent playing a tougher schedule. It definitely helps keep some momentum going through the rebuilding year. With Malzahn, AU has the potential to win 8 or even 9 next year. Without him, we might lose 2-3 more games.

AU should be in good shape going into 2012, if by the grace of God, we can keep him for 2012, AU will be dangerous. If he leaves after that, I think the talent and depth will be built back up to a level where his departure will not be as big of a hit.

Malzahn is the double secret Coach-in-waiting for Auburn. When all this crap comes down, Chizik will be thrown under the bus ( ), and Gus will claim he knew nothing about this. The Aubs will live happily ever after.

I'd like to believe Gus has a little higher level of integrity than Petrino.

So how many losses would you give to starting over with a new/similiar system under a new OC in 2012? Is back to back 8/9 win seasons okay or could you see a 6 win 2011 and a 10/11 win 2012 if AU gets a new OC next year? I know alot would depend on who is hired but just for discussion sake.

He should have left now. They lose 24 seniors, and possibly their two best players, more like probably. His name may be mud this time next year.

Once again. I'm not asking when the best time for MALZAHN is. I'm asking what year will be best for the Auburn program to start with a new OC.

didn't the defensive coordinator from the University of Texas just get the head coaching gig at one of the top programs in the country, after a 5-7 season??

Didn't Al Borges come in right before Campbell, Ronnie and Caddy's senior year?

I think the talent (and more favorable schedule) will be there to win 10/11 in 2012 even with a different coordinator. Obviously I would prefer the continuity of Malzahn staying, but there are other good offensive minds out there that could keep the train moving in the right direction.

I think having Gus for one more year will help Auburn out in the long run. A win against Oregon and a coaching staff returning intact for the 2011 season will be big selling points going in to NSD. If keeping Gus helps AU land Frazier and a few other top notch offensive skill payers the future should look bright.

Frazier can redshit in 2011 and Trotter will be serviceable to get an 8 or 9 win season (we can hope). Bring in a new OC after the 2011 season to start working with Frazier either in bowl practice or spring ball, the o line should have some experience by then. 2012 schedule should be favorable (LSU, UGA and Arky will be at JHS). We will start in Atl against Clemson and go to UF and close @ Bama. We won't be world beaters, but that should be another 8 or 9 win season could set AU up for another special season in 2014 with Frazier a 4th year Jr.
