Former NFL GM Michael Lombardi Rips Into Auburn Head Coach Gus Malzahn
Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sport
Former NFL GM Michael Lombardi wasn't afraid to let it rip when criticizing Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn after this week's loss to LSU...
quote:

“My man Gus Bus, that’s the worst offense I’ve ever seen,” Michael Lombardi said on his podcast, via Saturday Down South. “He had no idea how to throw a football. Zero. Zero. All he does is scream at the players, he has no idea how to throw the football. He has no passing game … He’ll blame it on a rookie quarterback – no, he’s got a bad, bad offensive scheme. It’s horrible.”

I'm all for Auburn keeping Gus, so I think this Lombardi guy should chill the hell out.

Same reason why Alabama fans wanted LSU to keep Miles?

I totally agree. I was at the game this past Saturday (endzone seats) and I could pick up a great amount of their plays. What is puzzling me is why did the LSU defenders not recognize this?

He’s right, plus Gus is an arse hat.

Actually, Gus isn't an arse hat. This guy couldn't coach a college team and have half the success that Gus has had. Hell, Gus makes more money in a year that that guy made the last 10.

He is really good friends with your coach. Gus is a good guy. Im not sure where you get your fairy tale narrative from.

He may be an asshat. He may not be a GM anymore because he sucks. But he isnt wrong about Gus. Not in the slightest

Bo Nix vs LSU = 15 / 35 - 157 yards - 1 TD / 1 INT vs Florida = 11 / 27 - 145 yards - 1 TD / 3 INT

Gus Malware had NOTHING to do with Cam Newton's Natty (except when Gus threw his hands up and let Cam run shite his own way). But Gus has been riding those coat tails for years!

If your offense sucks, And it don't look good, Who's the one at fault? Gus-Bussers!

You think he was riding those coat tails when he took a DB in Nick Marshall and played for the National Title in 2013? Yeah, that is an inconvenient fact.

I'm not a fan, but with a good QB Gus offense is dangerous as hell.

Meh, most offenses look pretty good if there's a good QB. Hell, Mack Brown's shitty offense looked brilliant with Vince Young at the helm.

It's a perfectly fine college offense but it's terrible for NFL development, which is probably why a former NFL GM hates it.
