Report: Gus Malzahn Close To Accepting Contract Changes To Remain At Auburn

by TD Staff Reporter

November 27, 201814 Comments

Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sport

Brandon Marcello with 247 Sports is reporting that Gus Malzahn is close to accepting changes to his contract that include a reduced buyout and "other limitations" to remain the head coach at Auburn.

Auburn and Malzahn agreed on a seven-year contract last November worth $49 million with 75 percent guaranteed. Since then Auburn has struggled, going 7-7 overall. His current buyout is $32 million.

Good luck fining a coach who wants to be treated like this in the future.

So let me get this straight. AU is apparently satisfied with his production (??) but re-negotiating his contract to make GM a better value proposition?

Why would he do that when he has them by the short hairs? Make them pay up and get the hell out of a shithole like Auburn.

why would anyone do that ??? ego is not worth that ! only reason to lower the buy out would be if there was another contract in the waiting (somewhere else) and it does not seem such.

There will be many recruits that Georgia, Bama, UF, LSU, and Auburn will all be going head to head for and this entire scenario will not help Auburn at all on the recruitment front.

WTF, Don't do it Gus. Jimmy Sexton you need to jump in and stop this. You just got the deal for Gus for winning the West last year, the SEC in 13 and being the NC runner-up. There is plenty of time to address this in a couple of years, if need be. Bad look for AUB admin.

I'm sure that every recruit is so stupid that it won't occur to them that a coach whose buyout is reduced might not be around for long. Yeah. That's a great way to recruit the kids needed for that national championship. Absolutely.

Some people still have an ounce of integrity and are looking out for the school as well.

The school is only looking out for itself which is why they want to restructure his contract. Frick that.
