This is the situation at Auburn now: top donors and university officials are so unhappy with the head football coach that they are seeking to undercut him by limiting assistants' contracts to single year deals. This is currently preventing AU from hiring Hugh Freeze as OC. Freeze is reportedly seeking a multi-year deal from future employers. Sources said Malzahn has asked AU to wave the recent restriction on multi-year contracts in order to hire Freeze. AU response: Nah.

this is the most Auburn thing ever. If you don't want Gus around any more, fire him.

we have the dumbest people in power. "Hey lets keep him and make sure he is terrible instead of firing him."

Sankey has not given approval. Gus can give multi-year deals, but must also lower his buyout at the same time.

I believe nothing but if true it's just admitting the buyout is preventing the inevitable and Auburn 2019 will be a dumpster fire.

they should say his assistants buyouts, if they are needed, come out of either Gus's salary or his buyout(if he is fired) then he can have all the multi year deals he wants

WTF?

Yeah I'm not sure I believe that either. But if true, why not just fire him, pay his buyout, fire anyone who had anything to do with his extension, and just start over for frick sake.

FWIW it's being reported by almost every Auburn beat guy, AU loyalists and mercenaries alike

As for why we don't just fire him, I mean, that'd be ideal. Obviously they're trying to thread some needle whereby we (AU and Leath) save face, Gus gets to coach out the bargain he made but we don't do anything to add to the burden of firing him next season. I think at this point it becomes questionable as to whether the PR hit from just firing him and paying the buyout would be better in the longterm.

This isn't just josh moon. From day 1 247 was reporting that the BOT wants malzahn to sleep in the bed he made. Those were the exact words

And this is on AG at this point. I think it's a combination of him trying to reign in the spending of the AD and guidance from BOT.

But people are going to email BOT anyway like they've personally got their hands on the scale.

These nutless SOBs just need to sack up an fire Gus. Frick all this shite. Doing this type of thing basically hamstringing Gus, in order to wait to fire him next season for less money will not help attract quality candidates when we do fire Gus. We would be better to fire Gus and just move on rather than have a pissing contest over assistant hires. You cant do both.
