Insider Notes From BM: It's Happening

Boosters know they made a mistake giving Malzahn guaranteed money, and they are willing to write another check to fix the mistake.

Malzhan unlike Tubberville does not have powerfull support in his corner from big time boosters.

He did have a few boosters in his corner but that pretty much ended last season when he used the Arkansas hype to get a bigger payday from Auburn. Boosters are also turned off by his coaching style


Malzahn can salavage a little bit with wins over Ole Miss and TAMU but boosters are tired of the inconsistent seasons, unexplained losses, predictable play calling etc. That's part of Malzahn and they believe it will continue to repeat


Many inside the inner circle believe the game has passed him by because of his refusal to change / adapt and unwillingness to allow another OC come in and install a new system. It's sad when several other teams run your offense and they all run it better than you do. Also 3 terrible years of planning and recruiting on the Oline is concering

People understand it will be difficult to part ways because of national perception and financial burden but many powerful people in the state are willing to do it for the sake of the program


Should Malzahn finish with a winning record he may not get fired this season but "the beginning of the end is already here"


Things are not better in the locker room. There is still division among players. Players held a meeting last week and there are several players wanting to transfer out.
