Auburn fans-should Malzahn coach NC game if he leaves
If Malzahn gets another gig do you want him to stay on for the NC game or do you think it would be too many distractions for him?

I think that would be determined by his new employer. If I was an AD and had just hired a coach to run our program I would expect that coach to immediately start earning his pay and getting things in order, like assembling a staff, recruiting, etc.

Think about it for a moment. Regardless where Malzahn ends up he will be competing against Auburn for recruits immediately and in the future. Why would a school sign a coach only to have that coach continue to work for a competitor?

College football is a business. Do you think K-Mart would continue to pay an executive and let him/her work for them for several more weeks if that executive was going to work for Wal-Mart?
