ou know, my gut right now thinks it will be just more of the same at AU with Malzahn at the helm. I just think they could of done better personally....but what the hell do I really know.


You think? I don't know anyone besides some Auburn fans that really believe Malzahn was the best choice. He might be a great coach before it is all said and done, but one great season as a coordinator and one season as a head coach at a lower tier school could not have been the experience AU was looking for when replacing a coach that won a title just two years ago. It was almost as if they had self imposed probation and went out and got their Mike Shula to guide them through it. Much like Shula, Malzahn will be gone after no more than 4 seasons. I just hope they don't land their Saban after Malzahn.

Auburn fans don't think Malzhan was the best choice. They know that he was the best Jay Jacobs could come up with at the time. There's nothing they can do about this hire anymore than they could about the 5-19 Chizik hire. But, now that he is in place, they will support him and the program just like any other fanbase would do.

However, he's been around AU and obviously can navigate within the culture to the satisfaction of the decision makers.
On predictions, AU pays Gus mega money while at and after leaving.
