Anyone think Malzahn would be this good this fast?

Yes I think we all predicted it

I don't think anyone thought he'd have Auburn back so quickly. The way this team looked pretty mediocre at the start of the year and just improved their level of play week after week was amazing.

He'll have us in the thick of the playoff picture for as long as he stays imo.

Auburn was very lucky this year - they easily could have lost two more SEC games, and an average LSU team destroyed them. Let's wait a see if they have any staying power before we crown Gus as King. I predict they fall back to the middle of the pack next year.

He's a dickhead no?

why the frick are there so many Ohio State posters posting here. gtfo

I did not. I will say this. I like Gus. Auburn was easy to hate w/tubs there. Gus not so much.

I think he's a really good coach, but I also think auburn was the beneficiary of fortuitous bounces this year. Which isn't a slight at all to them. It takes that to win an nc.

One mark I a great coach? Team got better week end/week out. They for sure did that.

If I'm an aubie guy, I'm damn proud of the state of my program, and the fact the a classy guy got me there.

Stop. 2 miracles don't make a good coach. He shay the bed in the Nash.

1 good year does not a career make, particularly not one filled with tons of lucky wins.

Let's see at least a 2nd year of success before crowning him the next hot potato.

Gus is an outstanding coach. There is no denying that. He has been nothing but successful in the college game. 2011 was tough, but he had no QB. I am ecstatic to have him as our coach.
