Just wanted to pop in and say wow, I thought we were the only school that was terrible at contract negotiations.

So Auburn writes Gus a big contract last year because they fear Arky is gonna steal him. Now they already want to fire him after a mediocre season this year, but don’t want to pay the 32 million, so they’re talking with him to reduce the buyout and other aspects of the contract in exchange for letting him coach another year?

He’s a damn fool, I’d make auburn pay the whole buyout right now and walk with my money. You know they’ll pull an LSU like with Les Miles and look for the first opportunity to fire him the minute they lose a couple games mid season. And they’ll get negatively recruited by every other school out there talking about how uncertain Malzahn’s future is, so he probably won’t be able to sign a great recruiting class.

What a clusterfu**

I think the most likely reason he is willing to negotiate is Auburn wants him to fire some assistants and he doesn't want a bunch of board members forcing people on him that he doesn't want to work with.

So yeah, he could say frick you pay me and get fired but then that would just get his entire staff fired too. I doubt he wants to frick over everyone he has hired like that.
