Appreciate what he has done because after when he finally retires, we may not see anything or anyone like him for a ling time..


Auburn fans believe Malzahn will surpass Saban's success before he is done. Who knows they may be right.

I don't. I think he'll be successful, and is arguably better than Saban at elements of the game, but Auburn has a lot more obstacles to overcome than Alabama to replicate that success.

Gus, while liked and respected, wasn't ushered into Auburn with great fanfare and huge national attention. He still doesn't get that treatment. He'll have to work harder and do a little more with a little less if he wants to come close to what Saban has accomplished, and I just doubt that happens (at least all the way).

I think there is potential that he ends up being good enough to argue about who was the better football mind, but I don't think he will be able to replicate the hardware Saban has won. In the end, that will probably trump any debate. Hell, Malzahn still has to prove himself worthy over time before we even start this discussion.

Did #2 Malzahn not Lose to #14 (3 loss) LSU. AU is obviously better than LSU, so it must be Malzahn is a bad game day coach !!

Did Spurrier lose to 5-7 Tennessee?
Did Stanford lose to 5-7 Utah ?

Some times you miss a field goal or turnover or play a team with a Bye week.
