Can Auburn Afford to Fire Gus?

Most predictions I’ve seen show Auburn battling for 4th/5th with Ms St in the west. This is would make 7 years in a row where Auburn lost at least 4 games with the BCS title game loss to Jimbo 8 years ago. It is my understanding that Auburn would not be satisfied with this position, but does the school have the donors to buy out Gus’s contract. I believe the buyout would be 26.6 M with 13.3 M due immediately. Add that into the cost of hiring a new big time coach. Is it feasible to let Gus this year regardless of record?

Gus is undefeated in College Station since TAMU joined the SEC.

Robert Lowder and Yella Fella won’t bat an eye at that buyout if Malzahn doesn’t produce up to their standards. People in that state kinda take their ncaa football seriously.

How's ticket sales and overall revenue for the Football department? If it's up or the same, then no. If it's down, then yes, they need to fire him to change that trajectory.

Yes, of course.
Do we really want to have to spend that kind of money to get rid of him? absolutely not.

Auburn and A&M will both be battling behind Mississippi State as usual
Did you know that Joe Moorhead is undefeated vs Texas A&M and Auburn.
Astounding

If Auburn has a disaster season and they feel like they need to pull the trigger to save the program, then they'll find the money, I am sure.

I don’t know if we can. Word is our athletic department is trying to cut costs already

Gus will beat UGA and Bama this year and land himself another extension

Who would fire a coach during his championship season?

Gus is a great coach, he'll be fine.

Without question. Will they? Who knows. It seems the people we have running the university are...well...not the brightest to say the least.

Auburn and UT spend money like drunken sailors.I honestly don't see how they keep doing it compared to our cheapskate AD who's ALWAYS whining about money.

Sure. There is no end to what boosters will do in such cases. Auburn has plenty of wealthy donors.
As much as I dislike Auburn I always felt AU gave that game to FSU. With Jimbo, "past success does not predict future results".
Auburn was stupid to give him a contract with so much of the payout front loaded.
