There is: just look at Auburn's current recruiting class. But objectively, I'm not sure Auburn will be able to do better than Gus who had the team playing well vs Bama overall.

Its like auburn to fire a coach who manages to beat bama every so often, hire someone worse, be out almost 30 million dollars, and meanwhile not have a single recruit that's worth poaching. The literal worst

Fletcher: There's another old saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

I still am shocked. During a covid season where you don't get regular spring and summer practice, recruiting is all screwy with no visits, kids opting out, teams opting out, having a damn 10 game SEC schedule, along with the financial part of it already mentioned. The guy had a horseshoe up his arse and pulled out miracle after miracle for Auburn. He was good enough to keep until a unicorn presents itself, but what unicorn has presented itself as a better option than Malzahn?

It's weird timing because he should have been fired 2 years ago. But they had just extended him the year prior after he upset UGA and Bama to close the season, so they backed themselves into that corner. It's quintessential Auburn stuff.


But I refuse to believe they're seriously considering Kevin Steele. I think that's just a smokescreen while they iron out an agreement with their real target, whoever that may be.
