Auburn has fired arguably their GOAT coach and the third best coach in their storied history. I am not familiar with the Patrick Fain Dye story, since I was but a lad when he was dismissed, so let's examine what happened to the third best coach in Auburn history.

Thomas Hawley Tuberville
Tubb's demise can be attributed to the meteoric rebirth of Alabama football under Nick Saban.

Tubb's success can be wholly contributed to Alabama's mediocre 2000s.

Auburn, as a program, solely bases their success on Alabama's program.

Tubbs led the Plainsmen to six consecutive seasons of nine-plus wins from 2002 to 2007. However, those past successes, including being crowned the People's Champ in 2004, had no merit whatsoever when Alabama was resurrected from the dead and order within the state of Alabama was restored.

Auburn started the 2008 season ranked #11 in the AP poll but limped to a 5-7 finish. The Tigers won only two games in SEC play but the real nail in the coffin was Alabama opening up a can of whoop arse in the Iron Bowl and whipping Auburn 36-0.

Gus' shelf life is somewhere between Tubberville and Bowden

Same time anybody fires their coach -- when it looks like ticket sales might go down.

On the flip side, if he wins the SEC again this year they could catch him doing blow on top of the water boys and they'd go, "Oh that Malzahn!"

Well since this is Arky fans dream and not reality, I guess it would be after Bert.

Now back to reality, after which of Arky's 8+ losses is Arky fans going to admit they suck and quit starting these lame threads pretending they are relevant?

I don't see someone taking a chance on him in the NFL without a few more years at least

Your probably right. If he has a really good year this year I think some shitshow of a team would take a chance on him though. A decent coach doesn't usually do what he did with auburn last year. He good.
