No!
It was a test and he failed.
By agreeing to lower buyout terms he would have done nothing but insure that he would not be able to be the coach for the 2020 season unless he wins 10+ games in 2019.
IOW he insured his firing in one year while at the same time losing 10+ million dollars.
edit: they were not going to fire him this year anyway because of his buyout. so he was going to get next year anyway.
He just made it easier to be fired after 2019.

to keep his job for a year and then receive less money after he's fired?

I mean maybe he thinks he can pull a great season together and keep it.
Idk, but it’s a weird arse situation for sure.

think boosters came together willing to pay it, but he doesn’t want to lose his job. He loves Auburn. He is basically cooperating and praying he lands that Clemson QB.
I don’t know about all of that. I do believe he knows this is the pinnacle for him. If he loses his job it’s back to the Arkansas States of the nation. When auburn has to they can get their shite together for one great year. That will make them a dangerous team next year unless they haven’t hit bottom yet. They just can’t sustain that success. Very BiPolar. It would drive me crazy as a fan. But I would imagine that boosters are the problem. Auburn has always been one of those teams that allows the big shots to mettle in the program.

"Because he believes he can win a national title at Auburn easier than anywhere else that might be available to him. Money matters, yes, but winning means more to him. He believes he can beat all odds against him at Auburn. Done it before." -Some guy on Twitter below the unlinked report on the Front Page

That’s what I’m thinking is that maybe he thought he could put together a good season and get hired somewhere decent. If he gets fired in the offseason it’s gonna be a shitty job.

You're fricking delusional. They've got something on him that's valuable to him. To accept a lesser buyout without something in exchange while having control taken away (asst coaching matters) is not believable....we may never know the truth.

so who I she hitching it with.. He has not got a QB in fold does he?
Bo Nix will be the starter next year. He enrolls next month and will be there for Bowl and Spring Practice. That is why they wanted Bryant , so they could bring Nix around slowly.

You don’t know Gus lol. The dude seems to have a huge ego about his ability and I 100 percent believe he would take less money for one last shot to avoid being fired.

Auburn is easily the most up and down, schizophrenic power five football program that there is

But that is my point.
They were not going to fire him because of his big buyout anyway, so if he thinks he can pull off a big season anyway then he would save his job just the same.
By agreeing to lower his buyout he decreased his leverage and just makes it easier for Auburn to dump him.
It is lose lose for Malzhan and Win Win for Auburn.
IOW a terrible mistake.

That is what I am thinking and hopeful for. It makes sense to me that he would maybe even take a year off and come back next year.

If I was a school I would give the coach a smaller amount with huge bonuses for different things the team or the coach achieves (including recruiting).

Your post is dumber than Malzhan agreeing to a lower buyout.
Auburn was not going to fire him before a shitty season next year regardless. Therefore he would get his next year to get his one last shot anyway.
He has 100% weakened his position.
Lets say he wins 9 regular season games next year and beats one of his 2 main rivals. With the big buyout he probably gets to stay as Auburns coach.
With the reduced buyout he is probably fired.
Now with his reduced buyout he will have to have a 10 win regular season to keep his job.
Bad decision for Gus.

I’m pretty sure the end game for gus is to leave Auburn. He could either refuse the buyout reduction ight now and be fired (and do I believe they would have fired him) or get a shot at a good season next year and leave to take a similar quality job. You’re failing to see the big picture here lol. It’s not always about money. The dude loves coaching and wants to coach at a high level. What he is doing is betting on himself. Is it a bad bet? Maybe. But you are missing the big picture

It doesn’t make sense for either side . He is crazy to take less money to keep his job when his contract is guarantee . If Auburn doesn’t think he is good enough then why offer to let him stay for less money ? If he gets Kelly from Clemson then next year will be a good year . He needs to get back to having a athletic QB and running the hurry up . That’s what he is good at .
