Discussions to fire Malzahn?

[Freak]

It's such an insane amount of money that's required to fire him. They won't have any trouble finding a replacement, though. Who wouldn't want that kind of golden parachute?

Tis is the season......

Why isn’t Barn more consistent? They should at least be LSU every year. Don’t think 9 wins a year is too much to ask

Sounds like some Gruden thread material.

Just stupid

 

[I Love Lamp]

James Franklin coming back to the SEC haha

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

If they were going to throw a "Jimbo Fisher" sized offer at someone currently coaching, I'd think the list of guys realistically interested would look something like James Franklin, Gary Patterson, Chris Peterson, Jeff Brohm, and Mike Gundy.

At a macro level, they've never, in their entire history, had back-to-back 10-win regular seasons. Only once have they had a back-to-back 10-win finish with a bowl game included. This is simply how Auburn has always been.

At a micro level, they aren't consistent under Gus because he can't develop a QB. They tend to do well the first year after bringing in a transfer (see Newton, Marshall, Stidham), but then slide because the transfer either leaves after one year (Newton) or gets figured out by the league (Marshall, Stidham). When Gus has to operate with a QB he actually recruited and worked with from Day 1, he gets a Jeremy Johnson or Sean White.

Similar to Tex A&M. Man's got to know his limitations.

Bob Stoops?

Bob Stoops?

I'd put money on Bob staying right where he's at.

I know we take the cake on botching coaching hires, but Auburn has a track record of messing it up as well. Remember "plane-gate" when they tried to hire Bobby Petrino while Tuberville was still the coach? They better have someone signed and sealed before letting Malzahn go.

Lol Mike Gundy

Is this their version of MIT? What a joke

Football Scoop said Auburn has talked to Stoops

Kinda like I just talked to this hot chick at work, but she's not going home with me

 

[DWright39]

I think they will hire a good one. Auburn is very serious about winning

Mark?

Bob. You fire Gus and pay his buyout you better have a big name lined up. Looks like Auburn might

 

[508mikey]

I wonder if Auburn boosters will give the new coach 'time'

 

[bamawriter]

I don't see how they're gonna pay Gus $32 million to go away, and then tack on $7.5 to $8 million a year to bring in Stoops. I guess nothing's impossible, but that would really surprise me.

Sarcasm...

Again, I don't see Bob leaving OK at the moment.
