What a joke Malzahn is. What a bigger joke our administration is. Can't blame Jay for this one, can we? In typical fashion that goes back a couple of decades, a little success causes the powers that be to splooge all over their collective fat asses and come crawling to the current flavor of the day with the keys to the city....and the BMW.
Think about it. A FOUR LOSS season is now a success story for Gus Malzahn. We now have a HC who has guided us to seasons with 5-6-5 and 4 losses respectively and he's rewarded with a 7 year extension and $50 million. Instead of writing the man a fat check and saying "Well done" for beating two # 1's, we mortgage our future on a guy with ZERO track record. Oh wait, other than a track record of being the most schizophrenic coach in America.
Oh wait again, but let's not be too hasty. Who could we get that's better? Are you fucking kidding me? You'd be harder pressed to find guys that could fuck this up worse. This was another team LOADED with talent at every position. Let's skip over almost losing to Mercer.
Clemson: We score 6 whole points because his entire game plan was run an injured Kam Pettway into the middle of the line 40 times and have 90% of your pass plays be slow developing plays designed to throw it 30 yards downfield...against arguably the best D in the nation. LOSS!
LSU: Start out like a house on fire and instead of driving the dagger in their heart, Gus takes over and calls 16 straight running plays up the middle on 1st down. Even the commentators were making fun of him. LOSS!
Georgia X2: Stubbornly run an injured RB, who shouldn't have been in the game, over and over. More importantly, face a team that you ROYALLY pissed off a couple of weeks earlier by acting like an 8th grader and proclaiming for all to hear that you just beat the crap out of them. BTW Gus, those same scumbag Dawgs will now be playing for the MNC. LOSS!
UCF: Oh who cares? Clearly brought another team into Atlanta that was not only grossly unprepared, but had no fire or motivation to play a mid-major foe. One that beat your ass with a 190 pound LB whose favorite band is Def Leppard. Embarrassing LOSS!
But...it's too late now. Another under-achieving coach has Auburn by the balls. A concept I know all to well.
