Buh bye

I think Gus will be the head coach when we kick off vs Oregon. 

I do not think he will be head coach by the time we play LSU.

That should make for a good ol interim
shitfest.

There is a coach who has a team in a bowl.  Going to finish that out and then...

That's a long wait for a train that don't come.

[jmar]

The logic of this scenario makes no sense.  Think about it.  What good does it do to not make the move...both for us and the teams they're coaching?  If you're not going to the playoffs, it's now about one thing,...recruiting.  why wait?  Fact is. Malzahn is our guy.

Makes perfect sense to me. 

The following is an exerpt from an article by the Ames Register concerning the hiring of Matt Campbell.

"Doctor Leath flew over Saturday night so Matt could sign the offer officially with Dr. Leath there," Pollard said. "I think that's very important for both Matt and our president and for me that the highest paid employee at Iowa State University, that the president was in the room for the actual, official signing of the deal. But we're not bringing the president all the way over there if it was going to be a dog and pony show. Saturday night was a very exciting night for all of us."

And thus the coaching search was complete.

Some here might know Campbell as the hottest young coach in the business. He now has a 20M buyout at ISU.

Yes, the same ISU that brought us Chizik and that wheeling-dealing/zany pilot of a President Steven Leath.

Not sure Mason is ready for a big program, although I do like his coaching style.
Franklin might not be a home run hire, but he'd at least be a stand up triple.

Mediocrity is here for the long haul.

Not after Florida kicks our teeth in, to drop our record to 3-3 (losses to Oregon, aTm, and UF).

Going into a bye week, we cut our losses with Gustavo.

Can't see proceeding with the stench of failure lingering into another season. It's just prolonging the pain and the wrong way to handle this.

100% agree.  The minute Gus and Auburn entered into negotiations after the Iron Bowl, every swinging dick on this board knew exactly what it meant.  The relationship between Gus and Auburn is fractured beyond repair.

Auburn is making it harder to have a coach want to come here with this garbage!! Everything that has happened this year will happen again next season.  This does make me think that Clemson trans QB is coming to AU and that's what Gus used to keep his job.  Leath is a big enough idiot to buy Gus's lie

Last I saw Mizzou was in the lead for Bryant. He has a few days left to name his school. So much for a bird in the hand. Let's just poison the whole flock.

As a couple of the writers put it - was the start of a long exit.

I am biased. But why would he not choose AU over a new HBCU?

[The Six]

We can't even fire a coach right.

Article in al.com

Gus Malzahn only has one option left

--Auburn couldn’t put LSU away despite leading 21-10 in the third quarter.

--Running back Boobee Whitlow’s fumble at the goal line against Mississippi State changed the season.

--Quarterback Jarrett Stidham threw two of the worst interceptions you’ll ever see against Tennessee, but the Tigers were still in position to win … before Stidham fumbled the game away.

Bottom line: Auburn couldn’t run the ball this season, and Malzahn didn’t trust his offensive coordinator and quarterback enough to make the necessary adjustments. Now, make no mistake, Malzahn is staring into the void of his own Little Bighorn as he enters into the final weeks before the early signing period.

Lindsey is off with Toto.


OC at Kansas!

That's well known at this point.  I was pointing out the fact that the article claims he didn't trust his OC or QB enough to make adjustments, which is laughable.

[Snaggletiger]

Last night, Snagette comes in and asks me, "Do you know what happened at Auburn today?"

Me:  Chip Lindsey resigned.

Do you know where he's going?

To Kansas with Les Miles.  Everybody knows that.

She hangs her head and starts to walk out. Then stops and says, "Well, did you know there really is an oldest trick in the book?"

[MrAZiffell]

& you guys just kept asking me why I didn't want Gus...

(But, we did get another high school kinda guy.)
