We NEVER make a splash hire.  Ever.  In any sport.

We don't know. 

It'll be some middle-ass hire like Dan Mullen to Miss State or Hugh Freeze to Ole Miss. 

We are the new 4th place team in the SEC West.

Hang on a second.  You're being a bit disingenuous. 

You're correct that we don't make a splash hire, however, we have usually made solid hires.  Pat Dye.  Terry Bowden (until 97).  Tommy Tuberville.  Nothing sexy about any of them, but they're good enough to get behind, support, and have faith in the future.

Gene Chizik was 5-19.  Five and fucking nineteen.  That's not just a failure on making a splash.  That's a facepalm hire to the nth degree. 

Gus Malzahn, who I do think is a good coach, is also a fail.  A big fat fail only because he's too connected to what happened under Chizik.  It's not that it's not a splash hire.  It's that it's really easy to see why this is going to fucking suck.

What's the common denominator here? 

Jay Jacobs. 

Fuck him.

A "Splash" hire is someone you know without a doubt has made a name for himself and proven he can do it at the highest level. That was Bobby Petrino.  Everyone in the country knew him, his reputation and what he would most likely do at Auburn.  Granted, Dye and Bowden and CTT turned out to be great in spots in their own right.  But the fact is, we stole Wyoming's, Samford's and Ole Miss' coach.  Then we got Iowa State's coach.  I say again...we never go after the big fish.

Or a splatter. Depending on how sick you are!


This hire is blah! I will get behind him and hope for the best. At least the offense should be exciting.

And it keeps you interested by never showing more than 3 plays in a row!

I think Gus will do better in his first year than Chizik did in his fourth year.

It's nearly impossible to do worse.  Literally.
