Haven't read anything else past this, but this isn't true. He doesn't care about Auburn. He cares about clicks and revenue. Right now, nothing in this state is more hot than bashing Malzhan. Alabama fans want to read about his woes and Auburn fans want to read about how shitty a coach he is. It's a win win for Scab. Don't give him more credit than he deserves.
I'll have to disagree here. I've long since thought Scarb played it right down the middle. Granted, he tends to over-dramatize trivial issues when there's not much to write about. Case in point for AU fans, his diatribe on Chizik's War DAMN Eagle being classless after the MNC. However, I think he's been pretty even keeled on AU/Bama topics.
The problem, if that's what you want to call it, is that there really hasn't been much to harp on where Bama has been concerned. Hard to find something sensational to print when the biggest negative has been an 8 point win vs. Texas A&M. What are you going to write about? This piece is spot on in my opinion. Knowledgeable AU fans know this team is loaded with talent. They've also seen enough to know when Malzahn's footprint is all over an inexplicable loss that never should have happened. We've gone from what should be a 7-0, top 5 team to, "Thanks for playing." All because of Gus Malzahn.
