Malzahn fired.

[Swayin]

The carousel just heated up in earnest!

 

[Swayin]

Is there anybody we can/would want to poach from that staff or that recruiting class?

I'm down with Gus being our OC.

No doubt ... I wonder if he would prefer to be a HC at someplace like Louisiana or Coastal (if both those coaches moved up), or an OC in the SEC or maybe even the NFL?

I don’t know. The last group of coaches we got from Auburn didn’t work out very well.

Man, it sure pays to be a P5 head coach:  

75 percent is fully guaranteed in the event Auburn were to terminate its head football coach before the end of the contract, which runs through Dec. 31, 2024, or the day after Auburn's last football game of that season. Should Auburn terminate Malzahn under the terms of the new contract, it would owe him 50 percent of his buyout within 30 days and the remaining 50 percent in four equal annual installments.  Year: Base salary + personal endorsement rights + radio, internet & TV rights2018: $500,000 + $3,100,000 + $3,100,000 = $6,700,0002019: $500,000 + $3,150,000 + $3,150,000 = $6,800,0002020: $500,000 + $3,200,000 + $3,200,000 = $6,900,0002021: $500,000 + $3,250,000 + $3,250,000 = $7,000,0002022: $500,000 + $3,300,000 + $3,300,000 = $7,100,0002023: $500,000 + $3,350,000 + $3,350,000 = $7,200,0002024: $500,000 + $3,400,000 + $3,400,000 = $7,300,000

He would probably make more money as a OC here than as a HC at Ulala or Coastal.  I think it depends on where he believes he'll have the most success in the shortest time frame, because I'm sure he'll want to be a P5 coach again.  Of course all of this is assuming he doesn't get a P5 HC offer right away.

I am rather enjoying the Auburn saga as it is playing out.  Kevin Steele?   Sounds like one big happy dysfunctional family there.

It sounds like the Auburn atmosphere is like the Taters with ultra-powerful boosters thrown in for added drama.

Like a redneck version of the old TV show Dallas.

Instead of "Who shot JR", it's "Who fired Gus?"  LOL
