Malzahn’s halftime comments

[wmcovol]

“If we hadn’t turned it over twice, we’d be further ahead than we are”

What a loser comment. His QB turned it over cause he was pressured passing. That happens when teams get pressure on qb. If Tennessee hadn’t got outrun by their sprinter, he wouldn’t have been ahead at all, DUH!

Turnovers forced by pressure or hard hits are good defense. Turnovers received cause teams drop the snap or fumble a punt are good fortune. There’s a difference when evaluating play. Tenn D was forcing his QB to turn the ball over or take big sacks.

Arrogance......kind of obvious why his team imploded.

 

[zballvol]

Arrogant and ignorant comment. Get used to hearing him talk. He’ll soon have a seat beside Chizik on the failed coaches show.

 

[volfanhill]

It was normal coach speak

They aren’t paying his buyout this year

This. What did you expect him to say?

 

[dduncan4163]

Yeah he was all smug till we wiped s**t eating grin off his face in the second half

It was more of how he said it. He was all smug looking and dismissive

He’s a douche, always has been

 

[VFL1953]

Might be because he knows he's in trouble. The natives are getting restless in The Barn, he's feeling the pressure and may be compensating with confidence he doesn't really feel.

I can see that.

Ive never heard a coach say something like that. They usually sandbag. Irregular.

 

[zballvol]

I said “soon”. He’ll be bought out sooner than later. Auburn can fire coaches with the best of them.

His confidence is that $35M that is keeping him at Auburn for at least another year

I hope he stays for another year or 2 with that buyout and the barn continues to burn so we can win some recruiting battles with them. It seems like we are always going against them for multiple recruits, esp on defense.

Probably. But it's still gonna be pretty damn uncomfortable for the rest of this year.

Thought exactly the same thing. Not a homer comment by me...thought he was smug and cocky like he’s explaining away why it’s close and it came back to bite him. Auburn is flaming now and it’s great not to be the one with mattresses sold out all over the state! Sweet thing about noon game is enjoying the rest of the day and positive press...for once in a long time. Go Vols!!!

 

[VolInNW]

It$ hard to under$tand how we alway$ lo$e recruiting $tandoff$ with the Auburn Tiger$. It mu$t be $ome $mall $omething they offer these recruit$ that we don’t. Can $omeone help me make thi$ make $en$e?

Not saying he's a top class coach but he's no failure either. He won an SEC title, almost won a national title and has beat Saban twice. We beat a good team today, we should be damn proud

He has to stay unless they settle, not only is the buyout big but it has to be paid within 90 days of termination! Sexton took advantage of their new president in that contract! Auburn may be in trouble for a while.

Normal coach speak would have been, we can’t turn the ball over like that. We have to limit the turnovers. Not, we would be up by more if we hadn’t turned the ball over.

First time I've watched the highlight shows in a season and a half

You missed one. Lol

 

[MaTaLa]

Talking point if you want it to be but I have never heard one of those halftime interviews worth the time it takes to listen

Yeah, when you put it that way it sure does sound arrogant.

I did not see that part but it sounds like he was being a condescending azz.
