Ya know, he gets credit (rightfully) when his players play well. That’s kinda the point.Malzahn is a 8-4 coach who gets bailed out by unreal games against Bama by his QB’s. Marshall played great (+kick 6) and an unreal game by Stidham last year. No way in hell he is worth 7 mill a year imo. I woulda let him walk to Arkansas last year
They outbidded themselves with the extension. It wasn’t but a few weeks earlier in the season he was on the hot seat. Not saying he should be fired but he’s definitely not worth what he’s being paid and Auburn will end up regretting itMalzahn is a 8-4 coach who gets bailed out by unreal games against Bama by his QB’s.

Gonna be interesting to see the temperature on the plains if he goes 7-5 and #5 being a throttling at the hands of big brother.They outbidded themselves with the extension.

That’s what happens anytime you build a team around an up-tempo spread offense. It requires a dynamic dual threat quarterback and a good back to work well. As soon as one of those is gone it fails (see UT 2017, Auburn this season so far). And even with both it is very inconsistent because it relies so much on getting momentum on your drives and can leave your defense out to dry.But Gus' strength and weakness are the same. His unconventional tendencies will have him beat Bama one moment and lose to UCF the next. He's as likely to go 7-5 as 12-0. Folks love that when it's working, and when it's not the want him gone.
Until Cam Newtons grow on trees, spread offenses will be feast or famine in the SEC. It caused Urban to bail out with little hesitation.That’s what happens anytime you build a team around an up-tempo spread offense.
