Gus always got his hands on the offense.

Malzahn's genius ran out and his book on offense never came with a second volume. He struggled weighing his roots as a playcaller with the need to oversee an entire program. And as he flip-flopped his position calling plays, opposing coaches studied what he did and evolved, while Malzahn stubbornly remained the same.


Also this is my problem with Gus:

There were a number of reasons Gus Malzahn was fired by Auburn on Sunday after eight up-and-down seasons, but none was as ironic or as frustrating as the regression of the offense. The struggle there represented the crumbling of the foundation of the program and the core of Malzahn as a coach.

Why did Auburn pay Gus Malzahn $21.7 million to walk away? Offensive woes top list

Agree. The stubborn refusal to adapt and evolve is what we are dealing with now. Not sure Gus would be any different. BUT at this point I will support the nominee of the party.

Thanks. Needs to hire Major from Bama to be his OC/QB Coach and stay away. I'd be happy with that, but the chances are slim. Guess we will see.

Gus can’t ever truly let go of the offense. He hires an OC, gives him free reign to call plays, then takes said duties away and re-inserts himself as play caller.

He’s capable of winning 9-10 games a year and the SEC East. I’ll take it.

How's he going to get Steele and Steele's staff here?

If you can't answer that, I'd love to know how the 60th ranked nationally offense wins us 10 games with no defense to speak of.

Yeah, their DL was really good with Dontavious Russell, Marlon Davidson, Byron Cowart, and Derrick Brown.

Yes. Steele's defenses is the reason why Gus was able to stay at Auburn so long, but Stidham had a nice year that year too.

Gus only had real success in his first season with a transfer QB. Cam (as OC), Nick Marshall, and Stidham.

Exactly. If everyone is so enamored by Auburn's ability to win 8 games, just hire the reason they were able to win 8 games, not the reason they couldn't win more.

I don't want Steele. But hiring Steele would at least mean they took 2 seconds to understand why Auburn's situation was the way that it was.

Yea, but I will say again that Auburn is as dysfunctional as UT. Tommy T knows this.
