If he was good enough to have an offer from AU, I'd suspect he'd have offers from other programs. My first reaction in that scenario would be to say, "Let's see who else would be coaching him." If it was the only offer at all, sure. Free education.
Other thing going on: Malzahn signed this idiotic contract with a former university president, Leeth, who was fired this summer for an as-yet-undisclosed reason (or reasons) and scuttled away without a peep. Leeth also was there when Pearl's gigantic contract was redone despite all the NCAA issues that still have not been resolved.
Now Malzahn's working with a giant contract and buyout thanks to that former president and the Board member who's supposedly responsible for pushing-urging-OKing the $49M deal - Ray Harbert - along with an interim president (Gogue) and Athletic Director who was supposed to be a fundraising superman but probably is thinking "WTF kind of storm did I get myself into here?"
Auburn = Champions of Turmoil
From what I have heard, good ol Raymond pushed the deal by the board by personally guaranteeing half the buyout cost ($16 million) if they wanted to get rid of Gus. Then good ol Raymond crawfished last year when some of the board wanted to knock the wheels off the Gus Bus. Kinda makes you wish for the days when Bobby Lowder had full control of the board.

I usually don't agree with 257 but player development at the barn is lacking to say the least. And honestly to me it does look like nix has gotten worse thru the yr instead of improving with experience

I didn’t read all the replies because I’m using my phone. I hate reading Aldeer in micro. Regardless...
I don’t like Gus because he doesn’t have a good offensive scheme. He apparently can’t come up with a solid offense and relies on mostly big “bust” plays to consistently move the ball. He dang sure can’t develop talent. The top 2-3 record against top 5 teams this year is solely because of Kevin Steele’s defense.
Every year under Malzahn has been the same. Tons of preseason hype which resulted in sub par offensive play through the year.
If Bama had AUs defense they’d still be #1. Would You Bammer fans be satisfied with Gus if he was your coach? No need to answer.

Hey, Leroy. Sorry I haven't kicked in on this post. I'm just sick and tired of football, Malzahn, people that cry about a dreamed up happiness for a college kid getting hurt, overall hate, war, and prayers sent up to make the home team invincible. Don't care for the sunshine pumpers (stealing from Clem). Truly don't care for the diehard, life or death, pathetic people, that know nothing about the realities, educational goals, nor accomplishments of the school whose football team guides their lives. Really, just tired of fans of all teams that look at the athletics, and hate the school that just might come up with a solution that saves their child's life. Really physically tired, too. Just tired of shucks. Ernie sounds like you need a trip to the beach. Hang in there!

Those that think Gus is a decent coach, care to guess what his record is against Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida isince he's been at Auburn? If you haven't thrown up after looking up those records move on to his combined record against teams that finished the season in the top 10. He's not just bad. He's a disaster considering his top 5 salary. If Steele weren't at Auburn Gus wouldn't have 5 wins a season the last 2 years.

Gus definitely sucks, but the real question is, who do you hire? There aren't but a handful of good coaches out there. Auburn is a great job, but you are still coming into the same division in a conference with Saban. That's not an ideal setup for success I'm not sure who you hire. But I simply can't comprehend the likely $5-8 million salary. There's not a guy that'll do it for $2 million? There are plenty that would, and without a $25 million buyout, I would imagine. No other industry has such insane buyouts, that I'm aware of.

The sad part, he is probably about to win the iron bowl.
AU will not fire him after that. Alabama is going to fall on the sword and make the best of this season by losing and keeping Gus around. All part of the plan.

Honestly I cant see a top tier kinda coach that would want the job. Dealng with string pullers there plus Bama, UGA and LSU every year. Of course there is that guy that would love 5 + million dollars a year plus a crazy buyout to give it a go. I think the next guy they would get would come from another mid-major like Gus did.

AU will not fire him after that. I agree. If a win means keeping Gus and a loss means Gus is gone who does the serious AU fans pull for? ONLY these 2 options because not watching or pulling for anyone will be the obvious pick.

Mark Stoops to Auburn as HC and Kevin Steele to LSU as DC. I feel both will make each team and the West a lot tougher.
