I think him, shaw, clark, or campbell I think he would be a good choice and we would probably get Eddie Gran back at Auburn since he is currently UK's off cord.

Seems like these guys were still in the Georgia-Bama wins afterglow. Contracts must be formulated and negotiated objectively, and certainly not right after big wins. Losing the SECCG and bowl games like we did should have thrown some cold water in Leath and Co.'s faces. It was quite literally the ONLY bright spot in Auburn Athletics that Leath had seen since he unpacked his boxes in his AU office. Leath had been dealing with a constant barrage of negative headlines relative to AU Athletics for months and months. Sunny Golloway's (baseball) wrongful termination lawsuit + Corey/Clint Myers (softball) sexual discrimination case involving Title IX ramifications + Bruce Pearl (basketball) having his Asst HC indicted with the damn FBI involved & 2 other assts suspended + 2 basketball players suspended for a year + AU Compliance breathing down everyone's neck + having to literally force the AU AD to pack his bags and leave. The only bright spot was AU football beating the #1/#2 teams in the country by a HC with no off-the-field issues, no coaches on his staff acting inappropriately, and no players parents or asst coaches taking money on the side (a NCAA violation), Leath & the PTB were most definitely basking in the afterglow and chose to act irrationally with that contract. It is what it is now and Auburn will piss or get off the pot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFanAU 586 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 34 minutes ago, Auburn Kev said: This is relevant also because if Auburn wants to get out from Malzahn’s contract, it has to hope the coach just takes a job elsewhere. Depending on the Tigers’ view of their head coach, that might be a dream. Due to the contract structure, Malzahn would owe Auburn a buyout if he left, with the amount getting smaller as time goes on: $7 million if it were in 2019 or sooner $5 million if it were in 2020 $3 million if it were in 2021 $2 million if it were in 2022 $1 million if it were in 2023 or 2024 If Gus has any dignity in him, then he should go find another job. Hell, give him another $7 million on his way out. He has to know he's not performing at the $49 million level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't - it's nothing more than wishful thinking. And watch what happens the longer this thing drags out with Gus' neck on the chopping block, the more far-fetched these "candidate lists" will get.

Auhud08 596 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Chryst and richt are in their final jobs. Chryst is a UW alum and richt is in his twilight years at the U. The best guy is VTs coach but he seems to really like it their, would take a lot of money to move him. To me the chance is to go after a coach who has exceeded expectations, built a program, at a B list school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're supposed to be an "offensive genius" and your offense is falling apart around your ears for the second time in four years for the same stupid reasons, that tends to happen.
