Clemson crushed Pitt yesterday; ND beat Pitt by 5 points this season. I was just speaking in how he righted the ship after going 4-8. He realized his shortcomings and took a bold step to correct them. Which involved him stepping back from some offensive responsibility and let his coaches do their jobs. Maybe Gus should take notes.

And if he replaces the OC will he let the new guy run his offense? He may need to consider that if he wants to maintain longevity at Auburn or in his career. Kelly like Gus was heavily into the offense but took a step back. Something Gus needs to consider IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His process and consistency is something to appreciate. We need to find a coach with some type of winning process from the time you step in the building and off the field. We should appreciate the contribution$ of the REC as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson only beat Cuse at home by 4. ND drilled them by 33 at a neutral site. The same week that Clemson played Cuse, sunshine was named starter...and then was knocked out in the second quarter thus the third string QB had to win them that game. That should be considered also.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint with the committee this year is that they should have flipped 2 and 3, but that really doesn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly's seat was white hot there for a while. Fans were about to burn him out of town. To his credit he did change staff and re-tooled his offense.

Auburn Kev 1,653 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Latest from Phillip Marshall. Quote The winner: Malzahn heads safely toward the 2019 season ByPhillip Marshall 18 minutes ago Gus Malzahn is expected to be Auburn's coach in 2019. (Photo: Jason Caldwell/Inside The Auburn Tigers--AUTigers) AUBURN, Alabama – After a week of uncertainty, negotiations and recriminations, Auburn head football coach Gus Malzahn has emerged as the apparent winner. Malzahn told his assistants at a Sunday morning staff meeting he was not going anywhere. Other sources confirmed that president Steven Leath and trustee Raymond Harbert, who represented Leath in negotiations with Malzahn, will move forward with Malzahn. Thus ended one of the more tumultuous weeks in recent Auburn athletics history. After a 7-5 season ended last Saturday with a 52-21 loss at Alabama, Malzahn was taking heavy criticism. Leath and Harbert wanted Malzahn to accept a reduction in his buyout going forward and restrictions on paying assistant coaches. What Malzahn agreed or didn’t agree to is not certain. Leath and Harbert withstood pressure from numerous corners and stood by their man. With a game remaining against Purdue in the Music City Bowl, Malzahn is 52-27 overall and 28-20 in the SEC through six seasons. This season started out with high expectations and ended in disappointment. After a 30-24 loss to Tennessee, the calls for change grew loud. After Auburn bounced back with a 31-16 win at Ole Miss, athletics director Allen Greene said that Malzahn would be Auburn’s coach in 2019. In an interview with AuburnUndercover, Leath said he supported Greene’s statement. After back-to-back losses at Georgia and Alabama to end the season, anger over the seven-year, $49 million contract with 75 percent that Leath, with Harbert’s support, gave Malzahn last December boiled over. Fans and donors were complained and complained loudly. But now the deal is done. Malzahn won an SEC championship and took Auburn to the BCS Championship Game in 2013, his first season as head coach. In 2017, he led the Tigers to the West Division championship and wins over Alabama and Georgia when they were ranked No. 1 nationally. Since signing his new contract, Malzahn is 7-7 overall and 4-7 against power-five teams and Central Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,688 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Literally EVERYONE ELSE wanted Gus fired besides Leath and Harbert. And it was just them trying to save face and pride why they did not want to fire him. Whatever. Cannot wait to do this all over again in a year. Just another typical drama filled season as is life as a Auburn fan is most years. Especially with Gus as coach. HURRAY for a lame duck year next season where the season does not matter at all.

What’s in that new contract will determine if Gus was a winner or just shuffling the deck chairs. Harbert and Leath were protecting their interests, not necessarily the Auburn Football program.

This is beyond baffling no one ******* wants him here and yet here he is. At least I won't have a false sense of positivity for next year. 6-6 here we come!
