He's likely 1-2 years away from jumping to a major school. Well he def would not leave to be a OC anywhere. A side of the ball he has never even coached before at the college level lol. I am pretty sure in his professional life all his bones were made as a DC and on that side of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and without your input. See how easy that is? So I actually hope he does this and prove us doubters wrong. So you , poet and 64 can also find a definitive answer on your guy. He is an offensive Guru? Let’s see it then for the Gus Gobblers. I thought maybe you could come up with some of the whiners that mentioned this earlier in the season. Or maybe even when some few of us were recommending that Gus take over the play calling back in the summer. Johnny-come-latelys is what you've got there. No original thought, just parroting what they heard when faced with desperation after it finally sunk in that Gus would be coaching Auburn next season. I do think they have finally come around to correct thinking. Gus should be doing what numerous other head coaches are doing and calling his own plays.

TAYLORKEETON 792 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Think of it like this guys. The LAST time Gus called plays with a mobile QB (Marshall) we had a top 10 offense back to back years. Before you flame, I’m NOT saying it’ll happen I’m just saying if Gus calls the plays that’s what I’ll be hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might want to see how they're run. Gus could have used a few years under a successful SEC coach. His lack of strategic and operational management skills, along with the not having made SEC connections has handicapped him. Well, he COULD come work under Gus. He wouldn't learn the Sith ways but he would learn the ways of Jar-Jar Binks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He improved BC from 126th to 60-something in total offense in 3 years and now he's a head coach at the same program where Urban Meyer and Dino Babers got their starts. He didn't improve the offense at Va Tech nearly as dramatically but he did manage to improve it statistically despite Beamer being on the way out. He wasn't retained because of a head coaching change. As for Auburn, let me run some numbers by you: 16, 14, 17, 10, 41, 7, 35, 14. You know what those are? The points that Gus Malzahn scored in each of his last 9 games as Auburn offensive coordinator. Are those Scot Loeffler's fault, too? That 35 was against Samford, btw. What about us giving up 3 28+ pt losses to our 3 main rivals in 2011? And then doing it again in 2012 with two new coordinators? (Except swapping TAMU for LSU, because some nerd is going to point that out as if it matters.) That doesn't sound like an Auburn (Gene Chizik) problem to you?

WDE0007 166 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If Auburn makes Kodi Burns the new OC, it would without a doubt be the dumbest decision. But it's Auburn, so I really wouldn't be surprised. As many others have already mentioned, Gus becoming the new playcaller would be a sink or swim situation. But when you pair playcalling Gus with a mobile QB, you see a top 10 offense. If after next year we still have a mediocre offense and bad playcalling, everyone will know he's the only one to blame. He won't have a scapegoat. I'd love to get Hugh Freeze, but we all know he won't be here for more than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
