Gus Malzahn fired (and (laughable) coaching search...)

[14ennessee]

Hes a good coach, but this shouldn't scare bama fans at all. It's a whole different level to coach against SEC competition and there are multiple big name coaches he will be recruiting against as well. It was probably the best white they could get after their main targets declined.

He will have a tough task against the likes of Saban, Kiffin, Leach, Smart, Mullen.

I already feel like I’m never gonna remember his name.

Just think Cantonese cuisine

That’s kinda what I thought too. Might actually be a good hire if he can recruit around here. But boy, how far down the list do you think this guy was?

Either 8th or 9th

 

[14ennessee]

This I think is gonna be as Brady Hoke was to Michigan.

 

[Cruiser]

Just curious; given the current PC climate, they did not approach or interview a candidate of color?

That number 52 ranked class has got to be shaking its head.

Now Awbarn has a recruiting pipeline to the talent hotbed of Idaho

I guess when you're paying your outgoing coach $21MM, you gotta go for the cheap longshot. Auburn be like

 

[Dudeman]

The dark days for Auburn are ahead of them not behind.

They should have been playing in this potato bowl to get a head start.

You have to get in on that baked potato game or you don’t have a chance at winning a championship

The hire doesn't worry me at all. He will be about as good as another Boise State coach, Dan Hawkins, was at Colorado.

I think this is a good point. He may be a good coach, but is he ready to face the pressure and quality of coaching he'll face in the SEC? Or will the SEC chew him up and spit him out in a few years a la Doug Barfield?

Even Chris Peterson, the best of them all, didn’t set the world on fire at Washington. Yes I recall the one playoff birth they had. We beat them with a drunk OC calling plays that didn’t exist in the playbook.

Since the boogs have got'em a coach now, I've started a new thread on Harsin

BREAKING - Auburn hires Brian Harsin from Boise State as new head coach (now official)

Just as good as Jim Harbaugh?

 

[TitleWave]

Just think Cantonese cuisine

Or a mnemonic like “Harsin not yet suspected in ongoing dumpster fire that is We’burn football.”

Solid hire known for the level of consistency they’ll need for dominating the AAC from the moment they flee the SEC. Harsin’s buddies touted him for the Tejas job when Charlie Strong got fired - he never got a complimentary T-shirt worth of consideration.
