VTTW Board Index

They have been running that triple option for a while now and have recruited to it. Not a lot of coaches run that any more. Likely they will hire some who has a different offensive system

I think they go to the same source that they went to the last time - West Point

Possibly the shizzleidel.

Malzahn?

lol

This rumor is all over the Auburn boards, but they are just desperate.

His buyout is still ridiculous. He is at Auburn for a minimum of two, maybe three years IMO. 

Now Lindsey's name is being mentioned as possible to join ole Les Miles at Kansas.

Buyouts don't matter. If Malzahn wants out (and he might) he can restructure his contract. Someone rich alum could pay his buyout. If Auburn wants him gone, he will be gone - buyouts don't stop stuff like that.

When the buyout at the end of this season is $32M, it matters.  This was discussed exhaustively back in September and October when Malzahn was struggling and there was a broad consensus that there is no way Malzahn is getting bought out.  I don't think you were paying attention back then.

He may choose to leave and not take a buyout, but I just don't see it.  Ga Tech is not the weak Ga Tech of the 70s and 80s, but it's still a big step down from Auburn.

I honestly would bet my house...scratch that, 10% of the value of my house, that Malzahn does not leave Auburn this year.  I would bet significantly less that he doesn't leave next year.  2020 is the earliest he can go IMO, because the buyout drops to ~ $20 miliion.  I think he will do well enough by then that Auburn will keep him around another year or two.

Auburn would be happy if he left on his own.  Rumor has it they are making it hard for him to hire assistants and get upgraded facilities in order to encourage him to leave, but I have no idea if that's true.  If it is, it's very sad, because it means the BOT is sabatoging their own coach because they made a stupid contract decision.  So I don't actually believe those rumors.  It's in everyone's interest for him to succeed.

But yeah, my house is a rather moderate 1740 sq feet and it's an older house in an area of town that is not appreciating very rapidly - I am single and not too demainding of my house, though I am thinking about moving to a more modern one (mine was built in 64).  All of which to say my house is ~ 150K.  I will bet $15,000 that Malzahn doesn't leave this year.   :naughty:

Since Lindsey is now out at Auburn I'd say it's a safe bet Gus is back.

My gosh....Gus beat Bama and UGA last year who were both No.1 at the time and played in the SECCG and they were beat up and their stud RB was injured. They had to replace almost their entire OL this season.....It's dumb to want to fire him right now.

If there is a fanbase dumber than ours it would be on the plains

1A and 1B....don't ask me who's the A.

Auburn will do anything to stay up with big brother Bama.....We are getting close to doing the same to keep up with Vandy. :banghead:

ouch

Update: GT hired Geoff Collins from Temple. Won't be triple option any more
