Auburn fires Gus Malzahn / hires Bryan Harsin

[Forza Azzurri]

Does anyone know if boosters or the university pays for this? I've looked and cannot find anything.

 

[qdawgg]

And here posters think it's insanity to make a change after 1-10.

It is because no other coach could come to SU and win 1 or more game this year, plus we’re going to be better next year.

Just glancing at Reddit it seems boosters paid up for the buyout

Fire Gilbert. Hire Malzahn.

Fire Gilbert. Hire Malzahn.

Malzahn is not going anywhere (with the possible exception of maybe Alabama) to be a coordinator.

Millions are losing their jobs around the country. Businesses filing for bankruptcy. But Auburn will fire their head coach and pay him 10 million. Seems reasonable

Whoa... keep these thoughts to yourself before you have rioters in front of your house calling you a socialist. Dangerous times to be thinking like this.

 

[qdawgg]

Should we be throwing Rutgers in to that all-time list? Given they invented the game...?



I’ll see myself out now.

It’s amazing isn’t it? Coach is a proven failure, goes 1-10 against his own conference!!!!! And another loss to an fcs school and people act like he has shown that he deserves 2 or 3 more seasons.

I feel horrible for the people who are struggling across the country but Would that money have been spread out across the country? It’s donor money for the most part and they can spend their hard earned dollars anyway they see fit.

It's Alabama where people have been killed over football games.

I think this one has to be explained in greater detail.

Not a single other coach in the country could have put together more then 1 win this season under same circumstances????

Don't forget the going rate for his successor will be another $5m to $8m per.

Umm, who are you? What was it about what I said didn’t come off as sarcasm?

 

[JRHEETER]

look, we don’t have money like Auburn to fire our coach during a pandemic and pay the buyout I get it.

But I think we as a fan base should be more critical of this 1-10 season. Not because of going 1-10 but how we looked going 1-10.

We played a lot of games that we didn’t look like we had heart to be in the game and I think that’s what worries people.

Dino gets another year yes, but the team needs to look 100% different next season.

Not 2 or 3. 5.

FIVE!!! Hell, maybe 7.

Capeesh?

I figured as much. Boosters drive the bus. The AD is just there to do their bidding.

Plus their buyout if already a HC at another institution

You have got to be kidding. Back to pink and green?

And I was just starting to get used to Orange...

 

[sufandu]

Why? He's 55. In the next 5 years he could bank 60 plus million. Why wouldn't you?

That could be why. Some people like to retire early. It all depends on how much he likes coaching and the grind that goes with it versus freedom. If it were me, I wouldn't need near as much to retire right now, and I'm quite a bit younger than him.

we played like we were without our QB, like our OL was messed up, and a bazillion underclassmen were playing in a pandemic with two new coordinators against the 2nd hardest schedule since Mac coached the 85 team

lol

Malzahn's staff also gets an $8.3 million buy out, if not retained. This is an almost 30 million dollar decision. $29.75
