I disagree. There was no promise he was going to be the next head coach at USC. He doesnt already have another job to go to, so why leave the team high and dry right before the bowl game they worked hard for?

He's got one game, a bowl game at that, to coach for these kids who all talk about how much he cared for them and vice versa. Then he just quits upon hearing they hired Sark. Not cool in my book. But maybe he talked to them all before he left.

He held a team meeting to announce his resignation. And if he were to wait until after Bowl Season he could miss multiple jobs/recruiting time.

Haters are furious.

The team that played LSU, Washington State, Mississippi State is not the same team that beat Bama. Anyone who has followed Auburn even a little bit should know that. New coach, new QB, new systems, no one had any clue how capable this team was. Not to mention that Auburn was doing what they wanted at will vs LSU in the second half. The offense Auburn ran then had no zone read as Malzahn had no clue how good Marshall was in that role.

After the Ole Miss game, the offense has been lights out. Malzahn runs Marshall in the same role as Cam Newton save for him running more outside of the lineme instead between the tackles. Everyone harps on the defense, but they get stops when they need to. People were saying the same shyt in 2010 and thought Oregon was going to blow us out because we couldn't stop anybody.

I think we have a pretty good shot vs Mizzou. Vegas hasn't been on Auburn's side from the beginning of the season until now. The Georgia Dome will be mostly Auburn fans. shyt is going to be rocking. We'll see how it turns out but I'd definitely like to see Auburn play for the final BCSNC. It'll probably take some help from Duke and MSU though. I think we'd have no problems matching up with OSU. FSU would give us problems just because of how good Jameis and those recievers are.

Either way I'm happy with this season so far.

I like how our Offense make people forget about our Defense.

Nah, I've seen the games and the recruiting classes. I know that defense can get after it.

However, I'm always more worried about Auburn getting torched than us not being able to score. I think we're going to have some big problems trying to cover Mizzou's WRs this weekend.

recruiting is a non-factor b/c he doesnt have a job yet, and plenty of head coaches (see Sark) find new jobs while still in another job.

But I'm glad he explained himself to the players, I guess

He's basically a lame duck warming it up for someone else, it's time to leave

And we don't run a spread offense either

Pete Thamel still out there trying to write hit pieces on Auburn. Never seen a writer so obsessed with one school. Lets write an article about Malzahn to Texas before the SECCG. Dude is still mad the NCAA didn't give us the death penalty in 2010.

Did that with 1st team playing half a game damn near the whole season
