Title: Auburn Plotting Against Gus Malzahn?
Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 26, 2018, 07:22:38 PM
Interesting article claiming Barn been looking around a couple of weeks.



Quote
Josh Moon, a political reporter for the Alabama Reporter, sent a series of tweets on Monday indicating that there are several top officials at Auburn who want the school to fire Malzahn. Moon also reported that those officials want a “top-level” coach to replace Malzahn, and that conversations with a potential candidate began two weeks ago.

Personally, I will believe it when I see it. He's owed $32 mil, half of it 30 days after his firing, the rest something like 90 days later. No way they can afford that type of money hit.

In regard to a potential candidate to replace Malzahn in that scenario, Football Scoop reported that Auburn representatives met with former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops several weeks ago. It is unclear if that is tied to Moon’s report.


No way.

To add more details re: AU/Malzahn: What I have been told comes from sources who have participated in these conversations. The buyout can be covered. But to front that sort of money, those involved want a "top-level" coach locked in place. /1

Josh Moon

@Josh_Moon
Those conversations with such a candidate began at least two weeks ago. The candidate in question was at the top of the list. He was surprisingly receptive to AU's inquiries and made it clear he would be interested in coming to AU for the right, Jimbo Fisher-type offer. /2



Pay $32 mil to Gus then give big time coach 10 years, $75 mil contract? Talk about being totally desperate, if true.

Not looking good for Auburn.

I'd like to know who these Barn "representatives" are.  My guess is they are alums.  I'm with you guys that I can't imagine the AU Pres or AD going along with that much expense related to a FB coach.

But yea...it is a sign of desperation.

They are just making crap up.  No way Stoops would retire from Oklahoma and then go to Auburn.

Whether it's Malzahn, Stoops or someone else coaching Auburn in 2019, if we've learned one thing about that job it's that it's never short on drama.

Dude, it's Stoops!


I suppose they could have gone after Les Miles, a cow college with a grass eater is a perfect fit.

I'm not so sure Stoops would turn this opportunity down.  Nobody, but nobody does a better golden parachute than Auburn.  Talk about a great retirement program...

Auburn cannot get out of their own way. They have created a coaching mess and may have to pay $32M to replace Malzahn in order to keep the fading fan base engaged. Their problem is no one wants the job.  :lol3:

 :stars: this is so true. CNS let him win a game to ensure he stays in place with an ungodly contract.  :clap: :clap: RTR!

I think CNS keeps Malzahn a job by letting him win a game ever so often then we go play for the NC every year and get to keep Gus. RTR!
