The Auburn Tigers lost once again on Saturday, this time to a Tennessee team that went 0-8 in SEC play last year.
To make matters worse, it was a home game for Auburn, and the game wasn’t even as close as the 30-24 final score made it seem.
There’s no relief in sight, either, for Auburn fans who are fed up with coach Gus Malzahn. From now until Dec. 1, his buyout figure remains a hefty $32 million:
For anyone wondering, Gus Malzahn's buyout is currently $32,143,750 per @USATODAY

That’s what you get for signing your coach to a seven-year, $49 million extension this past offseason. However, the Tigers had a lot of momentum at the time, so you can understand why Auburn did it.
Still, this year has been a disaster, and tough games against Georgia and Alabama still loom large on the schedule.
