AUBURN
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn gives official statement on Will Muschamp
Will Muschamp is going to be the next head coach at South Carolina.
He spent one season at Auburn as the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football, prompting mass hysteria when the Tigers paired him with offensive-minded head coach Gus Malzahn.
But now the Tigers must rebuild a defense after what’s sure to be a massive drain of personnel and staff on that side of the ball.
Malzahn released this official statement on Sunday afternoon:
“I really appreciate Coach Muschamp’s hard work and dedication for our program at Auburn this past year and wish him nothing but the best with his new job. I will begin a search immediately for our next defensive coordinator.”
Boom Cocky….
Next time Gus don’t overhype someone as the best defensive mind in college football….next time keep your bubblegum Waffle House eating mouth closed….ps hire Paul Rhodes
Forgot about Rhodes but I’d put my money on Jeremy Pruitt being hired.
I actually hope not. Being an OM fan,he is much better than Muschamp
Pruitt is Alabama’s to lose.
I say this because I believe a prospective coordinator would want to go to a program with a proven winner as a head coach. Plus we should be able to beat Auburn in a bidding war. It’s also hard to forget that a coordinator would want the best facilities, which Alabama has. I’m not saying Auburn sucks in terms of the above criteria, I just believe that Alabama would have the advantage.
Muschamp is one of the BEST defensive minds in college football and it showed when he was at Auburn before and in the UF defense he left behind. That was not hype. In case you have not noticed, hype comes from the media.
Don’t spout nonsense – you embarrass yourself and give AU a bad name.
Says the pot.
I would say Gene Chizik but I think he doesn’t want anything to do with Auburn anymore.
He was not a good HC. That is why he is not a HC now. Maybe bama will hire him. Or UGA.
I think riots would happen if Chizik went to Alabama!
Sharpening my pitchfork as we speak.
You do realize Chizik’s kids still go to school in auburn, right? No wait you’re an Alabama fan, you don’t read.
You do realize that you’re on a website right now, where Alabama fans are…. You know… READING
or being read to.
Besides, I think the poster meant read outside of SDS.
Hope not because I think he would be good too. Hope he and Pruitt end up outside the SEC
BTW SDS, there was no “mass hysteria” at Auburn when he was hired. Typical SDS non-reporting and hype.
It doesn’t say it caused it at auburn. It says WHEN they paired him Malzahn, which he’s right as the “auburn to the playoffs as SEC champs” hype train started rolling across the country extremely prematurely.
The hype train was driven by non-reporting media sites like this one.
And thus ends the yard birds Era of relevance.
Wait wait wait…..you’re saying this as a Texas A&M fan? Hahahahahaha….Auburn’s 6-6 team smoked y’all this season so I wouldn’t be talking about irrelevance. I’d suggest you keep your trap shut until your team earns its spot in the SEC West
Hey, who did Auburn beat in the SEC west?
Obviously the Aggies! Read much?
Malzahn handled this in a classy manner and more than anything…is relieved. The ‘dark cloud’ over the Plains is moving east.
You can’t deny Muschamp is a really good DC. His problem is he keeps trying to move up the ladder too fast. IMO, he really should have stayed with AU for a 3-4 seasons and Right his ship before jumping to next job.
BTW – if he can’t win at FL he’s not going to win at SC
