Be honest, had you ever heard the name Kenny Dillingham before Sunday night?

If not, you were not alone when Auburn announced the Memphis quarterback’s coach and offensive coordinator as Gus Malzahn’s new OC on The Plains. Dillingham will not call the plays on game day for the Tigers, something he did not do at Memphis during his only season on the job.

Before being named Memphis OC, Dillingham was the program’s tight end’s coach.

Not only was this a bizarre hire for Gus Malzahn, but Auburn also announced the hire at 10 p.m. local time on a Sunday night.

Here are some of the better reactions to the hire that came out in the hours after Auburn announced it:
