Built by Auburn and seasoned by Georgia! Had wonderful experience with him and Coach Russell as I was being recruited. My brother coached at Athens HS and coached Andy Johnson. I attended several UGA games as a junior and senior in high school. Finally decided on Auburn. God Bless Coach Dooley and not forgetting Coach Russell another Auburn built individual!

Why not consider Bob Stoops if he’s available for the Auburn position? SEC experience, national championship credentials, super recruiter, sound Xs and Os coach and strong moral fiber and character! A perfect man that typifies the Auburn tradition and The Auburn Creed?

As a retired high school football coach & principal in Alabama & S.C. it's time for serious reflection by Auburn University's board, president & ad at our institution. Here's a fast a assessment: 1. High school head coaching is totally different from SEC; Coach Malzahn needed more assistant experience regarding SEC seasoning prior to accepting Auburn's head coaching post. One year at Arkansas State as the leader is NOT enough! It's enough to handle it as a high school AD/Head coach at larger school with +1500 enrollment! He followed Hugh Freeze at Arkansas State with loaded personnel and staff! Freeze is also is damaged goods due to lack of leadership control and big time college seasoning. It's quite obvious Malzahn is overwhelmed in coaching selections, recruiting quality-coachable players, player development, game planning, game-time adjustments and finally taking sole responsibility for this melt-down. 2. Place the offensive coordinator in the coaches box to properly view and assess the game, one can't from the sideline(common sense). Communicate via assistant to QB. Make better calls as to weaknesses of opposing defenses or adjustments. 3. Place line coach on sideline for interior line coaching up or adjustments especially since it's no secret the left tackle & guard are seriously needing player development. 4. Seek outside resources to coach up receivers until hiring experienced pro style coaches for these skilled players. 5. Same outside sources for defensive secondary coaching for the interium, then hire pro secondary coach. 6. Malzahn alter his million $$ salary to share with the assistant coaching salaries(ref. Dabo). One must pay and maintain quality staff. Auburn has witnessed too to much turnover with coaching staff. 7. Notify Coach Malzahn you are being officially being placed on notice of pending release of contract. Terminate any and all bonuses pending this year until further notice regardless of Auburn's final season record. This might seem harsh but it's this or being terminated mid-season. 8. Release assistant coaches with receivers and defensive secondary and perhaps offensive line. Replace with pro-style experienced coaches(former pro and Auburn players). 9. Hire strong recruiting coach attentive to player skill sets regarding RPO/NHO scheme. Coaches Steel and Garner can assess the defense's needs. 10. Stop making excuses, take responsibility.
