The Auburn Tigers haven’t had the season they thought they’d have. Entering Week 10, they find themselves with a 5-3 record and only a 2-3 record against SEC foes.
That has put a lot of pressure on coach Gus Malzahn, who, despite signing a 7-year, $49-million extension in the offseason, finds himself on the hot seat.
This week, Auburn AD Allen Greene spoke with reporters and said the season has been disappointing for everyone involved:
Allen Greene spoke to reporters following a Q&A event with donors last night. Regarding pressure on Gus Malzahn: "It's disappointing for everybody involved. … Every coach in this league has an expectation of winning conference championships."

It’s tough to read too much into those comments, but Auburn needs to have a strong finish to the season or Malzahn could be under a lot more pressure come December.
That won’t be easy, though, as games against Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama loom large on the Tigers’ schedule.
