Some reporters want to talk about the four-way quarterback battle going on at Auburn this spring, while others want to talk about the head coach’s new car.
That’s the beauty of the SEC.
Gus Malzahn turned 50 years old back in October, and he responded by treating himself to a flashy new BMW i8.
He’s hardly the first guy to reach a milestone birthday and arrive home with a new ride, but Malzahn’s BMW, which has a sticker price north of $140,000, has been making its way through social media circles as a topic of conversation because he’s been smart enough to show it off to recruits.
After all, teenagers typically like fast cars.
Last month, a photo of Malzahn showing the car off to 2017 recruit Tray Bishop surfaced.
So it’s no surprise that the Auburn media was interested in hearing Malzahn’s story behind the new car during a recent spring practice media appearance.
AL.com captured Malzahn’s exchange with the media following Thursday’s practice:
