Social media crushes Gus Malzahn, Auburn following loss to Tennessee
By Andrew Olson
Published:
A disappointing 2018 season for Auburn took a turn for the worse – much worse – with a 30-24 loss to Tennessee at home.
As we previously saw after an underwhelming home win over Southern Miss and a road loss to Mississippi State, the Tigers were the talk of Twitter. College football fans and media types had to plenty to say about Auburn’s struggles, coach Gus Malzahn (and his massive salary and buyout).
Here’s a small sampling of what Twitter is saying about Auburn:
Auburn is just a comedy of errors.

Auburn is going to need a miracle now. Looks like Tennessee is going to get its first SEC win since 2016. What a disaster year for Gus

Gus Malzahn at Auburn:
2013: Seconds from national title
2014: Regression
2015: Fans want him fired
2016: Fans want him fired
2017: Bounce-back, Big extension
2018: Fans want him fired— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) October 13, 2018
Auburn will forever regret hiring Gus Malzahn over Kirby Smart

Dear #Auburn President, BOT members and Athletic Administration;
What you have seen from #malzahn since the 2017 SEC Championship game is why you do NOT give a 7 year, $49 million dollar, extension to a head coach who has, for most of his tenure, been average at his job.#WDE

I’m predicting Auburn to finish 5-7 this year. Fire Gus Malzahn NOW.

Crazy to think Malzahn makes more than Kirby & Dabo. #Auburn #TENNvsAUB pic.twitter.com/hz0M1Ucrai

Your weekly reminder that Auburn went from firing Malzahn last november to guaranteeing him $49 Million to stay.

Gus malzahn and chip Lindsey are the worst coaching duo in the country 🤦🏽♂️

#Auburn has Championship Level Talent and Recruiting.
Also True:
Auburn has mid-tier coaching ability under Malzahn as a HC, OR the worst coaching communication/chemistry in major College Football.
Fans/AU people pay for and deserve better. Period.#WarEagle
