But I will say this, I think it's pretty clear now that much of Auburns past success was due to Malzahn and not Chiz. So I think Auburn's offense will be GREATLY improved. The question is weather the defense will suffer?

The question is weather the defense will suffer? I respectfully disagree. Most Auburn fans are not just fans of football. Their life does not go up and down depending on W/L, recruiting, or awards. Most Alabama fans are opp. Auburn does not demand 0, 1, or 2 loss seasons every year. (I feel sorry for whoever coaches at Alabama after Saban). If the program keeps its nose clean and wins 8-12 a year, you keep your job. He needs a very strong DC hire.

If I were an Auburn fan I would not be overjoyed about the Malzahn hire either. I think the reason they hired him was so they could keep Trooper and Luper. Had they hired a prominent outsider, that coach would have dumped those two scoundrels immediately, and would have demanded full control of the program. That's something I don't believe Pat Dye will ever do.

I was looking forward to Gus developing the Red Wolves into the Boise State of the South.

You need to run the spread at auburn Malzahn runs the spread. Gus will win at Auburn but no coach is good enough for all of you auburn fans. You should pick him up at the airport. You poor baby Malzahn's your coach

I just said I think Auburn settled. jwheels and fudge, I am worried, like jimmy said, that it will be business as usual. If you are not familure with the situation, do research or keep your comments to yourself.

All-Star Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 12489 Location: Alabama	#18 Posted: 12/4/2012 10:22:39 PM Chizik murdered that program, he was a defensive coach but yet NEVER fielded even a decent defense there. Malzahn was his saving grace for 3 years and once he left, well we all saw what happened.. If Malzahn can hire a DC worth a damn he will be just fine in 2 years. That offense is going to work, they brought him right back to many of the guys he recruited himself and fit the system. This isn't a bad hire by any stretch like some people are making it out to be. It's a better hire than what Arkansas just made.

But, 4-5 def recruits, if they stay committed, to make immediate impact next year. Auburn will be fine.
