Saban terrified: Auburn to hire Boise State's Bryan Harsin as head coach

[Durty South Swamp]

Actually, the worst part of being fired for him is that he's going to be stuck at home with that insane wife of his. Buyout or no, I'd take the first job that came my way if I were him just to get out of the house.

If you haven't seen this psycho grab a microphone and indulge herself in a cringefest during a televangelist hour, here's a real treat for you:

she's kinda hot tho for an older broad.

Would definitely pee...

@BruceFeldmanCFB: Hearing that Kevin Steele is gaining more traction with key people and has emerged as the leading candidate for the #Auburn head coaching vacancy. Feldman: Auburn needs a football coach. Who are the likely candidates?

Auburn fans about to make vols seem like a reasonable bunch following a questionable hire.

I just finished reading a top coaches ranking piece on 247 that had Malzahn two spots behind Mullen at 11th.

It’s why I’m not a fan of firing someone that’s doing “OK” until you know exactly who you want to replace them. The days of looking after firing should be history with these massive buyouts.

I think Malzahn is a better coach than Mullen and would do very well at UF. I do like our offense this year compared to anything Malzahn would have, but we all know that this year's offense is the exception for Mullen and not the norm. Malzahn, while being an offensive guy, doesn't ignore the defense and fields well-rounded teams. His success lives or dies with QB play.

He did win 1 SEC in his first year and went to the BCS NCG, but Malzahn has lost at least 4 games in each of the 7 years since. He lost 5 in 3 of those seasons and 6 in another. He’s kind of a flake. No thanks.

I can’t believe Grantham’s name hasn’t been mentioned. He is an elite DC who also coached in the nfl. It would break my heart to see him go. I would personally drive him to Auburn myself just to make sure he gets there.

If they know his defensive style, then, of course, they'd choose to pass on him.

Just a public service reminder, crazy chics are great in bed and fun to bang, but you don't marry one or even date them for long.

Don't Crazy chicks come from scrambled eggs?

Very similiar coaches.

They are the same guy, essentially. We dont want everyone either.

See there's the problem ... that observers could think HC "so&so" could replace the HC we got. Can you imagine that ifea comimg out on Spurrier when he was here?

Agreed. Both fall into my "glorified high school coach" category.

Pretty much resigned to keeping Mullen until a home run hire becomes available. I'd love to know who that home run hire is though. Last thing I want to see is the circus of us firing Mullen and then trying to court whoever the hell is out there.

well... they both see the field know what's going on in a very high level way. If you remember at Arkansas, Malzahn was forced to run a very conventional power run and vertical passing offense, and he ran it well. Then he went to somewhere in the midwest I forget and ran a pass heavy spread, before coming to Auburn and using a very run heavy spread option.

Mullinz is the same way. He proved at the first of this year that he can run a vertical offense. Imagine if he had stuck with it. Or used that with Leak. Easy wins instead of squeaker after squeaker.

Mullinz COULD be tue next SOS, but he wants to be the next Lou Holtz instead.

It is sad.

This job SHOULD be top 3. It SHOULD be the job that everyone not already at Texas or USC wants.

The cat is out of the bag Everyone knows our chintzy azz athletic department will do the absolute minimum necessary to support the football program and that our ADs lie to coaches repeatedly.

Youre probably right. Mullinz is mediocre and will lose the same 3 or 4 games that 78% of the other coaches would but we wouldnt be an attractive target to an elite coach even if one were out there.

@BruceFeldmanCFB: DC Kevin Steele still has key supporters at #Auburn in his corner but I'm hearing the Tigers also are interested in speaking w/ #Clemson's Tony Elliott and Brent Venables for their coaching vacancy in addition to Steve Sarkisian & Billy Napier. Lane Kiffin also could be in play.

Fukit, sign him up.

 

[oxrageous]

They are talking to all these walking jokes and actually holding their nose up to Hugh Freeze because he diddled a hooker a decade ago?

I guess that mean Dullems beats Saban today then? Because he's 0-9 so far which doesn't sound very Malzahn-like.
