Hugh Freeze?
no
Steve Sarkisian?
no
Auburn hired the Boise State head coach. How is this guy going to be better than Gus Malzahn??
wouldn't surprise me if Auburn descends towards the SEC basement as other programs like Texas A&M and Arkansas rise

I haven't followed it hardly at all, but I am hearing that Auburn wanted to retain the defensive staff with the new hire.
Maybe it is just rumors, but that would seem weird to me.

Paying $21MM+(more to come) to hire someone not as good as Gus.  Good grief |

Not a lot of patience at Auburn...they seem to think they are a premier school like Alabama or Notre Dame.
But it's incredibly hard to get a foothold in the SEC West. The SEC West will chew you up and spit you out if you're a new coach. Look at what Arkansas has gone through, and now the Mississippi schools. Jimbo is just now getting A&M above water
I expect a decline in Auburn football...say goodbye to beating Alabama or Georgia in the next few years

I don’t know - this guy had success at Boise State which is a higher profile job than the job Malzahn came from. Give him a chance - he may be a breath of fresh air. Malzahn was always going to be on the hot seat, cut the losses and move on.
