Alabama Football: Auburn’s rocky transition to a new coach shows a program far from elite with no idea of how to change.
Auburn football is a major mess. Alabama football fans are loving it. Notice the word ‘again’ was not used in the first sentence. ‘Again’ is a major mess, would suggest an occasional or cyclical, rather than a constant situation. Minus a brief reprieve in 2010, Auburn is exactly where it has been for most seasons since Shug Jordan’s team won a National Championship in 1957.
To allow Auburn to hire a new head coach requires paying in excess of $25M dollars to Gus Malzahn and his former assistants.
