Alabama football has some painful history stemming from hiring football coaches. The Mike Dubose, Mike Shula and Dennis Franchione tenures, not to mention the almost tenure of Mike Price show the Crimson Tide has not been immune to self-inflicted wounds.
All of the above mess combined does not surpass what is occurring in the Loveliest Village on the Plains. Auburn University has lost its collective mind. Last year’s seven-year $49M extension to Gus Malzahn was clearly an ill-thought decision. What the Aubies are doing now is far worse.
Apparently, an effort to push out Gus using new football staff restrictions failed.
