The roller-coaster ride that is Auburn football didn’t begin with Gus Malzahn’s arrival on the Plains. While fans, myself included, are frustrated by the ups and downs of being an Auburn Tiger, it has been a part of life for generations.
Still, Auburn’s struggles on offense both this year and previous years under a coach who has been called by superlatives such as “innovator” and “offensive genius” have at times driven wedges in the fan base as well as between the fan base and the administration.
Football, in general, is called the single greatest team sport, but it is hard to put a finger on any single reason why a team rises or falls.
