Auburn football: CBS also sees Gus Malzahn as home run hire for UCF

CBS never used the term “home run” to describe the hiring of former Auburn football coach Gus Malzahn by the UCF football program, but judging by their write-up and grade of the new Knights’ coach arrival in Orlando, they probably agree with Fly War Eagle in that no runners were metaphorically stranded on base.

Malzahn was announced to be the new lead man of the locker-room at the Bounce House this past Tuesday in a press conference and was even “knighted” by Knightro, the school’s mascot.

If there were any Tiger fans that were feeling nostalgic and even missed Malzahn, seeing him bring back his classic “boom” template for his announcement that Travis Williams will be the new defensive coordinator must have hit fans in the feels.
