The 2018 regular season closed this past Saturday with the annual Iron Bowl. In the wake of the blowout, Auburn fans find themselves not only at a crossroads but pointing fingers at one other over justifying a head coach.
With the book closed, the conversations and arguments have shifted from numbers and games to boil down to this:
“Auburn is historically an 8–5 team that occasionally over-achieves.” That’s typically followed by “Whom would we hire that’s better?” Lastly, “A new coaching staff would set Auburn back a decade.”
Some want Malzahn gone. Some are OK with the historical status quo.
