At the SEC spring meetings, Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs reaffirmed his commitment to Gus Malzahn as the leader of the Tigers’ football program.
“He’s our coach and he’ll be our coach for a long, long time,” Jacobs said.
I hope Jacobs is right. Should Malzahn turn in another subpar season, though, the decision on his future might not be Jacobs’ to make. Jacobs could be joining Malzahn in the ex-Auburn employee category.
Jacobs is as true of an Auburn man as you ever could find. Jacobs grew up as an Auburn fan in nearby LaFayette, Ala.
