“He’s as good as a football coach as you’re gonna get at Auburn.”
As an Auburn fan, I find this comment insulting. It insinuates there is a ceiling on the level of success Auburn should aspire to attain. Corso wants us to be OK with the 8-5 and 7-6 seasons Malzahn has authored because, well, it’s Auburn; it’s not like it’s Alabama or Ohio State or Texas – teams that should expect to compete annually for conference and national titles. It’s just little old Auburn.
I can almost feel him patting me on the head, giving me a lollipop and telling me to go sit back down.
