Auburn’s 30-24 loss to Tennessee may end up proving to be the one that gives people enough cause to get rid of Gus Malzahn. Since the 2014 loss to Texas A&M, the reverse-resume for Gus has grown and grown.
There’s the 2015 season, starting in the top ten and finishing with a Birmingham Bowl bid. There’s the run during 2016, after the LSU game that temporarily saved his job, where we played like the best team in the SEC until Sean White’s arm fell off. Auburn limped home from Amen Corner with losses. Then last year, there’s the dependency on Kerryon Johnson and the lack of a backup running back that ruined the Playoff hopes in Atlanta.
