If you were on the Internet over the past 36 hours, chances are you heard the rumors that Gus Malzahn was going to get fired and replaced by a “high level” coach sometime before the end of this week.
Chances are you also saw very opposite stories coming from different writers around the country. Some of them were, in fact, Auburn beat writers, while others were, in fact, reporters of a different nature.
They all had sources. They all had a highly-placed bug in the athletic department, or board of trustees, or powerful booster. Maybe they just happened to be at adjacent urinals with someone on a conference call (a major faux pas in civilized society, but that’s neither here nor there) and overheard something.
