HOOVER, Ala. – Auburn leads the SEC in lemonade sales, live eagle landings and, this summer, negative perception.
“Overall I really like where our team’s at,” head coach Gus Malzahn said Monday at SEC Media Days. “I like where our staff’s at.”
What else is he going to say?
Probably not “We’re too far behind Alabama to matter in Alabama” or “Three defensive coordinators in three years?” or “Sure glad we have Vanderbilt at home.”
Auburn in Malzhan’s three seasons as head coach has gone from 12-2 with a national championship game loss to 8-5 to 7-6 (2-6 in the SEC).
