can somebody explain him having any stock whatsoever to me?

other than his crappy offenses lately and lack of QB development, he's also supposedly a saban-esque a-hole

is he a good recruiter or something?

what rebuilding program is going to hire him on to revamp their offense now?

I think he's supposed to be a good recruiter. awful OC though

would have been great if AU hired him

"be thankful that miami fired him yesterday Auburn, because i bet you'd have gotten stuck with him"

i mean i'm not sold on malzhan at all, but nix at AU would have been fun

I have never understood how playing QB at Auburn for 7 years automatically equals being an offensive genius.

I thought he did pretty good with Harris (except for when it was late in the half). Not sure anyone coulda done much with Reggie Ball.

I thought they had a backup that graduated either the same year as reggie or before him, but he was better

I think hiring coaches has become like the NBA draft. AD's hire for potential. Look at the recent development of "coaches in waiting". That has never happened before. I think Nix, Applewhite and Jason Garret fall into the "He's got great potential to be a great coach" category.

IMO FWIW

wasn't he < 50% completion for his 4 year career?

ETA yes; and his completion percentage went down every year

he actually interviewed for the HC job

I wouldn't have been surprised if the good ol boys at AU had given him the job

I know, but he had that label and it sticks for a while. I think his stock is as low as ever, but he will go be a QB coach or OC for a small program for two or three years and be back again at a place like AU or Oklahoma.

The X in his last name mesmerizes people when they look at his resume.

have you watched tulsa this year? i haven't seen much of them, but has malzhan really changed that offense?

if he comes to AU with his O from 2006/2007 i just don't see how it can work in the SEC
