I'm 99% sure it is.

Gus is a great coach, he would do very well at Texas. But I don't think he's coming.

It's inevitable that he'll get calls in the future, it's up to Auburn to up his contract and hope his connections to the community are enough to keep him there.

Then you fired him for his first bad season. A common theme there.

Who is Gus's agent?

If it's Sexton, clearly, he has Thamel on his speed dial. He knows the Past with Thamel and Auburn, and spilling him this info get Gus and his staff a nice pay raise.

Sexton is the best, he's been able to get a lot of coaches big money.


Well honestly if it's Sexton, he can offer both Saban and Malzahn to Texas and see which one they'll bid more for.

Confirmed it's Sexton: the link

Jacobs says the coach is focused on Saturday's game with Missouri and doesn't want to discuss a new contract until after the season.

He said he had a brief conversation with Malzahn's agent, Jimmy Sexton, a couple of weeks ago.


Sexton's going to get paid either way...

Saban's plan, as usual, going flawlessly.
Texas wouldn't touch Gus with a 10 foot pole.

Actually he'll probably get paid both ways. I figure both will get some extra scratch after this year's all said and done.

Just like Texas did with Fred Akers in '86. 2nd-most successful HC in their history behind Darrel Royal, but his first ever sub-.500 season was enough for him to be shown the door.

His successor, David McWilliams, was a Longhorn alum and former assistant who won an NC as a player under Royal. He was fired for going 5-6 a year after winning 10 games and an SWC Championship.

Then came John Mackovic, who got the axe one year after winning back-to-back conference championships: the final SWC title and the inaugural Big 12 crown.

Ar you starting to see a pattern?

I hope Gus stays at Auburn. It would be great for Alabama to have both Auburn and Alabama slugging it out every year while LSU goes to the Chik-fil-A Bowl.

According to Kristi, Gus told Michael Dyer privately that coaching the Longhorns is his dream job. If confronted with the choice between Auburn and Austin, it's a no-brainer move for Malzahn to bolt.


Fixed!

Texas doesn't want Malzahn.

They have been in spread style offenses the last 8-9 years and are tired of it.

If Mack resigns, it's because Saban has said yes.

Really? Let's examine your last 3 Replacements.

Bowden...3rd most successful coach in Auburn history by win % (btw 1 and 2 coached prior to 1925)

Worst season prior to his last...8-4, prior season 10-3. Resigned before his termination.

Much like Dye before him...wasn't given a choice.

Then we have Tubs. 7 times he finished 2nd or better in the West. One bad season...yer outa here. BTW, have ya'll paid off his buyout yet?

Then you have the Chiz...2 years removed from a title....bye bye. Worst year at Auburn...8 wins. How long before you're done paying him off btw?

Gus would be wildly successful at UT. He would get his pick of any Texas recruit that likely already knows much of his system. Plus, all he has to do is beat OU to go to the national title. Next year at AU he would have to beat aTm, LSU, Bama, Ole Miss, Georgia, and USCe, plus win the SEC title game.
