Auburn hires Malzahn as head coach
From the Associated Press
Auburn has turned to Gus Malzahn to restore a program that made an unprecedented fall two years after winning the national title with Cam Newton operating the then-assistant coach’s high-powered offense to perfection.
Malzahn was the Tigers’ offensive coordinator during their 2010 national championship run before heading to Arkansas State for his first college head coaching position. He received a five-year contract worth $2.3 million annually to try to get the team back on solid footing.
“I recruited a lot of them and have very good relationships,” Malzahn said. “I just told them our expectations are to win championships. Whatever happened last year happened last year. It’s a new day. We’re going to put a good brand of football on the field and we’re going to have fun doing it.”
He led the Red Wolves to a 9-3 record, a Sun Belt Conference title and a berth in the GoDaddy.com Bowl, then parlayed that into a job in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference.
Several hundred fans greeted Malzahn’s plane, and he rushed along the line exchanging high-fives. He promised to get Auburn “back to winning championships.”
“I’m just tickled to death,” he said. “It’s a true honor for me to be the head coach of the Auburn Tigers. I spent three years here and I can honestly say it’s the best three years of my life. I feel connected forever.”
The 47-year-old Malzahn returns with his fast-paced, no-huddle offensive style. He replaces former boss Gene Chizik, who was fired one day after a 49-0 loss to No. 2 Alabama to complete a 3-9 season.
Malzahn hasn’t ruled out coaching in the bowl game for Arkansas State, which said he had a $700,000 buyout.
Athletic director Jay Jacobs declined to say who else he interviewed, but said it didn’t matter.
“The characteristics that he brought to the table were head and shoulders above everybody else,” Jacobs said.
Before his arrival at Auburn in 2009, Malzahn had spent two seasons as Tulsa’s offensive coordinator. He was the offensive coordinator at Arkansas for one year after a successful run in the Arkansas high school ranks.
Auburn had the nation’s 115th-ranked offense last season, averaging 305 yards a game. The Red Wolves were ranked 19th in total yards under Malzahn.
“We will be a fast-paced, attacking-style offense and defense,” Malzahn said. “In this day and age, I believe you have to.”
It’s the second straight time Auburn has turned to one of its coordinators from an unbeaten team. Chizik ran the defense for the 13-0 team in 2004 but was hired by the Tigers despite a 5-19 record in two seasons at Iowa State.
“We are tremendously excited that Gus Malzahn will be our next head football coach,” athletic director Jay Jacobs said. “Coach Malzahn was the clear unanimous choice of our search committee, and I am pleased that Dr. Gogue has accepted our recommendation. This is a great day for Auburn football and Auburn University.”
The search committee was comprised of Jacobs, Auburn Heisman Trophy winners Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson and former Tigers player Mac Crawford.
Auburn owes more than $11 million in buyouts to Chizik and his coaching staff.
The Tigers are hoping Malzahn can return them to success after a winless SEC season.
“Gus Malzahn is a proven winner,” Jacobs said. “He is without question one of the brightest minds in college football and he has won everywhere he has been. Coach Malzahn knows what it takes to build a championship program in the Southeastern Conference. He knows our state and region and he understands what it will take to turn our program around. Coach Malzahn will also be an outstanding ambassador for Auburn University, and that was important to the committee.”
The NCAA has been investigating the recruitment of signee Jovon Robinson, who was ruled ineligible after a guidance counselor admitted to creating a fake transcript.
“I feel very confident that everything is fine, and that’s my understanding,” Malzahn said.
The Tigers badly struggled in a transition to Scot Loeffler’s pro-style last season, starting three quarterbacks.
Auburn was ranked in the top seven in rushing, total and scoring offense in 2010 and Newton won the Heisman Trophy in his lone season out of the junior college ranks. It was the Tigers’ first national title since 1957.
Without Newton, the Tigers slipped to 100th in total offense in 2011 and then dipped even further.
“We will have a fast-paced offense,” Malzahn said. “I believe this day and time it’s a great advantage.”
The hiring reunites Malzahn with the quarterback he recruited out of Arkansas. Kiehl Frazier was benched last season after struggling as the starter. He was USA Today’s national offensive player of the year as a high school senior.
Malzahn had been earning $1.3 million a year for the Tigers after interviewing with Vanderbilt after the national championship season. He took a substantial pay cut to join the head coaching ranks with the Sun Belt Conference team. Malzahn replaced Hugh Freeze, who also left after one season at Arkansas State to take over at Mississippi.
Chizik’s tenure was marred by off-the-field problems, including the arrest of four players from the championship team for armed robbery.
Malzahn also made a couple of decisions with players that didn’t pan out. Tailback Mike Dyer transferred from Auburn — where he was suspended — to Arkansas State. He was then dismissed by Arkansas State in July after a state trooper found marijuana and a gun in a car the national title game MVP was driving.
Jacobs said discipline was a factor in choosing Malzahn.

“Malzahn returns with his fast-paced, no-huddle offensive style that quarterback Cam Newton operated to perfection two seasons ago.”
Chiz left the spread to go with the pro style and went 3-9.
The spread is the only offense that can beat Nick Saban.

Georgia’s offense can beat Nick Saban. It scored 28 points on him. Their run defense let ‘em down. And yet their offense still almost pulled it out.

Enough with the Auburn hate. The NCAA looked under every rock for the last two years. Nothing. They are certainly not going to give Auburn any breaks, so why does everybody remain convinced that they know better than the NCAA. When did Alabama and Georgia become such virtuous institutions with no history of scandal of any kind? Bama had two current coaches fresh from the U of Miami who were complicit in the violations at that school. Did these guys become Eagle Scouts all of a sudden in Tuscaloosa? No way. Rodney Garner at UGA plays in the shadows, always has! Is he playing it straight now? Probably not. I amazed at the naive indignation that Auburn is the only school with over zealous boosters, recruits who don’t go to class, etc. PLEASE GET SOME PERSPECTIVE, blogger people!

I was at the “water cannon game”, the “five over times” game, the “UGA bites Baker” game and many others in Auburn and Athens. The fan bases have always been friendly, no matter the outcome. The snide comments on these AJC blogs are just obnoxious and without merit.

You know what I hate a about these blogs: anyone can say anything without any repercussions or saying who they are. For all the Jerks out there criticizing Richt and Bobo without revealing who you are, just email me at stpatrickjr@aol.com — I will not only tell you who I am, I will show you what it is like to be a true UGA fan and grad. I will meet you anywhere, anytime, anyplace. And I’m sure there are other UGA fans that will be there waiting for you too. You are just a bunch of cowardless, mama boys.

You must be kidding me! If this isn’t a grasp for the past, I don’t know what is. His offense only works if the right players come along. Players like Cam come every 10-15 years. If Auburn is happy with a winning record every 10-15 years, then you have your man!

@GlassHouse: What are you smoking? My family is full of Auburnites, and they were pulling for BAMA. When it comes right down to it, Georgia is still the big state to our east who sucks all the water out of the Hooch and looks down on us. The fan bases were not friendly in 2009 in Auburn.

One can only wonder why the blowhard above has been banned by others and put in timeout…..looks like he/she/it could just have a blog with themselves….probably similar to their love life.

Looks like the Badgers (former) coach wants to give it a ride in the SEC….better hold on tight Bret as the competition is going to be much stiffer than in the Little 12.

TexasDawg, no Auburn fan I know here in Atlanta- and there are over 18,000 of us – roots for Alabama unless its playing a non-SEC team. Your Auburnites need to have their head examined. What’s good for Bama is bad for Auburn, period. Bama doesn’t need any more fans anyway, since they have enough non-alumni fans to fill the Grand Canyon.

Who? . . . . But that is that is the same thing I asked when they hired Chizik. Could be a good omen . . . . or not.

So an Auburn fan roots for alabama when they play out of conference? wtf? Are you kidding me? When did this crap start happening? I hate Notre Dame but I hope they destroy alabama, why would I root for a conference rival to succeed? Some of you people are complete morons.
If I saw a UGA fan rooting for any other sec team I would slap that man, woman, or child in the mouth.

Petrino is not going to get a big time job for awhile. He is in timeout till he proves he got the message. He is radioactive. No U. president will touch him!

It will be interesting to see how good he really is as a head coach without a “Cam Caliber” quarterback. Stay tuned.

Perfect hire and we will be back in 2013. Malzahn has recruiting instincts and his no huddle offense will take our game to the 2010 levels where we can actually go out and win a frickin game. War Eagle.

AU better hope Gus doesn’t take the Johnson route at Tech. sign 24 mobil QB’s,RB’s and scat backs…….And 1 LB and 1 DB and 1DL……….They will announce Auburn loses again, 70 to 45.

The Spread works against moderate to low talent teams. Put it up against tough, fast defenses, they lose…..most of the time…….And please, how many teams have a Johnny Football before you make that comparison……none.

Bama sold their soul to Saban. Auburn did not. I give them credit for not hiring Petrino.
