Auburn football: Gus Malzahn verbally fumbles–and barely recovers

Auburn football at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2020.

Auburn football head coach Gus Malzahn did himself absolutely no favors whatsoever when he said that a 6-4 season would be a “solid year”. The War Eagle looks deeper into this likely Freudian slip.

We know what you meant, Gus. Even though the Auburn football coach attempted to correct course, it is clear by his initial statements that he is thinking about one person and one person only: Gus Malzahn.

Saying a 6-4 season is a “solid year” is an insult to these very players that just went 9-4 last season and ended up in a high profile bowl game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Outback Bowl.
