Auburn football made a landmark decision on Sunday afternoon to let go of head coach Gus Malzahn. In the aftermath of his departure, Tigers fans react.

Everything seemed fine for Auburn football on Saturday night. The Tigers had handled Mississippi State 24-10, covering the spread and seemingly setting the stage for a potential redemption game this bowl season for Gus Malzahn and his squad.
