Auburn’s Gus Malzahn and Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin refuse to make life easy on themselves – or fans of their teams. Every time they coach themselves off the hot seat – as Malzahn did by winning four games in a row earlier this season and Sumlin by winning five of six – they coach themselves right back on it.
Auburn’s stunning collapse on national TV at LSU on October 14 and the Aggies’ blowout home loss to Mississippi State last Saturday have both coaches under pressure again.
I am a graduate of Auburn – longer ago now than I’d care to admit.
