Gus Malzahn, who agreed Sunday to a new seven-year, $49 million deal to stay at Auburn, said the Tigers' best days are ahead of them.
"I'm very appreciative of President (Steven) Leath and the Auburn administration for their belief in me and their commitment to our future," Malzahn told ESPN. "I said before the season that the next three or four seasons are fixing to be our best, and I believe that more today than ever. We're on solid foundation and have a chance to do some special things."
Malzahn was wooed in the last few days by Arkansas, which was also prepared to make Malzahn a lucrative offer.
