How high can Ole Miss turn up the heat on Gus Malzahn’s seat?

A few Knowns: Auburn travels to Oxford on Saturday for the Tigers and Rebs’ regular football contest. The game kicks off at 11 a.m. CT and will appear on ESPN and WatchESPN. One team will win and one team will lose.

An Unknown: The exact temperature of Gus Malzahn’s coaching seat in Auburn. That measurement is always a moving target, granted, but Malzahn’s current hot-eat temp seems rather high, at least from the outside looking in.

Which raises an interesting specter: could Ole Miss get Gus shit-canned on Saturday at the Vaught? That question necessarily must be answered with another question: how bad would the Tigers have to fail for Auburn brass to rip off their collective bow ties and say hell with it?
