The phone lines on Paul Finebaum’s radio program lit up Monday afternoon when the news hit that Auburn coach Gus Malzahn had been given an extension on the heels of a 7-6 season.
“More Alabama fans were excited by the extension than Auburn fans,” Finebaum deadpanned as he concluded his show. “That isn’t a good look.”
Finebaum went on to say that he doesn’t think Malzahn deserved the extension, even if it was only one additional year to take him through 2020.
Heck, even if it were a $1 raise, people would hear “extension” and perceive that Malzahn is being rewarded.
