    Honestly men are worse than women as a whole. I'm not saying superior in some way. I mean men are just as scheming and evil.

    Auburn doesn't exactly have a great throwing QB out there.

    I heard Alex Marvez last night talk about it. After the LSU loss, Auburn was averaging 27 pass attempts per game. Malzahn took stock, decided they were better suited as a power running team and adjusted. They averaged 16 pass attempts thereafter. Auburn proceeded to run over everyone, all the way to the title game.

    Case in point. On that very first drive, Malzahn mesmerized with the run, then called the perfect play, completely fooling the defense and getting an uncovered WR for a long TD. Except his QB short-armed it.

    Not to oversimplify things, but that missed TD, the missed FG and the kickoff cover guy getting injured.....that's 17 easy points right there.

    To each his own, but I personally enjoyed watching Auburn overcome the talent gap and almost pull it off. All told, FSU only threw for 20 more yards while being outrushed by 84.

    Malzahn coaches the way most coaches are either too egotistical or too afraid to.

    Most coaches have their system and run it hell or high water, because it's their system and they think it works. Philbin's system doesn't move receivers around so we're just going to plant Mike Wallace on one side for 90% of the season. They don;t care that there is a better way to use him.

    Malzahn is the opposite. His system is based only on speed. You can run plays fast whetehr they are run or pass and he takes whatever his team does best and does that, very quickly.

    No reason it can't work in the pros. And we should hire him immediately, but of course we won't. We'll give Ireland and Philbin another year to bring in their players who either won't play at all or we won't figure out what to do with them until about 10 weeks into the season.

    Malzahn's system is fun and all. But it's that ability and willingness to adjust, along with his keen eye/mind and ability to elevate, that is the true allure. He's like Chip Kelly, a true innovator and team builder. He did what he did with a team that went winless in the SEC last year.

    I'm with you. If he shows interest in the pros and we don't pursue, I'm going to be very upset. My hope is that Ross already put feelers out there and got his answer over the weekend. Because he only needed to wait one more day.

    And by forcing Philbin to fire his coaches, he's already painted himself into a corner. You don't persuade your head coach to fire their coaches -- much less friends and mentors -- only to fire the man a few days later. That's inhuman and a serious black mark against you. With this owner's history, Davie would essentially be radioactive to any coach worth his skin.

    So Malzahn had better not have NFL interest this season. My hope has been that he's available when we clean house after 2014.

    I really think you guys are over estimating the number of coaches who can adapt to their players. The guys that can do it successfully are rare, and not because of ego or unwillingness, but because its a gift that most don't have.

    His offense is very impressive. I was at the game last night and honestly feel like I thought the wrong guy had the ball every play.

    I don't know how the FSU defense did it but they did a damn good job against that attack.

    Not sure if a QB would survive a season running that offense in the NFL though.

    Nm. Don't feel like getting into it. Just do some research and read the actual investigation report before spouting off things like this.

    **** it. I want a new coach.

    I just heard Jeff Darlington talking about how other defenses DID...know when we were running and passing, and the GO GO...DID have an impact. As well as how John Jerry would look back. All season long.

    All season long...we never moved our recievers around. All season long...we didnt let Tannehill use his legs. All season long...we were bullheaded to think we could make it work with Martin at LT.

    To me...that falls on the head coach. That falls on a coach who is going to wait until a GM puts all of the pieces in place. Philbin may be a nice guy...but...not what I want in todays NFL.

    And for that matter...I dont want any coach, who is married to "their" system. I want coaches who can coach like Malzhan.

    I don't think you are correct to attribute Gus Malzahn as part of Todd Graham's coaching tree. The two were friends and that is why Malzahn went to Tulsa after things went so poorly at Arkansas.

    You are correct about the relationship between Nutt and Malzahn. They clashed a lot and to be honest, Nutt was intimidated by Malzahn.

    To that point, Malzahn was already a WILDLY successful high school coach. He'd coached at three different high schools at three different levels of high school ball, and he had brought his team to the championship game at each and every one of them. Multiple championship games, for most. He had some of the best offensive output in the history of American high school football. No lie.

    It was at the HIGH SCHOOL level that he developed the offensive and team principles that he still uses to this day. Had nothing to do with Todd Graham and it certainly had nothing to do with Houston Nutt, and it definitely had nothing to do with Gene Chizik.

    I think because you're an ASU fan you kind of want to see Malzahn as belonging to and being a testament to your coach's greatness. But the reality is Gus Malzahn had already made himself over the course of 15 years of coaching high school football. He came to the NCAA a pre-made package. That was actually part of the problem with Nutt.

    Malzahn came into Tulsa with Graham and developed their offensive system. Graham was a defensive guy. Unsurprisingly, immediately after Gus left Tulsa they went from 11-3 and setting offensive records, to 5-7 with a much worse offense. The two years Malzahn was there they scored 41 and 47 points per game. Malzahn left and they scored 29 points per game. To Graham's credit, they got back up to 41 points per game in 2010. But then again he was kind of a failed coach at Pittsburgh as he went 6-7 and scored 24 points per game during the one year there before defecting for Arizona State.

    I'm sure Todd Graham is a good coach. He's achieved good results at Arizona State. But to sit here and say that Malzahn was a "Todd Graham find" or under Gus Malzahn's coaching tree...is just wrong. Graham learned more from Malzahn than Malzahn did from Graham. Why do you think he sought Malzahn's advice on whether he should take the ASU job?

    He adapts the system to the players. If you track Gus Malzahn's college offenses from Arkansas to Tulsa to Auburn to Arkansas State and back to Auburn, you're going to see different approaches pretty much every year.

    You'll also see different approaches within the year, as outlined wonderfully by Muck. After the LSU loss he realized his quarterback's limitations and decided passing the football 27 times per game was just too much, especially when you've got Tre Mason at tailback. So from there he threw the ball 16 times per game and they plowed their way all the way to the BCS Championship Game.

    The opposite really happened when he had Cam Newton in 2010. As that season wore on, Malzahn started to flex Cam Newton's passing muscles more and more. This is something I know because Simon and I did a huge piece on why Newton is by far the best QB prospect in the Draft, and so I dissected literally every single game of Newton's and tracked the changes that were happening.

    When Auburn played crappy opponents like Louisiana-Monroe and UT-Chattanooga, Malzahn took the opportunity to keep Newton in the pocket and not running. This was a very keen strategy as it not only reduced the risk that your star quarterback was going to get hurt against some sh-tty opponent rather than against the Alabamas of the world, but it also provided valuable live game opportunities to help the passing game to spread its wings.

    That kind of strategy paid off when Newton had to throw the football 27 times per game to beat the likes of Alabama, South Carolina and Oregon.

    Whether it's 3 guys or 30, I long for us to be one of the teams who has one.

    I also believe it's a rare trait, and those guys elevate your franchise.

    It doesn't even have to be a playcalling wizard like Malzahn. I'd settle for a Shula. ;)

    CK talking about Tulsa made me realize that Charles Clay played his first two collegiate seasons under Malzahn at Tulsa.

    I have no idea if played a role in recruiting Clay. But Clay is such a 'Malzahn' type of player and he was used as such during those two seasons (and beyond).

    Yes, Charles Clay is definitely a Malzahn kind of weapon.
