Aubrun Beats the Spread (like a dead horse)

Auburn is bringing in Gus Malzahn to coordinate the offense under Gene Chizik. Are they really better off with this than they were with the Tubs/Franklin combo? If you keep Franklin and let him run his system the way it supposed to be run with the people he needs, it would have worked. Then you go through a shitty season (check), but you have some stability and something to build on (big fat NOPE) with a solid head coach.

Now, let's say all the Tubs family drama/distraction is true and he still "leaves." You'd still have Franklin to build the O and his biggest obstacle all season (head coach relations) is gone. That's a good thing. You bring in a solid head coach (No, not Chizik), still have an offense that's building and probably don't lose Rhoads. Stability is a good thing.

This isn't to say Franklin's better than Malzahn offesively; it's just to say that nothing has really made sense out on the plains (which are not actually plains, btw) all season. Plus, do you trust Malzahn not pull something douchey here? Or at least butt heads philosophically with Chizik?

And, isn't that argument over approach how we ended up in this huge fucking mess anyway?

I'm not saying it won't work. If I was an Auburn fan, I'd be happy about this. It's just funny to see where we end up sometimes and how we got there.
