Auburn can't outbid the money at Texas if they want him.

I'm calling it now. Malzahn to Texas as OC.
- Thread starter Requiem For A Dawg
- Start date
I don't see why they can't steal another coordinator from Auburn. They will show him the money if they really want him.
He needs to strike while the iron is hot. His stock will go down after next year if the stays on the plains. They would have 5 losses without Cam this year. You cannot just replace him.
Why leave Auburn to go to another school. What if his offense doesn't work at Texas with their personnel.
I think he will get a head coach offer this year, just might not be the one he wants.

Iowa State
In November 2006, Chizik was hired to replace outgoing coach Dan McCarney as head football coach of Iowa State University. McCarney resigned after going 4–8 in his final season, despite 5 bowl appearances during his tenure, the most of any Iowa State coach. Chizik's contract with ISU was a six-year deal worth a guaranteed $6.75 million. With incentives, the total had the potential to be more than $10 million.[10] In Chizik's first season, Iowa State finished 3-9, including a 15-13 upset victory over Iowa, and back-to-back wins against Kansas State and Colorado. The Cyclones also experienced a notable improvement on defense. In the year prior to Chizik's arrival, Iowa State was ranked 102nd nationally in total defense[11] and in Chizik's first year, they improved to 65th.[12]
In 2008, Iowa State won their first two games against South Dakota State and Kent State before losing their final 10 games to finish the season 2–10. Among all 119 Division I FBS teams, the team ranked 111th in total defense, 115th in passing defense, and 95th in rushing defense.[13] Following the season, Chizik fired two assistant coaches and demoted both his offensive and defensive coordinators. Chizik's name came up frequently as a coach who would be on the hot seat for the following season, though all acknowledged the difficulty of the job given the lack of resources and difficult schedule.[14][15][16]

Malzahn really is. He was good at Tulsa, I'll give him that, but that's against C-USA defenses. He started off hot last year, but was figured out towards the end. And then this year he has Cam, and I think I could coach an offense with Cam at the helm.
It might be very wise for him to jump now, while his stock is at its highest.

that could be looked at as a good sign he is worried about the *** pounding the NCAA might be planning to put on Auburn.</p>
First they took Chizik, then they took Muschamp. Texas can recruit the guys needed to run Malzahns offense, and I'm sure can pay more than Auburn can. He's never going to get another Cam Newton, so going to Texas and reeling in Top 5 recruiting classes every year would be something that might appeal to him. Auburn loses a ton next year, and that may factor into his decision since he is a hot commodity right now. Leave now and take a pay raise and go to Texas, or risk having a bad year next year and take the HC job at a crap school a few years down the road. If he goes to Texas and waits 2 years, he could get a pretty decent HC job.
