Is this a non-denial denial?

Within minutes of the announcement that 16-year Texas head coach Mack Brown was resigning on Sunday, ESPN commentators were promoting Auburn’s Gus Malzahn as a potential replacement.

More than a week after Malzahn signed a letter of agreement on a new restructured $26.85 million, six-year contract extension the night before the SEC Championship Game, Malzahn was once again a leading candidate be the next head coach at the University of Texas.

Malzahn attempted to debunk any perception he was interested at other jobs Monday afternoon.

“I’m a good fit for the Auburn Tigers, that’s why I signed the contract the day before the SEC Championship,” he said. “Like I said before, I’m tickled to death to be here.”

He's avoiding the "Saban style denial." Probably wise.

imagine the resources at UT!!!!!! He will go nowhere

That's exactly what it is. One way to know if someone is lying is to look at whether or not they answered the question or talked around it without really answering it. Malzahn never answered the question.

The code words: In a Pine Box

Then it will be done.

That is most definitely a non-denial which is another word for an invitation for an offer.

Not trying to be a dick, but I didn't see where a question was asked. Guessing a reporter straight asked him at a press conference?

Until they sign a coach everyone is possibility, even the Great Satan at Bama. I don't care what he said. He has lied before and until he doesn't go or UT signs someone else everyone is a possibility. Texas has the money and will spend whatever it takes to get who they want. I don’t care if the Big 12 is not what it used to be, Texas is Texas and with the new playoff system, I think it will be easier to get into the four game plays off. Just win your games and you don’t have to worry about winning a conference championship game.<o></o>
