Auburn just added a year to Malzahn's contact, now through 2020. Guess they wanted to quiet the chatter?

First, gently caress Clay Travis, but I was wondering where Butch stands -- I assume the current level is will return but officially in danger next year but is it hot enough that any more losses this year could be the end? I know their schedule is so soft that another loss would necessarily be a bad one.

Look I think it'd be awesome and fun for him to coach a big-time program but If Coach O wants to become Head Coach O again maybe he should take an actual HC job at a smaller school again rather than trying to vulture his way into a top-tier program as a loving DL coach without proving himself over even the course of a single season.

I never really got NFL fans acting high and mighty about amateurism given that the NFL could end major college football tomorrow if they felt like paying for a minor league.

I don't know if I would file this under recruiting or coaching, but a recruit asked Hugh Freeze about the NCAA investigation and Freeze replied " when you’re that big and out there with faith in Christ," he’s like, "what do you expect? Jesus got nailed to the cross."

CBS reports Rhett Lashlee leaving Auburn for OC job at UConn. I got no idea what to think of this. There was talk he would be considered for their HC job, the AD came from Auburn.

This looks on paper like a Nussmier style "you're not 'fired' but you should probably find another job now" but that doesn't make a ton of sense given his relationship with Malzahn and the way the offense actually took off this season when he got playcalling authority. Could be the inverse of that -- Lashlee got tired of never getting a HC job cause nobody knows how he'll do outside of Gus's shadow. Maybe some personal poo poo went down, who knows.

Yeah if he wants to work this year he'd take Cal HC. Even if he would I can see some downsides -- possible clash of ideas, both he and the recruits know he won't be around next year and he hates recruiting anyway so you probably fall off there at least a little bit.

Chip Lindsey is a name getting tossed around, was a film guy at Auburn before going to Arizona State.

People on some Auburn sites are saying Mark Helfrich is in town. It's probably just rumors, but I would really like him as Auburn's OC.
Word is he's holding out for a HC job but the only major one open is Cal so I dunno?

Rhoads was a pretty solid DC for Auburn '08 even as the rest of the team collapsed around him, that should work out fine for Arkansas.

And just as I post that, they hire Chip Lindsey, which seems fine on its own, but that power struggle remains an ominous sign.

Right, I wouldn't want him making any decisions but if you look back to what Borges did with Jason Campbell, Cadillac and Ronnie Brown in 2004 that's maybe not the worst guy to have in a room bouncing ideas around for how to build an offense around a not super mobile QB like Jarrett Stidham.
