This is a very informative article that was written right after Gus got fired at Auburn…I encourage everyone to read it. Does this sound familiar?
Malzahn would ping-pong from being the CEO he said he needed to be and the hands-on coach he said he really was. He'd give offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee playcalling duties only to later take them back. Then Lashlee left for UConn, and Malzahn hired Chip Lindsey and handed him the keys to the offense. And true to form, Malzahn would call that "a mistake" and take control once again when he hired Kenny Dillingham as Lindsey's replacement.
Even this past offseason, Malzahn couldn't help changing his mind once more as he hired his buddy and former Arkansas coach Chad Morris to run the offense, giving Morris playcalling duties, which he appeared to maintain throughout the season.

Gus Malzahn nearly won a national championship in just his 14th game at Auburn. The seven seasons that followed were defined by a frustrating and futile attempt to scale the same heights.
