This $$$ Auburn throws at coaches in raises and then buyouts reminds me of the Cold War where the US outspent Russia to the point of them facing bankruptcy. How much longer can they keep on keeping up with the Joneses?

It would cost the Tigers about $9 million to fire Malzahn after this season, but Auburn has shown in the past it's willing to part with coaches with excessive buyouts.

"One thing that hit me pretty hard is that I've got to be more active with the daily X's and O's and coaching that goes with that," Malzahn said. "And that's what I look at as my strength. ... I'm looking forward to getting back in the middle of things and enjoying the actual coaching on the field."

I really enjoyed the conversation between Saban and the pot-stirrer, Finebaum.

I like the fact that Finebaum was willing to say to Saban's face what he has been saying on his show for the last month. I don't agree with Finebaum, but at least he manned up and said those same things to Saban when he had the chance. And he dropped it when Saban made it clear that he wasn't willing to discuss it further.

I can respect that though. A lot of these media types chum up whenever the guy they grill for days/weeks/months/years is in front of them. Finebaum had some opinions on the matter and was willing to engage when the big man was face to face.


And I thought that this was sorta planned so Saban could make the case on his terms in a controlled environment (small roundtable), but I'm not so sure now...he was pretty peeved off camera.
