Nailed it...I don't think that's needed. His buyout is something like $32 million, and while the big money boosters want to win as badly as anyone, they're not dropping that kind of cash to get him out of there. Zero chance. I mean, if one of them donated $10 million to AU they'd literally name a building after him, if not an entire college.
People always act like the wealthy will sling money around like it grows on trees. In my experience, the reason the super wealthy have that much money is precisely the opposite - they spend when necessary, but they don't let emotion drive their spending habits.
I'd be beyond shocked if Auburn moved on this year - they made a catastrophic (or spectacular, depending on perspective) emotional move at the end of last year - one they likely cannot afford to back out of. In fact, I think they're stuck with Malzahn for at least three more years...

I hope so...There are two big issues.... 1) Yella Fella and Dye run Auburn and 2) from what I’ve been told they LOVE Gus.
If true, Harbert is an idiot. Pushing for a contract with a buyout like that is poor business...The story goes his willingness to offer up the buyout is what pushed Leath over the edge in giving Gus the new contract.
Tell AUDub not to worry, Gus said (for the 200th time) that they have to get better and they will get better.
More or less they already have. Think about it... the two best coaches they’ve had since Dye (Buster and Tubby) have been at odds with Dye publicly and had swift ‘firings’. Then take into account they’ve replaced them with unproven coaches that knew how to talk barn. Coincidence??? I think not.Will they bring back Pat Dye (ala Fulmer) to lead the program out of the valley?
I don't know. Let me think about thi$ que$tion for a few moment$. $till thinking.At this point why would a kid commit to au?
But..but.. they say Bama is the only school that does that, right up to controlling the SEC office because it’s in Birmingham, slam up to Mark Emmert.I don't know. Let me think about thi$ que$tion for a few moment$. $till thinking.
Yes the guys in B'ham got uT's inside LB thrown out of the game and 1st half of the Bama game because they thought Tua was injured. I seriously read that on a barn boardBut..but.. they say Bama is the only school that does that, right up to controlling the SEC office because it’s in Birmingham, slam up to Mark Emmert.

I read that as well! I also read a few posters stating “If it’s because Bama cheats, I want to cheat too!”Yes the guys in B'ham got uT's inside LB thrown out of the game and 1st half of the Bama game because they thought Tua was injured. I seriously read that on a barn board
$49M insight. :biggrin2:Gus says " they got to get better" ; that really should not be that hard ?
