What went right, wrong for Auburn recruiting

Keith Niebuhr and Brandon Marcello discuss the finer points of the 2019 signing class at Auburn, and what it means for the future. Keith has his sleepers, stars and players he expects to make an immediate impact in spring practices. And what about Auburn's offensive line? The Tigers signed only three players in the 2019 class, but followed it up with a 2020 commitment just one day following National Signing Day. Will Auburn be OK with its depth in 2019 and beyond? The guys take a look at the numbers and discuss the Tigers' potential and the prospects.

It's Gus Malzahn's Show

Auburn has a new offensive coordinator, but let's not bury the lede. Gus Malzahn will, finally, call plays without interference starting with the Music City Bowl and continuing through at least the 2019 season. After several seasons of an offensive coordinator (Rhett Lashlee and then Chip Lindsey) calling the plays, and Malzahn later meddling with those play calls during games, the Auburn offense will again be all Malzahn. Simply put, it's one clear voice on the headsets instead of two. Why was that the case to begin with? We discuss that at length this week. "It's Gus Malzahn's Show" on the Auburn Undercover Roundtable this week as the guys discuss what this means for the future of the Auburn football program and whether we'll see any differences in the Music City Bowl against Purdue. Also, who is Kenny Dillingham, the new quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator? Well, we know who he isn't: the Tigers' play caller.  What did we make of that letter to Auburn fans penned by athletics director Allen Greene? Was he targeting the media with his comments on "rumors and speculation" affecting the "Auburn family" in a negative fashion? Was he pointing to the fans? Why make those comments? We discuss. We also look at the huge recruiting weekend before the early signing period, what to expect in the near future and what areas Auburn is still trying to shore up before Dec. 19 hits the recruiting calendar. Oh, and how about the hot start by Bruce Pearl and his pride of Tigers? The guys discuss Auburn's big three-game swing coming up and the trip to Birmingham to face UAB this week. Plus, what does the addition of Danjel Purifoy mean for the Tigers? We also get a few updates on the behind-the-scenes action of the coaching carousel across the country and the latest talk in the industry from publisher and industry insider Ronnie Sanders. The Auburn Undercover Roundtable is hosted by Auburn Undercover editor Brandon Marcello, along with guests Keith Niebuhr (recruiting analyst), Phillip Marshall (the dean of Auburn writers) and Sanders.  It's a supersized episode titled "It's Gus Malzahn's Show."

Gus Malzahn, the hamstrung coach

Gus Malzahn is looking for a new offensive coordinator, but in doing so he has to follow a few rules. He wants Hugh Freeze, yes, but at what cost? Is Auburn willing to pay for him? And, for that matter, is Auburn willing to give the former Ole Miss head coach a multi-year deal? The Auburn Undercover Roundtable is back to discuss the first domino to fall from the fallout of Malzahn agreeing to remain at Auburn, but with stipulations. Selling the school on a multi-year deal for an offensive coordinator appears to be a non-starter, and one Malzahn discovered this week will prove difficult to overcome in his search for a new staff member following the departure of OC Chip Lindsey to Kansas. Is it fair to Gus Malzahn? Is this his own making? The guys discuss the situation and why there is blame to go around on both sides in the search for an OC, and how many in the coaching industry know they will not have autonomy of the offense should they come to Auburn. But the ultimate puppeteers in this comedy of errors reside within the administration, which is doing everything in their power to assure their coach is hamstrung for the remainder of his career on the Plains. The program is already seeing the effects stemming from the compromise the parties reached last week, and the damage to the Auburn football program is just beginning. Can the course be corrected? The Roundtable discusses the craziness that is the relationship between Auburn and its head coach, along with a bad Tuesday for Auburn on the recruiting trail, a welcome piece of news on a linebacker and what the future holds for the program as the Tigers again search for a new starting quarterback. The Auburn Undercover Roundtable is hosted by insider Brandon Marcello and includes guests Phillip Marshall, the dean of Auburn sports writers; Keith Niebuhr, recruiting analyst; and Ronnie Sanders, industry insider and publisher of Auburn Undercover.

Making sense of the dysfunction between Gus Malzahn, Auburn

The saga continues between Gus Malzahn, Auburn president Steven Leath and board of trustees member Raymond Harbert. The administration has asked Malzahn to compromise on several items involving his contract and his salary pool for his assistants to remain Auburn’s head coach heading into 2019. Still, the president is acting as if it’s business as usual for the athletics department, even with the future of a six-year head coach of a major SEC program hanging in the balance because of his demands. Who is to blame for this ordeal? Why is it taking so long to hear a final resolution? Has anyone ever done such a thing at a major football program? We certainly haven’t seen it and the ongoing negotiations are not only unprecedented but downright befuddling for the Auburn Undercover Roundtable. Brandon Marcello, Phillip Marshall and Ronnie Sanders of Auburn Undercover sit down to dissect the crazy story of how Auburn tried to force Malzahn out of the job, only to find out he wanted to stay despite them handcuffing him for the foreseeable future. Will Malzahn accept the terms? He’s leaning that way but anything can happen. After all, this is Auburn.
