But he never threw the ball downfield.
He had some interesting and impressive wins, but Auburn is not a talent poor team and never will be.
Bo Nix is a great QB IMO.
I agree. His Auburn offense was boring and painfully bad sometimes.
I'll be the first to say 'it's complicated. The coach that can rack up points in the SEC will either get paid or join the NFL and not stick around long. this isn't an easy task.
Auburn has loads of talent, great facilities, and a strong fanbase. They felt like Steele did an admirable job on defense, but that they were overpaying for Malzahn and not seeing results.
Auburn now has some of the same problems we had back in the Steele era, they were reaching out to candidates and saying, "We'll offer you a position, but you have to keep this coach, that coach, etc, etc."
Every candidate that heard that hung up the phone. By the time they'd exercised all their options, they accepted a sort of ok candidate and let him have the decision authority.
But Malzahn had been given plenty of time and resources to win and never was very consistent.
