What is your thought on the future of Gus Malzahn as head coach?

I just think it is time for a change. He had a couple of good years including his first with the magical run to the BCS title game, but his teams have just been stale. The four-loss seasons that come every year, no matter how much success — the Tigers lost four in 2017 and won the SEC West — have to stop and I am certain there is one guy in Lynchburg, Virginia that would be perfect for the job, but it is all about the buyout. I just do not see Auburn pulling the strings this year.
