currently the tigers are running the option because A.) their qb is a converted DB from UGA and B.) that's the formation they have the personnel to run. Gus has gone on the record saying they're running this offense because that's the players he has to work with. He hasn't had enough time to recruit his dudes yet.

 

Nick Marshall, the Auburn QB who used to be a DB at UGA, was recruited out of JUCO by Gus to come play QB for him.

 

So it wasn't some coincidence that the Auburn offense is currently set up the way it is, it was planned that way by Malzahn.

 

Nick Marshall *IS* Malzahn's "dude".

have you even watched auburn play this year?

 

Laugh out loud when people who don't know poo about it call Malzahn's offense a "gimmick" offense.

 

Malzahn's offense is more old-school than anything being run at the college and NFL level these days.  Its at its heart the single-wing/Wing-T with a more developed passing game and route tree.

Saying that Malzahn's offense is a "gimmick" offense is akin to saying the football that the guys who didn't use facemasks used to play was just a buncha "gimmicks".  :lol:

I love Cam Newton.

I love Gus Malzahn.

 

I just don't think the Gus Bus is an NFL kind of guy.  Auburn would probably be willing to match up to $5 million per year as well, so JR had better be prepared to open his wallet.

 

Can you elaborate on the not an NFL guy comment? I don't really watch a lot of Auburn games so I don't know what this means. What seperates him from Chip, Harbaugh, Carroll etc who made a successful leap into NFL from college?

You're an auburn fan so I'm preaching to the choir but lets be real about Nick Marshall: he's nothing special. It's going to take another year or two for him to get all his guys in there and find a QB he likes. 

 

The only person who can completely overhaul a program in a night coaches at the other school in alabama.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
