And after earning that Sugar Bowl berth- in the same article that lists us as a team on the rise for 2017- it also lists Auburn. Auburn will be one of the 3 best teams in the SEC next year. Auburn fans are insane because they have to deal with Bama. Malzahn isnt going anywhere
Gene Chizik actually won a natty (1st in the country) and he was a terrible coach. Mark Helfrich duplicated Malzahn's accomplishment, also a terrible head coach. Anyone can have a one year wonder type season where everything goes right. From a sustainablity standpoint, Malzahn has been trending down. Nobody gives a damn about him making the Sugar Bowl because it is a diluted accomplishment compared to what it used to be when you can get there at 8-4 (how many times has Mullen been 8-4 or better?).

Auburn fans aren't all crazy. They are pissed because they have averaged less than 8 wins per season over the last 3 years, which is equivalent to averaging 5-6 wins per year at MSU.
