Coming from an auburn guy, you guys got a good one. Stand up guy. I hope he sees success at UCF and I’ll be rooting for y’all

Bama fan here! Gus is a great coach! I'm glad he landed at a good school! Good luck coach!!

I'm an Auburn fan and a Gus Malzahn fan. Go look at a few minutes of any press conference from his years at Auburn. Then notice the contrast between his attitude/demeanor from then to now. It is so good to see him happy, energized, and with a very obvious "pep in his step." I want him to absolutely dominate at UCF. Enjoy your ride on the Gus Bus, Knight Nation!

Great hire. Say what do you want, but Malzah is thrilled to be here and you can't hide that.

BAMA fan wishing Malzahn all the best. Glad we won’t have to play him every year. Didn’t deserve to be fired. Nobody beat Saban more than Malzahn.

As an Auburn fan, this is like watching an ex you broke up with, move on to a new relationship that makes them happier than when they were with you. And while the relationship was toxic, you wonder if it was the right move? A rejuvenated Gus is a dangerous Gus. You guys landed a great coach and person. I’ll be watching UCF from now on.

Congrats Gus Malzahn

Wish you the best Gus. I'm now a UCF watcher. Thanks for the years. War Eagle forever good sir.

Dang he truly sounds re-energized! War Eagle coach Malzahn and good luck at UCF!

Awesome Hire by UCF!! Congrats Coach very proud for you!!!!!

Alabama fan & major SEC fan. What an awesome coach y’all at UCF are getting. Love you Gus!!

Huge win for UCF! Highly respect Gus as a coach. He's a standup guy and will be great for the young men at UCF! Go Gators! 🐊🐊

I love coach Malzahn!!! He got UCF to 9-4 in his first season and beat the Florida Gators for the first time in UCF history! He and his staff and the entire team are going to bring UCF back to its highest levels like we've seen in the past! I hope they win the AAC conference for its last year in the conference before we go to the big boys in the Big 12! Go Knights! Charge On!!!

To the UCF fans(from an Auburn fan) When Gus said he has never been this excited. Let me tell you he is being 100% honest. I have never seen him this excited, ever. There is one thing I think kept Gus from taking the next step and I seen the Coach actually recognized that thing for the first time here. That thing is He never stepped back and re-evaluate the situation. When we needed Gus to make the right adjustments he wasn't able to step back and do so, but here he recognized it for the first time. From what I see here is that you guys got a great Coach and will be successful. Good luck to you and best wishes from Auburn fans who will be watching.

Great hire, very excited for the upcoming season! Go Knights

UCF is an out to be the group of 5 powerhouse again they'll be even better than the 2 unbeaten years and they'll recruit great players

Auburn fan here. I think this is a great job for Gus. He was not getting it done at AU, but sometimes a change of scene can work wonders. Gus will run a clean program..recruit high character guys...and keep yall out of trouble. IF he gest transfer QBs, yall will be amazing. That and OLs. Those two things were his downfall. I am thankful for the good times he brought us and I wish Gus nothing but the best in the future. I will be pulling for him to succeed at UCF. He is a genuinely good guy. Met him a few times.

I am a ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE FAN. i think you got a great COACH! HE HAS BROUGHT MORE MISERY TO ME THEN ANY OTHER COACH WE PLAYED AGAINST SINCE HE CAME TO AUBURN. THEY WERE STUPID TO FIRE HIM. I HAVE NO DOUBT HE WILL BE THE BIG DOG IN THAT LEAGUE. good luck GUS AND ROLL. TIDE. ROLL.

Malzahn is gonna make UCF his last stop. You guys don't have to worry anymore about someone stealing your coach. He's there to stay. Just recruit big lineman and you guys will win a lot.

They’ve got a hell of a coach maybe one of the best ones and all the college football

Way to go Coach Malzahn from a fan from Arkansas. Im so glad for you.

Hasn’t set in yet how HUGE this is! ⚡️🔛

Man UCF has potential to be scary good under Gus for the future. Wouldn't surprise me if he dominates in the AAC.

10 win's a season with this hire. UCF got lucky af, i never thought he would go this rout, he will retire at UCF

Guss is a great hire from an auburn man. We love guss and a lot of auburn fans wanted to keep guss and kristy as both weren’t just coach and wife but leaders in the auburn community off the field. Good luck UCF and good luck Guss.

What a Win Win for UCF. ...getting such a high Caliber SEC Coach!! There will be alot of wins and what a brighter future for UCF Congrats UCF Administration and fans!

As a Auburn fan I love Gus! UCF you got a great coach! Congrats!

This is a great hire. Hes ready to have our boys winning. Heupel wanted STATS. Gus wants championships. I like his focus on defense and its promising that he says he wants to schedule top non conference opponents. Any UCF fan should be excited. Lebby was a question mark, Heupel was trash, Gus wants to be here.

UCF got quite the bargain. Roll Tide!

Good Luck Coach!!! I’m pulling for you!!!!

Schedule a UCF vs. Tennessee game!

Congrats Coach Malzahn! We will miss you at Auburn. Best wishes for your future.

Go gettem Gus. #ChargeOn

Great to have Gus in Central Florida. A great coach for an exciting community.

Good hire. Good land for Malzahn. 2 things you can bet on, He will win games and have great practices....

Auburn fan here, you’re getting a great coach, great man, and leader... it was time for him to leave Auburn... just got to stagnate, but he looks more motivated than we’ve seen in years. Also Clemson University is the 2017 National Champions sorry.

Such a great man. Go Knights!!!!!!

Sometimes it's about timing. It's about finding the right guy at the right time. I think he will be a very good fit

First play of 2021. Run up the middle for a 1 yard gain.

The Gus Bus rolls into UCF ! War knights ! LOL it's gonna be hilarious 😂😆

I’ve never seen him more relaxed. It was time for a change at Auburn, but I’m pulling for him.

Congrats to Gus, great guy, he should do well there

Great hire but damn he really went from auburn to G5 but I wish the best to him and UCF

I’m a Alabama football fan I would love to play them in a playoff game

It will be interesting to see what Gus does with all those offensive weapons...

I cant help, but to feel TN shot themselves in the foot. Maybe Gus wasn't interested, but Gus wouldve have been such a good hire for TN. Instead, they opened up the job he wanted most. Josh Heupel maybe up being great. But Gus's experience could have stabilized the TN program and put it in a position to attract better coaches after his retirement.

y'all got a great coach. good man. he got screwed by the money men at Auburn.

Yes, I realize a lot of The American was formerly CUSA at one point BUT it was funny to hear him say I've coached in this league back in 2007 and 2008. It didn't play its first game until 2013. 🤣

Welcome to Orlando Gus and family

Great hire!! Can’t wait til fall

He seems like a completely different coach not wearing the blue and orange.

This radio dude is $$. What a voice

This is an incredible hire. Malzahn never deserved all the flack he got

I live in Tallahassee but I call Orlando home

The past few months have shown that Auburn is complete mess way above Malzahn. This is a great hire.

Hey Guz, wish you could've been this optimistic for the last few years at Auburn.....seemed like you were suffering from that "stick" thing. But I wish you luck and good fortune, except when you play Auburn....WDE

Wonder what flavor condom he picked out for ucf .what a contract !another 90 percent buyout clause and at least he has a few miracle wins against the tide to stand on .i give him 4 years he will turn that program around .

Yall just hired a great great man. If they let him do his job without meddling he will dominate there

After the navy game I now know where auburn fans are coming from. Gus may be able to beat the best of the best but his ability to get to that game is almost impossible.

Hello

Gus please schedule Auburn to a home and home I’d love to play you and your 4 plays

Congratulation coach Malzahn play your game open up your playbook make sure you keep a mobile quarterback I'm sorry I know Bo could not run your offense

hey

Gus was embarrassed by Auburn and Jay Jacobs IMO. He never had full control of the program. His playcalling was led by what people wanted out of him. Gus is still a young head coach. He learned. In Florida with better recruits I think he will win as long as he’s there. He can now coach.

if you cant beat em, join em !

good man stubborn out of date coach

I promise I am not trying to be negative or insulting with the following question. I really am curious. How could UCF possibly be in a national championship or any major bowl games with their schedule? I checked their schedule. They play maybe two or three half-way decent teams. The rest are glorified High School teams, so I don't understand how UCF can make it too any thing big, even if they go undefeated, because it's against a bunch of shit teams.

If he has full control hes gonna do great.. down in auburn you got people with a shit load of money who think they are fuckin football experts pulling all the strings. I'm glad he found a great school to go to. Auburn will have the same issues they might as well put the boosters down on the sidelines and coach thats how pathetic it is down in auburn

Did he have mouth surgery? Never knew him to have a speech impediment.

Best coach in the state of Florida. What are you smoking man.. Schedule the Gators for a 2 for 1 and we'll see about that. Your program ain't big enough for a home and home game.

Calls us UFC

Schedule Auburn. We’ll beat you and get peach bowl revenge

Hope Auburn doesn’t play UCF in a bowl game

I believe he wanted to get fired... 2nd if he don't learn how to attack defense weaknesses, have a game plan, develop, stop playing his favorites instead of playing the best he gon continue to be Gus. I wish him the best but he got to get out his selfish ways.

Good luck but expect 4 plays terrible QB play and no development

Makes me laugh knowing he is taking over a program that beat his team just a few yrs ago. Not laughing at him or this hire; I just find it funny.

UFC LOL

Since he doesn't have to play LSU, Bama , Georgia every year he will dominate

UCF will love the high school offense schemes!

Watching Gus chew Gus is so gross! 🤮🤮🤮

Arburn is super stupid for this one gus will make them pay. bama man sayings go knights!!!

1. First coach move....pulls up his pants. Power move. 2. Why UCF for me? Because it is “UFC” 3. “Put together a great staff”. He didn’t mention Steele. LOL 4. He touted “experience” as if he were interviewing still. 5. I love how he revisited his losses to UCF. 6. “Waddnt no”....other folksy phrases. Orlando is a northern city. We will see how long Gus’s good ol boy persona will last. 7. “I told Terry”. Like Wu told me? Good grief. 8. Excuses about Auburn’s offense. The first swerve of the Bus 10 minutes into his intro presser. 9. “Calling plays is what got me here.” That fired EVERYONE up. Right? Right? 10. In all truth, Gus has a good rep for liking his players. I won’t troll on that. 11. Waffle House and gum. Good humor. 12. Alignment. That whole answer sounded like W. Bush. 13. Qb coach? Clueless. This is THE black hole of Gus Malzahn. If relationships make great players he mustn’t even know his WB names 14. I believe Gus was being honest about lack of serious discussion with other schools. 15. “Consistency-that’s what I’m here for.” That is not what you want to think about UCF fans. He has been consistently faltering for years. 16. Artful dodge on 2017. 17. His priorities on defense should be encouraging. Gus managed to have good defenses. 18. Home and home.... IDC. Smart answer 19. Brandon Marcello is an Auburn beat reporter and his question about what it will take to get to the top was asked while laughing up his sleeve 20. The mythical self awarded NC claim is uniquely stupid. The gotcha question was first class idiotic. 21. Question of the day by Andy Staples on Gus reflection and offensive development. That was not a good answer by Gus

Good move by UCF, wishing Gus the best with his new coaching job.

After the navy game I now know where auburn fans are coming from. Gus may be able to beat the best of the best but his ability to get to that game is almost impossible.
