AUBURN — Auburn is making a change after eight seasons, two SEC West titles, a conference title, and a trip to the BCS national championship game. Gus Malzahn, the football program's head coach, was sacked on Sunday, according to athletics director Allen Greene. Malzahn, who turned Arkansas State into a winning program and took over at Auburn in 2013, went 77-26 during his tenure. The Tigers went 55-15 under Joe Moorhead last season before losing their final three games by a total of 24 points. Malzahn will be replaced by former Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, according to several reports. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Malzahn was fired, and another reported his departure on Twitter. "After much thought and discussion with my family, we have decided to part ways," Malzahn said in a statement released by Auburn. "I would like to thank the Auburn community for all they have done for me and my family. This has been an incredible experience for our girls, and I'm so proud of them." In four years at Auburn, Malzahn won 77 games and led the team to a BCS title game appearance. He also transformed Arkansas State into a winner in the Sun Belt Conference. Before arriving in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in 2011, Malzahn was just 33-19 as a head coach.
