She also went on to trash legendary head coach Lou Holtz and the way he talks. Gus was way impressed. Her comments on Heisman winner Cam Newton were extremely disturbing and she also mentioned that head coach Gene Chizik didn't want him to begin with. She didn't stop there either, as she went on to talk about college football players in general and their lack of knowledge according to her.
It goes to a place of questioning his integrity and his character and his intelligence because a group of to year-olds did not perform on the field like they should have. I'm not saying that this is the reason the former Auburn offensive coordinator is now stuck at Arkansas State. But this is a guy who had universities lined up out the door, and they all slowly hired somebody else.
People close to Malzahn say he believes one factor played a role in each of those schools going in a different direction: the Kristi Malzahn video.
In a videotaped question-and-answer session with Floyd, she made some controversial comments on various subjects. On now-suspended running back Mike Dyer : "He has a little bit of an attitude. He carries himself with a little confidence we have to kick around every now and then. But he's a great kid. On former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton : "He is cute. Pretty boy. I love him, but don't tell Gus. On college athletes: "If you've worked with to year-old individuals, most of the time they're not the most intelligent people out there anyway.
There's nothing defamatory, and she's clearly trying to be funny in her comments on Newton, but those aren't the kind of remarks you usually hear from a coach's wife. Especially when her husband wants to impress schools in search of a head coach.
A video of the session edited for maximum embarrassment hit YouTube weeks ago, just as the coaching carousel started to spin. That video since has been removed from most websites that featured it because of copyright claims from Cross Church, but it appears the damage may have been done.
Sports agent John Phillips of the Breakthrough Sports Agency acknowledged Wednesday night that he put together the edited version that appeared on YouTube.
Phillips earned his undergraduate and law degrees at Alabama. Malzahn's interview speaks for itself. It's bananas. I am not in the business of making enemies out of coaches and meant no ill will.
My dad went to Auburn. If the video bothered decision-makers at North Carolina and Kansas, why didn't it deter Arkansas State? Yes, I know we need to win. When recruits and their families visited Auburn, they got to know the Malzahns and saw how the two, with their seemingly opposite personalities, complemented each other. She loves your kids. She wants them to do their best. She loves her husband. Tonia Britt, former Auburn linebacker K. The players also realized quickly that Kristi would always be real with them.
While others try to convince you how great you are and how much they need you, Kristi told him they wanted him, but they planned to win with or without him. I liked that energy. If a mom needs her, they know how to reach her. Once players committed, Kristi tried to prepare the moms for what to expect. While players were at Auburn, Kristi was keeping an eye out for them.
