per Han:
In 2018, Gus Malzahn stepped up to speak at the Minority Coaches Association of Georgia’s conference and said he had a tough act to follow. He had to speak after P.J. Fleck.
Almost two years later, Malzahn sat side-by-side with Fleck as they held a joint press conference before they faced off in the New Year’s Day Outback Bowl. The two coaches bring entirely different styles to the game, but each had nothing but the best to say about the other.
“I've followed Coach Malzahn for a long time,” Fleck said. “He's one of those guys as a young who you want to be like, one of the brightest offensive minds in all of college football, and it's fun to watch how he evolves.”
Fleck described Auburn as one of the most historical programs in college football. They have a unique running game. Fleck said the Tigers are creative and come at you from different angles and formations. Watching the film, Fleck also noticed how fundamentally sound Auburn is.
“That's when you know a team is well-coached,” Fleck said. “We all know plays, we all have schemes, we all have that, but when you talk about a well-coached team, that's when you talk about the fundamentals, details, technique, playing for each other, and they all do that.”
