We all know him. We all love him - that is as long as you are an Auburn Tiger. Head Coach Gus Malzahn arrived on the Plains for the 2013 football season and turned our team around in ways we never thought possible. He is an icon at Auburn University--fans and students alike seek him out on a daily basis. We know he loves his Auburn vests and celebrates victories at the Waffle House with a steak omelette. But through the victories and losses, Malzahn stays confident in his team. No other person has as much faith in their team as Malzahn does for the Tigers, and these quotes are all the proof anyone should need.

1. After the 2013 Iron Bowl win:

"You know the way we won the last two weeks is really unbelievable. Our guys believed and they weathered the storm."

2. On the 2014 football season:

"Our goal is to win the SEC, and we didn't get that done. But the way our guys handled themselves and the leadership, that's what I'll remember."

3. After the 2013 season:

"We knew this season would be remembered one way or the other. It's been a dream the whole way, and what a better way to cap it."

4. "We have high expectations at Auburn. It's a process. We're going to be as good we can possibly be."

5. From Auburn Bowl Media Day:

"Auburn is blue collar, hard-nosed, physically and mentally tough. That is who we are and that is how we win football games here. That is how they have done it for a long time. That is the one thing we realized that we have to get back. That is what we focused on."

6. After the 2013 Auburn v. UGA game:

"I believe if you work hard and you have a team that is completely 100 percent together and all the coaches, everybody is on-board then you have a chance to do something special."

7. "I totally believe God has blessed me with a unique ability to know offense, to call offense. I'm truly excited to be here. I can't wait to get started."

8. After the 2014 football season, commenting on the upcoming 2015 season:

"Our goal, next year, will be to win the SEC. That's the way it'll be every year. The future is bright. We feel really bad right now. But the future is very bright."

9. At a press conference after the 2013 Auburn v. UGA game:

"This is definitely a Waffle House night."

10. "We have to give 110% in every aspect of everything we do all the time. That's how you do it. That's how you win."

Gus Malzahn has a heart for this team and wants them to be all that they can. I know Auburn is looking forward to the 2015 football season and the work Malzahn has put into the team. With all his drive and determination, who wouldn't want to join the Gus Bus?
