Auburn Tigers Spread Offense (2010) - Gus Malzahn

Gus Malzahn is an American football coach who is the current head coach at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He was previously the head coach at Auburn University from 2013 to 2020.

Malzahn is known for his innovative offensive schemes, which are typically based on the spread offense. He has also been praised for his ability to develop quarterbacks.

Malzahn began his coaching career as a high school coach in his home state of Arkansas. He led seven teams to the state championship game and won three titles. In 2013, he was inducted into the Arkansas High School Sports Hall of Fame.

The 2010 Auburn Tigers football team was one of the most successful teams in school history. The team finished the season with a perfect 14–0 record and won the national championship.

The Tigers were led by quarterback Cam Newton, who won the Heisman Trophy as the nation's best player. Newton was a dynamic dual-threat quarterback who could both pass and run the ball effectively.

Gus Malzahn is known for his innovative spread offense, which is a type of offense that spreads the defense out by using multiple wide receivers and tight ends. The goal of the spread offense is to create mismatches for the defense and to make it difficult for the defense to cover all of the potential receivers.

Malzahn's spread offense is characterized by its use of up-tempo and no-huddle play. This means that the offense snaps the ball quickly and does not huddle between plays. This helps to keep the defense off balance and prevents them from substituting players.

Malzahn's spread offense also makes use of a variety of running plays, including the zone read and the option. These plays are designed to give the quarterback the option to either hand the ball off to the running back or keep the ball and run himself. This makes it difficult for the defense to stop the run and forces them to defend against both the run and the pass.
