Breaking News: The CFP Director Praises the Former Auburn Football Coach after his Appointment to the Selection Committee

College Football Playoff executive director Rich Clark praised former Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn after his appointment to the selection committee.

In a report by Andrew Hughes, Clark spoke highly of Malzahn, who was recently added to the committee alongside Jeff Tedford and Louisiana AD Bryan Maggard. Clark emphasized that the trio brings valuable experience, fresh viewpoints, and a strong commitment to integrity and excellence as the CFP enters its 13th season.

Malzahn’s addition places him among respected football minds, and his presence could be a positive development for Auburn. Meanwhile, Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek remains the committee chair.

After stepping away from his role with Florida State earlier this year following a notable win over Alabama last season Malzahn has stayed visible, including an appearance at an Auburn basketball game. With renewed recognition and momentum, his latest role marks a strong stretch in his post-coaching career and reflects positively on his Auburn legacy.
