Just want to reiterate what I reported last week - Browns would love opportunity to hop on The Gus Bus and interview Auburn's Gus Malzahn

As the Auburn Tigers have gotten out to an early lead and look like the only reason they are not up by more is their own issues with execution, Jason LaCanfora mentioned that the Cleveland Browns are definitely interested in their head coach Gus Malzahn.
In a game where Florida State has a significant talent advantage, Auburn just seems to have the advantage with play calling and giving the defense fits on what to do. For those fans watching the All-22 tape on ESPN2, the coaches covering the game are showing just how lost the Seminoles seem to be on defense as well as how well Auburn is playing defense.
The question with Malzahn is what he wants to do. On the surface, he is an incredibly ambitious coach and he could potentially win a National Championship. He could be content to do that and keep doing it or he could be the type of guy who wants to prove it at the highest level and establish himself as one of the best coaches in history. And for all of the great coaches in history, the conversation always starts with NFL coaches there.
