  • Florida State OC Gus Malzahn retires after 35 years of coaching

    (Photo credit: Matt Pendleton-Imagn Images)

    Florida State offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn announced his retirement Monday after 35 years in coaching.

    The former Auburn, University of Central Florida and Arkansas State head coach spent just one season with the Seminoles in 2025.

    ‘After 35 years, it’s time for me to step away from coaching,’ Malzahn said in a statement. ‘I am excited to spend more time with my family and focus on the next chapter of my life. I want to thank Coach (Mike) Norvell for giving me the opportunity to coach at such a prestigious program.’

    Norvell promoted co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Tim Harris to replace Malzahn, 60.

    Florida State led the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing (218.7 yards per game) and total offense (472.1) in Malzahn’s lone season as the play-caller in Tallahassee.

    Malzahn compiled a 105-62 record as head coach at Arkansas State (2012), Auburn (2013-20) and UCF (2021-24), including a 3-7 record in bowl games.

    During his first season at Auburn in 2013, the Tigers lost 34-31 to Florida State in the BCS Championship game and finished 12-2. Malzahn was named the national and SEC Coach of the Year.

    Malzahn coached in the high school ranks from 1991-2005 before becoming the offensive coordinator at Arkansas in 2006. After two seasons as an assistant coach at Tulsa (2007-08), he joined Auburn as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2009-11. In 2010, Tigers quarterback Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy and Auburn completed a 14-0 season with a national championship.

  • Auburn star wide receiver reportedly entering transfer portal

    The Auburn Tigers are looking like they are going to have to hit the reset button as a program — another one of their players is reportedly entering the transfer portal.

    With the start of head coach Alex Golesh, the Tigers have seen numerous players declare their intentions to enter the transfer portal over the last few weeks.

    None of them have been anywhere near as significant as the news that broke on Monday. Star wide receiver Cam Coleman seems to be the latest player entering the portal, according to a report from On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

    Coleman — who has racked up over 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns over the last two seasons — will instantly become the top available player in the portal and will be sought after by every team in the country looking to add a wide receiver.

    The star wideout joins fellow soon-to-be former Tigers in the portal, including Malcolm Simmons, Horatio Fields, Jay Crawford, Robert Woodyard, Kayin Lee, Ashton Daniels and numerous others. It looks like what could be a painful rebuild for Auburn really begins now.

    Of course, Golesh will supplement from the portal himself. There’s a case to be made for not getting too broken up about gutting a roster that just went 5-7, but Tiger fans are rightfully upset to lose Coleman.

    Coleman’s moves in the transfer portal could end up breaking NIL records, and have now made him the most-followed recruit of the offseason.

  • WA officials, feds to discuss ‘crisis’ of missing, murdered Indigenous persons

    AUBURN, Wash. – In Washington state, Indigenous people make up about 3% of the population, but account for more than 7% of the missing persons lists maintained by Washington State Patrol (WSP).

    Local, state, federal, and tribal leaders said the rate of Indigenous people reported as missing or murdered is at a crisis level nationally.

    “Native Americans are Washingtonians, and their lives are at risk. And we as Washingtonians should be stepping forward to protect every one of us,” said State Rep. Debra Lekanoff of the 40th legislative district.

    By the numbers:

    Washington State Patrol said there are currently 110 Indigenous persons listed as missing in the state, which is likely an undercount as race profiles are often incomplete or mislabeled. 

    The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe is hosting the second National Missing & Murdered Indigenous People Coordinator Gathering, November 5–7. 60 leaders from 13 states will hold meetings in Auburn at Muckleshoot’s community center and resort. Those in attendance include members of government, law enforcement agencies, advocacy groups, tribal nations, and the courts.

    “Ultimately, we are responsible to our communities. And, the better we’re networked together, the better we have relationships at all different levels of government and cross-government,” said Samuel White, chief of police with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.

    The groups are collaborating on how to improve communication networks, response strategies, and family services when their tribal member is reported missing or murdered. They’re also reviewing current trends, challenges, and investigative practices in hopes of developing greater coordination in intervention, prevention, education, and advocacy to save more lives.

    What they’re saying:

    “We all come together collectively to create a response that we’re all doing. This way, we decrease and minimize these opportunities for these challenges and barriers of missing, murdered, any form of violence and victimization,” said Valaura Imus-Nahsonhoya, the MMIP Program Coordinator for the Arizona Governor’s Office on Tribal Relations. 

    Imus-Nahsonhoya helped launch the inaugural National Missing & Murdered Indigenous People Coordinator Gathering in 2024, hosted in Arizona. She said the goal is to continue these discussions regularly throughout the country in hopes of sharing and expanding life-saving resources.

    Imus-Nahsonhoya said she has dedicated at least 20 years to this work. 

    “Our families and survivors telling me what went wrong in their cases, who didn’t respond, who responded, what services were provided to them, and what services they did not know about. So, it’s their voice that guides me,” said Imus-Nahsonhoya.

    For her, she has a deeper personal connection to this effort.

    “I do this work, honestly, because of my brother, who was also murdered. I do this work because of my niece, my nephews, his children, who are continuing to grieve with no answer,” Imus-Nahsonhoya.

    In Washington state, the crisis continues gaining the attention and resources it deserves. 

    Big picture view:

    “Washington state knew there was a crisis with missing and murdered Indigenous people. I think we just needed the right people at the table beginning to develop policies, regulations, and investing in Washington state to bring this crisis forward,” said Lekanoff, who helped launch the state’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People (MMIWP) Task Force.

    In 2018, the state passed legislation creating two tribal liaison positions in the Washington State Patrol. In 2019, WSP began keeping a list of Missing Indigenous Persons. Troopers explained the list is updated every two weeks and distributed to statewide  law enforcement. 

    White said he has noticed improvements in the partnerships with local, state, and federal law enforcement. He said he’d like to see continued education opportunities within the community and law enforcement.

    “The end result is we’re having better cases, earlier reported cases, families are getting the services they need, and able to help out in a way that they can, help and understand where the case is at, and have that trust that law enforcement is doing the job that it’s there to do,” said White.

    Washington also led the nation with the launch of the Missing Indigenous Person Alert (MIPA) system in 2022. Since its inception, WSP said 194 alerts have gone out to the public, with several of those alerts leading directly to information that assisted in recovery or resolution of the case.

    The other side:

    For White, he said the systems and services worked for his family.

    “It’s my cousin. My second cousin. Her daughter went missing,” said White. “It was great satisfaction to be able to bring her home. It was because we were able to put the family in touch with people that could help and with social media, with the media on TV, with the FBI going out and checking surveillance cameras when we had sightings. Knowing who to call when that happened, to be able to reach out to other state agencies and have them check certain houses. It was all the relationships that allowed that to happen. It worked. We had enough pressure out there that it worked, and I really felt like we’re getting something done here.”

    In 2023, the Washington Legislature created and funded the MMIWP Cold Case Investigations Unit (MMIWP CCU) within the Attorney General’s Office. The state patrol said the CCU team was created to review and attempt to solve missing person and cold homicide cases involving persons of Indigenous ancestry. 

    WSP said, currently, the unit has 25 active investigations related to unsolved murders and suspicious missing person cases. WSP said the CCU has assisted in locating more than 20 missing Indigenous persons.

    “We have saved lives, we have brought families together, we have saved a community from suffering the loss of generations of women. I have had the pleasure of welcoming home members who we thought we have lost,” said Lekanoff.

    Though the collaborative efforts have proven successful, leaders and representatives said they want to see continued expansion of services to better protect their people.

    “Trying to bridge those gaps between community and the trust in law enforcement, trying to bridge that so that we have successful outcomes in cases and can bring answers to families in a way that they trust law enforcement in the long term,” said White.

    “Every Washingtonian deserves to feel like they are living in a safe place where their life matters,” said Lekanoff.

  • Report: Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams will make more than $1.8 million this season – Yellowhammer News

    The era of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) in college football has produced some absolutely wild amounts of money being thrown around by college football programs, and the two main schools in the state of Alabama are certainly no exceptions.

    As two of the wealthiest programs in the nation, both Alabama and Auburn have been known to bid giant sums of money for players.

    But there may be no greater example right now than Crimson Tide star wide receiver Ryan Williams.

    According to a new report from On3, Williams is set to make more than $1.8 million this season, making him the second-highest paid wide receiver in college football behind only Ohio State Buckeyes superstar Jeremiah Smith.

    Williams missed last weekend’s game with a concussion he suffered against Florida State during what was an ugly first game for his second season, however he will look to get back on the field this week and prove why he’s as much of a household name as he is/

    In the same report, fellow Auburn sophomore pass catcher Cam Coleman is also making more than $1 million to score touchdowns on The Plains.

    The Phenix City native has not had a touchdown yet this year, but his eight catches and 100 yards through two games with one of them being an extremely run-heavy game plan against Baylor is a nice start.

    With players making more than they ever have right now, the spotlight on them is as big as it has ever been. Whether or not Williams and Coleman are up to the task remains to be seen, but either way, both stars have cashed in.

    Stockard had won the prestigious national pageant last year and has served the past year as Miss America 2025.

    Her reign ended Sunday night as she handed her title, her crown and her duties to her successor.

    Earlier in the night, 11 semifinalists were announced before moving through fitness, talent, evening gown and interview phases.

    The semifinalist states were Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama and Illinois.

    Talent highlights included:

    • Miss Tennessee, Zoe Scheiderich — ballet.

    • Miss Florida, Paris Richardson — acrobatic/jazz dance.
    • Miss Alabama, Emma Terry — ballet en pointe.
    • Miss Illinois, Nitsaniyah Fitch — soulful ballad.

    Donegan, Arkansas’ Kennedy Holland, and Utah’s Jordyn Bristol were among preliminary talent award winners this week before finals.

    Miss Alabama Emma Terry also won two service awards. She was the regional leader for the leadership award. She won a new Quality of Life Award.

    15 former Miss America winners were there and were recognized for a walk across the stage. One was from Alabama, Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995. She was the first and only deaf Miss America.

    It was announced that the Miss America organization awards $35 million a year in scholarships across the nation.

    A special announcement was made during the Sunday pageant that each contestant who did not make the top 11 would each receive a $3,000 scholarship.

  • Auburn wide receiver on run-heavy offense: ‘We try to be an efficient scoring machine’ – Yellowhammer News

    The Auburn Tigers earned what was the biggest win so far of the Hugh Freeze era during the first week of the season last Friday against the Baylor Bears, and they did with a running game that was absolutely dominant and a quarterback who proved to be a major threat with his legs.

    As Jackson Arnold ran his way into the end zone twice and the Tigers finished with over 300 yards on the ground as a team, it became apparent that this team’s bread and butter will be running the football.

    If there is one criticism though from the game, it’s the fact that Arnold did not find a ton of success through the air. In all fairness, he did not really have to and Auburn just kept on running the ball with success — clearly a sound strategy. Moving forward though when the schedule gets real and SEC opponents are on the slate, the offense will have to be a bit more balanced.

    It seems Tigers players are not phased though, and while addressing how effective the run game was on Friday night, Tigers wide receiver Horatio Fields emphasized that even if it’s not ending in catches for him and the group of receivers, this offense will do what it needs to do in order to win.

    “We try to be an efficient scoring machine. That’s on the ground. That’s in the air,” Fields said when asked if he was surprised at how well the ball was ran against Baylor. “So we just make sure that even with the running game, we block the perimeter just to make it easier so they can get to the second and third level.”

    Clearly, this is a group of wide receivers that just wants to win, whether that means them leading the way on offense or not. It’s a very green flag for a team under some serious pressure to perform offensively this year that they are led by a group of unselfish stars.

  • Northern California Craftsman Enjoys A Scenic Backdrop In ‘Endurance Capital’

    Northern California Craftsman Enjoys A Scenic Backdrop In ‘Endurance Capital’

    You may not even be aware that there’s a Northern California city known as the Endurance Capital of the World. Yes, Auburn, with its Gold Rush history and landmark status has been the site of decades of epic events, such as the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, the Tevis Cup 100-Mile Endurance Equestrian Ride and the Auburn Triathlon.

    The former mining territory, once rich in gold, boasts natural wealth these days in the form of the Auburn State Regional Park with hiking, camping and whitewater rafting.

    Stretching along two forks of the American River, the recreation area bumps up against the 62-home neighborhood of Montecelio. The exclusive community of large homes, developed starting in 1993, borders parkland and an elementary school.

    Among custom homes currently for sale, there is a charming craftsman with a wraparound porch that extends along the entire front of the gray with white trim home. A porte cochere supported by stone columns leads to the five-car detached garage.

    A covered walkway sheltered by stone columns leads off the back of the home to a stand-alone guesthouse, complete with a fireplace, kitchenette and full bathroom.

    Boulders and a waterfall line one side of the freeform swimming pool. Ribbons of pathways mimic the undulating shape of the pool.

    Hickory floors united the main level of the house, which includes a vaulted-ceiling family room with a fireplace, office, dining area with built-ins and butler’s pantry with a sink and beverage refrigerator.

    The center-island kitchen is outfitted with Quartzite counters, high-end GE Monogram appliances, a farm sink and walk-in pantry.

    Two primary suites on the main floor include such features as vaulted ceilings, fireplaces and French doors that open to the patio. Including the upstairs, there are a total of four bedrooms, five bathrooms and 3,794 square feet of living space.

    Suburban-vibe Auburn is about 35 miles from Sacramento and 40 miles from Sacramento International Airport. Its downtown is full of restaurants, bars and boutiques, and parks are plentiful. The population, according to Niche.com, is a mix of young professionals and retirees.

    Michele Colombo of GUIDE Real Estate is the listing agent for 1820 Vista Del Lago in Auburn. The asking price is US $1.699 million.

  • No. 13 Auburn defeats Texas Southern 72-56

    No. 13 Auburn defeats Texas Southern 72-56

    AUBURN, Ala. — K.D. Johnson scored 16 points, Jaylin Williams and Chris Moore both had 14, and No. 13 Auburn defeated Texas Southern 72-56 on Friday night.

    Texas Southern, which beat power-conference team Arizona State earlier this week, led early in the second half before Auburn answered with a 15-2 run to retake a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

    Auburn (4-0) got off to a slow start offensively, shooting 35.5% from the field and only scoring 29 points in the first half against a tough Texas Southern defense.

    Playing its fourth game in six days, Texas Southern (1-5) was unable to keep up with a deeper and fresher Auburn team after halftime. Late in the second half, Auburn went on an 11-0 run in less than two minutes to ultimately put the game away.

    The visiting Tigers were led in scoring by Joirdon Karl Nicholas’ 13 points. Davon Barnes added 12 points, while PJ Henry had 11.

    BIG PICTURE

    Texas Southern: Johnny Jones’ Tigers were fearless in their matchup against another highly ranked team after their 83-48 loss to No. 3 Houston on Wednesday night. The defending SWAC champions look like they will be a physical matchup for anyone they play.

    Auburn: The host Tigers missed the presence of starting center Johni Broome, who sat out Friday night with a bone bruise he suffered earlier in the week in a win against Winthrop. Without Broome, Auburn was unable to get a consistent offense going and didn’t enjoy its usual paint advantage from the first three games of the season.

    UP NEXT

    Texas Southern stays in the state of Alabama and visits Samford on Sunday.

    Auburn plays its first game away from home Tuesday, when it faces Bradley in Cancun, Mexico.
