AUBURN, Ala. -- Gus Malzahn has helped lead Auburn into two national championship games and also coached them through a pair of mediocre seasons. Now, hes in a much tougher situation.The Tigers are 1-2 and trying to recover from losses to two current top 10 teams that were both in doubt in the fourth quarter and revive a struggling offense more susceptible to bad plays than big ones.Ive been at Auburn for seven years now, experienced some very good times, a few rough times, Malzahn said Tuesday. The last two losses have probably hurt me worse than any of the others. I fully understand our fan base is disappointed, and they should be. The bottom line is weve got to coach our players better, and that starts with me.The fact is, were close. As a matter of fact, were real close to being a good team and were going to get this thing turned around.The Tigers (0-1 Southeastern Conference) have another big challenge to overcome Saturday when No. 18 LSU (2-1, 1-0)visits Jordan-Hare Stadium, where Auburn has already lost to No. 5 Clemson and No. 10 Texas A&M . Louisiana-Monroe closes a five-game opening home stand that so far hasnt turned out the way Auburn had hoped.Malzahn was offensive coordinator during Auburns 2010 national title season and led the Tigers back into the championship game in his debut as head coach three years later.Now, hes trying to keep this season from continuing to go downhill. Auburn has gone into the fourth quarter within reach of both Clemson and Texas A&M but couldnt pull off the comebacks.Malzahn said Auburn is close to turning the corner, but there are plenty of issues to fix, especially offensively.His offense ranks last among 128 FBS teams in tackles per loss allowed per game, allowing nine sacks already.Malzahn is sticking with Sean White as his starting quarterback against LSU. Auburn leads the SEC in rushing, largely because of a 462-yard performance against Arkansas State. The teams longest completion is 43 yards with only seven pass plays of 20-plus yards, all courtesy of White.Malzahn said its not just the quarterbacks, blaming offensive line calls from the coaches for some of the issues protecting White. He also said his own offensive play calling hasnt been all that good.Weve got to be better around him, Malzahn said of White. Weve got to put him in better situations from a coaching standpoint to help him.He took the uncharacteristic approach of broaching fan discontent and the teams problems in his opening statement. Malzahn acknowledged the reality that hes drawing heat from Auburn fans for the start. The problems didnt begin this season.Auburn has lost 10 of its last 12 SEC games.I definitely feel their pain first of all, Malzahn said. I know the Auburn family. I know their expectations. I dont read social media. I just know they expect us to play good football. I hurt too. Weve got to do a better job, I got to do a better job.

Paul George Shoes Cheap . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.Aston Villas Premier League season has been shocking and embarrassing, but relegation may give the club the restart it needs, says Jamie Redknapp.Villas 1-0 defeat at Swansea on Saturday Night Football was their 21st in 31 games this season, while Remi Garde has won just two Premier League games since taking over in November.They sit 12 points from safety with seven games remaining, and having finished in the bottom six of the Premier League for the past four seasons, Redknapp says relegation has been coming. Federico Fernandez (second right) scored Swanseas winner on Saturday Night Football Theyve won three games this year, Redknapp told Sky Sports. This is Aston Villa were talking about, European Cup winners. They shouldnt be in this position, but it is symptomatic of all their problems. They have been shocking this season, embarrassing.Theyve let the fans down. This is a marvelous club. For them not to be in the Premier League next year is criminal, but sometimes you need a wake-up call, sometimes you need something to happen, and this could be it.Next year theyll regroup, probably start the season as favourites, and this is a good big opportunity for the likes of Jack Grealish and Andre Green and other young players to get this club back where they should be. Swansea 1-0 Aston Villa Read our match report But this isnt just today, this is all season, they really have been so poor. This has been happening the last three or four years. Theres no real surprise, and theyve somehow got to change that flow.They were not strong enough defensively, apart from Gueye in midfield theyve been really poor, and theyve not scored enough goals.Villa gave Garde his first management job in English football after sacking Tim Sherwood in the autumn, but the Frenchman has failed to lift the Midlands club off the bottom of the Premier League.Redknapp was surprised Villa went for a manager with limited experience in charge of sides struggling at the bottom of the table, but believes the club would still be an attractive outfit for several top bosses in the future. Villa are currently 12 points from safety with seven games remaining The manager is the most important thing now, Redknapp said. I dont know what theyll do in the summer. When they appointed Remi Garde it was a strange appointment.There are managers that keep teams up as a specialised job. The likes of Sam Allardyce, Tony Pulis, people like that have done it year in, year out.ddddddddddddemi Garde will probably be better next year because he has an understanding of being at the top.But I tell you something, there will be plenty of people that want to manage Aston Villa. Plenty of people. Its a really good opportunity for someone to bring them up. Aston Villa manager Remi Garde was brought into the club in November after the sacking of Tim Sherwood I also hope Jack Grealish is watching this and thinking: Im going to show them the player I can be, because he has the ability to rip that league up.Some of the current players have the parachutes out, theyve been out of the plane for a long time.Speaking on Saturday Night Football, Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry echoed Redknapps words, and says Federico Fernandes winning goal for Swansea, which came from unconvincing goalkeeping from Brad Guzan and other lax defending, summed up their season. Thierry Henry hopes that Aston Villa manager Garde will keep his job at Villa Park. Henry also believes Villa will find it tough finding a way back to the Premier League if they are relegated, and must be careful with their player recruitment in the summer.For me, this sums up the season, three mistakes in one set piece. It is not a due when you go down to the Championship that you are going to come back up straight away.Weve seen teams go down and said: Theyll be back, the likes of Leeds, Nottingham Forest. Villa is a great club, but sometimes you get what you deserve, and they deserve to go down.Theyll have to make sure Villa get guys that know the Championship, know how to get a team up.Also See:Swansea 1-0 Aston VillaAs it happenedMatch factsAston Villa news ' ' '
