Arkansas hires Chad Morris

[Deano]

Gus Malzhan to Arkansas? Might as well start a thread since it's going to be a topic going forward after today's game. I think it happens and hope so cause Auburn fan's don't appreciate what they have. Maybe they can hire Schiano I heard he's still available.

That's a big step down for Malzhan, IMHO. Although it's gotta be tough when the deck is stacked so much in 'Bama's favor, including a Board Of Regents filled with Bama alumni who lowball Auburn priorities.

Today's game might grease the skids for such a move. Wonder who, if anybody, gets the SEC slot in the NC tourney. I'd go with two-loss Georgia.

Much like Frost is a Nebraska guy, Gus is an Arkansas guy. He gone.

Georgia has one loss.

Agreed, I think they will pony up some serious $$$ for him.

Georgia has one loss.

I like 'em even better then.

 

[Alsacs]

If I were Gus I go.
The Auburn fans wanted him gone if he didn’t beat Georgia and Alabama this year.
Go home to Arkansas.
Auburn isn’t that great a job IMO. It’s 2nd fiddle instate and their fans expect to beat Bama. Good luck while Saban is there consistently.

This is and Tennessee are the two programs i thought might offer Dino if we had finished strong.

 

[longislandcuse]

Florida State and Auburn losing coaches to lesser programs... weird offseason.

 

[Deano]

Arkansas expected to offer Gus Malzahn coaching job; Mike Norvell is second option

 

[Chip]

Go from a school that wanted you fired during a SEC championship game season to a school that fired its head coach as he was walking off the field after the final game.

And they’re both mathematically eliminated from catching the most dysfunctional school in their conference.

Auburn is the 4th best job in their division and 5th when Ole Miss is rolling. Some alumni bases are so disconnected from reality. It's like Tennessee, maybe 7th best job in the SEC after Bama, LSU, GA, A&M, FLA, Auburn? Hell it's pretty even with Ole Miss and Arkansas.

 

[corpjet]

Mark it down, Gus is heading to the land of the Clintons...

 

[Deano]

Looks like Gus is staying. Good luck with that great fan base Gus.
Sources: Malzahn, Auburn agree to new deal

True, yes, he was outcoached by smart last night but the previous week he outschemed saban. It happens. Overall he is a great offensive mind and has recruited like crazy! Look at the talent there. Given the way the final weeks played out, i still think auburn is that 4th team. The SEC championship after the Bama game is a tough order. Give that team 3 weeks and they will play with anyone .

Is there any way in hell Venables leaves Clemson for Arkansas??!!??

That's not even a lateral move, it's a downgrade.

Ole Miss won’t be a good job for 5-10 years imo

Is this that much of an upgrade?
