re: UPDATE: Mike Irwin just said Malzahn is choice #1.

As someone who was a fan of the Bert hire, I’m most concerned with recruiting ties to TX and LA. One of Bert’s biggest downfalls IMO. Personally I like Campbell but question whether he could adapt better than Bert did. My concern with Norvall would be his ability to assemble a quality staff, perhaps he’d have no issues, I don’t know.

I’d certainly take Gus over anybody from the Big 10 or Holtz.
