Gus Could Leave AU for Arky

quote:

“Yes, I do,” Finebaum started when asked if he thought Malzahn would “go home” to Arkansas after the 2017 season. “Let’s assume Gus Malzahn survives this season. He’s either going to have Jay Jacobs as his boss– someone with whom he doesn’t speak– or he’s going to have a new boss who has no vested interest or investment in him. So, if given the opportunity to go home where he can escape Auburn and escape the immediate shadow of Nick Saban– now, listen, you still play Saban at Arkansas– but the expectations at Arkansas are ‘Have an 8-4 season, maybe win your bowl game and we’ll throw you a parade.’ At Auburn, 8-4 gets you fired.”


Please Happen!!!

For Gus, I am sure coaching at ARK is his dream job. I hope it happens for him and for Auburn.

I wouldn't shed a tear.


Gus can only get to 8-5 with top ten recruiting classes. He might notch a few marquee wins at Arkansas but he'd never have the success they want.

Huh, so Finebaum really is just as stupid as the posters on the rant.

Gus would be an incredible hire for Arkansas. He would really keep the in state talent and be able to maximize the offensive talent they have on the roster currently. If he beats Texas A&M and wins either the UGA or bama game, he is safe at Auburn. Losing to UGA again this year wouldn't be good for his future at AU.

If you are Arky why hire a coach who has done nothing but get worse when you can go hire a youngish succesful G5 coach?
