Who wanted Tater Tot?

Who wanted Bill Oliver?

Who wanted Tuberville?

Who wanted Chizik?
So your post was 50% correct - well above your career average. Nice job!
Oh, and before you question any of those rumors, I heard them all from Bama fans, usually right after an Iron Bowl victory. So they have to have been legit, amirite?
I know it's probably a little tough for you, having lost HCs to the likes of Kentucky and Texas A&M in recent years. But I'm pretty sure Terri likes it in the Druid City, so you don't have to fret about Nick bolting for that sweet FAU gig that just opened up.

Arkansas schedule has been harder than anyone's in that 5 week stretch. It's just a fact.

How much longer will Beilema stay at Arky?

Malzahn is a great coach. Why would he leave a historically great program like AU (Top 10 overall ) to go to Arkansas when that state produces so little when it comes to recruiting?
What resources/recruiting base/strategic advantage could Arkansas provide a football coach than Auburn couldn't provide a much better version of? Especially since the programs are in the same division he would play/recruit against the same programs at both institutions.

AU is not top 10 overall. WTF is up with Bama fans sucking off Auburn, thought you were rivals? I never see a gamecock fan say anything good about clemson. We are the definition of a true rivalry.

I bet they fire him in year 3, dude is in over his head. I watched that Arky team just give up when they played us a few weeks ago, not good for a HC to lose his team his first fricking year.

Gus is young, Saban will be gone in a few years, as long as he is willing to hit the recruiting trail I think he'll be at Auburn for at least 5 years.

Historically yes I would put Auburn somewhere around 10-15. We are bitter rivals but yes Auburn is a much better job and program that Arkansas or South Carolina could ever hope to be. And personally I've liked Malzahn a long time. The fact that a good deal of his offense actually evolved from Wing T concepts has made me a fan for a long time. Even though his offense is lumped with other "spread offenses" people don't realize how much of it is evolved Wing T and how much of that evolution was actually done by him. He took a central Wing T concept called the Run/Pass Bind and adapted that to his offense. He does run a good deal of Zone Read in his offense but a lot of his run plays are stuff he developed/adapted to their present form himsef. Like his invert veer which makes the teams he coaches the only "spread teams" you see running Load/Power Option. I've been going to Auburn's camps/clinics the past few years while he is there for those reasons.

People hear "spread" and get the wrong idea.. they very much play smash mouth football on offense. They just try to hit you in the mouth while running as many plays as they possibly can.

And they treat Spread like one offense when its a general concept that has literally 2 dozen or not more completely distinct offensive patterns and I mean of course just general outlines/strategy. And those different outlines came from much different areas/levels of football etc.

IMO I think Gus is in at AU for the long haul. Unless some very huge opportunity comes along in a few years, even then he is picky about his jobs. Remember him turning Vandy down after 2010? If he'd taken that vandy job he wouldn't be back at AU.
I halfway think the administration and Gus both knew chiziks tenure would be short lived and Gus was the guy as soon as the admins found a viable reason to make the swap.

No chance he retires on his own? Man, already setting up to fire the man...

Do you not know how to post correctly?

Gus Malzahn's married to Auburn.
...and Kristi's OK with it.
