You love to point out team historical records but not Gus’ actual record at Auburn. wonder why?

---

Because Gus' actual record at Auburn would be no more reflective of his potential record at Arkansas, than Bert's record at Wisconsin was of his record here.

But Norvell, Clark, Kiffin, Leach, etc would?

---

Not necessarily, but Norvell, Clark, and Kiffin will almost surely be able to recruit better at Arkansas than they have been able to at their respective schools. Gus, not so much.

Speculation

Well, please speculate for me the last time Florida Atlantic, Memphis, or UAB had a better recruiting class than ours.

That you’ll give every other candidate the benefit of the doubt except the most qualified one on the list. Why would that be? Don’t answer that, I already know.

Maybe you think you know, but I seriously doubt it. An offensive guru with a mediocre at best offense, and a pronounced inability to develop a quarterback does not a most qualified candidate make.

A failure at another school in the very division of the very conference you are expecting to have success in, does not the most qualified candidate make.

A financial burden to a direct competitor does not the most qualified candidate make.

I could go on, but you stopped paying attention about 3 sentences ago.

I think Gus has too much baggage to ever be fully accepted here.

And it would be a bad move to let Auburn off the hook with that contract.

There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Why do people get so hung up on their exes?

This right here.

I’m not convinced he wants to be here in the first place. Can you imagine the shite that will be flung at him when he fails here? Hiring him splits the fan base, and he knows this. Any success here is going to come in fits and starts, regardless of who is hired, but if we hire Gus, every time we take a step back, we have a warring fan base. Gus knows this as well. If he wants out of Auburn, why do you think that is? Do you really think he is dumb enough to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire? And if he is, do we really want him?

and who is Wally Hall speaking of in this article... 

Hmmm

I'm going to write this post in the stylings of Wally Hall.

Yes, THE Wally Hall.

Wally was already washed up when I left Arkansas six years ago, I'm glad to see nothing has changed since then. He's always been too old school - and he sets his sights too low for the once proud Razorback program.

This particular poster doesn't think Wally's piece is referencing Gus, however. I don't really classify what Malzahn did two years ago as "he made a mistake," in fact that's one of the last things that comes to this writer's mind.

It's all water under a burned down bridge anyway.

The wording ("Razorback fans might have to accept he made a mistake in the past") fits and sounds an awful lot like Bobby Petrino; plus the "second chances" part at the end. This wouldn't be a second chance for Gus unless you're only counting two years ago when he played part-time AD Julie Peoples like an Alabama fiddle, and then was that really a "mistake" on his part anyway?

This lowly sports writer wouldn't classify it as one.

If a job applicant only used your time and effort as a manager in an attempt to secure a raise at his current job, would you consider that a "mistake" under two years later?
As a long-time sports writer here in the Natural State, I know several CEOs that would balk at the thought.

Hunter Yurachek is the CEO of a once proud program hoping to get back to high profit margins.

We should trust him with our program's fate in his hands.
