1. He wasn't the reason for success at Arkansas, hell he was handcuffed by Nutt severely. But they led the SEC in offense that year, he utilized the talent well.

This is 100% accurate. I'm not a Hog fan but sometimes I will go to their games since I live up here. You could tell when Coach Nutt would call a play and interfer with what Malzahn was doing. The Hogs would be rolling then all the sudden the Hogs would go to that same shite Nutt likes to run and it cost them some games when Nutt would go conservative and their fanbase went crazy and it got ugly up here. Nutt was scared of how popular Malzahn was and I think Gus just said the hell with it and went and coached 50 minutes west from Springdale where he did not have to sell his house and uproot his family. Gus never talked any smack on the Razorbacks and really is a class act. I keep hearing his name mentioned with the Colorado job that may come open at the end of the season. Without a doubt I think Gus Malzahn's offense would tear it up out in the Pac 10 where they like to open things up.
