Gus bails on Chizik after Cam leaves and a down year, leaves Aubie and the staff hanging with no QB development to run the system had them recruit players for.

He gets turned down for the UNC, Kansas, Colorado jobs. Likely was told by Dye that he needed to get some HC experience, then bails on Arkansas St. not even making it a year after stating publicly he was there to make Astate the Boise St. of the South.

Gus leveraged his Springdale players to get in the college game, then bailed on them in less than a year and encouraged them to transfer.

Gus was shown on the sidelines just as much if not more than Chizik, the narrative was out there to pump up Gus.



I'm glad to hate you again Auburn, the sleaze will never be wiped away from that place.

While I see where you are coming from, I don't blame Gus. He had a chance to be a head coach and he took the job. He got offered a job at an SEC program that he just coached at so he took the offer. I think 99.9% of people in his position would do the same thing.

Wouldn't say this is accurate. He left Arkansas for Tulsa, hardly an example of him being opportunistic and greedy. If he were really being selfish, he would have tried to convince those players to follow him.

Arkansas hired him for the sole purpose of signing the Springdale players who otherwise had no interest in the Hogs. Then did not allow him free reign over the offense as promised. It was a dysfunctional situation all around.

Did he really say that? If so, that's some bullshite. He, along with everyone else, knew damn well he was only there for 2 seasons tops.

I always saw it more as Arkansas used Gus to lock up all the Springdale players.

That's just how the coaching game works. He will be a failure at Auburn n a grand scale.

This is what I don't like. I can understand him wanting to move up in the coaching ranks and believe Malzahn's a good coach, but he could have accomplished this without all the misleading bullshite he fed stAte. I had really thought that he was above this. I really hope now that ASU gets a damn good coach and I'm not even an ASU fan.
