re: Why is Gus Malzahn hated among so many Arkansas Razorback fans?

quote:

---

He was a high-school wizard in the state of Arkansas. The guy took over as head coach at Springdale high-school in 2001, and then proceeded to take said school to state championships in 2 of his last 4 years (winning one in 2005).

A lot of people don't like him from his time at Shiloh Christian. The school he coached at before he went to Springdale.

Personaly, I have no problems with Gus. We even lost to Shiloh 42-0 my senior year but I don't hold it against him. He's a very good coach but he's a very polarizing figure in our state. Arkansas has long been his dream job but unfortunately it is never going to happen.
