HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
1992-1995 (Hughes High school) - Played for a state championship.
1996-2000 (Shiloh Christian) - Won two state championships.
2001-2005 (Springdale High School) - Played for two state championships, won one.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
2006 (Arkansas) - Won the SEC West.
2007-2008 (Tulsa) - Won Conference USA West both years.
2009-2011 (Auburn) - Won SEC West, SEC and National Championship.
2012 (Arkansas State) - Won Sun Belt Conference.
2013 (Auburn) - Won SEC West, SEC and played for National Championship.
So far in Gus Malzahn's career, high-school and college, every team he has coached for (no matter what position) has eventually played for a title of some sort. From Hughes, Shiloh Christian and Springdale high-schools to Arkansas, Tulsa, Auburn, Arkansas State and Auburn again - every team has been in the race for some type of title.
Strangely enough, since Gus Malzahn left Arkansas, they haven't won the SEC West. Since Gus Malzahn left Tulsa, they have only won the Conference USA West once. After Gus Malzahn left Arkansas State, they were unable to win the Sun Belt. The year after Gus Malzahn left Auburn, they had arguably their worst season ever...then he returned and completely revitalized the program.

Not only is Malzahn a better coach, he's also a fraction of Bert's size!

This cannot be understated.

Got outcoached and lost in 2000 State Championship game (with Rhett Lashlee at QB) by my little old alma mater. By a run first, real american football offense.
Rison ended the Saints streak with a combination of solid defense, ball-control offense and key turnovers. "(Running) is our philosophy," Rison coach Clay Totty said. "Thats what we live and die on. The things we did to get us here were going to be good enough for us to win. The kids executed real well."

No doubt, he is good. But if you are going off of past history with him, I would be worried of the shape of the program he leaves you in when he is out. But that is no different with any coach I guess.
As long as he is there, Auburn should be pretty good.

True. Will be interesting to see him coach in the NFL soon.

I played against Hughes in 2009.. They're not the same without ol' Gus

Lotta "played for" in there. Same as "appearances". Looks like he has trouble winning the big one. Other than that, he's pretty solid, I guess..

Sure, sure. Just wait until SEC DC's figure out his HS O.

Also, IIRC, he's never coached on a team, high school or college, that has won fewer than 8 games in a season. In fact, in his eight full seasons as a collegiate coach, the two 8-5 campaigns at AU in '09 and '11 were the only two of his teams that failed to reach 10 wins.

Slow down with the high school shite. Arkansas high school football is a joke. You don't see rush propst coaching Alabama and he had more titles and against better competition than malzahn. He's a solid offensive coach and no one denies that but he isn't exactly what you would call an established winner. This is his first real head coaching gig where it matters publically. If he can do it for the next 2-3 years he's starting to build some talk for one of the top coaches out there.

His last season in Springdale, he mercy ruled every team he played but one.
Even mercy ruled Jenks, Oklahoma and Evangel Christian, Shreveport.
He missed the mercy rule in the State Championship by 1 point.
Springdale was #1 in one poll and #2 in the other poll to South Lake Carroll. SLC's Coach contacted Malzahn about getting a "National Championship" game together, Malzahn said no thanks. Many around here think it's good that he did.
