I'm still hearing it's not happening with Gus because of his contract demands more than anything. We're willing to pay a large buyout (not necessarily for Gus, just in general) but not willing to lock ourselves down with a massive long-term contract that he's demanding. He's wanting Saban money for 6-8 years GUARANTEED written in. He thinks he holds all the cards and can name his price...
Boy he sure does looooove Arkansas and wants to come home

He and Sexton probably think they have all the leverage in the world right now as it pertains to our job, and they're right....for now.
If Gus loses the Iron Bown, that leverage is somewhat gone. Given his current situation at Auburn and the fact that they were ready to run him out of town a few short weeks ago, there's an enormous difference in 9-3 with yet another loss to Bama and 10-2 and a presumed SEC Championship.
It just depends on how pitifully desperate our GOBN is and how intent they are on getting Gus. If he wins Saturday, he holds all of the cards and we should simply walk away. I'm not a Malzahnista but I would like him to be our next coach, but I don't want us giving him a blank check, a decade contract, and a rubber stamp on the AD decision. That would be incredibly stupid.
Like I said in another thread, regardless of where you sit in terms of whether you're for hiring Malzahn or not, Auburn winning on Saturday would be the worst possible outcome for us if our GOBN are as intent on hiring Gus as they're believed to be.
