From 1996 to 2000, current Auburn football coach Gus Malzahn helmed Springdale, Arkansas' Shiloh Saints. Shortly after he'd moved on, his book The Hurry-Up, No-Huddle: An Offensive Philosophy was released, containing these images as demonstrations of sideline signals that would be easy for high schoolers to remember in the heat of battle.

In Shiloh's case, a Biblical theme worked well, since its players "were already familiar with the Bible and the stories that went with the characters."

While his stops at Arkansas and Arkansas State have likely adapted alternate themes (backwoods computer hacking and deer hunting, respectively), there is no program in the country that would be more suited for a return to using Joseph's many-colored suit as a play signal than Auburn.

It's a God thing.

I thought the embarrassing "it's a God thing" gimmick shite left with Eugene? Gustav is going to continue to perpetuate that doucheyness?

His Jeebusness inspires quite a cult following in NWA.

Depending on where Gus is coaching, you'll see Tulsa hats, Auburn hats, etc loitering outside all the rest stop bathrooms around here.

It's a joke.

Gus doesn't call plays like that here. Now we use things like giant Cam Newton heads.

The Gus Bus is on its way to Canaan.

You guys can either get with the program or wander around in the wilderness for another 40 years.

God is all about hand signals for football games and play calling.
