How far has this guy fallen???
Arkansas State?? Really???
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
Does he have any HC experience? I guess big time programs are being more cautious with hiring greener coaches.

I think he was offered Vandy last year...........Auburn is about to nose dive.
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
It's not that he has fallen, it is just that he really hated the situation that he was in at Auburn. With that being said, he is taking a pay cut to head to Arkansas State so it's huge steal for them. For what it's worth, I thought he was a lock for the KU job or that he was using Arkansas State as leverage for another position -- guess not! Enjoy beating up on ULM, Gus!
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
I think its an easier position than a Vandy or a Kansas to have a future, you can win at Ark St, they win the conference anyways, you have a good enough team already, just prove you can recruit and really be a HC and win.. easy wins, HC experience, and a free trip to a better AQ job 3 yrs down the road.

What does he (Malzahn) know about the Auburn situation that we don't?

I was in Auburn yesterday for work. Rumor around the cabbie circles there was some issues surfacing -- starting with Dyer transferring out...potentially to arky state, no less.
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
This is a weird one. Seems like he could have had his pick.
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
I wonder if this has anything to do with Michael Dyer's suspension? He may bring Dyer with him.
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
With Dyer and Fredi Knighten, he could dominate the belt.

THIS! Very shrewd career move, imo....
Re: Gus malzahn to ???????????????
You've got to wonder why a guy who just 2 years ago said he was happy being a coordinator, has changed his mind right after his top player has been dismissed from the team.

If I am not mistaken, he served as Co-Head Coach at Tulsa for a season with Todd Graham. I know that "co" doesn't technically count but, he could have manipulated it a bit on his resume'. :icon_wink:

I hope he doesn't get a bad reputation for not being able to work well with others. Arkansas and now Auburn.
