It'll be interesting if Malzahn does wind up at Arkansas -- from what I'd heard he wasn't popular among Razorback faithful after the Nutt/Mustain debacle -- which was mainly on Nutt but opinion was Malzahn wasn't exactly an innocent victim -- of course that was 10 years ago so any bad feelings may have well have subsided by then.

To me going from Auburn to Arkansas is a step down -- Auburn is just a plain better job, and Malzahn would have folks saying he left AU because he didn't want to compete in state with Saban. But I have heard people report Malzahn is getting tired of not getting a long term contract from AU....it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Reports are also Sumlin is gone from A&M regardless of the outcome of their game against LSU and they'll be pursuing Jimbo Fisher -- which is ironic because 2 years ago before the A&M - LSU game LSU was trying to push Les Miles out -- so they could try to hire Jimbo Fisher.'

Chip Kelly is supposedly deciding between UCLA and Florida....who knows what's really going on with UT and Gruden?

Nebraska would do good if they get Frost -- I never understood them hiring Mike Riley.

Las Vegas odds are on Mike leach at Upig.

What I recall is that Gus was hired in like Freeze to get Mustain and the other 4 kids to Upig.  Part of the agreement was that Nutt was going to relinquish play calling duties to Malzahn and that never happened.  They struggled.  Mustain's momma called Nutt out about it and went to Broyles about it.  Nutt painted them all as meddlers and evil.  Haven't we seen this before?  
Anyways that is what I recall and as others have stated it's been a long time but I have yet to speak to anyone who is pig fan that has spoken a single bad word about gus.  He's one of theirs and they would welcome him back home.  Is that taking a step backward from Auburn?  Possibly.   But the allure of being able to rebuild a program and having all of the support in the world from the fanbase but most importantly not being little brother to bama has to be very strong.  I think Auburn wins the Iron Bowl and Gus tells them to f off and heads to Fayetteville.  
 

The scenario described is very accurate.  Mutt fractured the whole group of the Springdale 5.  He also tried to throw Gus under the bus.  Mutt made promises to this group but reneged after they were signed and on campus.  Mutt and Gus did not see eye to eye and Mutt was intimidate by Gus.  Mustain's Mother along with other players' parents met with Broyles, but Mutt tried to make them seem like meddlers.  Mutt ruined Mustain, just like he ruined most every QB that set foot on the Arky campus when he was head coach.
