The Gus Bus

[Jack13]

Gus Malzahn will be on ESPN Saturday, coaching the Tulsa Hurricanes in the Conference USA Championship. Just watch his offense and all the movement. His offense drives defenses crazy!

See ya there

[HognAggieland]

saw his offense at springdale.  I'll watch two good teams instead!!

[mossfan33]

i've seen it before.  i like leach's original version alot more

[Doug]

Jack, what time?

[jtw109]

he will be "CO-offensive coordinating"....you talk as if he is the head coach

[hoggchadder]

better watch it jtw109 if you put the "co" word before offensive coordinator the yahoo's will jump all over you.

[mossfan33]

jtw, please check your messages.

LEACH,DAVIS OR PETERSON ONLY GOOD OPTIONS WE HAVE

[HoopHog]

I'm thinking you should replace ARE with OUR so that your title makes sense. 

[doo-ran]

Gus as "are" head coach? I'm thinking a crash course in spelling.

[Joe]

 :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: OK, this poll made me laugh. It worked, I fell for it. I thought there would be two actual HC candidates up there, instead I found two wannabes.
  :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[Arkapigdiesel]

Grammar is overrated.

[brodie_hawg]

i am thinking hell no.  I do not want an asst coach as our head coach.  The SEC is no place to start your head coaching career.

[razorpsycho]

I'm just not as smart as you Gus lovers.

[HawgAdvocate]

LEACH,DAVIS OR PETERSON ONLY GOOD OPTIONS WE HAVE

Leach isn't a winner.

Davis has a contract extension at UNC.

Peterson is another in a long line of former Boise St. coaches who can't cut it in a bigger conference against better competition on a weekly basis. Nutt, Koetter, Hawkins...and now Peterson.

Sorry.

We passed on Pete Carroll and Jimmy Johnson because the old money grubbing know-it-alls think they can pick "their" own guy.

Don't be a fool.

[HornetHog]

If not Leach...and he'd be a great 1st choice.  Gus would be a fin 2nd(he'd also run the ball more giving us a balanced O.)  Leach could give a rat's ass about running.....at all.

[edt]

You are an idiot.

[Arkapigdiesel]

I love homemade clam chowder.

LEACH,DAVIS OR PETERSON ONLY GOOD OPTIONS WE HAVE

Why does it keep saying "You didn't select a vote option"?  I am clearly clicking the submit button without choosing either choice.  Can you help me out?

[Bill CHILL]

Because Gus has never failed a program. He is native to Arkansas and he is extremely well respected nation-wide.

[jkelly107]

Gus would be perfect

[ckhawgu]

Gus is the MAN for the job!

[win-streak]

I'd like Gus, but he's not an option of the poll

[HoopHog]

I think we should drive to Morgan and buy another 12 pack and a 5th of Old No. 7!

[sowmonella]

Because Gus has never failed a program. He is native to Arkansas and he is extremely well respected nation-wide.

He's not even known nationwide.

[LordVader]

They will blame him as a reason Nutt is gone and never support him fully.  UA needs a complete break from that drama.  Perhaps in another 10 years ,after he's developed as a HC, he will return home the hero. 

[porkerfan]

Gus would be a great choice!!!

[TexHog188]

Legit question, not bashing, but would Gus have enough clout given his relatively short tenure at the college level to put an SEC quality coaching staff together?  My guess is no.  Love Gus, but I think he needs a few years at D1 to build sufficient credibility to attract quality assistant coaches.

[Team Oklahoma]

Ah isnt that what we tried to do with Davis, we see how that worked out.
Hire him or lose him forever

[HornetHog]

He's not even known nationwide.

Oh yes he is......Im a HS coach and he is very much know nation wide in  coaching circles.

[mj4president]

No I like Gus. When I was a hugger I liked Gus. He can recruit and a smart coach to boot.

Gus wasn't the drama, nor did he create it.  Please, Houston himself asked everyone to let it go.  Don't punish Gus for unwarranted ill feelings.

Hire Gus!

[TexHog188]

I'm sure many HS coaches know Gus nationwide, but you can't put a staff together to compete in the SEC from your old HS contacts.  Bring in a seasoned HC, with Gus as OC for 3-4 years, then give it to Gus.

[bearmkt]

This board has rumors of Gus going to Texas

[ark30inf]

Gus...gusgus.....gus.  Gus.  Gus, gus....gusgus....gus.

Gus, gus!  Gus?  Gusgus.

Gus.

[jfb4ever]

         Plez Houston, take Broyles, White, Reggie, Lindsey, and the Gang with YOU!. Did anyone hear any Truth in the Press Conference? I can/t see this Gang doing the Right Thing? Gus is What We NEED!

[OKCHogFan]

We obviously already have someone in mind...

[fanofthehog]

I would take Gus in a heartbeat.

[ark30inf]

Gus.  Gusgus gus.  Gus!  Gusgus, gus gus gus.  Gus?  Gusgus.

[clew]

if he winds up at Texas and they lay a 100 on us in a couple of years, we'll have only ourselves to blame.

[hview]

I hope he doesn't. I would really like to see him come back to Arkansas.

[win-streak]

Hope everyone votes.  I really think it would be really interesting to see reality if we everyone voted.

[LordVader]

Gus wasn't the drama but he will be forever linked to it.  And what makes you think he would work for the PTB that allowed his poor treatment only a year ago?

[jgphillips3]

Of all those who don't think Gus is ready to be a head coach, the staffing issue is the only solid reason I have seen put forth that makes any sense.  I don't care that he hasn't been a head coach in D1 in almost any other area.  He would invigorate the offense and has a detailed mind and would make a quick transition to the level of coaching needed. 

The next two years aren't going to be too good regardless, so I think that will be plenty of time for him to learn.  However, you have to have a good DC and staff to make the HC gig work.  That was a perennial problem for Nutt.  That part of the equation is the ONLY thing that would scare me about Gus; could he hire a good enough staff to compliment him.

[bigredone]

I would be a Gus supporter. That sounds so much better than Jockstap or Nutt supporter....

[hview]

Gus

[East Clintwood]

I'm going to support anyone they hire for a few years.

Gus is way down the list of who I would hire for a head coach,  Give him a few years, then maybe hire him.

[Newport Hog]

Beside Tuberville and Butch I would like Gus but you would have to get a good and I mean good def coordinator

[bricklayer]

Moderators, please delete this guy's post.  It makes everybody in the state look like idiots.  "ARE"?
