Do you think Gus wants Houston to succeed?

[Porkem]

Baptists be honest here!

[redbarn]

I don't think Gus cares one way or the other.  I think he is more concerned on his team succeeding and has no desire to be involved one way or the other with  Nutt or his "high school name calling" assistant coaches.

[HawgWyld]

I, too, doubt that he cares. He's probably glad to be away from the UA and is content to leave the kennel to Lassie. Malzahn has a job that should keep him busy for some time and I'd hope that he's concentrating on that.

[Porkem]

I take it your answers are NO...or is that a HELL NO?  C'mon boys...quit spinnin' and be honest...with yourselves.  It's like Hollywood...it's not enough that I succeed...but  you must fail...tis...tis...human nature...and Gus...and the Baptists....are no exception...and I'm a Baptist too...no excuse!

Baptists be honest here!

[USAF Hog]

I'm sure he's going to track the Hogs, but I don't see that he would care one way or another.

Really.  :razorback:

[HoopS]

I would think that he wants the players that he bonded with to do well.   I think he wants the UofA to do well.  I can't say what  he thinks of the coaches.  I really have no idea.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

I don't think Gus cares one way or the other.  I think he is more concerned on his team succeeding and has no desire to be involved one way or the other with  Nutt or his "high school name calling" assistant coaches.

Ditto.

[oldman1015]

no, would you?

[HogHillbilly]

I don't think he cares...................But deep down, NO

[DeltaBoy]

NO !  :razorback:

[Choctaw Hog]

I actually think Gus would like to kick the Nutts.

[DukeOfPork]

If I were Gus, you would be exactly right.  I would be respectful of my evil former boss, but I would find satisfaction in Nutt getting bit by karma.

However, I seriously doubt that Gus cares.  He is onto the next thing.  I think that is just his mentality.

[mword]

If I was Gus, and I'd had to put with a piss poor coach like Nutt, I'd want him to fail big time.

[HOGWILD_F4I]

Gus has one goal on his mind: improving the Tulsa offense.  I honestly think Gus probably doesn't give a rats @$$ about Nutt.

[spudhog]

i don't think he cares. maybe some of the uofa assistant's he might feel the need to root against.

[rocksalt]

I don't think Gus cares one way or the other.  I think he is more concerned on his team succeeding and has no desire to be involved one way or the other with  Nutt or his "high school name calling" assistant coaches.

I agree, Gus has moved on and has greater priorities. Regardless, I do think Gus wants to be MORE SUCCESSFUL than HDN. Just a little more salt on the wound that way.

[taoteching]

I am surprised by anyone thinking that "wants" really matter to anybody.

I think Gus is totally (100%) concerned about his Tulsa team.  He knows that thinking or wanting anything is totally useless. The only thing that matters is what he has control over.

Having said the above, I will bet one dollar that Gus is not sending any text messages that are not related to his job.  I will also bet that no one on his staff or family is sending (or forwarding) any emails that are not positive and constructive.

[BigDeal]

Why in the world would he want Coach Nutt to fail ?

[pastalady]

Gus is not the type of man that would wish ill or failure on anyone, even HDN.  He only cares about the boys that he has coached and that they have winning seasons and where he is coaching now. 

[jdlew]

Gus is the only one to come out of this without scars......and he is the one that granted permisson to write the book. The first big mistake.

[jackflash]

I think he cares about the Arkansas program to much, to let how he might feel about Nutt effect him. I think he has a chance to become the Arkansas Head Coach in time, He is working for Tulsa now, making them the best offense he can will be all he thinking about.

[I BLEED RBack RED]

Gus loves Arkansas...and I believe that deep down he wants Houston to fail that way maybe he can be our head coach....

[NuttinItUp]

Gus is a stand up guy. I doubt he harbors any ill will towards anyone.

[W_KY_Hog]

If I were Gus I think I wouldn't try to think about HDN at all.

I would try to move on.

Bitterness just saps your energy.

[grizzlyhawg]

I don't think he is in a position to really care too much.  I bet he wants the players who played for him that haven't left for California to do well.

But Gus in his own situation is still probably pinching himself each morning when he wakes up and realizes he is coaching college ball.

[sage_dragoon]

Seeing how he's stated a hog fan and has relationships with former players, I'm sure he hopes they do well.  He may not necessarily be rooting for HDN but for the overall success of the team, like many fans do.

[D-Maczone]

Unless you ask him and he tells you.......how can you even begin to know how or what he feels??

[badbeagle]

Who really cares?

[D-Maczone]

Who really cares?

Not I said the penquin....

[hogman64]

Do you think Houston wants Gus to succeed?.......NO

[coach5779]

Who cares?  Gus is no longer a part of the Razorbacks (FOR WHATEVER REASON).  He should, and probably is more worried about Tulsa then what is going on here.  The "fans" are trying to make a bigger deal out of things by continuously asking questions like this.

[WILL CLINTON]

He's been coaching college ball for over a year now.  I'm sure that he is used to it. 

[granny grunt]

  Gus knows what kind of coach Nutt is and he probably has a very good idea of how much success Nutt will have.  I don't think he cares one way or the other.  
 Gus believes that he is where he is supposed to be[Tulsa] and that.... "All things work together for good,  to them that love God."

[TheNuttlessFrontier]

Successful career people don't dwell on the past.  Seeing as how Gus Malzhan has a record of success, I have a hard time believing he is looking over his shoulder at the mess he's not having to be a part of.

[Porkem]

Gus has tremendous character and genuinely cares for the UA players.  Nutt and Herring, on the other hand, disrepected him at every turn.  I think Gus would take the high road and not publicly say anything negative.  Now if you're Gus, and you're talking with your family and close, close friends, you would probably tell them what you really thought of Nutt and Herring.  I bet Gus has told the Tulsa coaches about all the back-stabbing if they didn't know about it already.

[Justme]

I would imagine Gus is so glad to be away from that mess on the hill, he's just enjoying his new job and life.  That year must have been a true nightmare for him.

[Porkem]

I agree 100 percent BLEED...maybe when he gets a little more experience...he'll come back here as the head coach.  You never know...I could see a scenario where Dale is fired...Butch Davis comes here...wins a national championship in three years and takes the big money in the NFL before retirement and thus, opens the door for Gus to come back.

Gus loves Arkansas...and I believe that deep down he wants Houston to fail that way maybe he can be our head coach....

He was scheming for the HC job while he was here, why wouldn't he be hoping it would open up now?

Houston, is that you ?

[seeya]

If I was Gus, and I'd had to put with a piss poor coach like Nutt, I'd want him to fail big time.

Gus is the root cause of this. He was a brand new coach and he encouraged an ego-mom to go over his bosses head. That is insubordination. He was a key to MM success. When they couldn't get it done on the field they started behind the back high school antics. Gus was demoted, mitch was run off and ego-mom was cancelled. Gus failed miserably as a coach here. He won games, won awards but never won the players or bosses respect on the field or in the locker room. MM failed greatly as a player and leader here. Neither gained acceptance by the players or the coaches. That's the reason he and MM are gone. They produced poor results in leadership, then challenged the system of a winning team and lost.

Amazing.  You must be here just to stir up trouble.  That was just not anywhere close to rational, logical, or honest thought.

Please, enlighten us:

1. How did Gus encourage Beck to go over Nutts head?
2. How did Gus fail miserably? He was a part of the team going 10-4.
3. How did MM fail greatly? He was a freshman who was expected to be redshirted.
4. How did they "challenge the system"?

I am no S'dale disciple and not really concerned they are gone, but don't type out of your a$$ just b/c you hate them for some reason. If your going to spout off like this, back it up.

BTW, are you and DOOKIEHEAD roommates?

[Porkem]

You may be right...Gus may have never said a bad word to anybody...but I don't think anyone is that strong.  Don't you think he would have confided in at least one person?  If not his wife, then maybe a very close friend?  I admire Gus a great deal and agree with everhthing you said. I just don't think anyone, including Gus, is that strong....mentally or spiritually.

I don't know if GM is that strong spiritually or mentally but I can assure that I know people who are.  There's a good chance you talk to some of them on here everyday.

[VANVONDENBURGH]

Gus hopes that his NEW coach is successful...and that is all he should be concerned about.

[Porkem]

Yeah I've noticed a lot of really strong, spiritual people on this site.  Hogville is just overflowing with good, decent folks that love the Lord and love their coaches...kinda scary huh?

Lol...I think "overflowing" might be a tad bit of an over-statement.
