Gus is a spineless careerist

[RideTillIDieHawg]

And I'd take him in a heartbeat.

1. He has coached and won in the SEC and everywhere else he's been.
2. If he has success, he's not likely to bail on a bigger job like an up and comer would.
3  He is a tireless recruiter.
4. He's not a 400 lb drunk buffoon.

[Arkansas Fan]

I don't think an up and comer would bail on us, we're the job that he bails for.

My biggest concern with Gustav is he won't get the amount of talent here than at Auburn, especially on defense.

No, he won't bail on a bigger job says the Arkansas State Indians.

Big difference between leaving A-State and leaving the Hogs not even considering he's from NWA.

If you had to live in that dump known as Jonesboro you'd want out too.

Exactly. NWA is the crown jewel of the state and is recognized nationionally as a great place to live. Jonesboro......I think once there was a school shooting there when I was a kid other than that nothing noteworthy about it.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I'm indifferent to Gus, but he's like any other D1 coach.  They're all a careerist...if that's even a word.  Our next coach, regardless of who it is, will be the same.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

And all you have to do is convince recruits from the deep south to come to NWA.

Not hard at all.  I'm from Alabama and signed to be a Razorback.  Thought I had died and gone to heaven when I arrived on campus.  It's 200% better than when I was there in the 80's.  Even better than Austin where I got grad training.  Take that to the bank!

Ever been to Auburn or Tuscaloosa.  I have lots.  Steaming...  They even had to cancel reproductive biology (sex ed) and drivers ed this past semester at Awbun.  Seems the mule died...  I'll be playing at the Catskills Inn on Thoisday evenings.

Right up there with Tolstoy, Ibsen, and Dostoevesly...Aw sorry there's me T-sipper coming out lol

NAME ONE COACH THAT HAS LEFT THE U OF A THAT EVERYONE AGREES WAS A GOOD COACH THAT ISN'T NAMED BROYLES?

[NuttinItUp]

I would love to have Gus just for the entertainment value of seeing all the haters have blood coming out their ears when we won the SECCG.

[Hawginj]

Ken Hatfield? He was my favorite.

Bowden Wyatt (I think thats who it was) left for TN.

And no matter who we get they too will not get the talent on defense at Arkansas, but at least Gus will already understand that about Arkansas by being in the league for awhile and also being our OC before.

I doubt there is one

4. He's not a 400 lb drunk buffoon.

I would support him if he is the guy, not my first choice but if he manages a win over 'Bama in two weeks, would that not throw a monkey wrench under the hood of the Gus Bus coming to NWA?

I mean, he'd be a SECCG win away from the playoff quite possibly even with 2 losses.

And I have it on good authority that Bert doesn't weigh an ounce over 375..

Gee.  Yet nobody has done it with any consistency since being in the SEC.  It's far from easy.

Lou was good, except my Freshman year.

Orange Bowl Champions
Fiesta Bowl Co-Champions
Sugar Bowl against National Champ Bama Co-SWC Champions when SWC was dominant against SEC
Hall of Fame Bowl Champions
Gator Bowl Barely lost
Bluebonnet Bowl Champions against Florida Cheating Gators
6-5 Frosh year fired

What the heck.  The Bug Stomper is fine..come on down Gus.

Wont happen but id take him to. He will probably get a good raise out of this. When is the next PHD types going to start the Gruden thing again? Oh I'm sorry not any not that many of that type post on here, just act like it. lol

I remember the last coach that had some success @ a SEC West school and left to coach another SEC West school..Houston Nutt!! Gus isn't the answer, nor is he coming here!!

But he got fed up with Frank. Left without notice. Killed the program. DO some research. If you don't know what your talking about, then don't talk.

Bet he GTFO as soon as he could too.

hey doo doo head where you [CENSORED] live?

[elksnort]

you been wrong about a lot of darn. It was likely born in Jonesboro there's no hospital over Black Oak

[Calling All Hogs]

If Gus promises to make us the Boise State of the South look out!

[Tusks]

actually black oak.

He lived in Black Oak but he was born in Jonesboro.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I don't care if you want to hate on stAte, but Jonesboro is not a bad town. Other than the mosquitoes it's actually pretty nice.

and I will go as far as to finding a-state too. My dad played football around track there. And if you say something bad about my dad I'll knock your danged head off

I thought at small crappy schools the track was always around the football field?  First I've heard of the football around the track thing...

[Jimbob111]

Gus has always made me think of Cary Elwes in Twister. Same character. However, I try to keep on mind that Elwes was also AWESOME in The Princess Bride so maybe Gus could be Arkansas' hero in black...and maybe Brent Venables could be his DC and walk around announcing "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die"...

Can confirm

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Heard Jim Dandy say it was the chitiest little town in America.

[King Kong]

Calm down Mitch

[Pigsknuckles]

Can't argue with success, but I never could get used to handing it off to the fullback on 3rd and 8.
