Per Trey Biddy...

[Busta_Nutt]

Source says Malzahn to announce he's taking an extension at Auburn.

Shifting the focus away from Malzahn - it sounds like Norvell, Morris, Venables, and Kiffin are the ones who will be getting the attention from here on. Personally, I'm fine with any of the four. Venables would be my biggest question mark, simply because the offensive scheme will be unknown.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Been Norvell since Monday!

[Nosboar Accubond]

Sources say... but then... if when... smoke screen firm dilly... dilly...

[HF#1]

Is that on HawgSports.com? Are you ripping off their inside info from the paysite and posting it here?

[Tusks]

Shouldn't there be concern that Venables interviewed at MSU and was passed over for the OC from Penn St.

It would appear, OP should expect a nasty PM next time he logs in.....

People just don't get it.

Dear gawd I hope you are right.  I will say this, it does seem his name being mentioned at other coaching searches other than ours has died way down...could be a good sign.

[online-with-swine]

Thank God.

[The real Hogules]

Good for Ole Gus!
I guess this will end the "he loves that helmet" talk.
I'd have preferred Norvell anyway, so I consider this great news!

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Glad this could finally be put to rest

Friend of a friend. Not a member of HawgSports. Feel free to trash message.

[SooieGeneris]

If true, go get Norvell ASAP! Have a deal in place and keep it quiet until Sunday. If he wants to wear cornrows, dreads or shave it all off, get it done GOBN, JCP, Search firm or whoever.

[BILLYBOB]

Thank God.

Yes. Because we certainly wouldn't want a 52-year old, Arkansas-born coach who's current team has beat two #1 ranked SEC teams and has his program in position to win a national championship. We don't want that.

[idochog]

I thinking big bang theory.....seeeexxxxxtoonnnn

(Captain Kirk loud voice): "SEXTOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

SHUT UP!!! Dont yell at Jimmy!!  That dude has our backs. He represents Norvell and Kiffin, too. Calm yourself.

[solitons]

"Source inside UA says to expect Malzahn to announce before the game that he's taking an extension and staying put at Auburn."

Shifting the focus away from Malzahn - it sounds like Norvell, Morris, Venables, and Kiffin are the ones who will be getting the attention from here on. Personally, I'm fine with any of the four. Venables would be my biggest question mark, simply because the offensive scheme will be unknown.

please focus on the other candidate ASAP

[a0ashle]

If true, this will upset a lot of people, but it's the healing we need. The next coach can be Gus Bus free.

[rzrbackramsfan]

Those hoping for Gus, I wouldn't worry about that statement. 

[Razorpigg]

Yes. Because we certainly wouldn't want a 52-year old, Arkansas-born coach who's current team has beat two #1 ranked SEC teams and has his program in position to win a national championship. We don't want that.

Well hes not and wasnt coming unless he lost. So that tells me he really would rather be elsewhere. I could care less where his wife wants to be, that wont win us football games. Gimme the guy that wants the job, period.

with Auburn's 5*s, baw.

Ill take that #1 offense at Memphis.

An elite coach who competes for nattys??? Nah. #UNCOMMON

[Soooie21]

I believe that the UofA have been trying to get Gus to say no, so they could move on.....

[ShadowHawg]

What a pitiful group of fall back guys. Oh well, the curse continues.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Shouldn't there be concern that Venables interviewed at MSU and was passed over for the OC from Penn St.

No because he can make jack at Clemson and holdout for better such as a destination job not a stepping stone.

[HoggyCat]

Better find a defense and an SEC caliber staff. He doesn't have either one right now. Thai isn't the AAC.

[The NewEra]

I'm not believing anything until it's confirmed by an administration official with Auburn or Arkansas.

[JONAS]

I agree, but BB didn't have one either. 

[mckinneyhog5]

For those against Venables look at these stats and tell me what you notice...

Biddy and Kirk are the last ones that know anything. I feel bad for the people who are paying for that content

Yeah I figure we'll need upgraded scoreboards to keep up with all the scoring we will have against all of the crappy SEC defenses.

[parallaxpig]

Been Norvell since Monday!

I hope your right cuz I think he's the guy....

[EastexHawg]

Also reported by Tommy Craft and Grant Hall.

Was that when they were talking about how Tim Horton should get the job?

I'm out of state and just trying to follow along.

[GaRazorbackFan]

If this is true, Gus needs to make his announcement now or he never gave a flip about his home state, his team, the team that actually gave him his first college coaching job.

Meanwhile, I'm watching my favorite movie of all time......

Man on Fire

[hobhog]

He will be back on the hot list after first bad game next year. But rich.

[HF#1]

I don't think anything is believable at the moment. Gus could very well have Auburn's extension and our offer sitting in front of him.

If he accepts our offer, we won't know it until after the Playoffs so you should prepare for that. If he signs Auburn's extension, we'll know before the kickoff of the SEC Championship game.

Gus has until tomorrow or we're moving on...Now doesn't mean he'll be announced as HC tomorrow but agree to a deal in principle with an announcement Sunday. If not, Venables will be named HC sunday.

[Hog Milanese]

If Gus doesn't come home, we should make it so he never can. Can a State have a restraining order against a man and his descendants for all eternity?

[ricepig]

I doubt Arkansas will announce a contract extension for Gus @ Auburn......

The mental gymnastics it takes to think that Gus would accept or intend to accept an offer from Arkansas but wait until after he's coached Auburn through the playoffs is worthy of Olympic Gold.

[redeye]

Yes. Because we certainly wouldn't want a 52-year old, Arkansas-born coach who's current team has beat two #1 ranked SEC teams and has his program in position to win a national championship. We don't want that.

Ford won a national championship before he came to Arkansas and we fired him.

[jimmur74]

Who is Trey Biddy .....

[The Hawg Marshal]

Gus has until tomorrow or we're moving on...

That would be best for all concerned.

[GuvHog]

I doubt Arkansas will announce a contract extension for Gus @ Auburn......

They would however, announce that Gus is no longer a candidate and they are moving on.

Just paraphrase it.  You cannot protect thoughts or general information.  Just don't copy and paste and it's all good.
