Per Trey Biddy...

[mckinneyhog5]

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

We would NEVER announce that..

[isavedjazz]

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.

Why don't you people get it? YOU LOSE NOTHING BY PITCHING GUS MALZAHN YOUR BEST OFFER. It would be stupid not to try.

The worst that can happen is he says no and you move on and hire someone who will do significantly better than what we've seen in the last 5 years.

[TreyBiddys Hair]

I used to be really close to Trey.  Unfortunately we had a falling out sometime ago.  However, I believe he is trustworthy.  Regardless of how I feel personally about his treatment of me.

[jimmur74]

So...What do either parties have to gain by waiting until after Memphis Championship game? Memphis? Are you kidding me. No way its Norvell and Im not buying Trey Biddy either

Been Norvell since Monday!

Just spitballing. Nobody knows. The only thing we can be sure of is that he will get an offer from us. Nobody knows what he will do with it.

[ricepig]

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

We never announce who our candidates are until we sign him, lol.

[GuvHog]

We would NEVER announce that..

Sure they would. It would be more of an intentional LEAK than an official announcement.

We're just waiting on an answer. Does it take mental gymnastics to offer someone a job?

[Razorback Pastor]

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

I agree

[mckinneyhog5]

Sure they would. It would be more of an intentional LEAK than an official announcement.

Nope...that would be telling the guy you hired that he was not our first choice. If Gus doesn't sign an extension Friday then he's coming, if he does sign an extension then Venables was our choice all along.

[Hawg Life]

We never announce who our candidates are until we sign him, lol.

Whomever is hired will be our 1st choice. It won't be Gus, and I do think we should leak that Gus isn't coming due to the cult following meltdown that will happen after Gus isn't hired.

[GuvHog]

Nope...that would be telling the guy you hired that he was not our first choice. If Gus doesn't sign an extension Friday then he's coming, if he does sign an extension then Venables was our choice all along.

Seriously?? With people like Mike saying Gus has been offered the job, you don't believe the other candidates are smart enough to realize that Gus was Arkansas' first choice?? That's silly.

[Soooie21]

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

I get that feeling also...36 years young...I like that also..

[The NewEra]

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

Who suggested they would?

[razorbackfaninar]

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

I agree. I had a friend call me over lunch very excited that we were offering Gus the job officially and I told him that if that was true it was because there were probably powerful boosters that weren't going to be satisfied until he told them "no" unequivocally.  I don't have any inside information, just my opinion and common sense, but I don't think he was ever coming here.   I don't have any inside sources about whether the sun is going to come up tomorrow either, but I feel pretty good about it.

If you read this post closely and notice the author it is truly a Hogville classic.

[razorbackfaninar]

Seriously?? With people like Mike saying Gus has been offered the job, you don't believe the other candidates are smart enough to realize that Gus was Arkansas' first choice?? That's silly.

I have a lot of respect for Mike and I read and follow his work and I am certain if he is saying that, it is because he has been told as much, but I don't think whoever we eventually hire is going to read what Mike is saying or put that much weight behind it.  I also doubt they will care too much.  Mullen seemed pretty happy on that flight to Florida although he clearly wasn't their first choice.   

[ricepig]

Who suggested they would?

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

[The NewEra]

The operative word is "anything" .  Please follow the bouncing ball.

Have we ever announced anything concerning another SEC coach's contract?

[East Clintwood]

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

They could always just rescind the offer.

[247Hog]

Have we ever announced anything concerning another SEC coach's contract?

I'll take every day logic for $500 Alex.

Thank you.

[The NewEra]

Again, that was not in the post.  Your assuming once again.  Let me help you.

I won't believe anything about Auburn's coaching situation until confirmed by an Auburn official.

I won't believe anything about Arkansas coaching situation until confirmed by an Arkansas official.

[rhames]

People are saying different things


No one knows what Gus is going to do

Exactly right. The coach that Arkansas hires won't care about not being the Hogs first choice.

Succinct.

What is something not found on Hogville?

Great movie.....

solid smokescreen there. that strengthens gus' extension money and covers for Mike for a couple hours lol.

[pigture perfect]

I'm just ready for a new chapter in this whole thing. A good sub-plot would be for Ole Gus to stick it to Auburn and leave them blubbering more than usual. But that would be too good to be true. Norvelle or Venables are my favorites at this point.

[NaturalStateReb]

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

Maybe Florida State.

So now, SDS is quoting tweets as its source. It was behind Hogville by an hour or two.

[Smallie Bigs]

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

If this is some kind of Sexton master plan to make Auburn give Gus a huge raise don't you think they wouldn't agree to an extension until a day after the SEC CG to give the impression that Gus is possibly considering Arkansas?

[Ham Sandwich]

I see OP is stealing info.

[isavedjazz]

I see OP is stealing info.

In his subject line he cites his source...

[Hog Milanese]

So many websites being used as "sources" for "news" when they're people in their basements with blogs.

[Busta_Nutt]

I see OP is stealing info.

Go make a ham sandwich, kid. Source is cited.

[tusksincolorado]

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?

If that was the case, we would had made sure Nuttless and his crew would never return.

[The Kig]

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

And was fired because of it... seems like Mike from Memphis State had his Defense ranked 1 or 2 spots from the Hogs D. 

Don't get the whole Norvell is a homerun crowd.  Dude has <2 years as a HC.  With his advanced network/coaching tree, why would anyone think an elite DC is going to follow him here?

Think Todd Graham as DC. Let that sink in.

[regi]

I don't know what is happening,  probably both schools trying to leverage some spin.  I live in Atlanta,  I heard Mr Blank,  and his GM say,  Bobby assured us,  he is staying through the season.  That was the lead up to MNF.  Tuesday night,  Bobby and Long were awkwardly calling the Hogs. So..

[LuckyGiraffe]

The best coaches in the country were rarely given the first offer. This is great news for us.

[riccoar]

Seems I remember a school in Oxford floating bad info on Norvell.

[grayhawg]

Seems I remember a school in Oxford floating bad info on Norvell.

yep

[hawgdavis]

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.

Every person on here has a different source I think that has a different version of what's going on. Looks like we're going to have about 3-5 head coaches come Sunday.

At this point unless I see something official I will just have to wait and see like all of y'all because it's blatantly obvious not a soul on here has a clue as to what's going on except maybe one guy and he ain't saying shyt besides giving cryptic updates.

It's starting to get ridiculous and annoying JMO

Us Texas raised Bawz werent raised that way. We are men of our word, and he said he wont be distracted from this Title game. SO WE WAIT>

Oh, I can think of a couple million reasons a high quality, good recruiter of a DC might be willing to jump on board. And since your head coach wouldn't be costing us North of 6 million, it would be easily doable.

LOL, WAY OFF BUDDY. Hogs defense #122 out of 130!!! TERRIBLE, Memphis' defense- #88 (ThATS THIRTY FOUR SPOTS HIGHER)with #7 in takeaways and a top 10 Special teams.... AND the #1 offense out of 130!!! You are just flat foot wrong, Baw.

Oh, and even recruiting to that cesspool of a city his group is higher rated than Arkansas' in recruiting, too...
