Some new info....

[porkrindjimmy]

I happen to work for the father of Auburn's director of recruiting....

Talked to that said person today. Said that Gus isn't coming here...in no certain terms.

My Arkansas people tell me different.  So...Gus is misleading one side....

Sours me on Gus. Just move on to Norvell....not Skip Holtz.

[Karma]

Sounds like Gus is telling both sides what they want to hear. I would love Norvell. The biggest risk we face I think, is waiting on Gus and getting played while we miss out on a few others.

[goodguytex]

Malzan has already proven himself to be a 2 faced punk in the past. We don't need that as our HC. Auburn can keep him.

[B Ray]

I'm not saying I know which side he is playing,but why would he openly admit that he is considering leaving Auburn to any other school , just not Arkansas.. It's not good business to do so, you lose your leverage!!!

[Piggie]

He told ASU he would be there up till the last second, and then packed his bags.

And I am afraid that is what this is setting up...Gus wins next Sat, and we are put off till the following Sat. He beats Ga again and we are gonna wait a month...and then he says no?

Norvell won't be on the table very long after December 2nd....

Again, afraid we just need to move on...and I have heard Skip Holtz's name way to much as a fall back....

i agree, we have to a have a hire date , if Gus keeps winning and needs to stay, it's time to move on and hire next .. I'm unsure Skip is the answer, but if they are waiting on Gus they better have a backup ready to go

People talk. Amongst themselves...have feelings. They say Gus has laughed at the possibility of coming here.

Now, sure he may not show his hand but it doesn't set right with me that we may be getting played here and a good coach goes somewhere else why we play tiddlywinks with Gus...

[ur]

Wish we would go straight to Norvell and call it done.

Skip would win less than Bret here.

Gus needs to say yes or no by Next Sunday morning, win or lose.

If it is no, Norvell, Norvell, Norvell...

Be pretty funny if we fired long and bielema and end up with gobn and skip holtz.

i agree, like I've said have a deadline, if he loses to Alabama we will know sooner , but the Sunday after SECC , say 2 pm the next Sunday we are offering X coach if we don't have an answer ...

Gus is doing it so that we won't get Norvell.  He's purposely doing it to say  Fec off to the Razorback powers that be

[jnhogs]

Malzan has already proven himself to be a 2 faced punk in the past. We don't need that as our HC. Auburn can keep him.

Right, and other coaches like Petrino for example would never do that 😳

[ur]

Gus is doing it to cover his rear for the iron bowl and sec championship. win he stays there, lose he comes here. He wins either way.

[NuttinItUp]

Comes down to the Iron Bowl, most likely...

[Danimal]

If that happens the stadium just needs to be torn down.

Could be....but if he wins next Saturday, we have to demand an answer by the next day. If not, we have to move on that minute.

Now, if his answer is no...and make no mistake about it, Gus and his people made the overture to us....he will never be able to move back here again.

If he is just stringing Arkansas along hopefully that will be enough to end a lot of people's obsession with the guy.

in Arkansas ?

[PigInTheHole]

in Arkansas ?

I didn't think to ask

[jgcat4]

There's no time like the present to ask that question...

[East TN HAWG]

The source is the recruiting director.  Really, what does anyone expect him to say?  There is a chance Gus wins the Iron bowl and stays.  Auburn's recruiting dir can not afford to say anything other than what he said.   

[Jackson_64]

Like Gus' track record but this is setting up to be the classic ploy for a pay raise at AU for him.
Hope we don't put all our eggs in this basket.

[Danimal]

in Arkansas ?

Waco, Texas.

[Hugo Bezdek]

Gus is a snake oil salesman, and even if he wasn't, his agent is. He has a well documented history of making promises he feels no obligation to keep, so no one should be shocked at anything he says to Arkansas or Auburn.

Oh Jesus. This is what makes us all crazy.

[ur]

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see that it will come down to the iron bowl to see if gus is coming. If he loses they want him gone. If he wins he has a clear shot to the nat title and he would be a fool to leave. So what if they fire him two years later. He has a title and money in the bank. Question is do we let Norvell go elsewhere while we dance with gus. Norvell will be telling his players he's leaving for ____ on Sunday dec. 3. Up to us to make that ark or not. 

[davril98]

I think it's going to be like the Bielema hire and be somebody no one is even talking about.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I have no idea what's going to happen, but Gus is not going to tell people he's leaving, not yet anyway.

This. Not to mention the fact we'd be getting the better coach.

[Danimal]

Oh Jesus. This is what makes us all crazy.

Did anyone really think he was serious?

[Hugo Bezdek]

Nah...The GOBN is in charge now. They leak like a sieve. Lanny's going to have to upgrade his servers.

[farmhawg]

Did anyone really think he was serious?

No. trolling.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Leave this mess alone and move on now. Too much B'S dealing with him unless you know 100% that he's coming. Meaning papers signed.

[GoHogs1091]

Malzahn is not the best option anyway.  For example,

Venables   5 National Championship games (6 NC games if the Southern Cal vacated game is still regarded as a NC game)

Malzahn   2 National Championship games

Venables   2 National Championship rings

Malzahn   1 National Championship ring

Venables is a better recruiter than Malzahn.

Venables is 3-0 against Malzahn when they have faced each other.

Venables   >   Malzahn

[Hogindasticks]

Venables may be our best option at this point.  It worked for Georgia....gotta be the same for Ark.

On December 6, 2016, Venables was named the winner of the 2016 Broyles Award for the nation's top assistant coach.[8]

Probably the one on West Buckingham with the pool listed for 1.4 million, but that's that's just a guess....

This is normal for coaching time. I don't want Gus, but if we hire him, I am ok with it. Gus also clearly told the ASU people he wasn't leaving. This is par for the course.

[Doyle Hograves]

The one Gruden and his wife already looked at? Is he still coming?

Gruden is holding onto that just in case.....
