Arkansas wants Gus

[AU64 10,122]

Why does any Auburn person listen to Danny Sheridan?  and more to the point, why would any Auburn person give a s*** to what that guy has to say about anything?    Amazes me how people quote him as if he's some "plugged in source" about anything related to AU.

Danny Sheridan is an idiot. Nobody takes him seriously. The Arkansas reporters such as Mike Irwin is a different story. 

Complete idiot, but for some reason USA Today takes him seriously, as do several other media outlets who have been covering his rantings over the past few days.

Danny does that to me....I'm sorry....

My thinking for what it is worth...

1) The REC gets something going like this everytime they are “worried” about losing to Auburn.  Par for the the course.  Before next week will be a report about “someone with knowledge” says they are working on a buy out/contract and it’s a done deal.

2) CGM isn’t going to Arky.  Same division of the SEC and will get his ass handed to him by Bama, Auburn, and LSU every year for the next 5 while he puts his program in place.

3) It will take at least 5 full classes before Arky has the players to run his offense.  

4) Taking #2 and #3 into account, CGM is too stuburn/competitive to start over when finally has talent and depth.

That's called the media. You think they take Lavar ball and his wisdom seriously? Or are they simply just trying to garner ratings?

Jeff Long to AU as ad? Maybe that makes Malzahn less home sick

1. Some good points but maybe he figures he can deal with AU, LSU and other guys and arky would not be all that bent out of shape about not being able to handle bama.  Plus won't have to play Georgia each year...think their permanent SEC East opponent is Missouri.....Whoopee.... 

2. took him 2 years (plus Cam) to run the offense to win a national championship so you never know what can happen. 

But probably Gus is not going anywhere....but makes for good conversation.....like someone noted, when Tubs was going to leave every year until he actually was asked to leave.   He might have been smarter to go on his own terms .....but some coaches don't figure that out until too late.

He hired Beliema for crying out loud.   Good judgment?

This is freaking spot on.  Go back and look at the Cam timeline.  The closer we got to the bama game, the more fiction was written.  Then after, it died down a few days, then resumed for the Heisman.  

 

Had there been a lick of journalism, the journalists would have focused on Miss St and the actual conversation and why an MSU booster was present when the coach met with Mr Newton.   But nobody really cared about the real story.

The one thing that really bugged me during all of this is why more attention wasn't applied to officials at Miss. St.  They seemed to be a helluva of alot more at fault than Auburn.

And that is why I have no personal tolerance of the thought of Dan Mullen ever setting foot on the Plains except as a guest.

LSU hired Gerry NiDardo away from Vandy. Auburn hired Tommy Tuberville away from Ole Miss. So if Arkansas hires Gus Malzahn away from Auburn, it won't be the first time a head leaves 1 SEC school for another SEC school.

A good coach doesn't lose to Toledo, a terrible Missouri Team, Texas Tech, and nearly lose to a 1-9 Coastal Carolina team.

The last good coach we had had us finishing in the top 5 in the country and winning 11 games. That won't happen often here but we shouldn't be as bad as we are now. Even Nutt won 8 or more games in 6/10 years and went to Atlanta twice.

sounds like a reasonable assessment of things.   But amazing to me that BB turned out like he did. 

Truly I expected more of him based on his Big 10 experience......and I don't blame Long for making a "bad hire" .....could have happened to anyone and has happened to lots of good ADs over the years. ....just look across the SEC and notice all the new coaches in place or soon to be in place because an AD made a bad hire? .

It can be done there.  Has before (in every sport) and will again in football.  Just got to get the right guy.  Again.

He did that . Your right , but overall he did great across a majority of sports .

I have not studied anything on this, but the Beliema decision didn't seem smart at the time to me and it smells worse today.

I will say this, I am impressed with their facilities considering its "Arkansas".  I have been in their weight room, student ath center and their stadium expansion is well above what they can fill.

Arkansas wants Gus? That's ok, people in hell want ice water. Neither hell nor Arkansas is likely to get their wish.

Initially the Bielema hire was great. He had a few big ten titles and a wining culture at Wisconsin. Now it’s a smelly fish, but then it was a home run hire . Cultural fit? No, but he did have a history of wining

Agree...but hindsight makes everyone smarter.

I'd love to know how Auburn could prevent sports reporters from reporting what they want?

I will tell you how. We could have an AD that is highly respected a very likable, who could go behind the scenes to make sure there are reporters countering this nonsense with Pro-AU pieces. We make fun of the REC but that’s exactly the type of thing they do. Of course we don not have that type of AD, so its a moot point.
