I might actually cry if he picked Arky over Auburn. Auburn is a million times better of a job and can pay just as much, if not more.
Chris Petersen and Arkansas.

Just took a look around and I don't think that has any legs, brah
Meanwhile, the Kirby Smart talk is building around the plains. Not sure how I feel about that, tbh
Yeah I don't see Petersen going to Arkansas at all, was posting more about if he does leave he might be poaching some assistants.
As for Smart, you know more about him then I do but I think you could do better.
He's comparable to Muschamp, IMO, in terms of where he is in his career before getting his first HC job. But, i'm not sure he's ready to step into a cluster like Auburn and right the ship. Would much rather have Petrino/Patterson/Petersen or even Jimbo Fisher.
I still think whoever and whenever someone steals Charlie Strong, they are going to be getting a good one.
eh, he still doesn't get me going. I don't think he would be awful, but I continue to believe there are better guys out there. Plus, Auburn may have already burned that bridge when somebody leaked that there had been contact made
Arkansas hires Bret Bielema, current Wisconsin Head Coach.

wasn't he just extended last year? seems like a lateral move to me
Not sure how I feel about this move for them tbh. I'm glad they didn't hire a spread coach like we did though.
and wasn't Bielema publicly bashing Urban Meyer's recruiting tactics at Ohio State. We'll see how that goes down in the SEC.
Auburn hires Gus Malzahn

Lots of people angry about it, but I'm not. I think it will be a good hire. No more rag to hold his offense back, and he'll leave the defense alone. Also recruits incredibly well.
I think its the smart play for Auburn. He should be able to hold the recruiting together and he knows that area and all that. If it doesn't work out then they can look somewhere else in 3 years but there was no "cant miss" guy out there at the moment.
At least I know that Auburn will get kids back in the weight room and score points. What will really be interesting about this will be whether or not he keeps many of the coaches, since he knows them so well. I would also imagine that there won't be an OC since he'll run it himself
Good hire, and a guy that knows what you have to do to beat Saban.
Would I have liked some other guys more? Sure. But he's young, hungry, respected by the kids as well as other coaches around the south (HS and SEC), and should return Auburn to compe iveness next year. Definitely a bowl
Hopefully, he can also keep the rest of the recruiting class together. Should still come in top 10, imo.
Saturday Down South @SDS
Bret Beliema once said: "We at the Big 10 don't want to be anything like the SEC - in any way, shape, or form."
Looks like full meltdown from the Auburn faithful here in the early going. So many morons had their expectations through the roof. Maybe I'm wrong about him, but I doubt it. Not really expecting another natty or anything, but we'll be back to bowling and out of the jailhouse (literally)
You can cut it with a knife
I'll look forward to Auburn raping his boring-ass offense for the foreseeable future
hiring Big-10 coaches
Solid hire by Auburn tbh.... now they just need to pull a Cam Newton and purchase Johnny Football from
Good hire for Auburn, imo. I'm surprised Arkansas didn't hire Malzahn.
Saban was a Big 10 coach, fwiw...
Bielsma was a home run hire for Arkansas.
Shhh his SEC team might lose its SEC speed if word got out Saban was a B1G coach.
saban was a load of other places beforehand. Bielema wasn't. Plus, saban. His pedigree isn't strictly big ten, like ol brett's is...
