Malzahn to Arkansas State

[UTCVol]

A lot of smoke right now. He would be taking a pay cut, but apparently he misses Arkansas.

 

[Coach Grizz]

He needs to put his old lady in rehab or the looney bin!!

 

[volstopfan14]

This rumor sounds crazy but it sounds like it may actually happen.

 

[UTCVol]

Supposedly $750K per year.

 

[UTvol53]

@AStateNation: We have confirmed that the contract has been signed and that Gus Malzahn is the new Coach at Arkansas State

 

[lylsmorr]

Wow.

 

[LittleCat]

Hard to believe.

Damn.

 

[UTCVol]

I just can't believe he turned down Vandy, Maryland, UNC, etc. and went with ASU. Kind of makes me wonder.

 

[volstopfan14]

FootballScoop has confirmed this. I'm really surprised that Malzahn took this job.

Go Red Wolves

...perhaps there is something coming down the tracks for Auburn?

That's what I was thinking. Makes little sense.

Something strange is going on at Cow College.

First, OC Phil Roof leaves to take the same role at Central Florida and now the Cow College OC, Gus Malzahn leaves for Arkansas State and takes a $400K per year pay cut.

Remember how Malzahn backed out of an agreement to coach Vandy for $3 million per year, just one year ago? Either Malzahn is not as smart as he and others think he is or something foul is in the air at Auburn.

 

[Vols4life]

I'm told Malzahn was "looking for a change" from Auburn and "looking to move onto something else- Joe Schad-from his twitter

I hope so :crossfingers:

 

[HSVol]

Hugh Freeze probably had a big hand in this. He and Malzahn are close.

Good for stAte. Their football profile has absolutely skyrocketed in the past five months.

 

[give_him 6]

Two coordinators gone from Auburn and the trees from toomers corner hanging by a thread. Will be a rough year for them next year.

You'd hit it though!

Weird moves.

What he said^^^. A million times what he said. I would HATE to have to come home to that.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Puzzling.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

no longer a rumor, can we change the thread title?

 

[PennVol]

Not puzzling, Chizik is a nightmare and an idiot, literally hit the jackpot with Cam and Fairley. Everyone running for their life before the building burns to the ground.

Man, I hope you are right. Burn baby burn.

 

[Rorban]

Im in total shock over this news.

If he was itching for a HC job, Hart should've fired Dooley and brought him in.
