That Gus may be heading for greener pastures. Expect to hear an announcement soon that a mid-major has hired him...as...head coach.


Anybody see this happening?

Would be perfect for him IMO. Gus will be a great HC one day, but I think he needs to start out a place like USM. He will be the next hot young HC very soon.

Two years removed from high school? I would be shocked and disgusted if USM fired Bower who had 14 straight winning seasons to bring in a coordinator two years removed from being a high school coach. That would be a shame.

As I stated in another thread......

Gus has literally written a book on the Hurry up, No Huddle Offense

He won never ending consecutive state titles in Arkansas.

He then, in his first year out of HS and direct to the SEC, won the Rivals OC of the Year.

He then went to the nations smallest school with ZERO talent, Tulsa, and has orchestrated the #1 Offense in the Nation.

He is once again the front runner for OC of the Year.

Do not let his "lack of experience" fool you. He is widely considered a football genius and has tremendous respect from his peers.

He has literally won every where he has gone and done so in a fashion that drops jaws.

Also Rrod recommended him back in 92. I'll see if I can find a link.Only thing i've found so far..sorry.

quote:

One thing that people need to be reminded of is that Gus Malzahn made a name for himself long before Frank Broyles and Houston Nutt came calling. As Graham noted in a radio interview with a Tulsa station, he first heard about Malzahn 10 years ago from Rich Rodriguez, now the very successful coach at West Virginia. Graham and Rodriguez were talking and Rodriguez told Graham that he needed to check out a video that a high school coach at Shiloh Christian in Arkansas had produced about a type of offense that called for a 2-minute drill style then entire game. Intrigued, Graham looked at the video and called Malzahn. They’ve been friends every since


quote:

So you see, Razorback fans, Gus Malzahn, then a coach at small high school in Arkansas, was so advanced in his thinking that he caught the eye of one the most successful coaches in college football long before he became that success. Rich Rodriguez has won a Sugar Bowl and numerous Big East titles. His teams have consistently been players on the national state since his second year.

And that’s just one example. Urban Meyer, Bobby Petrino, Charlie Weiss and others have commented that their playbooks have incorporated some of Malzahn’s schemes

Why? USM is going to have to take a chance on a young coach. If they want to build their program to be respectable, they have to have a gimmick/spread offense. That's the only way to build a program fast at a mid-major school.

i'm not ripping on malzhan, but you paint the picture that this is lil ole tulsa and he turned them around
