From what the local radio station said this morning.. he will have to take a pay cut..

they can't match 1.3 mill...

I agree though.. he could build on this job & get a bigger job later..

quote:

Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, we are told, has an offer on the table from Arkansas State. Though Arkansas State has offered to pay significantly more than it ever has, Malzahn would still have to take a significant pay cut to leave Auburn, where he is paid $1.3 million per year.

Most people we have talked to who are close to Malzahn don't believe he will do it, but others believe he might want to be a head coach badly enough to take the leap and give up the money. Malzahn is an Arkansas native who earned a national reputation as an offensive innovator at Springdale High School.

Our guess is that Malzahn will be Auburn's offensive coordinator next season, but it's only a guess. Whatever is going to happen should happen soon.

Arkansas State is looking for a replacement for Hugh Freeze, who resigned to become head coach at Ole Miss after going 10-2 this season.

What? For the last two years he could have built on his job he already has. Why would he go backwards to go forward?

I think he regrets not taking the Maryland job last year. He has been passed over this year due to lack of HC experience and Ark State is a place he could be succesful and get that next job up the ladder. The only problem is they are only offering 500k which is double what Freeze was making but still less than half of the 1.3 million he is making at Auburn.

Which is such an absurd OC salary to begin with.
