re: Why Gus Malzahn Will Be The Next Arkansas Head Coach

I think one the biggest problems that many of our fans have with Gus hinges on his affiliation (or past affiliation) with Ronny Floyd. If you're wondering who that is, he's the preacher in the infamous video with Malzahn's wife. I'm not sure about what some fans fear about Ronny, but I'm also not from northwest Arkansas.

Gus's wife doesn't bother me that much. I'm used to that kind of thing. But honestly, I don't think Gus wants the job, at least not right now. And I really don't think money is a big motivating factor with him. If he's happy at Arkansas State, I think he should stay put for a while.

Personally, I think he's a good coach and probably would be quite successful if hired. But I can also think of some names who would not stir up as much turbulence within the fan base. We're kind of unstable as it is.

My biggest concern is with Jeff Long. I'm not really that convinced that he knows what he's doing when it comes to hiring a good coach.
