If Gus did take the Arkansas job, who would Auburn target?

I don't think Gus will take the Arkansas job, but lots of people are saying that he might. If he does, who does Auburn try to hire?

Jimbo, Kelly (if UCLA or Florida don't get him) would be the biggest targets, but I'm sure we would end up with one of the smaller, yet to really prove themselves coaches. A Frost or Clark type

They go after who all is left after UT/uf signs someone. Timing would matter, and wouldnt want auburn in the mix until after UT got someone. Just no need for the salary war bump, and timing with the early period. I think UT and uf have been keeping off each others arse well so far which was my concern. Auburn would be a thorn for sure trying to throw money around in last minute scramble.

All the usual suspects....norvel/brohm/frost/etc. Jimbo if he really wants out. Close to his kids, so that would be big for both.

Personally from an outsider looking in I would look at keeping Steele if he has a great game this wknd. If he does I would hope UT brings him in to talk too.

Then theres the "who does sexton have left?" factor.

Petrino is not above their level. Bring back a coup leader from dats gone by.

First question is who would be making the hire? Isn't Auburn's AD basically a lame duck just waiting to be officially replaced? Would Auburn allow Jacobs to make the hire even though he won't be the AD during the new coach's first season? Do they rush and hire a new AD to then make the football hire? Would any big time coach want to go to Auburn without knowing who his boss will be?

I just can't see Malzahn voluntarily going to Arkansas. Yes it's home, but basically it would be the same system the SECW is already somewhat familiar with, only with less overall talent? If he leaves though, it puts AU in a tough spot.

Why would Gus bolt for Arkansas in the first place? Do people really think that Arkansas is a better job than Auburn?

Gus is not leaving for Arkansas. But if he left for the NFL or couldn’t coach anymore then Chip Kelly and Scott Frost should be the first call if they are available. Lane Kiffin and Bobby Petrino would be interesting at Tennessee too.
