stAte fans sayin they got Malzahn

[CAJUNTODD44]

But we got HUD!!!!!!

[sportsfanatic21]

News just ran across the bottom of the screen on ESPN. Malzahn to Arkansas State. Wow. The guy supposedly turned down Vandy and around $3 mil a year just last year. Now he'll get less than $1 mil, and be in Jonesboro, Arkansas, doing coach's shows at the Sizzler. My how times can change.

I wonder how many coaches will absolutely FORBID their wives from accepting any public speaking engagements after this. Well, at least those who have wives that belong in asylums.

I just have one thing to say to Kristy Malzhan: SHUT UP!!!

Gus has been mentioned for much higher profile jobs. Too much baggage?

His wife personally assured that BCS schools wont be calling him for a bit. Kansas magically found a new coach after really looking like they would hire him.

Its a perfect fit though...Jonesboro is the one place on the planet where she could go and be forgiven...we have some of the most forgiving people on the planet here...Huge church down. The church ladies here will fawn over her. In exchange our fan base gets one of the best offensive minds in the game and the guy who taught Hugh Freeze how to run the No Huddle.

800K a year with a 2 million dollar buyout... Im still pinching myself to make sure I didnt dream this.

ASU and UL now have the two highest paid coaches in the Sun Belt, and the most well known...who saw this coming 2 years ago?

Congratulations on the hire. It's good for ASU and good for the conference. Also congrats on getting the $2MM buyout into the contract, that really protects ASU.

And the Toolame fans have to be in shock. Many of their fans wanted Malzahn or some other "name". Instead the settle for Johnson and ASU of the "lowly" (at least in their eyes) Sun Belt gets Malzahn.

Couple of things:

A: You Tube must have been posted by a BAMA fan.

B: Don't know the first thing about this guy BUT, Auburn offense sucked before Cam, won a national title after Cam, and offense sucked again this year. So after three recruiting classes AU got a superstar on the rebound, and what else?

It's funny the way they're talking about toolame's "committment" to football over here right now. The coach, the stadium, the BIG 12... It'll be interesting to see in the coming months if the Big 12 is actually DESPERATE enough to want toolame!!
