Maybe Gus was waiting to move to a dry county!
OR, because he is from Arkansas, the reason he would turn down $3 mil a year and accept $800 K a year could be...because he's from Arkansas! And I dont mean that its because its home.

Malzahn's track record is much more extensive then Bustle's was.
No the fact that he was offensive coordinator of the year. National assistant coach of the year, won a national championship and produced widely successful offenses every where he went.
Va Tech was now for two things: (1) Vick & (2) Special teams. Ricky was offensive coordinator but a 2nd grader could be offensive coordinator for Vick.
Not worried.
The guy has an offensive mind no doubt.
Interesting that Malz was OC of the Year running an offense that was diametrically opposed to his philosophy and Asst of the year with Cam Newton.
Besides UL going the same route with Bustle, UL went the same route with Stokely. Been there done that.
stAte and the Sun Belt will get a lot of publicity from this hire. This is a good thing to have SBC coaches leaving for better jobs and having big name coaches coming to coach in this league. It is all about perception and the fact that Malzahn is considered a guru will only help the league when we kick his $&%@.
