Gus, Sexton, Tigers, and Pigs, Oh my....

[TUSK]

Word on the interweb is that Sexton has made AU an offer to retain Gus's services....

It's a siege on the Plains...

I live in Little Rock and it seems to be a foregone conclusion to many that if gus loses to uga, he's coming to arkansas. . . not sure I buy it but there ya go.

All I've heard says Gus and Jay Jacobs have issues. Jacobs is a lame duck, so doesn't that solve the problem - minus the Sexton siege?

Jacobs is a non-issue... Gus was a dead man walking before he blew out UGA, beat Bammer and gottem in the NC picture...

I think Sexton is just using that to his advantage to hold Gus hostage for a mondo ransom... I'd LOVE to know the time table associated with the offer...

If I was Gus, I'd have Sexton working for some absurd Bielema like buyout at Auburn. For what ever reason, Gus gets a mixed reception in Arkansas - I think he'd have a tougher time up here than he should. Plus Arkansas fans/boosters are crazy.

So is Ark going all in on Gus and if that doesn't work out picking up Norvell or Chad Morris? Still a better situation than UT.

There's no telling - Wolken reported on twitter at one point that the boosters were calling coaches on their own and then the admins were calling others, now they've hired 2 search firms: one for AD and one for the coach.

Morris being hired starts riots, for sure.

Is this a case of Ark is not going to be happy with anyone but Gus? They better watch themselves before it turns into UT not wanting anyone but Gruden.

This late in the game, who would auburn go for to replace him?

[Cooterpoot]

If there's no movement with AR in the next 4 days, you know the Malzahn deal is done. Welcome back to the SEC Bobby Petrino.

What is Sexton's cut of all this?
With all the coach's he represents, he has to be the richest man in Memphis not named Smith.

Even with Gus, some will be unhappy - there's a contingent up here that simply hates him. Go poke around hogville - you'll see it in every thread about him. Arkansas never gets everyone happy on everything - it's weird here.

I'm going with Petrino.

I'm going with Petrino.

Doesn't he have some kind of crazy buyout? Seems like Louisville made it where if he leaves again then it is going to be very costly. Does no one look at PJ Fleck or make Chris Petersen a big offer?

Their AD getting fired voided said buyout - whooops!

That does make it interesting. I wonder why UT hasn't tried to swing him.

Is Sexton working for the ACC and Big10? Seems like he is trying to topple the SEC.

[Madisonmd]

Interesting you heard no one interviewing for ARK position? Makes one wonder if rumors are true they are going all in on Malzahn?

Since most of the rumors are about them targeting either Malzahn and/or Norvell, both of whom have games Saturday, it makes some sense that no one has heard about interviews yet.

Kiffen. Would be epic iron bowls vs Saban

Why would it not still be binding regardless of who the AD is?
