I always liked Malzahn's fire and his commitment to winning. He pulls out all the stops. He is fiery and I think Auburn made a HUGE mistake getting rid of him. Malzahn with Bo Nix could have produced another NC appearance.

UCF offense last year 3377 passing - 3197 rushing
UCF this season so far 2856 passing - 2575 rushing

But that kind of production just wouldn't work for a lot of our genius fans. Too much passing for some, too much rushing for others. 6000 yards in a season? we don't do it that way at MSU!!!

Gus has been number 1 on my list since the candidate list came out. However, I do not see that as being very likely at this point. Like others have said, I think he may wait out Arkansas for another year

Oh i don't either, but i was astounded at the number of people that turned their noses up at the thought of him. Like I said, he had his team playing for a natty with a Juco CB/WR at quarterback. The guy who our fans made fun of as a run only threat at Mississippi went down to UCF and passed for 3000 yards last season under Gus. The same guy who just torched Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago. But we had people adamantly stating that Gus would be a shitty hire.

People only look at records and if someone was fired. It is why they are turned off by Malzahn and Odom. Conveniently forgetting that Kiffin was also fired. Sark was also fired. This is not 2005 anymore where firing a coach meant their career was over. College football is big business now and coaches get fired early. 15 years ago Mizzou would have NEVER fired Odom. 15 years ago Auburn probably would not have fired Gus, although their boosters have always been a bit crazy. Hell 15 years ago we DEFINITELY WOULD NOT have fired Arnett. Saban and his dominance have skewed everything

I just feel like Malzahn's best days are behind him, and at the end of the day he averaged fewer wins per year than Tuberville did at Auburn. Sure he's had flashes this season but UCF is 13/14 in the Big 12 currently. He's not calling the plays anymore either.

It would be a fine hire but nothing to get excited about IMO.

100%. Fortunately he's not a candidate
