His first year is his only losing season prior to this one and he still has a chance at a bowl game although LSU and MSU will probably skull 17 them.
You have to remember that Arkansas is where Gus coached high school ball and coached Arkansas State, so there might be a connection there that would make him consider it where other coaches wouldn't.

But I would agree that if Auburn really wanted Gus to stick around, he won't leave for Arkansas. But if he finishes 8-4, there will be a lot of Auburn people who are not excited about him sticking around. IN that scenario, I don't think it would be crazy for him to say he'd rather get essentially four years salary guaranteed from Arkansas rather than coach for his job in 2018 at Auburn. Or even if Auburn is willing to up his buyout, he might would just rather go somewhere where a much greater percentage of the fan base is happy for him to be there.
