If A&M fires Sumlin, they would have the resources and natural recruiting ground that it would make sense that they could poach Mullen, but I'm not sure they fire Sumlin to go pay more money to Mullen when Mullen's overall record against Sumlin isn't dominant.

Arkansas is not a program that can poach from another SEC program and I don't even think Auburn is if they fire Malzahn.

While the rule won't be proven to be in existence, it could be proven to be false if Malzahn goes 8-4 and he jumps ship to Arkansas rather than start 2018 with a red hot seat when he knows he will have difficult games against Bama, UGA, and MSU in 2018
If Malzahn goes to Arkansas, it isn't because Arkansas stole him from Auburn. It would probably be similar to when Nutt went to UM.
