We let the wrong coach go when Nutt was here. Didn’t know it then, but pretty obvious now who the best coach was. If Malzahn can recruit here like he does at Auburn, we would ALL like it.
He may not recruit as well here. But according to 247 TT averaged just under 18 in recruiting rankings his last 8 years. Gus has averaged 8…pretty impressive.
Will he be able to recruit like that here? I think that is the million dollar question. My biggest fear is that whoever pushed Long out an wants to bring Gus in wants to win so bad we are going to end up in Ole Miss’s shoes in 3 or 4 years. In both his stints at Auburn, it’s pretty obvious Gus doesn’t mind looking the other way on that stuff.
