ATLANTA – It’s understandable why Gus Malzahn would seriously consider going back to Arkansas.
Home is where the heart is.
There would be less pressure. Less drama.
Less chance to win an SEC or national title, too.
Malzahn has faced Arkansas five times as a head coach at Auburn, winning four of those by an average margin of 31.75 points.
The loss was four-overtime thriller, 54-46, in Fayetteville in his worst season at Auburn in 2015.
Malzahn couldn’t go from worst to first at Arkansas like he did at Auburn 2013. He doesn’t have the overall talent to do that and it would take him a minimum of three years to accumulate it.
