Gus Malzahn just signed a new deal with Auburn that will pay him, on average, $7 million a year for seven seasons. Chad Morris just signed on to be Arkansas’ new head coach for $21 million over six years.
So, what does any of that have to do with South Carolina’s football team? Maybe nothing, or…
While Malzahn was tearing through Arkansas with a high-powered offense as a high school head coach and Morris was doing the same thing in Texas, Bobby Bentley was dominating South Carolina’s Class 4A at Byrnes High School. All three were high school head coaches for roughly the same time period.
